I was waiting to see the revised version of Divine Challenge before I posted this, but I've been thinking about it for a while. A paladin can be a defender, sure. They challenge something and stick around to fight it, doing a modest amount of damage. Or... you can stick the paladin in the...

Good. Otherwise we'd have to stab him in the face.

It was reverse-engineered from the preview characters: Start at 8. 1 point cost per increase from 9 to 13. 2 point cost per increase from 14 to 16. Cost of a 17 is unknown, but it costs 7 points to increase a 16 up to an 18.

Yes, and that makes the feat even more powerful, because there are very few ways of getting a bonus to saves now, and "save ends" effects are extremely common.

Since people are still having trouble with the "Small" designation, here's a breakdown: - Weapons with no designation (e.g. shortsword) can be used one-handed by anyone. - Weapons with the Versatile designation (e.g. longsword) can be used one-handed or two-handed (w/ +1 damage) by Medium...

And good that he didn't. Rather than posting specific material (like stats and powers) that are protected under copyright, can you post generalizations that can be inferred from the module? Such as how half-elf multiclassing works, and what the dragonborn features actually do?

Encumbrance can't be out entirely; we have weight values for the War Pick and for coins (and Astral Diamonds specifically weigh less than other "coins").

Probably not. Tira is untrained in Arcana, and that comes with the feat. We also have no idea what's up with Prime Shot.

Not to mention Dwarf's Toughness, Giant's Toughness, and Dragon's Toughness in 3.0 splatbooks.

Yeah, I went ahead and bought some Alea Tools. For Large-size creatures, I'm going with these. Another option I'd considered is colored pipe cleaners. You can easily wrap them around minis, coil them up to stand freely, or whatever. Craft stores usually have them. They'll be handy to mark...

The pattern so far is that each class has one primary stat and two secondary stats; you might be able to go with only one secondary stat depending on which build option you go with. - Some of these we know (Warlord is Str primary, Int and/or Cha secondary; Rogue is Dex primary, Str and/or Cha...

Not quite: a halfling can sneak attack with a shortsword, but a human can't sneak attack with a longsword. The Human Guard from Escape from Sembia does.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if they took the current pregens, updated them to the semi-final ruleset (Corrin, I'm looking at you), and then just added a dragonborn warlord and an elf rogue.

Hey, let's not be setting-ist. It's an epic destiny in Eberron, too (Keith Baker). Might as well be core, at that rate.

Although I agree with you, yes, many people do believe that. D&D used to be a generic Tolkieneque fantasy simulator, but of late, and especially in 4e, it's become a lot less generic and a lot more "Welcome to the World of Dungeons & Dragons." The presence of dragonborn and tieflings in core...

If alchemy is a sideline rather than a character's main schtick, they can do whatever their main function is. "Alchemist" won't be a class any more than "ritualist" is, or "item creator" was in 3e (even less so, in the latter case).

However, the pregen cleric did have one melee power (Str-based, no less), and the one cleric PP we've seen is heavily melee. I'm sure that end of the spectrum will be well represented. Right after GenCon 2007, I posted on Andy Collins's message board suggesting that the cleric should probably...

Eww, crunchy cake? Gross. Cake should be nice and fluffy.

It would be pretty hilarious if there was a shipping snafu and hardly any stores got their books in time for Game Day on Saturday.

Even though I generally agree with you, this is a bad example. You can't pass that Intimidate check because the DC for intimidating Allenyo is probably around 45--feasible for a level 30 character, impossible for a level 2 character. It's not that you lack the muscle to back it up, it's that...
