I prefer to play games where cross-class skills are removed. We have done it at high level, and low level, and it always just works. I have found that its your skill points/level and your prime ability scores that really separates the classes. Take say the Stealthy Fighter vs. the Stealthy...

WotC is trying to further promote the Humans will hit anything paradigm. Soon we will have Half-Gith, Half-Dragonborn, and Half-Halflings. Somewhere, someone in a focus group said "Nope, I wouldn't hit that". and WotC order new concept art for the Githyanki. Just wait until you see the new...

One aspect that really bothered me about many of the new Base classes in 3e was they had their own spell list instead of using an existing one. So if I wanted to play a Duskblade, I was limited* to the spell list printed in PHB2. Future books would contain new spells for Sorc/Wiz, but would...

The good news is that any DM can house rule this out. However, not all DMs are going to remove this utterly stupid restriction. So now whenever I want to be a PC, I have to beg the DM to let my level 9 character craft a Ring of detect magic, or other ring, belt, boots or questionable power...

You mean you don't make up the DCs for everything on the fly? I guess I have been cheating as a DM for years, and no one has noticed. :-P

For the Next Race, The Illithid (Mind Flayer) will breed with humans, and we will have... The Decapodians! ... which as we all know, have boobs.

11) Clerics are useless because everyone can heal themselves. 12) The Rogue can do everything the wizard can do. Why play a wizard?

Some warforged are crafted to appear and sound feminine. And in those cases they are given armor plates that give the viewer the idea of breasts, but they are quite flat by human standards (And practically non-existent by Fantasy art standards). I'm against Dragonborn women having breasts...

The SRD is really what caused the my group to switch from 3.0 to 3.5, and will probably help us switch to 4e (assuming we will). Not having an SRD would probably really hurt adoption.

There is only one* thing that spell components (with a value < 5g) are good for that I know of: Role Playing situations where the caster has been separated from his pouch for whatever reason. Then, when the Sorcerer is locked in the City Jail, he can turn to the rogue and say "give me that bit...

I think Monte is right, 4e to 3e is very different from 2e to 3e. There is FAR, FAR more dissention over switching to 4e now than people objecting to 3e. However, it is probably going to be easier to get people to switch to 4e because active players are at least paying attention to new releases...

I disagree with using Drizzt alone on the cover. Since this is a role playing game, you want to encourage players to create their own unique character, and not one molded after the iconic NPCs. He represents an exception to the general rule that drow are evil. Whatever character that is on...

With Science! as a power source, I now have a new avenue to introduce the Gnome Artificer. It would give the Gnomes flavor outside of "The other short people"

Can someone please explain to me the need to rewrite the backstory on the old tried and true races anyway? What is inherently broken with Tieflings and Halflings, etc? Its just backstory, which really does not have much gameplay impact. I had grown kind of partial to the original description...

I tend to play the same archetype every time, so... Human Swordmage I might just wait for it to be released before I switch to 4e... either that or write my own swordmage class based on the upcoming book of the same name and the 3e Swiftblade PrC.

*Smiling Trugluk, wielding a wand the size of a baseball bat* Buy Fae Dust. The safe and natural way to enhance you wand.

There will certainly be other heroes, and always room for more heroes in FR. But if you were to look at the FR books outside of an RPG context, they have gotten pretty stale. The same heroes keep coming back again and again to save the day. The writers need to retire some characters and start...

Pun-Pun. He comes down from his lofty seat atop mount olympus and smites evil whenever there are too few good-aligned PCs to save the day. Conversely, following his true neutral alignment, he also creates trouble when the dark forces of Faerun are not pulling their weight. It is Pun-Pun who is...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! My seat as king of the Lurkers has been overthrown! Now to go crawl back under a rock for another 5 years...

If they do not need to have character animations, I don't expect WotC to have too much trouble coming up with a character designer that have a lot of flexibility with millions of combinations for cloths, armor, hats, swords etc. Comparing the character designer to games like City of Heroes and...
