Ooh, I can play this game. It also increased in rank from I think #41 to #1 on buy.com. Surely torrents are greatly helping sales!

All paladins have the same powers, with the exception of whatever divine power feat is associated with their deity.

I'd say pirating is more like symbiosis actually. There are upsides, in that a leaked copy can lead to more interest, increasing sales. People who would never have made the initial investment sight unseen get hold of the pdfs and decide to pony up. There are a great many neutrals. People who...

Is it to much to ask that when you claim that other people misled you that you at least site how you were misled? You read it, it's still on the internet, give us a link.

With the exception of spellcasters, who have fewer choices, I'd say that 4e gives a lot more room for mechanical differentiation. Start off with the fact you get 6 feats a tier, add in the two +1 bumps you assign to different stats every four levels, keep in mind subclasses. While you end up...

I don't understand why anyone who wanted to play a roleplay centric campaign would use any of the versions of D&D that I've seen (2,3,4). D&D has always been a tactics RPG. If you don't want the tactics, there's lots of systems with vastly simpler combat systems out there that would give you...

And yet an incalculable improvement for everyone who isn't a caster.

Can we get a spoiler tag on that VenezuelanWiz? We've already got the info, and it's hogging a ton of vertical space.

The cat is out of the bag though. The post office isn't going to retrieve the already shipped parcels at WOTC's request. I likewise doubt that orders made in response to this will get you your books early. Either you got lucky a while ago, or you're going to have to wait like the rest of us...

Second Cadfan's request for info on all the subclasses

Everyone here and on rpg.net who claims to has the books says they're from buy.com

I must vigorously disagree. :)

Could we get a look at the feat version of two weapon fighting?

This inability to reconcile additional attacks into the XP math worries me. If this is not a typo, then swarms are going to end up being way below their actual XP value. Additionally, it suggests that there are still developers at WOTC who don't grasp the vital importance of the economy of...
