I think the game will be less focused on magic items because character won't need them anymore to be able to face balanced encounters. Just getting rid of magic items wouldn't achieve that, as putting some more won't prevent that. I like magic items and I believe most D&D players do. We don't...

What about two recipes for Chocolate Cake? One is the normal recipe we find in the internet, no big deal. The second is pretty much the same, but it's better organized and gives you tips to make an even better and more delicious chocolate cake. So in game terms, whenever you are making that...

I'm not "doing" anything, chill down. I just understood what you said that way. If I was wrong I'm sorry, don't need to feel outraged.

Can you give us a reason for that heavy criticism? Or are you just trolling/flaming/thread crapping here?

I don't put word's in people mouths. A responsable lawyer would never do that. ;) I just made an interpretation of the following posts, I didn't put anything in your mouth, it's all there: I just agreed with you both: Characters do get an defensive edge in combat with experience/training...

I've seen that before. Where could that be? Hmmm Diablo2!!! I like it! :D

Unless that defense bonus per level stacks with armor bonus, it would make armor useless in the game, like in SWSE. But as you said, characters already gain a defensive bonus each level, called Hit Points.

Santa Claus just told me 4E will be great. I'd rather trust him. :]

No. Character will probably have an edge in ecounters. They got the items as rewards from adventuring, a hard earned reward. So they now deserve to have a little edge in combats, depending on the monsters they are fighting, the place, the classes in party, there are so many elements... What you...

There is a BIG difference between a fighter needing a Full Plate Mail +5 to be able to face an encounter, and a fighter needing a Full Plate Mail to handle himself in combat. Your idea already exists in SWSE. Level 10 charatcers don't need armour anymore. But that's Star Wars. Using lots of...

Don't give them ideas ;) And don't forget: Characters start at level 20, leveling down at every -1000 xp.

If the justification happens to be just Game Balance, I'll be fully satisfied.

Exactly But we are talking about 4E. That won't happen in 4E. In 3E that was true, and was called magic items depedency, or christmas tree effects. They said 4E will be less focused on magic items, so I believe that won't happen anymore, a level 10 character will be able to face a level 10...

I think we can deduce that spell components are gone, since staffs are two handed weapons and the wizard won't have any free hand to handle any spell components. ;) I DO hope they keep spell components, but turn them into spell caralysts, just like those in Arcana Evolved. They are spell...

I think there is no dependency. It's not the real magic items dependency, where characters need an average amount of wealth in magic items to be good enough to face the challenges. Wizards wont' be more dependent on those Implements more than fighters will be on magic weapons in 4E. If wizards...

Probably thoses crystal that psionics use (sorry, I don't know much about psionics) will be turned into Implements, just like Orbs, tomes, staff and wands for wizards. I think the core mechanic for using their powers will be the same 4E wizards will use to cast spells. Probably the recharge...

Taking away magic items doesn't make a setting to be "low magic" setting. It becomes a crappy "high magic" setting where characters have much trouble in fighting the monsters that were supposed to fight easily if they had magic items. Wizards, clerics and druids are still there casting lots of...

Did anyone else think the Arcane Strike, Power Words and Spells will be the Wizard's "at will" "per encounter" and "per day" powers respectively?

There is no official info about the role of the druid, only speculation. So speculating the druid is not a leader is not being ill-informed. I think it was rude. You simple abruptly entered the thread saying that if we are not able to read every single word about 4E relesead and don't have the...

Maybe people just don't have all the spare time you seem to have to read every single word spoken about 4E. IF you are so tired go take a nap, or just don't read posts you believe are wrong or are irrelevant. If you keep readin threads and posts you consider to be a waste of time, than don't...
