I'm not sure where exactly to put this, so if it's in the wrong place let me know


On the main D&D website there is a little box that used to be Sage Advice and is now labeled Q&A. Usually this box has rule explanations, or sometimes information about the site or D&DI as a whole. That's pretty cool

But lately, some of the questions have just been... well.. kind of dumb. Like take today's question:

I noticed similar questions that had nothing to do with rules in the Q&A. I think it stems from 4e being so new, that few real gritty questions have been sent in for the sage to answer. Right now, everyone is still getting their bearings. But as the months progress, and the shine wears off, I predict you'll see much more traditional questions in that column.

Yay! They did a real question this time!

Q: If I take the Initiate of the Faith feat, can I heal (a) just once per day, or (b) twice in an encounter once per day?

A: You will be able to heal once per day. The note about healing twice in a single encounter once per day is for clerics, not for characters multiclassing.

I'd love for them to answer more questions that people repeatedly ask about.

Next on the list of questions that official answers would be nice to: What action to switch handedness on a weapon, and what does the [ts] in the Paladin paragon path power mean (once and for all).

as for ts: we figured its a shortcut for times, and that's how we'll be handling it until it is properly errataed.

as for the q&a section: it was quite useless for quite a long time, most of the stuff was either to basic to be considered even asking, or to specific for most ordinary cases.
