Title says it all. I'm trying to prepare for my groups transition to 4e and I'm looking for ideas on using marks. For playing around with the XP pregens, my group just grabbed coins. I tried looking around for plastic chips in a variety of colors, but there's not much out there appropriate...

We still don't know if there are class features that are gained at levels other than 1st. (Powers excluded) It is possible that it was formerly a Warlock ability. It's also possible that Prime Shot was an ability that you had to choose over something else, and the XP Ranger chose a different...

Double weapons are in a lot of the concept art, so I expect them to be included. There's a chance we won't see them in the PHB, but by the Adventure's Vault most certainly. Quarterstaves have at least improved in damage. d8 now over the old d6. what other changes may or may not come have yet...

That 3.x mind set. 4e, you gain a feat every even level and one at the start of each tier. (1st, 11th and 21st) Humans presumably still gain a bonus one at 1st. (Along with a bonus At-Will) Lastly, many old 3.x feats that were "good" are now re-imagined as powers.

Force Orb is selective. Enemy only. "Secondary Target: Each enemy adjacent to the primary target." It's pretty sweet in a melee mosh pit.

Power cards. Character Sheets are coming with blank cards you can use to track your used powers during an encounter. The ones shown aren't the final design, and are in Magic the Gathering card sleeves. DDI will likely have a pdf of the same cards, and I would imagine pre-printed ones...

Don't get your hopes up. That's pretty much what you'll be seeing. (Along side a portrait option.)

Everyone's aware that NOTHING prevents the monster from attacking this Warlock/Pally right? Invisibility does make it very unlikely that the monster would reliably hit if they ever hit, but they still have the ability to attack. And only attack actions that don't target the Warlock/Pally...

My vote goes to 11! One of my groups DM's has placed his campaign on hold as soon as 4e was announced. One of the others has put us on a path of world cataclysm so he can incorporate the changes in 4e immediately. I've ran short side games of SAGA to help introduce some of the changes and...

Modern should be seeing an update come late '09 or in 2010. (Seems like forever.) d20 Spectaculars was to be the official WotC hero setting for Modern, but was placed on the back burner about the time development of SAGA and 4e started up. It's been hinted that it could be revisited for an...

Wizards (controllers) start with 10 + Con hp and gain 4/level. Warlords and Clerics (leaders) start with 12 + Con hp and gain 5/level. EDIT: Additionally, all classes have at least 6 base healing surges a day. Both Leaders have a base of 7.

I've been making my own sheets since the red box introduced me to the game. I had never considered a landscaped sheet before. The closest it's come up in my gaming groups was a request by one of the players that I make my double sided 3.5 sheet printable on a 11" x 17" sheet so he wouldn't...

How old are your players? Seems pretty narrow minded. Never the less, mechanically there was good reason to favor casters in 3.x. A lot of that is gone though with 4th. Fighters and Paladins really are bad ass. The best way to get your players to think twice is to show them the errors of...

I said many players. I think every race has it's fans.

Drow is unlikely given a FR write up this year. The same stands for Genasi. They'll be in the FR write up as well. The same logic applies to the Shifter. Eberron write up next year. Gnome is a definite. Wyatt's too quick on the draw with that first 'G' for not to be. Goliath and Githzerai...

Every card posted in this thread are nicer!

Look out! plaincards.com (Been ready for this one! Started plotting out cards as soon as they first revealed powers. ;) )

I think Changeling would be more likely for Eberron than PHB II. Gnomes are more universal to D&D, and thus a better candidate for PHB II. You won't see the Psy power source without the Psion class. It and the Psy Warrior are the Psionic cornerstones. I don't know why the Soulknife would be...

The Bard has been covered above, but Psionics... -Psion -Psy Warrior -Ardent -Lurk/Soul Knife There's an easy four that cover all the roles. And as you can see, the Lurk/Soul Knife thing may not be collapsed into one class, and I'm not even listing the Wilder yet. So... I think Psy fills out...

Kill the sacred cows! Eliminate multclassing restrictions. Armor as DR, not AC increase. Monte's Sorceror, Bard & toned down version of his Ranger. Incorporate OA Monk rules into core Monk class. Fix the discrepancies in the weapons. (A sickle's a simple weapon, but a kama is exotic???)...
