I'm very happy to see the morale rules go away. I've always hated that part of the game.

Hehe, I figured as much. That's ok, Clark's already said as much anyway, since he's said you're working on 4E products for Necromancer and that he can't even see what you're working on for him yet. :) This is what really excites me about monster design in 4E. Lots of base guidelines that...

One thing you might want to keep in mind, I'm pretty sure Ari is under NDA and has seen the 4E rules already, so he might just know what he's talking about. Not to mention Rodney's post on the first page of this thread that pretty much says that there are specific baseline guidelines.

I have a feeling that we may be seeing some stuff that needs to be cleaned up in an editing pass. It seems like we have to different passages that aren't quite in sync yet.

Decipher Script is one of the skills called out in Races & Classes as being too narrow and folded into another skill, so I doubt that will be around as a separate skill. Out of the skills in your list, I would probably combine it with Arcana.

NOOoooooo! Francis!

I have to say I like the way the new gnome is depicted. Giving them ties to the fey is going to lead to them having a more solid niche, and should distinguish them from the other races in a way that previous versions don't do as great a job of.

Yes, someone has to take a stand for poor Francis! Where do I sign up?

Nope, the official 4th Edition dice set still comes with 4d6: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=products/dndacc/217430000 So you can rest assured that the Dice Tube sacred cow has not been slain. :)

Wizards' page for Keep on the Shadowfell now has an even newer picture than the one on ENWorld's front page: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=products/dndacc/217187400 It has a different look than even the other adventures. I highly suspect that we are still seeing mockups on a lot of...

I like the idea of giving the players something physical to remind them of their goals. I already hand out index cards to represent magic items and other gear, so I think the addition of quest cards should work quite nicely in my games.

Yeah, I went back and added the article text right before you posted it. :)

Looks like a new Design & Development article is up, detailing the quest system thats going to be in 4th edition: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/drdd/20071121 It sounds like it could end up being a pretty cool way to add some mechanics/guidelines to adventure rewards and making...

I have to say that I really like what has been described in this article. We have a much more manageable number of planes (quick, who can rattle off the the exact names of every single plane in the Great Wheel? I know I can't) but they are varied and open-ended enough to still provide a lot of...

Arcane strikes, power words, and spells. Anyone think those are the names for the at will/per encounter/per day abilities?
