Started with Holmes, went to AD&D as soon as I got all the books, went to 2e, 3e, and 3.5. Most likely will move on to 4e.

Since it looks like there will be four martial classes in the PHB, I strongly doubt we'll see more than one or two classes in MP. My best bet for a martial controller would be a trickster type character who can lob itching powder and throwing knives into groups of monsters. I think two...

Typically,in the best splat books I've read, the writer expands the class' or race's horizons, showing what can be done with going beyond the expected stereotype of the class or race. In the worst, however, the writer delves into what he thinks the class or race ought to be like, and instead of...

My guess is that it means it can be used one handed with a shield or two handed to do more damage. Hmmm... dope smoking idea, maybe it does 1d8 one handed and 2d8 two handed?

The description of the ranger in R&C seems to imply that he is a martial rather than a divine class. From the description, I would gather that they are moving the ranger in the direction of archer/skirmisher. IMHO, as to the classes in the PHB, I think the eight characters on pages 2-3 are...

Ho, ho, ho. Merry Christmas!

I was going to set up a whole new thread, but I discovered this one, so I'll add my thoughts here. There are several hints in R&C that there could very well be a nature based power source. Here they are: p. 10: Mention of PHBII and barbarian and druid being in it. Not much on its own, but...

I picked it up yesterday and read through it. A few observations: Dragonborn: Think Garr in Breath of Fire III without wings at first, but can grow them later, and you've got a good idea what they look like. Humans: Stylistically a cross between classical and Dungeonpunk. Medievalpunk sounds...

Yes I am.

One notable difference between the 3e release and the 4e release is that 2e had an 11 year lifespan, while 3e will last only eight. A good many people who are upset about 4e are upset because they believe the release is premature. Even though I generally like what I see about 4e and will be...

Just recently polished it up myself. Loved it. My biggest critiques: -Shield recharge on the Mako is pathetically slow. Too many battles consist of running in, killing as much geth as I can, then retreating and waiting ten minutes for my shields to recharge. Repeat until geth are destroyed...

That just seems so Tarzan. Now if they can just give barbarians incentive to doff armor... Magical loincloths would be nice.

Get sucked away from the boards by Mass Effect for a week and look what happens. Dragonborn Wizard? Howndawg nailed it first, thank you very much. Okay, I thought it was a half-dragon. But that's still pretty damn close.

One thing I find interesting is the mention of the Book of Grudges, which is straight out of Warhammer. I wonder how much influence Warhammer has on 4e. Let's see, points of light, less reliance on magic items, more dark stuff, and gno gnomes in the PHB. Could we see snotlings in the MM?

Replace the Mountain Dew with Coke Classic and I'm with you all the way.

Good: End of Vancian magic. Deemphasis on the "Christmas tree" effect. Bad: Having to wait for barbarians, bards, druids, etc.

To answer the question about warlords and whether they rely on Int or Cha for their abilities, Rich Baker wrote an excellent blog on his warlord character which answers that question. They rely on both Int and Cha to some extent which leads me to believe that they are both tactical and...

Doggone it! You've posted some of my best ideas plus some I never thought about! Now put the Alchemist, manipulator, and trickster together as one class and give him the flexibility to do all those things, now that would be cool.

My guess is either Drow (there being a drow in the upcoming mini starter set) or some type of draconic race (the guy on the PHB could be interpreted to be draconic rather than fiendish).
