Web Programmer. 4e player/DM. Have also run several games of Dread, and DMing an infrequent play test of DNDNext. Relatively new to table top gaming but I'm a fast learner.

comment How much control does a Ranger have over what triggers “disruptive strike” and how it is used?
I see what you're getting at now.

comment Powergamer to Roleplayer
This question is ultimately lacking in specifics. Is there a way to narrow it down, because right now it's just "how do I roleplay better" without any ideas of circumstances of your typical rp group, how you normally play (beyond the "I play optimized characters") and what areas you feel like you need help in.

comment Can you have an Undead Bane and Disruption on the same item for extra damage?
Please split the 4e and 3.5 parts of these out. They are quite different systems.

comment I want to build a castle, with magic!
+1 just for the cognitive dissonance from your first sentence "It's fairly simple" to the fact that it's an 8 page response :).

comment House rules for flanking
It might help as well if you expand on the problem you're trying to solve. Conga line of death is helpful, but why are your players and monsters forming one?

comment House rules for flanking
What's the party composition? What level? What kind of monsters do you normally run (how often do you use skirmishers is a really important question).

comment How do attack penalties stack?
@ObliviousSage penalties are almost never typed (I can't think of a case where they are right off the top of my head).

comment How do attack penalties stack?
@wmanfro your summon benefits (your still making the attack) from psychic lock. Weaken affects your summon's attacks (your still making the attack). "the summoner makes an attack through the creature, as specified in the power description."

This appears to be a better question for Board & Card Games

comment Paragon tier wizards 'rocket jumping'?
Attempting to explain anything in 4e in a way that makes sense in real world physics is probably not good for the brain...or the soul (and I like 4e).

comment Problems Regarding a Mary-Sue type Player Character
@Duncan obviously with Dread the questionnaires are darker as it's a horror game, but leading questions to set up some kind of narrative conflict should be good opportunities for a GM to write side quests, main plot lines and just extra flavor bits that give individual players a chance to star.

comment What is the best two handed weapon in 4th edition?
I've taken a crack at editing this. Brian's answer makes this worth saving.

comment Intimidation in D&D 4e - What can it be used for and what are the consequences for doing so?
@deworde that depends entirely on their level. At L1 that's really impressive (and a massive investment) at L20 that's a meh score.

comment Making epic combat interesting and challenging but not complicated
Welcome to RPG.SE! Glad to see you here. Please feel free to pimp your own stuff, just make it clear (as you gracefully have done) that it's yours.

comment Does a monster that saves against effect that gets reapplied by Dark Reach of Xevut get to save again?
I think you're asking the wrong question, I'm not sure the text of the power allows for the reapplication of the condition to the same monster.

@GMNoob attempted to clarify a bit.

comment 'From the class skills list below, choose four more trained skills at'
@Lucifer missed the specific question there. You can't really train a skill twice. but if you get to choose one of 2 you can choose both.
