yes... but there is no real reason to not get 20 or 18 in your principal stat

thinking back to the essential fighter/magic-user..... what about stances as a slayer + chain mail + mage encounters + utility from both mage and knight now the hard part what to take off the slayer improvements (no power attack to start off, and I would say less stances) and what to give as...

this is exactly my idea I think that the to hit bonus has grown in importance with each edition even a 18(00) fighter of AD&D 1st had at most a +3 to hit, the greatest capacity to hit come from class and level I would just get rid of the stat dependency and say your to hit is based on...

this, and the full interview is really interesting

I would like to see the Monk (and the Mystic idea is a good one :) ) and a Fighter-Mage more akin to the F/M of old, that means a chain mail fighter able to toss magic missile and the like indeed some essentialized classic hybrid would be nice to see back other favourite would be mage/thief...

as I said elsewhere I would kill stat bonus and give another racial power to the various races.... and if it would be possible (w/out going full 5th ed) I would try to lessen the importance of stats (if I HAVE to get 20 in my best stat that's not fun), stat should give a little bonus/malus but...

the FULL text of the Mearls interiew on the Escapist The Escapist : Complete Mike Mearls D&D 4th Edition Essentials Interview it's 12 page of interview.... and it's very interesting... and now they ruined ruining interviews....

and w/out dices or mices

we are sailing in the same sea... I am waiting them from amazon.co.uk to get them earlier here in Italy :)

done :)

this is more like it!

a long time ago I had an idea for a green and pleasant land w/out metal... the rational was that some mad archmage (hey they created the Owlbear so....) created tiny insect-tiny rust monster.... now could you think of cloud of rust monster loosed in the air... (think of locusts only eating...

I am liking the changes and new options :)

when I want to annoy people with the number of this update I use

I would have liked this BUT it's not only the cost of 32 more pages if you put rules for all this you should also put card for all this and then the price is going to rise furthermore since the box send you to the wizard online site if you get there you are then hooked and you can just...

I think this is not the case, there is a bigger difference, the solo adventure in the red box the solo adventure let you understand what is a pen and paper rpg w/out needing someone already in the know then it let you be the dm for a group of friends this is a big advantage in my opinion if...

other tough on this I think this is a very good product, it explain things bit by bit and by showing, the fact that it's not a complete game is a little bashed by the presence of the character builder demo FREE online, once you know what it is to play a pen and paper game and you want to go...

I think that never should be used "minion" of higher level than the PC or at most 1-3 level more

while I would liked this, I think that in the end that would have gone to another 32 page book or maybe 2 and that means at least a selling point of 30$ or more or different contents the problem (in my mind) is that if you want to be coherent you should put all the power cards of the added...

and a question in topic how can you generate/choice the stat for the characters in essential? pregen arrays? 3d6/4d6? point buy? it's more +2d6 :) each d6 is +3,5 damage 1st level +5 int mod (+1d6+1,5) 8th level +6 int mod (+1d6+2,5) 14th level +7 int mod (+2d6)
