    Bugbear and Oversize?

    I keep hearing about this awesomeness, but don't have the MM, could someone give me a clue and page numbers for when I get this book? If the rules are on multiple pages, what are they?

    Human or Eladrin Wizard

    I'm making a wizard and having a hard time choosing between human and eladrin. All other things being equal, for me it's a question of fey step vs the extra at-will power. Any ideas?

    Now you can make at-will powers: Sample build...

    I solved at-will powers. If you use this, please give me credit. The formula is [now] spot on for 22 of the 33 powers. A few are over cost, a few under, and a few are total mysteries. With this you can make all the 1st level at-wills listed in the classes, except the "?"s below. Feel free to...

    Well that was fun...

    (This is a post about my dislike for the new version of D&D. If you can't handle that then stop now.) Wow, now that the books are out... I just don't like 4th edition. I have been all over the 4th ed news and eating it up, so just know that I'm not a hater who waited for today to let loose. I...

    Who's better at Multi-classing?

    According to sources the half-elf is the multi-classing giant. But from what we know already, they only get a free MC feat that grants a replacement at-will power. Big deal. The human gets a free feat (pick MC) and an extra at-will slot so he can add his MC at-will power to his arsenal rather...

    Oh God the Ads! Stop the Ads!

    Gimme a banner ad for Keep on the Shadowfell at the top or the side. Not both! Twice the module. Twice the Tiefling. Twice the yoinking! This madness must end. The end is nigh! <Runs screaming into the ether>

    Humans get what?

    According to KotS, humans get an extra at-will, an extra feat, and an extra trained skill. That's a bit much considering they also get +1 to all their non-AC defenses, and a bonus to two abilities. Damn. Anyone else think that's a bit out of whack?

    17 days of Shadowfell?

    What the hell? Keep on the Shadowfell is set to release May 20th according to Amazon and Powells. Just two weeks before the full release of 4th edition? Wow. You might as well not buy the adventure. For most groups that amounts to 1-2 games tops between them. I'm saving the cash and skipping the...

    Why does WotC hate Macs?

    So, I've railed against Gleemax for some time due to my inability to log in, read links posted here that direct to those forums, and my fear that D&DI will be linked to Gleemax in some way. It is common knowledge that D&DI will not support Mac OSX, much to the chagrin of us Mac users...

    Which WotC settings in 4th Edition?

    If you're not sure what the settings are, I pulled the list from here. Discuss. Remember, it's multiple choice.

    Dark Sun, 4th Edition

    Should WotC create / release an official update for the Dark Sun campaign setting. To quote: A simple yes or no will do. But, feel free to discuss the merits of the setting below.

    The Rouse and &

    This is funny! But only $50? It costs more than that to change your name.

    Star Wars vs D&D playtest!

    First off, this is just late night silly time fun. Don't panic. Second, I know the systems are different. But I wanted to see how the "powered" pregens performed again the Jedi. With their force powers being per encounter and some of the trained bits of Use the Force, I thought they would match...

    New podcast...

    Here! Edit: Nice. I was in before the damned podcast was uploaded. The link to the article works, but there's no podcast yet. Damn.

    Updated pregen characters?

    I read somewhere that the pregen characters on the WotC site have been updated, including the fix for the paladin's "mark and run" flaw, but I downloaded them and they are the same as the original scans that leaked from D&DXP. Any ideas?

    Solo playtest...

    Just as an experiment I had a friend over to play a bit of 4th edition. I run him through a quick encounter and I was very surprised by the results. So surprised, we ran the same encounter again. He wanted the fighter (best chance of survival, right). I'm something of a harsh DM, so I put him...

    Rethinking Reflex and AC...

    According to this photo from XP: At the far edge of the page is the shield text, the last bit is interesting: The assumption was that shields only gave a bonus to Reflexes. Assuming shields grant a bonus to Reflex then heavy shields grant a +2 bonus, judging from the pregens. If Small size...
