Yes, there will be a character creator. The level of stupidity it would take for that not to happen is inconceivable. As much as some people on this board would have you believe, these are not the same bumbling knuckleheads that launched 4e. Will it be an iOS/Android/W8 app or a web app...

If this means you have a group, a class, and a subclass... then I HATE this. I see zero reason to add another layer of complexity just for semantics. If this means you have just a group, and a class...then this is ok. Still silly, but at least it seems to satisfy those that could not get...

I really don’t get the deal with everyone and the Mage class. Sure I can see calling it Magic-User but the rest of the arguments just sound hollow to me. Mage = a person poorly trained in arms and armor, who is well versed in the arcane arts, and has low hit points. All the subclasses...

My guess is they are going to make two versions of D&D. "basic" and "advanced". Basic is going to have 4 classes, Fighter, Mage, Cleric, & Rogue. Each of those will have a few progressions trees that go up to 10th level with a clean and simple DM manual. Those trees might point towards other...

Yep. You should only have one Belt of Storm Giant Strength in your multiverse. And only 2 or 3 Belts of Fire/Cloud Giant Strength.

I could not agree with this more. It is exactly what I want.

Dragonlance will be done as a board/war game of some kind. WoTC wants to push new mechanics, so if they did Greyhawk there would be “something” new about it. It needs a shtick… if it doesn’t have one they would just be reprinting old books. Maybe that would be how they would introduce the...

I really think he is just using that as an example in a void. Maybe there would be Skill feats and Combat feats that you get at different levels. Odd for one even for another. That way if you were a super combat heavy group and did not care about skills you could just drop that part. He is...

Was not into his description of a simple stat based skill system until this article. After he showed the 3 levels of complexity I absolutely love it. I want a simple skill system I can make as complicated as I want, as a DM. I would be happy to have a well play tested version of that as the...

well poo. at least i was not crazy. thanks : )

Is there away to make a INT based rogue? Looking for a feat that lets them substitute INT for DEX in melee… there any way to do that?

This is where you just don’t get it, and you probably never will. We do not live in a Post Scarcity world like you seem to think. Mearls is not Capt Pacard, no matter how much he might want to be. He cannot just walk over to a matter replicator and create food from stardust to give to his...

I have never had any desire to run an epic game in 20 years. Still don’t. But people like you need better support.

If it was me: Copper: Character builder + ability to join a VTT game. $35/year Silver: CB + join VTT + compendium + magazines. $70/year Gold: CB + Comp + mags + full VTT + other Adventure tools. $105/year Why? Every single person that plays D&D 4e will want copper. Make it low priced (list...

THis was not listed in the bugs they fixed but they did fix it for my fighter. "Features that let you replace one element with another, such as retraining and multiclass power swap feats, do not work correctly in some cases." So. Damn. Happy.

Did not fix the one bug I wanted fixed: "Features that let you replace one element with another, such as retraining and multiclass power swap feats, do not work correctly in some cases." /sigh

What does that even mean? I am a 100% sure that D&D ‘sales numbers’ will drop, because it won’t be traditionally publishing 2 to 3 books ever month ever again. They are moving to an online format that will make the idea of ‘sales numbers’ immaterial. They will only keep Essentials in the...

I like them. I wont buy them. If the players bring them I will use them while I DM.

I still seem to be "some cases" /cry

They did. You just did not notice. Today (12/20/2010) the version number is 1.6.0. Last week it was 1.5.5. I am assuming tomorrow the version will be higher again.
