Actually, challenge ratings are one of the things I hate most about 3e. Not that I don't like knowing if monsters are an appropriate challenge, but CR's are based on the players having a balanced party and "appropriate" wealth for their level. Now in some gaming groups, balanced parties are...

Scarred Lands Any of Green Ronin's Mythic Vistas Howndawg

I'll tackle the first one first. The cleric is based on religious faith. A big part of faith is understanding what your god wants. And this means paying attention to him. Thus a cleric needs to be in tune with his deity. A character with high CHA but low WIS probably does a lot more...

Disagree about the WIS/CHA thing for divine casters. It seems to me that a good cleric listens to his god. But while I'm one the track of ability scores and spellcasting, I'd like to see classes which need two stats for spellcasting (favored soul, healer, archivist, etc.) go. From a...

1. Divine power creep. In 1e, the cleric and druid were designed to have a limited # of spells. Now, every time new spells are put out in a book, clerics and druids get to expand their repetoire for free! 2. Will there be simplified ENC rules? 3. I would love there to be extensive content on...

"Dweomercraft Myrmidon" Howndawg

Actually, no. I just don't want any unfounded rumors being traced back to me, even if they happen to be true :D . Howndawg

Swordmage: the long lost love child of the Hexblade and Duskblade, who devoured his parents and took all their stuff. Sounds like it might make "The Complete Arcane Handbook"* when it comes out. *Note: I totally made up the CAH. I'd lay odds WotC is doing one, but don't quote me as saying...

Wizards are the biggest badasses; until some loincloth wearing barbarian runs them through with a sword :D . Howndawg

I guess Two Worlds is a manly place where people do masculine things in the manful presence of other men. Howndawg

I first looked at 4e with a mixture of hope and skepticism. Hope that they would fix the problems with third, and pessimism that they would leave the more problematic aspects of third alone and mess with something that works perfectly well. The more I read on the WotC blogs and in the Design...

One subject I have not heard a peep on is favored classes. I'm wondering if they will remain or be replaced with something else. I suspect they will be a thing of the past. Well, sort of. It's been mentioned that races will get race specific feats and talents, like, for example, a dwarven...

I've got it and have been playing way too much of it. I don't think its as good as Oblivion, but it is pretty darn good. Graphics are a little dated, though, looking something like a launch game. Encounters don't level like they do in Oblivion so you can easily get wasted by running into a...

Right now I'm into Two Worlds. Howndawg

I can think of loads if given the time, but for starters: Not a delivery story, but funny. When working at one place as a driver, there was one woman who would call and order, and every time she would say, "I want the crust to be firm and hard, I don't want it to go limp in my hand". How could...

My last world, I confess, was a make it up as I go world. It made it easy to add new stuff. This time, however, I might use a world I've been working on for a few years now. It would not be too difficult to adapt to 4e. Howndawg

Maybe if they give the barbarian some talents that allow him to leap on the back of an ancient red dragon and break his neck. After all, that's what Conan or Tarzan would do :) . Howndawg

Frankly, I think the guys at WotC will definitely try to avoid a 4.5 as much as possible. Some people seem to forget that one of the reasons 3.5 existed was because 3e was released while parts of it desperately needed work. The ranger class is probably the best example. I think the designers...

Excluded: Forgotten Realms Runner-up: Dark Sun Also-rans: Greyhawk, Al Qadim, Mystara, Scarred Lands, and Arcana Evolved. Will play in anything, however. Howndawg

The tough thing for the developers to do is to try to understand the different angles we all come from and to try to accommodate as many as possible. Unfortunately, some people's angles are going to get left out. Although I like 3e rules, after playing it and running it, I came to the...
