Also, the Ranger class gives you a choice between Dungeoneering and Nature, along with three other skills, to be trained in at 1st level. If Dungeoneering and Nature were not on the class list, it could be inferred that the Ranger could not be trained in both Dungeoneering and Nature using his...

Doesn't really fit the setting flavor, though. Valenar are also ancestor-worshippers, they just don't let them walk around and run things. :) I don't see why you can't use Elves for both the Valenar and the Aerenal. The differences are largely cosmetic. I can see Eladrin in Eberron easily: as...

For the Eberron fans in the house, how about the writeups for Warforged and Shifters as races from the MM?

Regarding pre-orders: Meh, I can live with waiting, as my next gaming session probably won't be until after 4E is supposed to ship anyway (although it'd be interesting to see if Amazon has a similar "accident" as a result). The $4 price difference isn't enough to justify switching my order and...

So that means we have all 8 power sources that WotC said they were looking at, right? Arcane Divine Elemental Ki Martial Primal Psionic Shadow Plus, the unofficial ninth power source: Ignorance

I was going to look at the Swordmage class for FR and, if I liked it, houserule it in as a placeholder in Eberron until we get an official Artificer class. The problem with simply porting Artificers from 3.5e is that some of what makes Artificers unique is either standard 4th Ed rules...

I think one of the things we're going to see in 4E is that stat blocks in pregenerated adventures are meant to reflect the state of an NPC or monster in a given encounter, and not simply an instance of a Kobold Minion. Stats in sourcebooks (such as the MM) will be "generic" examples. So the...

What, you can't afford the new models? They're only 150 euro...

Excellent! Will this include the "how to set it in Eberron and FR" articles? I'm planning to run KotS for my Eberron gaming group, and it'd go over even better with the extra setting info. Not to mention the extra pregen -- dare I hope that it's a Warforged (insert class here)?

Well, for one, I can't find a link to the page containing all of the 4th Edition art previews anywhere...

I already checked my local Borders; no dice. Getting KotS early andat a discount would have been sweet.

Yes, but that presumes you can take 20 on Knowledge checks, which I know 3rd Edition did not let you do. ("The check represents what you know, and thinking about a topic a second time doesn’t let you know something that you never learned in the first place.") 3rd Edition let you make untrained...

As a veteran ranger, I plan to live off of the land, dressing out my kills and making food from them. Orc jerky, anyone?

And here I was so clever trying to figure out what the wording of Hammer and Anvil might be, and I didn't know you could click on the figures to see the stat cards. Nice to know I was pretty spot on, except that I guessed the primary damage might be 2[W].

"Ushering in a new age" is somewhat ambiguous: historians tend to decide when an "age" begins and ends, and the founding events of an "age" are often not felt until long afterwards. I'm reminded of something that Jim Starlin once said about writing for various "cosmic"/"epic" storylines he...

I think the Siberys Mark should be a paragon path, not an epic destiny. According to the established Eberron canon, a Siberys mark is not usually something you work towards; you either get a regular mark (which can be developed, as the Dragonmarked Heir class and other feats show) or a Siberys...

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Kathra catches up to the others at the Court of Erathis. She looks through to the at her comrades-in-arms. "Tira is in the Court without either starting an argument or getting thrown out for heresy? This day is full of surprises." She gives a perfunctory nod to the monument of Erathis, and...

Looking at the Human cleric from DDXP and the Half-elf cleric from KotS leads me to believe that Insight may not be a trained skill for Cleric; Erais may have used a human bonus trained skill to get it. Speculation: I think future pregenerated characters will all list if a skill is trained or...
