Funny, I've seen the neutral death goddess and her clergy as the people who perform death rites and comfort the grieving relatives. Neutral, but decent people in the big scheme. Mind, this started back when she was called Wee Jas and wasn't nearly as fleashed out in the core books as the Raven...

If I were in that group, and were a lot more confrontative than I am, I'd ask the DM if he had an idea for a cool character. Because drat. Also, is Diablo 13 years old? Man, I feel old now.

30 drow assassins. For those times when orcs just don't cut it.

Even "orc 6hp" had a bunch of stuff that wasn't included in those two words. thac0 and saves, at least. Pretty statblock. It's a very basic creature, of course, but a low-level caster shouldn't take much more space in that format.

Rouse himself said that the site needed a revamp at some point. I agree with the quoted gentlemen - I think we're close to getting a saner wizards.com.

I'd argue that Demonomicon: Yeenoghu and The Ashen Covenant are no-brainers, even if they were free. Those articles were awesome. The other four are also rather soild.

We know the PHB3 has four races, and three are spoiled: Wilden, Githzerai, Minotaur and one other (we know it's not Githyanki). And I don't really expect the fourth to be Thri-Kreen. Psionic classes are in, of course.

Blackmoor already exists. My bet: Original setting or Spelljammer. I don't think the existence of one Spelljammer ship in the Manual of the Planes kills the possibility of that setting. Of course, every new year takes us further from the release of FR and closer to the release of another...

Other: Spelljammer. A potential kitchen sink setting that still doesn't share a niche with FR. One of Dark Sun's big points is the stuff it excludes, and that doesn't quite jive with 4E:s core.

Gah! I knew this was going to be ambiguous. Guess the two elves are a bit of a wild card. Hee! :lol: Makes me want to read the backstory for those two. That works too. You... humanist! Now that some people have voted, I snuck mine in. Human, (wood) elf, dwarf. Halfling is a solid fourth...

So, I've wondered. There has been some banter about the "Mos Eisley Cantina" factor of... most any D&D setting that's not Greyhawk, and there's no secret that some people don't approve of the Tieflings and Dragonborn in 4E. And the response tended to be that gnomes don't really have a niche in...

Nope. God help you if you want to discuss the latest Ars Magica version.

I felt it looked weak too, but my first thought when seeing Past Life was "Whee, Action Surge!" Or whatever the great human feat is. Lost in the Crowd and Underfoot (both halfling feats) look good too and give me visions of a cheerful halfling coming back from death as Mr. Bilbo Grimdark von...

The most well known wildcard in a search is *, which means "search for anything". So if you search for "orc*" (without quote marks) in the compendium you'll get both orcs and Orcus. Now, before the update, a * was always added, so when searching for "orc", it'd actually search for "orc*" and...

Eleven Foot Pole - se Greg Tannahill rip Keep on the Shadowfell a new one, with constructive criticism for a change. Now also with Thunderspire Labyrinth critique. I'd especially recommend it if you're actually going to run those modules. Keep On the Gaming Lands is Mearls' blog, and I always...

If I didn't like 4E (which I do), I'd probably be gearing up for a True20 campaign instead of the 4E one that's percolating in my head. :)

Ju-i-blex! Ju-i-blex! Ju-i-blex! Ju-i-blex! *blorp* Lacking that, Orcus is a semi-undead balor with the skull of a dead god as a weapon and a ghoul with a cloak of mouths as his closest ally. Orcus wins. Demogorgon is a close second, though.

Looks neat, that part I added in red just jumped at me. I know zip about balance so I won't try that (but yes, +half level to hit is nuts in 4E).

Personally, I signed up for Dragon and Dungeon. The other stuff was a nice bonus. I've extended my subscription (runs out november 2010 now), so I'm still getting Dragon and Dungeon at a really nice price. And drat, there are some nice bonuses coming along with the mags. ;)

Crossposted from RPGnet: Sadly, I hear there are no actual girallons in the MM2. It's a mystery.
