Any hints you might be able to supply as to what sort of classic D&D monsters we could expect to see?

I'm a big fan of this set. I especially liked how the stat block contains a picture of the monster in question. It makes switching between monsters when DM'ing a whole lot easier. I'm a big fan of the ecology-like sections for each monster as well.

This seems like an awful lot of work. I'm thinking that printing the power cards using either Character Builder or one of the other power card options you can find online and inserting them into a Top Loader style hard plastic sleeve would be a whole lot easier and more economical than buying...

Fingers crossed that it will be available before D&D Encounters this week.

Shouldn't the first issue of the John Rogers/Andrea Devito stories be coming out soon?

The Thief build gets a +1 to attack rolls with all rogue weapons at level 2 and also gets a +2 to damage with the Weapon Finesse class ability that scales up with later levels.

The feat 'Light Blade Expertise' that appears in Heroes of the Fallen Lands does give a bonus to damage when the character has combat advantage as well as the standard bonus to the attack roll.

Seems to me that the Slayer needs a better dex and different dice. The Slayer's not going to deal as much damage as the Thief but he'll do that damage every single time he hits whether he has combat advantage or not. The Thief's extra damage will always be conditional. Of course, the smart...

How do you get a medium sized character to wield a huge sized weapon? What path do you take to this cheese? The only option I'm aware of for medium sized characters to wield larger weapons is Eternal Defender.

Doesn't really sound like this feat is something you or your players would pick in the first place...

Page 49 of Divine Power, the same book in which this feat appears, does a pretty good job of defining D&D style pacifism. Look for the 'Peace, Not Pacifism' sidebar (and, yes, I know it says '...Not Pacifism' and the feat is called 'Pacifist Healer'--they still work well together.) As for the...

It's not something that big chains even think about actually. Seriously, the typical FLGS just is not anywhere near their competitive radar and RPG books are not even close to being top sellers for them. They get their shipment of books in so then, logically, they put the books on the shelf...

I ordered mine online or else I'd go out hunting.
