    Yes, the spell can be cast as an encounter spell, so anything that would re-charge an encounter spell would work on the chosen daily spell.

    Q. 99
    Combat Superiority
    You gain a bonus to opportunity attacks equal to your
    Wisdom modifier.
    What happens if WIS modifier is -2 ?

    The intend is most likely that you only add the bonus if it is positive (After all, a bonus is supposed to be a good thing), but the chosen wording would mean that you effectively have a penalty by the RAW.

    To have removed all doubt they should have written wisdom bonus instead of wisdom modifier.

    Q100 (cool)
    The Pact initiate feat allows you to choose a warlock paragon path, but it doesn't grant you the warlock's curse class feature. All of the Paragon classes have one or more features and powers that require warlock's curse. Does this make Accursed Shroud (star power) Domesayer's action (star feature), Patron's favor(fey feature), Twilight Teleport(fey power), Collect Life spark(infernal feature) all entirely impossible?

    Actually it says "bonus", so it should be only 0+, else it would be "modifier".

    A 100
    Yes. Actually, useless (you don't apply the curse), but not impossible.

    The question was not about how many AP they got, that was clear enough. The initial question was "to make a monster a Solo, do I have to make him an Elite first?".

    Q 101

    The Paragon feat, Deadly Axe, allows the wielder to give all axes the High Crit property. The Greataxe already has this property. Is this feat useless with a Greataxe, or would the effects stack?

    My initial ruling was 'no', but I wanted support for one of our positions.

    Q102 I am slightly confused by the Cleric's Healing Word power. The text seems to describe it healing one person, but the "Close burst 5" suggests otherwise. Does the power just affect one person, or is it every person inside the burst around you or an ally?

    "Close Burst 5" + "Target: you or one ally" means that you can target a yourself or a single ally within 5 square from you. What's the difference between Ranged 5? Close Burst doesn't require line of sight.

    It says "Close Burst 5" for range, but then it also says "Target: You or one ally."

    Powers like this usually specify "one ally/enemy/creature in burst" but there're a few like it--such as the warlord's Inspiring Word.

    They're written that way, I think, because of one mechanical differences between close and ranged attacks: Ranged powers provoke opportunity attacks and close ones don't.

    Q104

    I couldn't find any rules for arcane spell failure in the PHB. I assume they exist (we've been through every previous edition with some rule preventing its effectiveness). It seems odd that for the first time they've allowed full-plate mages out of the box (as long as you get the proficiency feats). I scoured the PHB, but couldn't find any downsides (like Spell Failure). Is there some tidbit I'm missing? If so, page reference?

    Arcane spell failure has been removed; however heavier armor tends to still be a poor choice for casters like Wizards and Warlocks. Light armor adds either the Dex bonus or Int bonus, whichever is higher to the AC. Since Int is the primary attribute for a Wizard, a Wizard's AC in light armor is bound to be just as good as in heavy armor, without requiring the large number of feats to get there.

    P.S. Yes, this does mean that leather armor is one of the best feats to pick up for a Wizard.

    The answer is yes. Either you make it elite directly or by application of a single template. Then you make it a solo directly after or apply a second template for similar but not identical effects.

    As long as the spell is an at-will power, there is no reason why Orb of Imposition would not extend it.

    Alternatively, you can choose to extend the duration of an effect created by a wizard at-will spell

    This is a bit of a follow on from a previous question, but if a rogue has TWF and wields a dagger in his off hand, does the +1 for rogue weapon talent apply (since using the dagger gives a +1, is he considered to be using it for the attack?).

    Can "Cause Fear" be used on allies?


    Q. 108

    Is there such a thing as dropping your defenses willingly? (Give someone combat advantage over you on purpose maybe or not use your Dex mod to add to your ac by standing still?)


    Q. 109

    Is there a limit to how many of one power type (Daily, Encounter, At Will) you can use on one of your turns? (Like using a daily power then spending an action point to use some other daily power.)

    Assuming the Compendium on D&D Insider is correct, this is what the text of Cause Fear says:

    It doesn't say "One enemy," so you can target any creature. Hopefully your party members are creatures (as opposed to chairs or something), so the answer's YES.

    Also importantly, a close burst doesn't prevoke an OA which is the real reason they chose to use this convoluted wording IMO.

    Q 110

    When using a power that has two attacks (a ranger's twin strike for example), do you resolve the first attack completely before deciding on the target for the second attack?

    Can you do anything (action-wise) between the two attacks?

    Generally actions are resolved in sequence, so unless your action trigger some other action or another action is noted as an exception you finish that action before moving on.

    Attacks are resolved in order, so there does not seem to be need to declare the second target before the first is resolved, but I am not sure if it is explicitly mentioned.
