That's...umm...hrm, isn't pretty much identical to the Ranger's careful shot (melee instead of range of course)? I do agree that that seems like a less desirable ability than what I've seen/heard about the other powers. Although, from what I've heard attack bonuses are seemingly rare, but a +2...

I've followed the various threads giving snippets fairly closely, so apologies if this was answered before, but I haven't seen it mentioned before. Anyway, I've seen on various character builds for fighters cleave and either reaving strike or tide of iron, but no mention of the fourth fighter...

Ah my bad about Heroquest, and thanks for the clarification. I just looked it up on wikipedia and it came up with the board game version. When it comes to d20 I'm pretty familiar with it and its offshoots, and while I love many of the systems under (especially M&M) the fact the fact that combat...

Thanks for both of your replies. I suppose I should have been a little more explicit in that I was looking for a pen & paper RPG. After looking up Dogs in the Vineyard, it looks like an interesting game, but I was just curious Glass, if you happened to know how easy it might be to convert the...

I have a pretty simple question (I think), and I figured somebody here might have the answer. Is there any RPG (pen & paper) out there that has, what I like to call, a Unified Conflict Resolution System (tm)? By this I mean a game where everything is handled in (roughly) the same manner, from...

I have to say, as much as I disliked Vancian casting as a whole, I rather like that wizards still have a spell book that they can fill up. Although, it does lead me to wonder what other controllers might get in place of a spellbook like system, because to me at least, the ability to switch out...

Sorry if this has been mentioned or covered in another thread, but did anyone else notice that healing surges seem to increase as you level up as well? After everything I had heard previously, I was under the impression that healing surges were somewhat set at the 1st level and only changed in...

EDIT: Ehh nevermind, ninja'd...

I suppose one could also make the "day" shorter or longer with relative ease by reducing or increasing the number of healing surges across the board. I will admit that I will still have to see it in action to see if its default setting is right for the group I play in. As for the whole...

I'm honestly really happy with the healing surge mechanic. One concern I had about at-will/unlimited healing (in general, not just for 4E) was that except for daily powers and such, there would be no incentive for players to stop for the most part. One thought I had was a "healing threshold"...

That certainly is a lot of interesting information to go through. From what I could read of Eldritch Blast, I can already see some interesting synergy between it and (possibly) some archery/ranged powers (most likely from the ranger). Heck, that could allow people to play the more nature...

I liked a lot of what was said, the only thing I didn't really like was the fact that the swordmage is first appearing in the FR Player's Guide (unless I misread that somehow). Although I suppose this won't be the first time I've bought a D&D book for one specific thing, even if I had no use for...

I have to say that I do like a lot of what I'm seeing, but like others, I'm seeing more restrictions in places I wasn't expecting/wanting. I mostly would have liked to see the rogue specialize in "light weapons" rather than having a majority of the powers (shown to us at least) and sneak attack...

Hmm, I wouldn't personally mind if they made a 'dire' template that would basically turned any beast-like creature of animal intelligence into a dire version of such and possibly make it elite. This, as the others, is only a guess on my part, and while I would like to see a unified template for...

Like a lot of the others, I'm finding that I might actually want to play each and every class, but invariably my favorite archetype always wins out, which happens to be the warrior-mage type. Since I know that the swordmage is coming out later, my first character will most likely be an...

In regards to using Initiative to avoid a trap is an example of being able to use a variety of skills to defeat a trap that seems to have been hinted at in the traps article. In general I'm seeing this as possibly saying characters might get a sort of "double-layered" defense against traps...

This I have to say would be one thing I'd look forward to. As one person said, I'd want it to cover more than just modern stuff though. Except I'd want it to be able to cover nearly everything. Something like True 20, but based off of what we're seeing for 4E. Hopefully it would be able to cover...

No offense taken, and I do see your point. Though I will mention I kind of felt I never made any claims that this was a new class, but a variant...which I stated it was in the title of the thread. Anyway, maybe it will help if I list out the things I'd like people's opinions on. -What do you...

Hey all, just joined and thought I'd try posting a class idea I had. I already tried putting this up over on the Wizard's boards, but alas none of my creations ever seem to get much attention. Anyway, I thought I'd try my luck here and see if I could get some feedback to help smooth out the...
