It seems a fair comparison, since both settings started with an idea, got the juices sucked out by committees and then were hit by increasingly incoherent and bizarre rules changes that alter fluff for no apparent reason. But then, both Dark Sun and Planescape had their endings in 'What the...

But thats both sub-optimal and completely optional. Barring pressing time issues cropping up in the adventure, there isn't any reason to do so. Meh. I used extreme examples to make a point, but the basic question still stands. If you have an 'extended rest' that overlaps days, how does it...

No, it doesn't work like that. To do *that*, the immediate dragon breath would need an additional rule saying it overrides the normal rules for immediate actions. Otherwise it does, indeed, follow the normal rules for immediate actions- because it isn't giving a specific exception. 'When...

So upon learning about the existence of adventurers, the grell immediately becomes... something other than a solitary monster. Thats the problem- the text and the the encounters are flatly contradictory unless they are only ever encountered with traps.

So, hopefully 'per day' is better explained in the PH. As it is, I'm wondering where the line is supposed to be drawn. If you 'extended rest' at 10 pm, is that your rest for yesterday, when you started, or today when you ended? And of course, as a definition it still has the wonderful...

Which makes it somewhat odd that a specific god was referenced by a feat. Rather annoying as its yet more setting information to rip out of the crunch. Would Power of the Sun been that hard? (And yes, for people that will inevitably chime in, I can do it myself. But, again its a barrier...

I think you're over thinking it a bit with your list- its largely a matter of taste, not really a checklist. Different people want different things.

It doesn't, though. You can't heal yourself when unconscious, its only once/encounter and you have to give up your action to heal yourself. Having heal bots around to heal you as a minor action (and potentially for more) is still quite necessary.

After trying it out... that isn't going to work well. You *need* a leader. @Derro. I don't think the warlord will be a mid-range combatant. More like front line, or secondary line. The cleric is almost mid range, but with the ranged combat weirdness, mid-range is 5 squares.

Hmm. It was crystal clear back in December that non of their web-based... products... were going well. Since its apparent that they dropped the GSL ball as well, I just hope that the rules get done, and are solid, well playtested and clear.

Yes. It looks like someone read the Economicon. No more crushing a merchant under a literal cartload of gold to buy a magic sword. Too bad coins are still ridiculously heavy, though.

Its pretty much +4 to compete with the fact that the other strikers are going after the defenses rather than AC. Sometimes the math works out better in favor of one or the other. Without careful shot, the sample ranger is pretty poor. The daily is fairly low damage, but useful for spreading...

I feel the same way. If there isn't any 'sacrifice now in hopes of gaining later' garbage in 4e, I will feel a lot better about it.

Pretty good crunch. Still dislike the fluff. I'm struggling a bit with the cerebral, yet bloodthirsty angle. I wonder if this means that warlord is going to rely on Int or Chr, and then the other stat and str...

Personally, I wouldn't have objected to nerfing fly and greater invis, or pushing them back in the spell list. But they pushed them back in the spell list, nerfed them *and* made them daily spells. I'll take the per encounter displacement spell for the win, Alex.

I don't know that talent trees ever actually existed outside, 'Well, if its like Saga', speculation.

I've been running some trial encounters with the available info. I think these work pretty well. The rational is a bit weird, but it does seem a bit better than just getting a damage bonus on whoever you want, because yeah, you'd just snipe the heck out of the guy in the back. Mobility is a...

Not sure it is that, precisely. For one, I don't think you go back to being slowed if you recover from unconsciousness. (Even if just because of the headache of potentially bouncing back and force between the two states) Hit, fail (ko), suceed(slow), fail (ko), suceeed(slow) etc... And you...

Heh. I could think of worse regions to get. And think of it as being liberated from those pesky northerners :) I can't think of any Aglarond specific spell plague effects, but there have to be some, what with Thay exploding into one giant mountain now. Might get some new landscape too, from...

I'm just trying to think of a good way to track it all. Just the durations are annoying me. You've got- powers that end at the end of the target's turn powers that end at the end of the attacker's next turn powers that end at the start of the attacker's next turn powers that end at the end of...
