How are they defining "roleplay" such that it excludes exploration and combat? Do they mean social interaction?

Why would you expect an Essentials version of the Barbarian not to have dailies? Barbarians are explicitly supernatural in fourth edition. I'd be pretty surprised to see an Essential Barbarian that didn't have daily rages.

It's not just Mages, as any Wizard can choose the new encounter powers. (And Mages can choose older ones, for that matter.) But I don't think this is intended as a Controller thing, just part of a general recognition that feeling like you've completely wasted a limited-use power sucks. Note...

Apologies if this is old news, but I was flipping through Heroes of the Fallen Lands and just noticed that they list the class/build/role combos that are coming in Heroes of the Forgotten Kingdom, and one of the two new Ranger builds is a controller. About time!

So you would argue that this "Superior Will" is superior to the other Will feats? That must be a mistake.:) I was briefly tempted to break out the "M" word, but to be more civil (and, well, accurate) I'll just say that only some people hate having a crappy NAD. Personally, one crappy...

Magic was the item on that list that jumped out at me. Isn't it sort of a cliche how every Magic set since the beginning of the game has ruined the game forever?

I'd look for them in the DM's Kit, myself.

Are we not mentioning the Skill Training feat because it's too obvious?

I like the description, but note that if you're talking about the actual 4E class features, a Hunter Ranger isn't "almost" as lethal with bows as an Archer Ranger, they're exactly as lethal. There's really very little upside to the Archer Ranger. (They get +2 vs all Opportunity Attacks, as...

Psst, Gradine, fba, you need to keep posting; it's taking me longer than expected to find where they keep their power cards.

What's your basis for that conclusion? Have they revealed an Essentials power or class feature that says it's an Immediate Interrupt or Reaction? Because it seems entirely possible that no Essentials build will use Immediates at all, in which case poof, that particular bit of fiddliness goes away.

Magic ones.

Well, they wouldn't necessarily be running the show, because of course they have to compete with all the other 4E creatures who are much smarter than humans on average. (A quick list using the Monster Manual 3 alone: Arcanians, Banderhobbs, Beholders, Cambions, most Demons and Devils, Dragons...
