Here's a card game called Edition Wars, created by the newly-formed game design arm of D20 Radio.

It made anything that provides a Feat Bonus to attack rolls obsolete. This is why changes were made to Hellfire Blood and Draconic Spellcaster, they didn't want popular racial feats to become worthless. Most other feats that provide feat bonuses either scale at +2/+3/+4 (Hellfire Arcanist) or...

Uh, what? Did I miss something? I know I don't spend a heck of a lot of time here, but I wouldn't have missed that.

Amazon delivered mine today, so I'm reading through it now instead of actually working... :D

Not necessarily. If the rules for parcels are good enough, you don't need to put treasure in a module at all. Just list what encounters give parcels and how many, and the DM can use the parcel rules to determine what that parcel consists of.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's how it works. Makes cantrips as useful at level 30 as level 1.

If it weren't for the spellcasting classes, we wouldn't have needed a new system at all. As SWSE pointed out, when all the classes are basically Martial, the 3.x system worked. Throw in a class whose core mechanic is spellcasting, it's a different story entirely.

That about sums up my feelings on the subject. I'll probably call them Archons or something, instead of Angels. Angels, Devils and Demons were the three terms they stayed away from in AD&D (thus the terms Baatezu and Tanar'ri), so it seems like they've brought Angels back just because they...

It seems to me like some stuff has changed since DDXP. It's also possible they were not 100% following the rules of character creation.

I've always hated the term Prestige Class to be used as a blanket descriptive for the mechanic. It implies a certain amount of, well, prestige. A Champion of Corellan implies prestige. Shadowdancer, Assassin, and Blackguard do not. D20 Modern called them Advanced classes, but they moved back...

Minor editing problem: You have an extraneous bullet point on page 34, for Extra Action, under Actions On Your Turn.

Maybe weekly updates on Fridays. Mondays will just be excerpts from the MM, the Wednesday PHB and Friday DMG updates are probably the most relevant.
