One thing that they may do (and maybe it has been mentioned and I just missed it) is allow you to pick a racial feat at character creation free of charge. That seems logical to me, as in that way EVERY PC will exemplify at least one aspect that their race is known for. (This dwarf may be good...

Both crunchy and patriotic!

Thanks Falling! I completely missed that article, so that removes my only real complaint with the new multi-classing system. And I didnt mean to imply that it would be initially hard to get a 13 ability score in a couple of areas at character creation, just that the system would require some...

On the plus side, though, the feat re-training option will allow said player to pretty painlessly change his mind in the future, when he has the knowledge to determine what would be more effective. My main argument, however, against the statement that 4E multi-classing requires very little...

Not to mention the fact that you could only learn the teleportatin' spell if you live in the deep south.

Can you point me to an anime where the art style even closely resembles this? I've been an anime fan for all of my adult life, and I do not see the resemblance whatsoever.

Well I guess... I mean this guy sounds legit right?

I read somewhere that the DMG will strongly suggest that all PC's be of the same level... even to the point of granting a PC full experience if they happen to miss a session. Take that for what you will.

I'm not sure I understand the issue here. Perhaps it is because I've never owned a Mac and do not understand the limitations but.... you're saying that WoTC is shutting you out because they dont support the browser you personally prefer, while in the same post stating that you can easily pull up...

The problem that I have with any class that is designed to be less apt at their particular role with a trade-off of versatility is that for the most part, enemy npcs are designed around the most effective party members. If a low defense monster would get absolutely destroyed by the barbarian...

Perhaps I'm wrong, but I had taken the "builds" to be more along the lines of suggestions for how to assign powers and attributes as opposed to actual character choices that defined your abilities and advancement. For instance, you could be a rogue with high Dex and Str (matching the brawny...

Although now Jan Brady's "Martial Marshal Marsha!" line actually makes sense. That Brady Bunch... I always knew they were ahead of their time...

Well I'm sure the fact that A.) There is a GSL out and B.) Publishers wont have to buy-in to it is good news for those that enjoy buying third party products. Im curious to see just what exactly it allows publishers to do with 4E and what other restrictions may be in place, but its good to see...

I know one house rule I'm considering is allowing a player spend an action point for a chance at recharging a power. They would roll a D6, and on rolling a 6 they could recharge a Daily power, on a 4+ they could recharge an encounter power. It adds a little variation from the "can only do this...

Ok, either I misread that or I really need to do more research on MMOs. ;)

Wow, I just want to chime in with my condolences for the train-wreck of an experience you had. If my friends did the same thing to me I would be more than a bit upset, as I'd much rather them tell me up front that they are not going to give it a fair chance rather than let me waste hours of...

This is along my lines of thinking, that in fact the majority of an army is made up of minions. They're basically the frontlines that you send into the meat-grinder. Those that learn how to survive long enough will eventually rise up in the ranks and be given the command of squads, etc. In fact...

Im basically going with the idea that we all start out as minions, and those with the most skill, natural ability, or plain old luck will go on to be something more. :) If thats not how things are setup, then it will be one of my first 4E Houserules. Though I could be swayed for something...

However, do we have any evidence to suggest that you will ever come across a minion of various levels for one race? My assumption would be that all human minions are level 1. For them to go beyond that, they would no longer be a "minion" any more as they have reached that threshold where they...

I'm not sure I understand where you are coming from. You do not believe that it is logical that a commoner might be trained well enough to hit someone with a club, but then be unable to take a sword wound without being completely out of the fight? If anything, that makes *more* logical sense...
