Does anyone know where I can get a higher-def version of this vid? Cause I'd like to be able to read what the Elite Controller Mind Flayer can actually do ;) Also, I like that they're using the Eberron conventions for Dinosaurs names. It makes sense, given latin isn't a D&D language.

Perhaps WotC either A) thought that the old 3.5 art still fitted with their new art direction or B) they couldn't find any art that was superior to it, so stuck with the old picture. I'm glad that we're keeping the old vampire pic. Remember that thing from the templates excerpt? I don't want...

Yes, but how many monster illustrations and how many monsters were in the old edition monster manuals? (I'm probably going to regret asking this, aren't I? Cause I don't have a clue what the answer might be...) P.S. 2e was a TSR product, 3e was a WotC product. I imagine there may have been...

I don't get it... why should the wizard's attack rolls with his spells be inferior to the Fighter's attack rolls with his weapon?

My guess on the skeletons, from left to right: Skeleton Warrior, Boneshard Skeleton, Blazing Skeleton, Decrepid Skeleton.

While contemplating how to defend myself (and failing miserably, thanks ;P) I realised that as Lay on Hands is classified as at-will it can be used while the Paladin is dominated... So I'll just mention that and hope it draws attention away from the fact you brought up a damn good point ;)

Oh god, Storm Giants sound epic :D Can you remember what level the Storm Giants were, and how many stat blocks there were with their entry? Was there a Storm Titan, by any chance?

They should just make the Eberron drow the standard drow. Jungle-dwelling Scorpion-worshipping advanced tribespeople is much more fun (and by fun, I mean dangerous to players, and so fun for the DM ;) ) than a bunch of cavern-dwelling spider-worshipping constantly-feuding advanced civilisation...

It's usable a number of times equal to the Paladin's Wisdom modifier, and there's no limit to how often you can use it in one encounter, so it's an at-will power. It just has a certain number of uses per day.

Is it too early to guess Tiamat for MM5? ;)

Dwarf Fighter! There's just something about Warhammers... I blame Games Workshop and its obvious subliminal messaging during my youth. Yeah, that'll work... I have to ask though - why oh why did you put up a 'Francis' option? (though, to be honest, I'm surprised noone's picked it yet)

So you know what a female looks like? I imagine this would be the reverse for the Drow pic ;)

I feel your idea kinda defeats the whole point of there being a disenchant ritual - to allow players to take enchantments from weapons they've gained and apply them to their favourite weapons (or atleast, that's how I've heard it goes). This is an idea I REALLY like. Also, it seems rather...

You're missing the Swordwings and Phane, but I'll forgive you ;) And, to be perfectly honest, I wish I could find a way to use all of them.

First of all the Bugbear Headreaver stat-block I imagine you are referring to (as I'm pretty sure the actual MM stats haven't been leaked) comes from a DDM stat card, which dates from a time where monsters were designed with 'less hp, more damage' in mind. The one in the MM is probably more...

Wow, the Fire Titan looks slightly... Balrog-ish. I like :D It also looks like that, unlike their Earthy cousins, the Fire Giants have the statblock for a warrior and a wizard, which is good.

Um.... that's the 3.5 article for implementing Epic Destinies in your 3.5 game. Also, hooray for the MM not having an monster ability missing!

It ain't automatic damage unless the creature attacks someone other than you and, seeing as you can attack it, it's likely it can find a way to attack you back. Let's remember the monster also knows full well what the Challenge you've imposed on it does (as per the Powers Excerpt) so unless...

I believe ending a turn would count as a seperate action to moving. It just feels wrong to go 'I'm moving AND ending my turn! You can't shift and spoil my marking!'

No, the shift happens immediately after the Paladin moves. The end of the turn follows the ending of movement, and so is after the shifting. However, I've noticed that it explictly says that the mark still functions if you try and attack the target (not if you actually hit them) so I imagine...
