No. I'm 99% sure the developers have specifically told us controllers shape the battlefield (Wall spells, Web, charms etc.). "Damage with side effects" is warlock, who is designated as a striker. So don't aggro. :)

Companies in general prefer to control the info that goes out about their products. Often bit silly, I agree, but also the standard practise.

Knowledge painstaikingly gained by empiric observation. :p

Umm... Is there some description what specifically is meant by a "power source" in the forth coming edition? This thread seems the be about listing various character concepts shortened into a single word. (Not that I would accuse anyone of BADWRONGFUN, but at the moment people seem to treat...

Well, turns out agro mechanics were such "an obiviously bad" idea WotC ended up using them. Yup, making it so that turning your attention from the fighter allows him wreak havoc or that paladin has an ability to make attacks on party members other than himself weaker are agro mechanics through...

Druids saying it is only a natural phenomen would be branded as heretics by their brethren. Adventuring party investors would speculate if more ruins would be exposed due melting glaciers, or would some now exposed ruins be covered due increased rain and snow fall. Pixies would sell you lemonade...

I don't care for "iconics" that merely appear repeatedly in text and illustrations. Ever changing characters would be more entertaining and interesting in that case. However, if they are tied to some sort of narrative similar to old Basic set, that would be cool and have my full aproval. Bring...

Then the problem is that the rules don't pit hardness of the tool used (sword) against the hardness of the wall. I also do find it a tad hypocritical to wail about fighters becoming part time magic-users when every other core class in D&D is that already (rogues have "use magic device" class...

I tought dwarves are essentially fantasy red necks (or was that what you were implying? :p ) Of the choises presented I would most like to be an elf. I might actually get lad once in a while. :lol:

Or an evil wizard. Imagine this scenario. DM: You finally face the infamous warlord Buzzac, who has terrorized the local courtyside. Players: Cool. It's showdown time. DM: Buzzac wins the iniative. He casts a fireball. Players: What, warlords can do that?! :p

That is just because people come up with so many names they feel are better than "warlord". Not really a credit to "warlord". I think any of the following are better: soldier myrmidon herald warherald battle herald battlemaster knight paladin (well, from what I have gathered, warlord is pretty...

Herald? Standard bearer?

Replace "UK" with "Europe", to get better idea. Heck, when I go by groceries, I see White Dwarf in the magazine stand. (WotC, take a hint :D)

Maybe they care about their hobby, in which case they might want it to prosper. That means they might not wish D&D be the game know as the the game with silly names. Just speculating... Anyway, "just change it" is rather weak retort on a discussion forum. On topic: I like "soldier". No rank...

Hussar for the win! :)

Well, both Baldur's Gates had autopause features, and even NWN games have manual pausing. They were still compromises, and for example I found it almost useless to cast fireballs in combat, because the enemies would have moved from the area of effect when the cast was done, or worse, my own...

I'd prefer: "Sigh... Yes, I'm Fizbin the Wizard. Now go away. Your incessant yapping makes my head hurt." :)

Great news! Now, on to the next silly name... I have read something about Emerald Frost school of wizardy. I think the name should go. :]

This one looks very European comics style to me. Wouldn't look out place in Heavy Metal either (well, you would need more boobs maybe).

First, ink on paper. A print magazine just is more portable, easy to use, gives more prestige and visibility to D&D brand and promotes the hobby far better than some articles buried in WotC web-site. Second, specialiced articles on things not directly D&D, but related to it in a way or another...
