Hi everyone,
As the title suggests, i am new to DnD 4e. I had some of the books for years, but i never really read them in much detail and i never played it. Now, this has changed...somehow my interest in 4e has risen to the point that i want to use it (i'm a bit sad that my interest comes that late as it is now a real pain to find any of the 4e books for reasonable prices, especially where i live anyway...side-note closed).
Now my question is this: what would you 4e veterans tell a new 4e GM and/or player? What are the pitfalls of this edition? Overpowered builds to avoid? Details to keep in mind? Books to avoid and books that are must-haves . Talk to me about 4e! In particular: talk to me about the mechanical need-to-knows and important progressions.
Thank you all in advance for you help.
P.S.: Is it just me or do the boni get real crazy with ascending tiers of play?!
