4e: big change in essentials: no more daily powers!

RC,
Such posts are typical thecasualoblivion. It is easier to ignore him.

Would this sad attempt to be insulting be tolerated by the moderators were it to be directed at 4e fans?

In any event, Chicken Little was distressed because he believed the sky was falling (i.e., a disaster was in the offing). The people you are talking about seem more exciting that perhaps something good might be in the offing because they hope it might represent a change away from what is currently being offered by WotC.

Your attempt at insult is rather like trying to call someone a "Chicken Little" because he hoped something WotC did might be an indication that the 4e module line was going to improve. It reflects less on the person you attempt to insult than it does upon yourself.

In 3e.5 that is a reflex save for half, how does it play in 4e? I have not played in a long time and would consider if they gave us optional rules that made it feel more like 3e.

In 4e the mechanic is built into the attack roll. FORT/REF/WILL are static defense values now, it's essentially the same but just makes for less die rolling. For example, something that would have been "Reflex Save for X" is now included in the attack roll like (before todays changes) Magic Missle is +X vs Targets Reflex save. So in short the mechanic now would be if your attack misses it would still deal half damage.

You know, that's about enough of that. We've had more than enough edition warring. This is thoroughly non-constructive.

Yeah thread closed but I have a couple comments to make about some of the late unpleasantness...

Its even more ironic when most of the Chicken Littles are non-4E players who are invested in the sky falling on 4E.

This is exactly the sort of snippy little dickish comment that helps keep the edition wars alive. The posts made by those who you are name calling speak for themselves. If you think they are rude and inflammatory then locate the Report Bad Post button and use it. Or put them on ignore so that you aren't bothered by them.

And you can shove your little condescending rhetorical questions that try to impugn the motives of the moderator staff. YOU also decided that rather than report a bad post that you were going to fight it out in the thread. How do you know that any of us were "tolerating" anything? What a full 30 minutes had passed since somebody made an objectionable comment and we weren't right on top of it? OH NOES!! MODERATOR FAVORITISM!
