I'm a Master of Information, an MMORPG expert, and in my spare time I dabble in Dungeons and Dragons, mainly 4th edition. I secretly aspire to re-write 4e into AD&D 4.5 and fix all those niggly issues I have with it.

comment How does Phasing interact with the Z-axis?
I appreciate the cinematic problems with Phasing, but my problem is much more game specific: the player says "I'm phasing, so I do this" and the rule has to be adjudicated. I suppose "the DM will just have to make something up, the rules don't provide any guidance" is a valid answer (and may be the only one) but I was hoping for some more concrete explanation of what the rules allow a phasing player to do...

comment Can a prone immobilized creature stand up?
That definition of move does discount standing up from prone, because the definition says that leaving a square to enter another is moving and standing up from prone is not leaving a square to enter another.

comment When does a power count as an attack?
What about "Wizard Attack 1" Flame Arrow, that targets all allies in a close burst 1 and buffs their next attack with 1d6 fire damage? No "attacks" happen with or as the result of the use of that power, unlike Direct the Strike.

comment Does the Direct The Strike power provoke OA?
But is Direct the Strike an "Attack" or a "Power" given that it does not have an attack roll? It seems to be a ranged power with an effect, and wouldn't count as an attack. Note that OA's are triggered by ranged powers, not ranged attacks, despite the armors referencing ranged attacks, not powers.

comment Does the Direct The Strike power provoke OA?
I wonder if Shimmering Armor or Shadowdance Armor would work: "You do not provoke opportunity attacks when you make ranged or area attacks" and "Your area and ranged attacks don’t provoke opportunity attacks." Is Direct the Strike an "Attack"?
