So I have been reading posts... It seems to me a Duelist would be vary hard to make in 4e... sorry Im a swashbuckler at heart, in 3.0 the first thing I did was build a character to take the Duelist PrC.... Are there any options for such a character now?

You do know that most of the "new" mechanics of 4e are in essence recreations of mechanics already found in other games Some examples Per encounter powers, Witch Hunter & World of Darkness came up with this first, except they called it "per seen" Attack vs. Defense - I know I have played...

Umm that would be Henry Lopez from Paradigm Concepts... Paradigm Concepts publishes Arcanis: The World of Shattered Empires & WitchHunter: The Invisible World as well as some spycraft products. :P But what I have seen, I have to agree... it feels like a board game (movement in squares and so...

As someone who played the 1st 3e open playtest at GenCon back in the day.. it was easy.. They had all the spells listed on the character sheet, so I knew what the spells I was able to cast did. They handed all the players a character sheet with a hand out which had all the rules you needed to...

Yes Very cool

Get out of my head!! I have been working on something along these lines for about three weeks now.. what I have been trying to work out is culture > race > background > profession/class each step gives you X, Y, Z. Its in a very rough outline form until I see 4e. Also playing around with a...

LOL never had a power-gaming super stat monkey in your home game did you? Using just the cleric class and player’s hand book my home game GM would shake her head in disbelief. And I won’t even get started on what happened when she let everyone in the campaign start using any WoTC book (because...

From R&C "Another idea that has been bandied about lately is converting some skills to passive "defense" values. Spot and Listen are good examples....." Now we know they have perception, but we also keep hearing about spot and listen being skills... So, my guess is that perception just may be...

90% shure.. pg 68.. R&C, right above the smaple power writeup But to be honest that why people play D&D they are looking for that Tolken'esk feel... if you want diffrent take on elves I know a lot of 3rd party publishers have done there own take

At first I didint like the passive skill check thing but after thinking about it, I like it alot.. just sucks for the people being snuck up on...

It's a passive skill (about passive skills - Source: R&C).. so its always done as the characters "take 10" which means it’s a LOT easier to get jumped.... Unless sneak (hide/move silently) is also a passive skill, the ones doing the sneaking have a better chance to jump you (because of a lucky...

What is this I hear about secondary attacks being worthless? Sometimes I wonder if we were playing the same game... But seriously.. They are not completely gone, just changed.. If it’s like SWSE you can take a feat to get two attacks a round at a -5 to all your attacks.

Classic......

True, but that’s not “every warrior” I find that most people who play Fighters want to be the guy that charges into combat to unleash carnage upon their opponents. Think Brad Pitt in Troy, was he "protecting" anyone? No, he was killing anyone who was in his way. Look at “300”, Mad Martigan...

And thus they miss out on some amazing books.. A lot of which inspired 4E (Iron Hero's anyone?) yes there is a lot of bad d20 products, but there are just as many amazing ones.

Thank you... cuban coffe just flew out of my nose....

I like the per-encounter abilities, and the fact that buff spells last the encounter... But, Am I the only one worried that the game will end up feeling a lot like (need to be careful here because I know where this can go) playing my world of warcraft character. Now before we all go off the...

Ya for the last few months (for personal reasons) I have been a "Glass Half-Empty" kind of guy. With 4e I see some things I like (defense as saves, maneuvers for fighters, simple encounter building, longer sweet spot) and others I don’t (unified progression, spell schools gone) I’m planning...

wow, You are one of the most "glass half-full" people I have ever seen post on these boards... I wish I was half as optimistic as you! ::: queue evil genius music ::: Now if we can just distill your optimism and sell it! Not only would this be a better world… but we would be rich Which...

I can also state that Paradigm Concepts has yet to get a copy of the 4e rules set... I have a feeling it may be still out in play-test rotation, only reason why we wouldn’t have the rules set by now.
