I am completely fine with that misread. I even endorse it.

I like having non-magic options in D&D. I don't hate magic or anything but it felt like an area D&D could use more of.

Thanks. The subclasses purposes match the ones you described here. Great minds and all that.

The fictional icons I was thinking about were Sherlock Holmes or Brainiac. I have seen the idea in a few other places, but those are the most famous.

I certainly hope it has a different enough feel to it to be its own thing. I certainly can see your point, though. I was more shooting for someone who solves things without magic or a strong arm, but with their intellect. That was the goal anyway.

I think it works with medium armor just with the Int bonus instead of Dex, as per the suggestion he put in the thread. I do like the notion that it expands the builds people might shoot for.

I am comfortable with this. It seems to keep the idea behind it and seems perfectly workable. That is to say, I wanted originally for them to be strictly armorless like a monk. The Armor is a compromise which was a good compromise.

It appears that Mike beat me to the reply. Cursed day job!

Wow. That interview demonstrated to me that Greg Leeds and Wotc in general have no idea what they are doing. There is no indication the piracy effected brick and mortar sales at all. Indeed they could have taken actions to have it encourage sales. Their actions have increased the need for...

Okay I don't jump in on discussions often but I will take a swing here. Why is it a big deal? A couple of reasons. First off, while PDF's are not your cup of tea they are a growing segment of the market. Do they represent a large percentage of D&D sales? No probably not. Were there more...
