But the 4E power system is kinda Vancian, except you not only have per day spells, but per encounter and per round.

Sometimes magic can "fail", even in D&D. It can be more effective than ordinary weapons, but it can make its blunders now and then. If magic is always reliable and predictable, it becomes less magical, IMO.

Giving the 1st level M-U one Magic Missile per day is good start. Magic starts to feel less magical when it can be used too often, like an bow.

Trained skills: roll 1, 2 or 3 on a d6 Untrained skills, roll 1 on a d6 GM gives +1 or -1 depending on the difficulty of a particular task.

A wise mage always carry a set of scrolls for every occasion.;) ------ Vancian yes! ALl editions had Vancian Magic, it isn't D&D without it.

Mike and Monte released the Book of Iron Might a long time ago, and in my opinion it is the best supplement for the fighter class so far. I hope they can put in 5e some of the ideas from that book. I don't like powers and/or feats that give certain "maneuvers" to the fighter because I believe it...

Not if the players believe and trust the DM.

DMing is also a type of illusionism. If you run a railroad adventure, but give to the players the illusion of choice, that it's a sandbox and they can do whatever they want, and they buy it, than you're golden. The best DM I played with were also good liers.

But it is. I remember Mearls saying (or some other designer back then) that they put some kids that never played RPGs in a room with 3.5 books so they could play D&D. They took like 4 hours learning the rules in order to play it, IIRC. So one of the design goals for DD4 was to make it easier for...

Hundreds of thousands, let's say 500,000. A poster suggested some groups have only 1 or 2 PHBs, so let's say all groups buy only 1 PHB. Let's say all groups have the good number of 6 people. (1 dm, 5 players) That's 3 million 4e players, out of 6 million D&D players, with very very optimistic...

What's the point in sueing a guy from the Phillippines?

huh? The people actually suffering the consequences are those who legally buy the PDFs. The harder is for the pirate to put on an ilegal PDF, the more prestige he gets when he does it. 4E PDFs now gained an extra 100 prestige pts per book.

2E books were available even before 3E.

Well done indeed. Unfotunately they pissed off all the 4 guys who paid for the PDF yesterday.:p

I honestly assume it wasn't. link

What if I download a pirate PDF for the sakes of taking a look to see if it's worth a buy, pretty much like paging a book in the local store? What if I download a pirate PDF I know i'd never ever be able to buy legally? (in PDF or the real book) Just asking.

Are you serious? Gleemax. DDI. The kitchen table in your PC thing.

Hell is repetition.
