I also have the books (info on upcomming Power sources and more)

Just managed to get my hands on all three books. Only started to flip through them and noticed a few things. First they have a little sidebar which talks about power sources and confirms primal, elemental, psionic, shadow, and ki. Also there are only 4 Epic Destinies in the PHB: Archadmage, Deadly Trickster, Demigod, and Eternal Seeker. Once I have had time to go through more I should be able to answer some questions.

Hmm, confirmation of ki as a power source, and that's the first time I've seen elemental listed as being a separate power source. Very interesting indeed. Let the grid speculation begin!

Looks like no bare-knuckle fighter path?

Just a few wizard questions, if you don't mind. First, what are the names of the Wizard's other two at-will powers, we know the Ray of Frost, Magic Missile and Scorching Burst. Second, any info on the wizard's other cantrips and class features would be awesome.

They only have one for each build option. They are also the only class with 3 builds listed. The other classes look to have two for each of the build options i.e. Stormwarden and Pathfinder are both twf while Beast Stalker and Battlefield Archer are ranged.

Sadly there are no unarmed fighter options (heres hoping they are in the DDI or Martial Handbook)

I confess that I'm disappointed in the small number of epic destinies. I'm hoping "Demigod" is a good enough catch-all, since the others seem a bit... specialized (e.g. Archmage and Deadly Trickster have obvious lead-in paths.)

And weirdly, each PP sounds appropriate for only one of the Pacts, so any given Warlock really only has one choice.

From Agrias Oaks on another board.

Dwarf info

+2 con, +2 wis
+2 to dungeoneering and endurance

+5 saves against poison
can use 2nd wind as a minor action instead of standard
gain prof with throwing and warhammers
Move at normal speed when otherwise would be encumbered by armor or heavy load
get pushed back by 1 square less then normal, and can make a saving throw to immediately get up if knocked prone.

The two other at wills are called Cloud of Daggers and Thunderwave. Cloud of Daggers is a Force attack and Thunderwave is a Sonic blast

My question:

Are they cool enough that we won't need to worry about the limited number of epic destinies being tedious for awhile?

I can see any character being a Demigod, but only one an archmage or a Deadly Trickster. Kinda lame, dont you think? Guess I'll decide once I'll read through it all. If all those ED's only fit one class, we will see tons of Demigods roaming the land 'couse there aren't enough options to go around.
Assuming the Demmigod is a general ED, that is.

What do you think?

I'm hoping the deadly trickster ends up like Jack Sparrow at the end of the 3rd movie.
