#1) I'm surprised they did not go Storm and Blood... but I don't think it's too much of a problem. #2) Laptops are bad for some groups, and for others they're okay. I think item powers will need a lot of writing or an extra sheet of paper or something. #3) I think minions are a sweet idea, but...

Thank you for explaining. It might make it more complicated. I would prefer the option of customization, but I'll be pretty happy with however it turns out. I agree that they will have powers for taking advantage of their companion. But, I think it will function more like the figurines because...

I'm not sure if I understand where your predictions come from... Why would Battlerager Vigor be two abilities that replace three? I could see it replacing weapon talent and Combat Superiority, but also taking out combat challenge seems a bit much. I think the Beast interaction will function like...

Thank you for the info. It is greatly appreciated.

Hahaha... okay, I would say that such an example is not an actual interpretation of the text, because it is not based in anything that is there. I am assuming (bad call, I know) that the interpretations being discussed come from something in the text. Umm... The film alluded to is widely...

So... posted this in the General martial power thread... How I think Ragevigor'll work. Minion hits for 2. Temp HP = 4. Minion hits for 2. 4 - 2 = 2. Fighter gains Temp HP = 4 replacing the old temp HP. So, Temp HP = 4. Basically, after being hit, the fighter has DR:Con Mod. Also, +Dmg bonus if...

Pfft... those are the parts you're supposed to skip!;) On topic, I look forward to the Power Books' side bars. One of the things I told a friend a little while ago about the 4e books is that they're terrible reads, but good at the table. Also, I think they allow a really fun game.

I don't have the books, but it seems like a reasonable logic leap. I'm never gonna' run the little guys due to their craziness... so using that as reference makes sense for house ruling the drakes.

Gah! ...good call, though. Somehow my mind just sort of ignored that whole assumption.

This and the Compendium updates seem to indicate what we are going to see, classwise. So, what are first impressions based on the features? That Ruthless Ruffian sounds like it might take care of the wanted thuggish knee-breaking rouge. I want to see what the Rattling keyword means in play...

Hmm... interesting topic. D&D is not as readable as WoD, IMO. However, 3.5 and 4e are a different type of readable. 4e books are only fun if I think about how the rules I am reading transition into narratives and character interactions. AV, I drooled through. I think I got most of it, but I'm...

I could seriously go for that right now... Feta isn't my cheese of choice, but I wouldn't turn that sandwich down. ...I bet with the right resources I could make you a killer sandwich. I say yes. I had a DM whose rule was (without cursing this'll be hard to explain)... "I already have the game...

I gotta' admit, I was not expecting Lit theory and Crazy Ivans... but it's all good. So... here's another thought (just for fun, mostly to let el-rem be more lazy. 'Cause distractions from Masters programs is... needed) which sort of backs up his point of view, but from a different school of...

Thankye, Verys. You're a gentleman and a scholar as always. Cadfan's versatile fighter is pretty rad. Check it out. So... hoping that a rogue build that uses INT and/or dirty fighting is nifty. (I wonder if WotC watches threads like this one? I imagine they have things to do like playtest and...

Should Grab Hold require a free hand? Look into stuff about German longsword fencing for inspiration. I think it'd be cool with a lore aspect along the lines of a Tiefling light armor grapple style that was used in close combat. Edit: something along the lines of Liechtenauer use where it's a...

Cool. That's gotta' be rewarding. It's not how I'd run a game - but I can see the benefits of it and respect that decision. Also, I love high dex Fighter/Rogues. Nasty in all the right ways. In retrospect, my other character was a Rogue/Cleric. So, my two characters who I consider 'main' - as...

So, third stat builds? Say, an Int build for rogues, or a Wis build for Warlords? Also, I realized I want a MC feat for classes to count as two-blade or archery for ranger paths. I liked that article. The 20th level power is crazy for a party with rogues and MC rogues. Granted, I only skimmed...

Also, multiclass feats (with exceptions like Ranger - so far) allow one to take a paragon path associated with the MC class. Which doesn't quite help you out right now, but may be useful once Martial Power comes out.

Maybe barbarian is designed as an attractive dip for STR oriented characters of other classes? Agreed. I think Merlin's fix would take care of the problem. I think a mini explanation or side bar about how the feature's use is intended would be useful. I still want somebody to build a few...

Which ones? Any Demon? Or Changeling? ...how attached to these books are you? Games I've played/run... I'll forget some, and anything at cons from back when I went I won't recall. oWoD games Vampire, Dark Ages Vampire, Hunter, and... I thought there was something else? I have a few nWoD books...
