The thing is that it's not an extra power. It replaces one of your normal class encounter powers.

I guess until we see the actual rules (which from teh develeoper's saying have changed quite a bit since those characters were made) we won't know if the playtest warlock half-elf's ray of frost was possible only because he was an half-elf or because of the new multiclass rules. Or both. Maybe...

Rodney Thompson stated that it's a Wizard multiclass power in the above link.

The text I quoted is from the link I posted. It's posted by Gamescribe (Rodney Thompson) Summary here by FabioMilitoPagliara : http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=222311

Found one more example of the new "multiclassing" that tends to solidify my thoughts on how it works : http://jediwiker.livejournal.com/41107.html So the playtest Warlock everybody has seen is multiclassed and that'S why he had ray of frost. And the way it works is that he has a Wizard's...

The latter edit : could be wrong, but the very little info we have all points to that. That's why I think there no multiclassing (as in you don't take a lvl of another class ever), but there is "something else" that "mimics" it. Exemple : Absolutly no developper post mentions taking a lvl of...

The first thing to remember is that multiclassing doesn't exist in 4e. There will be no Fighter/Wizard or Wizard/fighters There will be Fighters buying wizard powers and Wizard buying Fighter powers, though. Probably with feats. Feat : Part-time Wizard (edited) Description : Every time you...

3E's popularity had everything to do with the simpler and more consistent D20 rules (compared to 1e/2e's many subsystems) than the fact it seems to have rules for almost everything (especially after 3.5). So it was the simpler core mechanic (D20) that attracted ppl to 3E, not the dozens of...

It's not a gamble at all to think way more ppl will prefer a fun action n magic game to an awkward magic n simulation game. Not even close to being a gamble.

No.

Links to .exe files are a no for me, sorry! (even if hosted on wizards.com)

I've gotten used to that over the years. That's why I don't get attached to ppl on forums (any forums) anymore. But back to pre-3E days, yea, in general on the net it felt pretty much like it does now, except on Eric's forums, hehe. And though the OGL will make 3.x last a while longer than 2e...

Now you just made me nostalgic. I remember checking your site month n months n month before 3E ever came out, hehe, so I could get information about it. Not that I ever posted very often in there or the old ENWorld boards anyway, but a great way to get info on the new version. I am usually a bit...

Yes to the OP's question before the last. Ppl like to complain. That will go away soon enough. (Does any significant amount of ppl still really play 2nd edition as a comparison?)

Nobody wants to play pure narrativism games. Some might try once or twice then leave it aside. The good stuf comes from sprinkling it at leasure (or not) into your gamist or sim games, not playing that style of "gaming" by itself. Nobody wants to play pure gamist in RPGs either. That would be...

Skills and the class columns of dots : I think these wont be necessary in 4E (at least not the 2nd or 3rd column) because multi-class wont work like before. You will not see a Fighter3/Wizard3/Druid3 with separate set of class skills, but from what we could read we will see a "Fighter who...

I think the poll is very biaised, the way the warrior is singled out.

It just downloaded in my itunes podcast subscription

The exception based rules fix that. Specific rules or exceptions win over the general rules so the Dragons' immediate action breath when bloodied overrules the general immediate action ruling.

It is flavor text not an hard rule. But even then, until we get the 4E MM, there is no telling if that particular flavor text has been changed. I've know in my 22 years of playing tons of DMs that do not follow that "default flavor" in order to build more interesting skeletons because the...
