>Attacking from Invisibility: Usually making an attack against a creature ends the invisible condition. If during your last action were invisible to a creature, you are still considered invisible when you make the first attack of that new action.
Because people need to be confused when certain invisibility effects don't end it.
Oh dear god. How many arguments is this going to cause.
> Sniping: If you already are invisible to a target and you are 10 feet from that target, as a standard action, you can make one ranged attack against that target and immediately make an opposed Stealth check to stay invisible. You take a –20 penalty on your Stealth check when attempting to snipe.
They used the word invisible to mean "hidden by stealth"
I'm in a bit of a hurry, is there anyone who can explain me a ting about magic item creation rituals in D&D 4e? I'm a little bit confused.
The Enchant Magic Item ritual just tells me I can create a magic item by performing the ritual and paying the item's cost and providing the mundane item. Any magic property? Even uncommon/rare ones? The remainder of the feat mentions rarities so I know it's been updated.
At the same time, the Disenchant Magic Item ritual gives me residuum. Is it needed for enchanting with the Enchant Magic Item ritual? EMR does not say.

@MrLemon All of them pretty much. He has 3 questions in one but they are all related in a way that he wouldn't be able to ask them as 3 separate questions without a lot of difficulty.
@MrLemon I just posted my edit do you think I could clarify more?
@Aaron OP just stated that it's about balancing Leadership below 7th level, as he will take it for Mass Combat, but doesn't wish to overpower his character as a side-effect
I have edited the question to focus solely on this part
Leadership does very little pretty much. It might get you access to a few boons early but your followers would do diddly squat because they are so low leveled.
@MrLemon Huh?
Oh. Yea the third question was the complicated one.
Wow. My edit did something right I just got 3 upvotes
Did I answer your question or do you need further clarification. I have played in a game using these rules and I pretty much ran the entire section we used the rules so I know them well.
That is what I thought, and since there is very little I could control outside of Mass Combat (as far as the Feat is concerned) it isn't really overpowering my character
@Aaron Yes, sortof...I think that is the way I understood it to begin with, but it is confusing when you talk about the Feat and the Score with the same name....perhaps d20pfsrd could have been more careful with the wording

Once upon a midnight dreary, fingers cramped and vision bleary, System manuals piled high and wasted paper on the floor, Longing for the warmth of bed sheets, still I sat there doing spreadsheets. Having reached the bottom line I took a floppy from the drawer I then invoked the SAVE command and waited for the disk to store, Only this and nothing more.
Deep into the monitor peering, long I sat there wond'ring, fearing. Doubting, while the disk kept churning, turning yet to churn some more. But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token. "Save!" I said, "You cursed mother! Save my data from before!" One thing did the phosphors answer, only this and nothing more, Just, "Abort, Retry, Ignore?"
The days of arguing with my DM for AD&D that his NPC was nothing more than a glorified, house-ruled personal avatar constantly there to remind us how awesome he is.
Gotta love the 15 page typed house-rule book that makes use of the words '..because it's more realistic that way.' every other paragraph.
I've never seen the sphere stuff, and I've already got a few too many irons in the fire in regards to my game's custom content to throw more stuff in there.
This 90s-era DM would pick up a system he liked, declare half the rules wrong, that the designers had no idea what they were doing, then rewrite a bunch of it so we had to keep bouncing between the rulebook and his 15 page booklet.
Because when I'm not doing paperwork or smacking my head on the roof of the patrol vehicle, all I do is read the AD&D monster manual and wish my laptop hadn't taken a [snip] in my lap.

I like to pretend that all of the planes have dull humdrum work like ours does.
First Level: "Have you tried turning it off and back on?" "Have you checked to see if it's plugged in?" Second Level: "This is the last train to the Elysium Transit Center, with Stops in Tartarus, Heaven, The Fey Wilds, and The Elemental Plane of Air."
@waxeagle Interesting article, but (like the first comment says) there's a large Beginner Box-shaped hole in it.
Not to say the BB is perfect (I've never seen it myself, so I can't say), but it deserves to be considered among all the other starter sets he's putting down.
I'm still stumbling into DM'ing myself, and I'm one of those weirdos who likes to read the books Cover to Cover, over and over again.
Still, the AngryDM guy makes some solid points. Even for a masochist like me it's kind of intimidating, and it's hard to get the newbie in my group in the know about the rules (And my House Rules) while still trying to figure out how to run this game.
I am modeling a medieval permanent-death game world which is self-sustained: a closed number of npc with specific roles and ai compose the economy and the "liveliness" of this setting.

This appears to be about meta-level game mechanics rather than worldbuilding. You might have better luck at gamedev.se or rpg.se depending on the medium of your game. — BESW10 secs ago
I have an answer with four games that should be perfect for him, except for the "creature compendium" and "relatively well-known" thing.
Until these questions are answered, I'm voting to close as unclear; I've got four systems I think would work wonderfully, but they all violate both the things I've asked for clarification on and still may not meet your group's gameplay needs. Are you okay with GMless games? How many players do you have? What about no-prep systems designed for on-the-fly improvisation the whole group helps with? I think you might be underestimating the scope of the RPG landscape. — BESW9 secs ago
Seriously. Someone concludes an answer with "I guess that's not really what you're asking for, but I hear that something like it exists which might be better for you! You should Google that."
