If I recall correctly (and I could be wrong) from D&DXP the you get a free attack against anyone who shifts near you applied to only creatures you had marked. Additionally only one mark of the same type could be on a creature at a time (i.e. a monster could be marked by both a fighter and a...

According to Amazon This title will be released on May 20, 2008

Comments from DDXP Rob Heinsoo judged my Scale Gloom table and when asked if there will be a way to reproduce the brokeness of the Spirited Chargins/Smiting/2 handed Power Attacking/Deadly Charging Paladin/Chevalier He answered along the lines of. Not gonna be there from the start. The Core...

WotC is a .NET shop so it likes Windows .NET isn't platform independent and when doing anything with graphics processing it relies on DirectX (Windows only) graphics tools and libraries. Since they started in a Windows environment their code only runs in a Windows environment. If they were...

Who says Death menas dead As many people have pointed out death in the game mechanics means your PC just reached -Bloodied or you failed 3 saves after falling into negatives. Ways to justify it could be that perhaps the ability triggers when you reach "death's door". Your badly beaten up...

Who said NPCs don't have healing surges? Or it may be that detailed healing like mending a broken leg is a ritual and not something a quick "combat" healing can do.

The Campaign will premier at GenCon. Campaign guidelines will be ready before that. (No hard date for when guidelines would be available, it won't be until after the PHB/DMG/MM are out.)

Given the RPGAs tendency to exaggerate I agree. But it sounded like the plan was to have 3 mods from each region ready at launch.

Chris Tulach was at ConnCon today and he mentioned several interesting facts in a speech he presented at dinner. Origins is expected to have 2 new 4E "preview" style adventures. Return to the Moathouse is going to be one of them. It will be a delve back into the moathouse near Homlet. Mike...

The biggest things necessary for Gleemax is browser interoperability and stability something Gleemax doesn't have. After that we get into functionality and load times. I find Gleemax very slow and often click a link do something else then check back to see if it is done loading or thrown up an...

The reason is the game designers wanted to reduce the number of magic items on a PC if that means (in part) reducing the number of slots so be it. PCs in 4E are more than just a collection of gear, they have cool powers too. And with those powers come reduced dependency on items.

My idea of PoL Points of Light is a grand idea and as such it is really what you make of it. Obviously there should be lots of darkness that constantly threatens to snuff out the light. Often people assume it goes hand in hand with a lack of knowledge and understanding of what is "beyond"...

It could be, the fleeing from something bad on a living ship is kind of like Farscape. And if the the campaign turns out to be more episodic as they flee the cultists or their beast all the while searching for a way to defeat it. They will have some tough questions "Do we dock at this place...

At Winter Fantasy Mike Mearls said that a table of 4-6 adventurers should have a very tough fight of an equal number of adventurers. Take that for what it is worth.

I can confirm what Matt says. I was at the tables at the time (curse you for scooping me) :p

Good to see all you guys still active on these boards. It does seem Mr. Mearls should be stopped possibly even more so than Rich Baker? I'm sure some of you will ahve your chance at D&D XP. Perhaps I'll even get to if he DMs the 4e Preview.

The Shadarki might not even be fey but something else. But I'm sure the'll be from the Shadowfell. Maybe they'll even be in "Keep on the Shadowfell".

There is also a lot of implied world material being tossed around here. Things like "As kingdoms and empires grew and collapsed -- the human realm of Nerath, the dragonborn Arkhosia, the tiefling Bael Turath" This is a radical change from previous editions where the implied setting was maybe...

The gnome seemed so harmless and inoffensive that I don't know why anyone would want to kill him. Heck I'd go so far as to say he was likable although maybe a little creepy (who's my minion). If it is a monster it has a long way to go before it starts terrorizing villagers and needs to be...

If WotC follows the best parts of past design they certainly will do that in the book.
