Less martial than the paladin.

I hope healing surges aren't a default assumption of DDN. I think if certain aspects of 4E are ported over to DDN as defaults like healing surges, martial dalies etc this will be viewed by many as a signal that DDN = 4.5E (or 4.75E if you view essentials as 4.5E). I'm not sure that is going to...

EMO werewolves FTW!

non cleric healing One class i got to playing alongside in 4E that I thought did a great job filling the leader role and providing loads of temp hp was the ardent. Wouldn't mind seeing some version of the ardent show up eventually in 5E.

Yes!

I think it's unavoidable, they want to sell books so if the Far Realm is hot expect them to sell it. It's good business.

Yes I can certainly see how tracking a side bar of temp hp would be undesireable for some I would push the job of tracking them onto to the player personally. I like your alternative abilities. I could envision a warlord potentially having the choice of all three things temp hp, ac boost or atk...

So just to clarify (and no I have no interest in laying traps or whatever) do you object to the mechanic of temp hp itself or the idea that warlord inspiration could grant them?

I love the idea that any god can have paladins, I thought this was one of the great innovations of 4E but after I while I forget which edition spawned what lol. After all its about more choices you can still play your hard core strict LG Pally or play something completely diff like a paladin of...

I think there is no getting around this however it doesn't preclude those books from being awesome does it?

The design mantra of appealing to fans of every edition is seductive, however, I don't think I've seen enough to get excited about. If they can develop a base game from which the DM can essentially cherry pick thier favorite aspects of other editions and easily add them on it will be quite an...

Non-divine non-magical healing or simply magical non-divine healing?

I think you're really on to something here but how do they add this while still maintaining that DnD feel? I think the mechanical benefit to these things will encourage buy in across a wider player base too.

Putting the mechanic of surges aside for the moment would any non or reluctant 4E adopters still be put off by warlord healing if it instead granted temp hit points? What about fellow 4E players if warlord were altered in this fashion would it ruin the class for you?

Sounds like they had fun how awful for you.

Dragonborn sans the dragonbewbs would be fine with me.

Sure but how many free actions will be allowed, will immediate reactions or immediate interrupts also be free actions? Will be shielding swordmage mark you with his aegis as a free action, mitigate damage with said aegis as a free action all on the same turn? will all free actions be capped per...

I wonder what this means for Swordmage Aegis or Hunter's Quarry? I also wonder of opportunity attacks etc will be going bye bye.

I think a simple open ended guideline like falling damage up to distance x is xdx per x distance of the fall. Falling further than distance x may have consequnces beyond damage in the guideline see your DM for details. I see no reason there has to be a hard fast rule that falling over distance x...

I took it as a signal from 4E's designers that at half hitpoints the physical component of hitpoint damage had started to kick in. I am not claiming that i'm right it might very well be another example of 4e terminology getting in the way of intent.
