Hybsils. I am, for some inexplicable reason, drawn to the idea of hybsils. Being Small, detailed, quadrupedal creatures I imagine they'd be pretty hard to manufacture, but if they somehow did manage to produce a good looking one, for some reason it would elevate my mental image of the line in a...

That would be awesome. My module purchasing decisions basically hinge on what maps are included, as I never actually run published adventures.

This reflects my experience too. The players in my 4e game make frequent and unconventional use of their environments to thwart their enemies. Last session they used a table as both a shield and a weapon (largely thanks to having a 20 STR dragonborn in the party), and slowed a bloodweb spider...

I didn't even know it existed. Wish I'd had a chance to check it out.

If this does in fact include errata it's going to be an instant buy for me, even though I already have both books. That kind of price could get a lot more people into the game. For anyone who buys this today - Can you please confirm or deny whether the PHB in there is up-to-date with the...

Okay. Awesome. Thanks Mneme. The FAQ page had been under maintenance when I had initially posted, so I wasn't able to check. I hope future printings of the core books make niggling details like that easier to find answers for.

The thing is, Markn, while the power that changes damage dealt by the weapon to Cold has the Cold keyword, it doesn't state that any powers you use from then on in actually gain the Cold keyword. Just that they do Cold damage. Therein lies the confusion for me.

I'm also curious as to the answer for jester's question. Also, I'm sure this is probably in a FAQ somewhere, but that section of WotC's site is currently under maintenance: do Frost weapons actually confer the Cold keyword when cold damage is toggled on?

Well, being a skill monkey at heart I voted for the Rogue to be the last one standing. Also, I can't imagine a game with 4 defenders being particularly enjoyable, whereas a group of rogues would be brimming with cooperative possibilities. To be honest, I don't think fighter design has taken...

One of my favourite parts about the Ritual Casting system is that anyone can take Ritual Casting, or even a more advanced version from a class feature, with just a feat (or Multiclass feat). I think this opens the doors for some really cool character concepts.

I'm rather glad my prediction wasn't accurate. Despite being awkwardly implemented, I like wizards. The focus on implement specialization is something I like from a flavour perspective. More importantly, I guess, I really like ritual casting, and they're the only class (as far as I know) that...

Well, I just checked the MM Art Gallery, and there are a couple of images in there that aren't in the book either. These ones are making it seem more like they're just leftovers that didn't make the cut though. The arbalester, pictured on the left, has been published with different art in...

Hey folks, just thought to check the DMG gallery for images not found in the books too. There's some pretty great stuff there... I'm kindof hoping they see print. DMG Art Gallery

Crap. I voted before I read your post Glyfair, and I hadn't logged in. I won't clear my cookies and re-vote, because frankly, I'd feel dirty, but if you could count one of the anonymous votes as one towards the Swordmage being booted, that'd be great. As for who I think we'll see in the top 3...

If that's the case, Skywalker, that's extremely disappointing. Not smart business, either, given that a fair number of people would probably purchase a second PHB if it included errata and other updates. I remember the Rouse saying that future printings would have errata applied though, so...

Here are a couple more: Personally, I'd love to have an errata-ed, more reader-friendly PHB. I'd gladly purchase a copy. The only thing that would bother me is if they included genuinely new rules content that wasn't in the first printing or available free online.

The first 4e session I ran was almost entirely improvised, and I was really impressed with how easily one can throw together a balanced encounter. Simply having an XP budget and an XP cost for each creature has done wonders, I think. 4e being so movement-heavy, I also found that half the fun...

Out of curiosity, how would you folks feel about the idea of future printings of the 4e PHB or other core books being revised to include errata, tweaked for easier readability, including all the new keywords, and/or some new artwork? If you have a PHB, would you buy another copy, provided these...

If I could I would, but I'm not willing to subscribe to DDI, and I don't want to pay for preprinted ones. I'm also not a super-fast typist, so hand-typing them isn't much of an option. My players would probably really benefit from having access to the Character Builder, but for some reason I'm...

Ack. The Warlock is actually one of my favourite classes in the game. The flavour is very rich, and it permeates the mechanics. Mechanics that may not produce optimal damage output, but produce very interesting effects, and do so at significant and dramatic times. Warlocks have architecture in...
