Speaking of, Jack Burton of Big Trouble in Little China fame.

Two things: #1 - How do you account for the increased limitations on range with the 3E sneak attack? #2 - If you are judging the number of build options in 4E based on this one choice of Rogue Tactics then 3E goes from your virtually infinite to one or even zero as that level of choice was...

Tyrion - multi-classing into Warlord at several points Arya Raven Aladdin Odysseus - with plenty of levels in fighter Sisyphus hmmm, I'll come back to this. Ooooo, Mack the Knife. Vlad Taltos Sweeney Todd Jim Bowie - with some Ranger thrown in there again, I'll have more later.

Really? This must be a joke. Player chosen class features in 3.0: Skills Feats Spells(maybe) Domains/School Specialization(maybe) Equipment - limited, sort of, by proficiency and cost Player chosen class features in 4.0: Skills Feats Spells/Rituals(maybe) Domains/Warlock Oaths(maybe)...

The Gladius was a short sword and the Roman's thought it superior.

My trench coat says you lie.

There's no I love it sooooo much, tab. Or a I hate it so much that if I saw it pasted to a kitten I'd vomit on the kitten before kicking it, tab.

In fact, thanks to this reminder, I'm going to eat my grapefruit right now.

Oh, and I was agreeing with you. Except that, as you phrased it, it seemed as though it was something the discerning viewer had to suss out. I was just pointing out that it's a pretty explicit goal. Um, ok. That's a pretty weak stomach, there. But GURPS really could use the love. Not...

The Rogue utility power seems pretty clearly skill based.

I like your analysis and am concurrently delighted by it. Good calls on models too. Man I love Catwoman. As for the others: Raven is very clearly multi-classed. They might as well come out and say so in the first book. Indy, on the other hand, certainly has the thievery and dungeoneering...

I believe that this is, in fact, an explicit goal of this edition. I might argue with you over the significance of this, in particular the idea that sacrificing combat ability is necessary to the 'face man' concept, but in so far as we know if there is in fact a way to hardcode a character...

I'd like to see the skill system trotted out and explained.

Agreed, except you'd have to explain how all the monsters work with a pre-modern society.

That's an awesome example, thanks.

At first I thought so. But since then I've come to recognize that there are simply many faces to Dr. Lau. Either that or, like Shakespeare, you're simply the world's best run committee.

Hey it was a good freaking trap. The Mayans may not have understood soil fertility and erosion, but by the 10,000 Black Feathers of the Raven Queen's Cloak they knew how to roll some frekkin boulders.

That's honestly brilliant. Feels more like rpg.net Lizard, though. Is the preview throwing your scheduling off?

Indeed, I think Trapfinding is gone. Replaced with simple skill in Thievery. Or possibly still limited to a trained aspect of Thievery.

I'm happy if no class has a dumpstat and no character gets penalized by that. And I'm happy with their being multiple dumpstats per class so that the decision of what you are or are not good at outside of your job isn't, in fact, made by your job. Otherwise I'm happy with their being no...
