[QUOTE="Halivar, post: 4499081, member: 9327"] I FINALLY GOT MINE! Initial thoughts on skimming: 1) Great presentation and arrangement. Man, I wish the power titles were color-coded. 2) Am I the only one that sees immense out-of-combat potential for the Troubadour and Spellbinder 1st-level daily power [I]Imaginary Terrain[/I]? 3) Eldritch Trickster! This is a delight to see. I was a huge fan of the splat-book version of the Arcane Trickster, and this is a worthy adaptation. 4) Spymaster daily utility [I]Invisibility Globe[/I] is the answer to one of my wizard-player's biggest gripes: no more [I]Mass Invisibility[/I]. 5) We never used crafting rules in 3.5E, and we probably won't use them in 4E. Nevertheless, it's nice to know that if somebody randomly requests it, I've got a good framework here. 6) It is my belief that the inclusion of ninjas, no matter how out of place they may be, improves any book. 7) Really? Is that all the Wildshaper gets? I think there's a missed opportunity here; Mouse's approach to wild-shaping is fantastic, IMO, and I wish this were a 30-level class with a wider range of shifting options. I am [I]very[/I] happy that there is no Monster Manual look-up's here. In other words, this paragon class is so cool, I wish there was more of it. 8) Best bard ever. I can't believe it, but I want to play one. As someone who has always loved the [I]concept[/I] of the bard, but always hated the [I]execution[/I], this is a huge boon. 9) I know that the Spellbinder != Illusionist (well, not exactly), but I do wish there was more illusory goodness. There are an awful lot of direct attack spells, when I think this would have been a good opportunity to try crafting a class whose attacks are always status affects of some sort. It will be harder to fluff this as an Illutionist, IMHO. I [B]AM[/B] happy that illusions aren't the automatic "you are now out of the fight" spells they were in 3.x. Well done. 10) This is gonna sound weird, but from a min-max perspective, I see shire halfling paladins and warlocks in my future. EDIT: 11) Martial Artists can use weapons with most of their skills? I can have [I]Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon[/I] swordfights? Sweet. [/QUOTE]
