Very puzzling. If they're just expecting word of mouth to sell this product they may be unpleasantly surprised. A lot of players and DMs are a bit peeved about another new Edition. Those are the ones they need to be going after. It reminds me a bit of how SOE released Everquest 2 and...

They've said they're considering many things other than just combat to be Encounters. My understanding is that DDE they ran an entire scenario that was skill-based only. More loosely defined, perhaps an Encounter is any combat, puzzle, or social interaction that might require skill checks or...

The difference is between halflings and HEROES, I suspect.

I think maybe you missed the part where adventures in 4E aren't ordinary people, they're "points of light" in a darkening world. Levels 1-10 are Heroic levels. An ordinary soldier falling off a roof could die or be in bed for weeks. A Hero falling off the roof could hurt themselves but...

My guess would be that wizards can still collect enemy spellbooks, since that's where Daily spells come from. They probably can't learn more than 1 new Daily per level, though, so it might not do them any good. But even if they could learn it immediately, they still can cast only one per day...

You're understanding this is a 1st level power, where minions have only 1 hp apiece? If a fighter is still using this power regularly at higher levels, then definitely a problem exists. But this power is more than sufficient for a fighter to knock 2 kobold minions on his round, which reduces a...

What I gather from looking into my various sourcebooks is the following: Wee Jas is LN with LE tendancies, hence her living in Acheron. Her death aspect has nothing to do with the undead, it was gained after the Rain of Colorless Fire when her worshippers looked to her to ensure the dead were...

I'm starting to suspect this is going to be a highly errata'd volume. No god's individual ability score bonuses (over 24) are less than 21 + divine rank. But how (or if) class level modifiers are added to that is used with extreme inconsistency. Most of the Pharaoic deities I looked at...

True. Especially given that he's battled St. Cuthbert and Vecna's avatars on occasion. It really should be at least +4, every other demigod I've seen detailed so far has a +4 or +5 weapon. In any case, if this is a mistake it's not the only one, Tharizdun's AC values don't come near to...

Did you see the D&DG web enhancement? It shows diety progression at each level. Firstly, gods get 1 point ability enhancement to one of their ability scores at each level of divine rank. So a god with all 30's as a score could change 1 to 31 upon gaining a new divine rank. Spell-like...

A workable solution might be just to make the dmg 1d6 per round, non cumulative. This makes more sense for a second level spell anyway. Since metamagic feats, even of the same type, are stackable (according to the official FAQ), piling a number of extends to 9th level on Creeping Cold at...

Yuck. It should work exactly the way the spell and the feat describe, and it's unfortunate that they used the word cumulative. Balanced, no. Flawed design, yes. You have (if extended, of course) a 3rd level spell that does an AVERAGE of 72 dmg and a max of 126. Where was the editor hiding...

D&DG does include divine ascention information, if the Web Enchancment WoTC just released for it is any indication. It talks about players advancing, how dieties gain divine rank, and shows a sample progression from quasi thru greater. V

Well, even with all that exhaustive research you must have somehow overlooked this information on skill retries, which was sneakily hidden away in the PHB Skills chapter under the Retries heading. "For example, if Lidda the rogue misses an Open Lock check, she can try again and keep trying...
