Is something stopping you from playing previous editions?

I much prefer the Hammurderer. "Stabble, stabble!"

I voted for pie, not only because pie is tasty, but also because whether or not I switch will depend largely on my groups, and not on me. I've pre-ordered the books, regardless. I hope I get to use them. :D

I live out in the boonies. The nearest FLGS I would consider shopping at is 25 miles away. Let's see. I could use 50 miles' worth of gas and wear-and-tear on my car, an hour or more of my time, and pay full price. Oh, and there's no guarantee that they'll have the products in stock. Or, I...

What do you mean by "custom" classes? Creating a new archetype with creative multiclassing? Designing new base classes from scratch? Something else? We know so little about classes and multiclassing at this point, that it's really hard to say, regardless of what your actual question is. ;)

I'm very excited about 4e, but rather apprehensive about being able to convince my current groups to try it. :p

.sigged :D

Maybe "can't" is too strong a word. Maybe rituals are generally too long (and the wizard too squishy) to be successfully cast during an encounter, but with the right setup, it could be?

Not exactly, since they can't be performed during combat, but that seems the way they're going.

Don't overlook rituals. We don't know a whole lot about them, either, but IIRC new rituals can be discovered, bought, stolen, etc.

The 4E "launch" isn't until June. Or perhaps you could make the argument that the product "launches" at D&DXP, or when the first preview adventure comes out. What we're getting now is a trickling of information from the developers themselves. I suspect that the marketing machine will get into...

That's still not the "right" order. Dex and Con have been transposed.

If any of the players in my groups were to actually do either of these things, they wouldn't be in the group for very much longer, I don't think. CR and WBL are guidelines for a reason, and if a player wants to argue about it, tough.

Thanks for the link! Though one thing that confuses me is that it lists it as "(Paperback)". Hopefully just an oversight.

Could you clarify this a bit? Are fighters and warlords going to have powers that are, essentially, magical, or is it more open to interpretation?

I voted "other": PCs are literate by default. NPCs are literate or illiterate as required by the plot, within reason.

MLK Jr. Day. Many public-sector employees will have today off, but it's mostly a crapshoot whether or not private-sector empolyees will. For example, I don't. :\

I won't begrudge WotC for this decision, but it makes me a sad panda. It will be harder to convince my group to move to 4e rather than to 3.5e.

This could simply be the same way that the 3.5 SRD is incomplete -- in that there are two key pieces of information missing: how to generate ability scores, and experience tables. I'm probably just being overly optimistic, though. :\

There's a thread on this already. http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=215688
