-1 for making it up. Japanese doesn't have a plural conjugation, so it's either ninja (Japanese style) or ninjas (English style). Ninjae is pretentious and goofy sounding.

Actually, we know it might be a primary stat for Fighters from the Design & Development article on Classes. When two players are discussing what kind of Fighters they've built, one mentions that he thought about going with high Con and wielding a hammer. It's strongly suggested from the...

Int is confirmed as being important for the Warlord, but none of the other stats are -- you should probably mention that. Also, Int is confirmed as *not* being important to Fighters in the exact same blog entry (which I quoted earlier). Also, we have no indication that Int is important to...

I doubt that Int is going to let you pick non-class skills. (I'll bet that requires a feat.) It might be interesting if it did, but that swings Int back towards being *too* useful. But dump stats are inevitable for exactly the reason malraux mentions. I think that every class in the game is...

If you have more information on this, I'd love to hear it, but the last word I had heard on Fighters and Intelligence was from Rich Baker's blog: Granted, this post is 4 months old, and things may have changed, but I haven't heard a single thing that suggests that they have.

By now, I'm sure everyone has seen the new Rogue preview. The thing that jumped out me the most is the utter irrelevance of Intelligence to the new Rogue. The following two blocks make it clear: Note two important things from the block above: 1. You don't gain bonus skills for a high...

I think you have to see this in its most degenerate form to understand. I've seen one player take over an entire campaign and make it all about him thanks to unbalanced chracter design. It got so bad that the other PCs didn't even bother fighting at all when bad guys came after them -- the...

I second this post. Please quit trying to bait people into violating their NDA. It's just not nice. :D Oh, sure there will be a lot of overlap for magical controllers. Most will be able to do direct damage; most will be able to muck with the terrain; most will be able to directly affect the...

Hexes can create serious problems with large creatures and facing. If a creature is large enough to take up a space in between 3 & 7 hexes, what shape is its space, and how does that shape avoid facing issues? (This is even more stark when trying to figure out what's between 7 & 19 hexes.)...

You'll have to forgive the Fighter and Wizard for not having designed the dungeon their in to make sure that all entrances to room are in the corner instead of in the middle of the walls. Alternately, it's all their fault for the DM insisting on lining up square rooms on the grid instead of...

Don't neglect the Divine Mind from the Complete Psionic. Mid-to-high level Divine Minds can project multiple auras without feats, and many of their auras are quite useful. (Creation can be kind of sick in an all-Warforged party.)

I would not recommend doing both this and requiring them to have a dual-stat casting dependency. Nerfing the spells a spontaneous caster gets from 6 to 4 and tacking on a dual-stat dependency seems like overkill, especially in light of all the neat and cool bonus powers that a Spirit Shaman...
