Just thinking - how does the fluff of the races change if one assumes that the above stated "class-synergy" reflects on the race as well? Dragonborn come across as definite "societal leaders", embracing different ways of the Dragon.

I believe it was presented in DM379 for the first time.

Are the final scans cleaned up digitally? We might be looking to expand our art for Psionics Unleashed and a few B/W pictures would do very well - if they are cleaned up well.

Hiya! Nice to see some responses to all of this. Now since I've been DMing 4th Edition since it was released, I am very well versed in understanding how the Abilities aren't everything and how some race/class combinations can still be effective, especially adding in how certain feats interact...

The Dragon Magazine races are quite easy to summarize. Shadar-Kai: Like the Eladrin, only Wizards fit them. Gnoll: Here are an interesting addition, only jelling really well with the Bleak Disciple type of Assassins. Revenants: Same as the Gnolls, one the Bleak Disciple Assassin really fits the...

So, what do we have so far? A powerful, but corrupt, Empire. Modelled on the Roman Empire, one can see it stretching far, perhaps too far. Internal political squabbles and power plays undermine its true potential, being the playground for the tieflings and shardminds. They embrace the Arcane as...

Time to look at the races released in the Setting Books (Genasi, Drow, Khalashtar, Changelings, Warforged). Changelings have dual stats too, and are thus separately presented for each combo. Changeling (Cha, Dex) - Rogues (Artful), Sorcerer (Storm/Chaos Magic), Assassin (Night Stalker) - quite...

Summarizing the PHBs - it seems as if one can see a distinct conflict between two groups materializing. In my mind, one is represented by the Overlords, led by the Tieflings, whom are lords and tyrants, representing perhaps a perverse combination of the Court of Winter (stasis) and the Great...

Lets continue with the PHB3 races, before we go into the wild places. These races carry with them variables, which makes them a little more complex to analyze. Each race will therefore get a "dual entry". Wilden (Wis, Con) - Battleminds (Resilient), Druids (Preservers), Shaman (Bear), Invoker...

Continuing with the PHB2 races, what do we find here then? Razorclaw Shifters: Monks (Centered), Avengers (Pursuit), Druid (Predator), Seekers (Bloodbond) - just like the elves. Gnomes: Warlock (Fey, Dark), Bard (Cunning), Psion (Telepathic) - just like the Tieflings. Deva: Psion (Telekinetic)...

So, I've been thinking about a few things about how Class and Race synergize and what this "says" about a setting. Assuming that a combination of Ability Boost and Class Synergy means that one can assume a greater number of these people, what does this tell us about the "potential setting"...

If you ask me, it would be far more probable that Wizards does a MtG-incorporation into D&D. There are a myriad of worlds and/or settings tied to Magic, and by using that as a basis they have most of the work already done, from flavour to art and concepts, only needing the crunchy rules material...

If anything, I would have the Kingdom be an almost mythical place, far away. It is only "felt" in the form of its order of Knights who hunt down fleeing criminals or do strange missions for their King. These Knights can sometimes exchange their might for servitude, taking young boys and girls...

Just wanted to add that we are now doing Art Previews for the upcoming book, so head on over to our site and see some of the amazing art we are having for this book! :D

I would have to agree with having a "PDF" category and a "Print" category. If a single publisher wants to submit into both, then awesome, if they can't do one or the other, then it's also fine. But right now it means "punishing" small outfits because printing and sending in 7+ physical books...

100-200$ and if payment is available to be split up could definately be interesting, considering that we've had good co-operations before. 300$ is a little steep as Morrus said for unspecific images.

An idea, if going for durability, is to take a longsword and Weapon Proficiency: Spiked Shield. That gives you +1 to AC/Reflex, a 2nd weapon that fits in the light blade area and you still enhance your defensive abilities AND get the benefit of two-weapon defense. If I was building it, and...

Well, the Others seem to be going "out of the picture" with Claire and War-Locke getting into the Temple. By all signs, the Others seem to be very much the "followers" of Jacob, his personal retinue, or bodyguards. I think it was established in the Season 4 finale, with Jacob and Evil dude...

Well, that depends on whether or not a Skill Power has to replace a Utility power or if it is in addition to?

Over the past two years (give or take a month or two), Paizo has gone from a former magazine-publisher and adventure writer, to creating their own roleplaying game (Pathfinder), launching "their own" line of miniatures (in conjunction with Reaper) and now they are launching a line of novels. Is...
