While I think some magic items are indeed a bit too weak to be worth taking up a slot, I think that one of the best things 4e did was to get rid of stat boosts, so I for one am very glad the Gauntlets of Ogre Power and similar items DO NOT grant a stat boost.

Nice cover, but what kind of primal character could that be? I would think ranger except they are not primal. Maybe it is an alternate build for barbarians that dual wield instead of using a two-handed weapon. I am a little concerned about barbarians becoming even more powerful with this...

The main difficulty I've had is in the lack of variety of sizes for different basic floor tiles. It would be nice to get some 3" by 5", 2" by 3", etc.

I think everyone who said Healer's Lore applies is correct. Upon further examination, it seems that although the Character Builder automatically includes a note about the extra healing with cleric attack powers with the healing keyword, it does not do so for other cleric healing powers, such as...

Does the Cleric's Healer's Lore class feature boost healing for the cleric's Healing Word class feature? I had always assumed so, but I noticed on the Character Builder a note about the bonus healing is automatically added to all the cleric healing attack and utility powers, but not to Healing...

I feel the same way. I statted out one PHB2 character this weekend, for a player that wanted try out a goliath barbarian character for our game on Sunday. It felt like it too a long time because I've gotten spoiled by how easy it is to build a character with the CB. I can't wait to try...

That makes sense to me, in terms of how I read the rules. I don't know whether it is too powerful yet. We just had one player start playing a barbarian today, and everyone was amazed by how much damage he dished out. Not to say it was overpowered, but we were all impressed. As DM, I'll keep...

If a Barbarian with Swift Charge reduces an enemy to 0 hit points with a critical hit, does he or she get two free attacks (one Basic Melee Attack as a result of Rampage, and one Basic Melee Attack as part of a charge from Swift Charge)? If so, can the Barbabrian choose whether to first charge...

I'm glad to hear it may go away. I don't remember this happening with any of my previous 4e books.

I just got my Player's Handbook 2, and skimmed most of the race, class, feat and equipment chapters. The substance of the book looks awesome in terms of balance and flavor. The art is pretty good. But what is up with the production value of the binding and pages? My book looked fine when I...

I didn't realize the CB character sheet viewer had the option to show more than one weapon with each power card. That is very useful. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be fully functional. I just tried it with a third level elf ranger character. With his first level daily power, Hunt's End...

I don't think you can draw a conclusion from the handful of posts on this thread about what most players like. In fact some of the folks that replied did not specify whether they use milestones as written or not. I for one like the milestones rules so far.

Awesome! Thanks, Brian. I already ordered Player's Handbook 2, and have one player who is considering making a new character. I was going to suggest he look over the PH2 character races and classes when I get the new book, but I am finding it so easy to use the Character Builder that I was...

When previous books have come out, did the Character Builder get updated at the end of that same month, or in the subsequent month?

I see some of the new classes allow use of some rituals without using component costs. That seems like a nice way to correct some of the excessive cost of ritual casting (too much money plus too much time together add up to rarely or never used). But I wonder if they'll find a way to retro...

Down with the Goblin Chief After a long hiatus due to intervention by the real world lives of the DM and players, we finally resumed playing about a month ago. Here is a brief entry for the last session before the hiatus. Soon I'll post the journal entry from the first new post-hiatus...

I would love to buy a 4E "Monster Manual" of just NPC "monsters" of a wide variety of PC class/race combos and wide range of levels, but especially Herioc levels. I wish WOTC would produce such a product, or failing that, a third party publisher.

So in 4E we have minions with 1 hp, "normal" monsters that take about four hits to kill, elites with double hp and solos with 5 times the hit points. While the game can be fun, I've noticed some concerns from players that it takes too many hits to kill the "normal" monsters, not to mention the...
