It's obvious that they want the numbers to get into certain ranges and not deviate from those ranges too much. There's a number of reasons for that, ranging from the 'sweet spot' to balance to individual character contributions. I'm sure that will do most of everything that is intended. The...

That has nothing to do with a stance, though.

Not only is this completely irrelevant to 4E, it's also combative and likely to lead to an argument. Hopefully this gets locked quickly.

Great work, Kwalish Kid! I'm glad to see they got +2 Cha, because that's presumably going to be the key stat for sorcerers. I really like the breath weapon. It doesn't do much damage, which helps keep it in line with other racial powers, but it's a minor action, so a player doesn't really give...

I was thinking the same thing.

I'm not sure how much I like the decreased scope of dispel magic. I might have preferred they just gotten rid of it. Instead it's kind of in this weird area where dispel magic now dispels some magic, but not other magic, for no reason other than a seemingly arbitrary distinction. But, like with...

http://www.flickr.com/photos/benimoto/2308408982/sizes/o/ Looking at some of the level 10-16 wizard spells, there's three level 15 dailies that are considered conjurations. Doesn't seem too bad for a sixth level utility spell to potentially neutralize a spell 10 levels higher once per day...

Ok, I missed that. I'm not sure how that excuses your snarky response, though.

Wait...what? You said you were surprised because it hadn't been revealed yet, I mentioned that it was in R&C, and then went on to tell you about the dragonborn wings thing, since that was also in R&C, which you have apparently not seen. I figured if you got a kick out of the breath weapon, you'd...

For what it's worth, they were pretty clear about it in Races & Classes. They also said dragonborn will be able to take a feat eventually that will allow them to have wings.

Um, yes. If the game's as good as we've repeatedly been told it is, more details on some key aspects of the game will do nothing but make me more excited about the game. And that will make me talk to my buddies about 4E more, not only making them more informed about the game, but making them...

Admittedly, WotC has shown two things very well: monsters and first-level play. Outside of that, though, there's been almost nothing. Seeing a couple dozen paragon-tier wizard powers was cool, that really gave an idea of what to expect from that class without rendering the wizard entry in the...

What about the fighter?

I think there's a clear difference between something as basic and vital as multiclassing and rituals as opposed to something like the formulas for monster stats. I disagree. They're marketing hasn't been making me excited and anticipatory. It's been making me frustrated. Whereas I should be...

I disagree. If anything, this shows they should have made the class much more flexible, because different people have very different ideas about what a druid should be.

In my opinion, the blogger was just looking for stuff to fit into his conclusion. In other words, he already had the answer, he was just looking for the questions. I can't see another explanation for why he'd hinge everything on how much control a DM does or does not have without, you know...

Because apparently if they were to show us examples of how muticlassing works, there'd be absolutely no reason for us to buy the core rulebooks when they came out. At least, that's what I've been told.

First-level PCs have more abilities than those NPCs, so I wouldn't draw too many conclusions. As for non-first level PC play, yeah, we've got zero idea. We've been told you'll be making some sort of choice every level, and we've seen a few examples of higher-level powers and a couple feats, but...

This is one of those things that sounds good in theory, but doesn't really hold up once you think about it. If they were to show us some examples of multiclassing (like what you get with the wizard training feat), and if they were to show us a couple rituals, that wouldn't even come close to...

I'm pretty sure the martial controller will be 4E's white whale.
