This announcement gives me a Fiddler on the Roof moment. On the one hand, they've pushed the PHB back a month... But on the other hand, they've moved the DMG forward a month... Howndawg

Actually, they should be dark gnomes. :D Howndawg

Humor: Maneuver: Try it and Die Tradition: Lodge of the Transmogrifying Butterfly Class (Warlord): BMOC Serious: Offensive Parry Tradition: Protean Lodge Class (warlord): Captain Howndawg

I picked psion, as they are one of my favorite classes. But psionics as a whole is something I'd like to see in a later book. Howndawg

I like what I've read, but as I'm not a big warlock fan, I voted neutral. Howndawg

I don't think munchkins and powergamers are the same thing, but they can overlap. Powergamers like to play powerful characters, plain and simple. They tend to min/max to get the most bang for their buck. Munchkins don't "get it". There is something about roleplaying they just don't...

Maybe engineers and D&D players are too smart to see through an attourney's emotional appeals. :) Howndawg

Perhaps line them up on your bookshelf like a Time-Life series of books. :) Howndawg

Possibly, if the D&D minis set Dungeons of Dread has stat cards in 4e, we'll have playable monsters. Howndawg

In some ways, 3e didn't seem very much like D&D. The moving itself away from medieval fantasy into dungeon punk, the idea that magic items could be bought in stores, NPC classes among other things were very un-D&D like when they were unleashed upon us. Yet the game was still fun and...

A hard question for me to answer as what the book contains affects how much I'm willing to pay for it. If there is quality conceptual art that is not going to make it into any print product and if there are any insightful and fascinating designer comments then I am highly likely to buy the...

Clerics being better necromancers than wizards. Rangers with magic. Monks being called monks. My image of "monk" is more up the line of the archivist. In 3e, spears being 2-handed. In many cultures, warriors fought with spear and shield just fine. Scimitar wielding druids. Howndawg

Archivist and Dread Necromancer would both have been close contenders on my list, but since you didn't include them, I went with Swashbuckler, Beguiler, and Duskblade. Howndawg

At least you have to learn those languages. In BD&D and 1e, you knew your alignment language just for being the proper alignment. That was way too silly. But then again, as a former linguistics major, silliness when it comes to language is a pet peeve of mine. Howndawg

If the monkeys don't get your treasure, they'll start flinging their treasure. :p Howndawg

Incidently, always jog FACING traffic and wear light or reflective clothing if jogging in twilight hours. A young woman who lived near my mom got killed because she was jogging with traffic and drifted in front of a car she didn't see. Please jog safely. Howndawg P.S. If you're a guy and...

One problem I have with the Great Wheel is that it assumes that alignment is metaphysical in nature rather than moral. In other words it implies that good, evil, law, and chaos are spiritual qualities embedded in the multiverse rather than personal choices made by individuals. As such it often...

I'm pretty sure 8 is the confirmed number. By Swordsinger, are you referring to Swordmage? Ditch the barbarian? Never! Howndawg

Personally, I would prefer artwork be evocative of the fantasy genre. Too much of 3e art, although technically quite good, was not very evocative. A lot of Mongoose art (I know I'm going to take flak from mentioning Mongoose and art in the same sentence), while technically quite amateurish...

Could not agree with you more. Weapons should have their own individual flavor. I wonder how some people would feel if spells were simplified to the point where individual spells had no flavor? I'm sure some people would be up in arms. Howndawg
