LOL They're not even in the same league now. Hell this theme competes with actual CLASSES with a beast companion (namely Ranger and Sentinel, I think Shaman serves a different design aspect). I think this theme is incredibly well done, but it also competes with (or defeats) certain other options...

But. . .but what would we do without another Dex/Charisma race? This probably would have been a perfect race to make Con, Int/Cha. Dex/Charisma, which the last 4 (5 if you count the Revenant) races have had, is getting a little boring.

Awesome article and racial write up. I really like the various forms a player can take. Out of curiosity how did you make the final decisions on what forms to include or exclude (if any)?

As someone who can't regularly get a gaming group together I have to rely on Living Forgotten Realms a lot to get my D&D fix, so this is pretty awesome. LFR uses the core rules so I cannot ignore it.

Tomorrow will be 10 days since I sent mine in. I imagine they are starting to get backed up as it sounds like you early senders got detailed responses back.

It's still a clunky weapon. The defensive, reach 1d8 flail is nice. However the Kama end is identical to the PHB1 Sickle. This almost entirely goes against the description of the weapon in article where the chain is used to hinder and the sickle deals the final blow... with a Proficiency 2, 1d6...

Well, how I interpret that is: you need to have jumped during your turn, so if you've jumped before the attack roll during the charge, you've still fulfilled the prerequisite of jumping on your turn but BEFORE the actual attack roll. It's similar to charging into a flank to get CA. You don't...

Executioners are pretty awful. Still more support is better than none, even for a lame class. I know someone enjoys the class, so hey that's cool. Still the highlight is that Kusari-Gama. I was hoping it would be in this month's material, but figured it was too obscure (plus the spiked chain...

Rogues are frail. I never meant to give the idea that they're not. However, to a well played Rogue, frailty rarely matters. Yes, there are bad die rolls, but that can happen to any class. The reason their frailty matters very little in the end is because they are highly effective at everything...

Don't fight 6 Orcs by yourself while they're awake?

There's no such thing as a fragile rogue. Just a rogue that made bad decisions.

It's funny how Mearls said the point of the L&L articles was to open up a dialogue and regain trust. I don't know how polarizing poll questions really do that. I've stopped voting in the polls altogether because I guess I'm just a more middle-of-the-road type of player which is 4E's strength...

This is my only issue with the race. I immediately thought of this. If you're pressed for time, you might not even be able to carry everything you haven't shrunken down yet. Bag of Holding becomes a necessity at that point.

Dungeons and Dragons: Standard Business Practices Edition. Part of me wants to think, "An 3dition change now would almost certainly create a backlash and kill WotC/D&D". But I'm fully aware we got to 4th Edition somehow. WotC just runs the risk of the relaunch not being popular (like DC...

I'm going to say "no", but I'm not expert. If they were secondary and tertiary attacks as part of the same power the condition would apply during the first attack and be there when you make the second attack, third attack, etc. With this power, it is not broken down into 1st. 2nd and 3rd, so...

It's hard to say. You're complaining about players being overly careful. That's something you can't really compensate for. If the players are out-thinking the traps and monsters that is great, right? And ToH is the hardest dungeon crawler. If fact that was it's designed purpose. I think you...

I guess they want something that's one-time-only to draw people in to conventions (or to the in store program). That's just what I assume. Also, I'm not entirely knowledgeable on this kind of thing, but I know with something like Living Forgotten Realms, they had to jump through hoops to host...

Just my two cents: Hybrid Monk/Ranger. Go 20 Dex. Take the ranger at-will Fading Striker if you want to stay all melee (or any ranged at-will, like Twin Strike). At level 1 take Unarmored Agility or Armor training Leather. Then level 2 take Hybrid Talent for the ranger fighting style called...

I eventually got it to work. Just took using a different browser. I wish there was an at-will, but there appears to be a power for ever level (yes, they supported a non-Essentials class!). There's one feat that lets you use Int for Thievery checks if you took training in Thievery (one of the...

This is my fear and expectations. Similar to "playing a vampire gives you almost zero choices". It's a bad argument to say "these are the things that get pigeonholed" without at least entertaining the idea that there could be another way to do things (let alone the fact that it's a FANTASY...
