You CANNOT take immediate actions on your turn. Keep studying Genius. PHB page 268.

IMMEDIATE ACTION
✦ Trigger: Each immediate action—usually a
power—defines its specific trigger. The one type of
immediate action that every combatant can take is a
readied action (see “Ready an Action,” page 291).
✦ Once per Round: You can take only one immediate
action per round, either an immediate interrupt
or an immediate reaction. If you haven’t taken an
immediate action since the end of your last turn, you
can take one when a trigger allows you to. You can’t
take an immediate action on your own turn.

Yes I agree Minor, Move, Standard, Free, and Immediate Action is five, its still an action that you can take. Other than that I agree this quiz is okay, but still very easy. I was expecting harder questions like “What does Dazed do?” I mean getting into specifics like that it gets to be rough. But these were too easy.

Sincerely,

Question number three is wrong. While the standard turn can have 4 actions (Move, Standard, Minor, and Free) if one were to burn an action point, you could effectively get 5 Actions during your turn!

@Bookwyrm – I didn’t realize this until recently either, so I thought I would clarify that you cannot take immediate actions on your own turn. From the description of Immediate Action (PHB 268):

- snip -
Once per Round: You can take only one immediate action per round, either an immediate interrupt or an immediate reaction. If you haven’t taken an immediate action since the end of your last turn, you can take one when a trigger allows you to. You can’t take an immediate action on your own turn.
- snip -

So, you get one immediate action between the end of one turn and the beginning of the next.

#2 is wrong. Fighters also have dual-wielding powers.

I’m glad you guys were able to prove the AI wrong on this one! As always, a set of impressive scores from the DungeonMastering.com community. :)

Sorry about the confusion in some of the questions, I think that perhaps we forgot to evaluate some of the special conditions (for example, on those actions) but I also believe that this is a good exercise in research for all of us (myself included).

Questions 3 and 9 were way too vague.

In one turn, I can use an At-will power, move 6 squares, do a second wind (if I’m a dwarf), talk, and spend an action point to use a different power. Woah, I did five different actions.

Items that will boost spells. Items that grant benefits while casting spells. Is there some massive distinction between these two statements?
