Hi, On our meetings there were several quarrels. So my questions are: 1. Does bow and arrow enchantments stuck (I mean + for attack and damage rolls) ? 2. Does ritual casters with EMI can only make common items (are uncommon if they have recipies) or players are free-to-do (making uncommons only with gold) ? 3. While monsters have zone effects (like Necrotic Aura which does 10 damage), does those effects are stackable ? 4. Some items have only "bonus" word in description while many other have "item bonus". Does those two word are similar ? 5. I know that some rules can be changed by DM but, if a player uses his power after the battle (like Flying - Inquisitor), how long he can have all the benefits from it? 6. The situation was, that player was fighting with pack of wolfs. He used mentioned before flying and shooting them with hand crossbow. Does the encounter ends when he kill all the wolfs/wolfs will hide or is it limited by time? 7. Does ongoing damage stackable (the same type of damage) ? Waiting for answers

1) No.
2) Only common. But many DM's allow you to make uncommon as well.
3) Yes.
4) "item bonus" does not stack with another "item bonus". "bonus" stacks.
5) "end of the encounter" = 5 minutes. "end of your next turn" = 6 seconds.
6) Encounter is over when the danger is gone.
7) No.

Ok.. thanks for answers.
But I've got another one.
Me and my companions have went to Shadowfell. Well, my Dwarf Runepriest died there (totally) so DM told me to make another character who'll be introduced in some time.
As we all know that in Shadowfell there are many creatures with "necrotic" keyword (auras, powers etc.).
I want to play Revenant Warlock (no, I'm not using your build mellored ) and I've lost the "living creature" keyword - if may I say like that (Death's Blessing feat --> more role-play than "power-play"). It means I'm an undead.
When players uses their necrotic-keyword-powers than we make no damage to undead, half damage and maybe even heal them.
How it is with "undead" Revenant. I'm just a simple player or DM will need to think twice while using some necrotic powers on me?
Ow!!! I one more. Is Scout trully so lame? Only one at-will (1[W]) and Power Strike? Nothing more?
And the same thing about Executioner. Executioner is a "one-shot-character", after his mixed attack his useless.
Maybe I'm wrong? Could someone explain it?
How does the two melee weapon fighting works? While I have powers where is req. "2 weapons" it's ok. But what about OA? I'm making a basic attackwith one weapon or one attack for both weapons (damage rolls 1[W] + 1[W] for each hand when hit) or one atack for each hand?
In 3 and 3.5e it was obvious but in 4e I'm confused
Regards

The power will do whatever the power says it does. Your status as being undead means nothing unless the power specifically says so. Necrotic damage doesn't heal undead, nor are they immune to it (unless you have some feature that says otherwise).

Unless a power says you're using both weapons, you aren't. A Melee Basic Attack is an attack with one weapon.

I don't know much about Essentials classes, so I'm not qualified to answer. I think both of those classes have build handbooks in the Character Optimization forum, so you could go there, search for 'scout handbook' and 'executioner handbook' and the threads will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the classes in minute detail.
Another day, another three or four entries to my Ignore List.

Executioners and scouts aren't "one-shot" characters. Not using the original AEDU power structure doesn't make them "lame" and certainly not useless. What you're forgetting about the scout and executioner are their striker mechanics...
The executioner has Attack Finesse - they use Dex for their basic melee atacks and once per turn they add +D8 to their damage for an attack.
Rather than getting encounter powers which do greater damage in a once-per-encounter spike (and even then mba + assasin's strike = encounter power), executioners do slightly more damage overall on their at-will powers which balances out in the end. They also get more at-will powers than most other classes due to their guild training, which makes them more versatile.
The scout gets both their own version of Attack Finesse (they use Dex for basic attacks) and Dual Attack - whenever they hit with a basic attack (which is all they ever use) they get to take a second attack with their offhand weapon. Their "one at-will" is basically the original ranger's Twin Strike with the qualification that they have to hit with the first attack.
Rather than additional attack at-wills, they get utility at-wills in the form of their Aspect of the Wild stances, many of which enhance their basic attacks.

Eh, I find them lame specifically for that reason (spamming basic attacks = snoozefest). They're not useless, though. No class in useless in 4e (except maybe the Binder).

Swarm druids.
Binders are still playable. Weak certainly, but playable.
Swarm druids will just die. Doubly so if they actually attempt to do as they are built for, which is off tank.

Hi, It's me again I've got another question. How does the Darkvision work? PC is seeing everything perfectly like on sunny day or everything is black & white ? Also, what's with it's range? I know there are several feats that are giving a darkvision with some range but how does it works with Assasins Paragon Feat (no range given) or Drows? Thanks for answers
