More powerful versions of the at-wills; at 21st, all the at-wills double their damage dice to keep up with the higher level powers.

I have an order placed on the 7th and another on the 8th of February, and I've now gotten the delayed message for both of them (first email came about 3am this morning). I did flirt with the idea of ordering the books individually, but the MM and DMG come out to almost the same cost as the gift...

Probably. I've talked with some guys that I only know online about it, and there was interest. Even if that doesn't pan out, it might still see some use as one of my players might find himself on the road a lot for his job.

So we're down to 3 or fewer editing mistakes? I guess I've always used "numerous" differently.

How many are numerous? I don't recall seeing more than about 4 or 5 instances turn up.

Tieflings = Roman Empire analogue. The Twilight Empire once ruled much of the known world, but crises both internal and external have forced the empire to contract and their legions have been recalled. A sizable number still remain in (Britain analogue), having intermarried with some of the...

Scooper posts only link, but people are expecting the whole article here. So the scooper needs to copy and paste the whole thing, and then stick it in sblock tags so their post isn't huge. Now the scooper just needs to put up the link, and that's all that's expected.

And kudos for this. One problem with 3.5 is that, mechanically, a fight against hobgoblins is going to feel a lot like a fight against orcs or gnolls or kobolds. I was very happy when I read the humanoid stats that have been leaked and saw each creature had something to make them unique.

Well, of course you don't see it there. The rules are in the 1E DMG, page 70. Use a dagger or a hand axe as the second weapon, take a -2 to hit with your primary weapon, -4 with the secondary. Modify these with your dexterity reaction/attacking adjustment (note- this will only reduce the...

But it's still considerably less than the PHB, the MM, and the DMG. For the group that likes D&D but is unsure about 4E, Keep on the Shadowfell is a much better deal for trying out the game.

Per the quick-start rules from D&DXP, roll damage once. Then roll an attack against each target.

Those have been up for a few days now, maybe a week. I also noticed the ad over at BoardGameGeek. So, yes, I'd agree that marketing has started.

I think it's been mentioned that Against the Giants, the next expansion due out in July, will have a couple Dragonborn. Why nothing before? Couldn't tell you, but I'd guess the picks for what was going in Dungeons of Dread had to be finalized before they were sure Dragonborn would be showing up...

It confuses me too. I mean, is White Wolf in the habit of posting excerpts 6 months before one of their books comes out?

Well, to those of us who are buying the core books right away, yeah the pregens won't be too helpful (except maybe for a little more insight during those first level ups). But, there's also Bob Gamer. Bob and his group are open to 4E, but they're not 100% sold on it. And $100 is a lot of money...

After the creature uses that ability, each round roll a d6. On the Rchg # or higher, the ability recharges and can be used again.

The troglodyte reminds me of the frost dwarf from Wardrums. Everything else, I'm more or less happy with. And a lot of them look better up close than in the gallery. I have a beholder! Yay! Never drew one in the previous sets, and wasn't willing to pay what I saw it going for on Ebay. I'm a...

To me, with sneak attack right after the great sword (and not in a Special Ability category or something), it looks like it only applies for the great sword attack. It could also be that this is something in the full rules; perhaps sneak attack is defined as "additional damage on melee or...

For several years, Paizo had the license to publish the Dragon and Dungeon magazines. When Wizards of the Coast declined to renew the license (having decided to bring the magazines back in house and put them online), Paizo started making 3.5 adventures. With the long delay of the GSL (required...
