No it still is. Just it's a kinder more PC D&D. Maybe they should replace BAB with BDB (basic diplomacy bonus). Does this mean orcs should be renamed? Orc is a name given to them by men (humans). Maybe they should be called by what they call themselves and what they call themselves in their...

There is a difference between real world and fantasy world.

If it were a world with no orcs and drow or elves similar to Melnibone were casted as the bad guys. I'd have no troubles torching them down. But orcs for fantasy aren't just some generic bad guy. They are the common thug bad guy. To homebrew a change is one thing. To make it the design you base...

Well said. I remember when I was a kid I saw an orc miniature. Bought it. And created an orc character. My DM was so against it at first. I played Og the orc mostly as comedy relief (like Freddy Kruger character from the show V was like). My DM ended up liking him. Near the end of that...

He was good. He failed his will save against the ring and just tried to take it. After the ring was away from him. He was all sorry. Sacrificed his life for the other hobbits.

Not even close. 1e said that player's half-orcs are among the 10% that look and acted human enough to fit into society. The rest are as wicked and ugly and cruel as an evil savage orc.

Half-orcs! Orcs are the baddies. Fantasy works best when its black and white, not with shades of grey. Let those who want orcs to house rules it. I'd like half-orcs background go more back to its 1e version. Doubt that will happen from what I've read of the flavor so far, and considering who a...

Names (or as WotC would call it: Alphabetical tags of the Green Unicorn order I just wish they won't fool around with names, even if it made sense. Not that always doing this was a bad thing. I like wizard more than magic-user. Barbarian stays barbarian, not berserker. Cleric, not Priest...

I still like Marshal the best.

I hope it is not orc! Nor goliaths (what a dumb race). I think half-orc will be in the MM but won't be in the PHB till PHB2, when I suspect barbarian will appear.

Classes are more arch-type than a path to gain "super powers". 1e's half-orc (I don't want to see orcs and goblinoids being pushed more than they have as PC races). Written in mind that 95% of those who will buy and play it are guys, interested in Euro myths and legends (let a 3rd party...

Not your wants or wishes, but predictions. No more than three. No need to give a long background to your predictions too. Mine: 1) Myth Drannor will be the new Waterdeep. The Realms' great city and seat of power to the elves. Shadowdale is under its protection. 2) Ruins of Waterdeep. The city...

I'd like to see Mask get a better deal. But I'm glad Mystra is gone. Any story of her return or victory is not for me! I don't understand why some people are so obsessed with Lathander becoming Aumanator? Cyric has become OK to me. As the lord of murder and deception, I'd have him secretly...

Expanded universe I always felt with Greyhawk they should had done 2 things with it. First, roll it back to its basics, the Gygax version. And make that Open Game for 3rd parties. Second, have a WoTC continuity of Greyhawk (the 2e stuff). 3rd parties could make their own version of Greyhawk...

Assassin, necromancer or summoner, barbarian, marshal (if warlord isn't one just renamed), cavalier

Warlock works fine.

No, no! Crom is "the" barbarian deity. And so is the riddle of steel.

The names just get worst by the editions. We get Limbo in 1e, for example. It's a chaotic realm ruled by Slaads, a strange planar monster. 2e decides it's not PC enough so renames it. The realm of Johnson Avenue! Slaads are still there but now they're given a detailed background. Turns out...

I say "go for it!" with the changes. I'm sure I won't like them all. If orcs become a regular race thanks to Orc King. That's the biggest worry I have. 2e changes I didn't like. But kept playing FR. 3e's changes were hit and miss. Some I really didn't like (no point going into details when not...

I was just going to ask what's up with the aasimar, if he'll be in the PHB. I guess not.
