Exactly as powerful as they'd have to be to threaten a 10th level fighter with 1 healing surge per day (and btw, they'd be 21-HP surges in your example). If you can only use one per fight, then having more than one doesn't improve your staying power at all. Also remember that only the dwarf...

Utility spells != Daily spells. A utility spell might be daily, but it's still not one of your Daily spells. As little sense as that makes; attack spells and non-attack spells come from different "pools."

Yes, yes, no (you didn't attack that creature), and yes. Unless they errata/FAQ it otherwise.

Since the warlord lacks the Healer's Lore class feature, this is what should have been expected. Presumably, only one of the available cleric builds gets Healer's Lore, and the other option(s) are no better at healing than the warlord.

In reality, that fighter isn't nearly as indestructible as you make him sound. In the previews I played, he went down a couple of times. It's not a game of attrition, where you need to retreat for the day because you're low on HP, it's a game of survival where you need to focus on one fight at...

We haven't yet seen any cleric powers that are weapon powers and based on Wisdom. The paladin has weapon-Cha powers, but so far everyone else bases their weapon powers on Str or Dex. So +1 Str, +2 prof. is correct for this attack.

My wife will probably be getting a Surface for her office within a few years. There's a good chance we'll all gather there to game.

It's at the top of page 2. Since the warlord lacks Healer's Lore, he's a notably inferior healer as compared to the cleric. I wonder if there's a feat they can take (like Healing Hands) to fix that?

From the PrRC: "Pick any corner of the attacker's square. Draw lines to each corner of the target's square. If there are one or two corners blocked on these lines, the target has cover; if there are three blocked, the target has [superior] cover."

Eh? So the short sword was changed after DDXP... or paladins get +1 to hit like fighters seem to. Makes it a no-brainer for rogues (+2 chance to land my sneak attack? Yes please). I can't seem to reverse-engineer the KotS dwarf fighter, though. He has a 13 Dex and is still only +3 to hit...

That's a major oversight. Especially since warlords are supposed to be good at healing, and the warlord's one healing power (Aid the Injured) looks pretty crappy. Edit: Interesting--looks like Steel Monsoon is based on Int rather than Str. Looks like a cool multiclass power.

I saw Acid Arrow picked more often than Sleep when I was at DDXP. I don't think anyone liked the fact that Sleep have roughly a 75% chance of doing nothing very effective.

Epic-level character can self-resurrect once per day. I think 1/4 your HP for CLW, 1/2 for CSW, and 3/4 for CCW (CMW is a recent invention) is perfectly reasonable, if you get CSW around level 10 and CCW around level 22. No reason to clump them all together--then you'd have a level 15 cleric...

Yes there are: Astral Judgment and Astral Rejuvenation. But you're right, the alternate AP use is missing. Anyone know why the to-hit on the breath weapon is so high? I figure only +12 (+5 Str, +7 1/2 level). I really dislike "Armor/Abil" for AC. Those should be separate entries. And the...

Fair enough, but it would have been nice to clarify this the first time around. This whole "pre-release adventure" thing has some significant conceptual flaws....

...which effectively makes it your choice, if you're playing KotS. You can follow the as-yet unofficial final rules, or you can use the rules you paid for. If stuff in KotS was deliberately simplified, and thus deliberately different from the final rules, I think it's fair to say that you can...

I've used werebadgers and werelions in campaigns before, and I play a dire werebat in the Core Coliseum. I've also seen a wereporpoise, a couple of werevipers, and a wereeagle. I've thought about playing a weresquid but never got around to it.

I think that ticks me off more than anything I've seen about 4e so far. I hope the PHB phrases it the way they intended it to be played, but if it says exactly what KotS says, then I'm sorry, Logan is flat-out wrong. Being a designer doesn't give you the right to re-interpret the rules to say...

It's not really on topic for this thread, but they could have easily just used a different race that didn't have a power built in, like an elf. (Interesting, I just noticed: of the 8 races in the PHB, only the elf and dwarf lack a power of some sort. Humans and half-elves get a bonus class...

Any enemy. See below. Yes. It's explicitly an immediate interrupt and is subject to all rules regarding immediate actions.
