I have long suspected the 3e vine horror was pretty much a conversion of the algoid; that would make the 4e vine horror basically cover it. Also I believe Mike Mearls has done conversions for the blindheim and adherer that you can get if you email him - there was something about that in his...

This is definitely true. Remember an 'encounter' in 3.5 terms might be a single CR 1 creature at level 1, which is definitely at odds with 4e design. There are often a lot of separate creatures in older modules that can be combined into single encounters in 4e, which also puts more combat space...

What is there to track? I find remembering which goblins have used their interrupt and which haven't to be a lot more annoying. Kobolds you just do one turn at a time anyway, so it should be pretty easy to know if the guy you're activating has used his minor shift or not.

It is also worth thinking about as a multiclass utility pick too, depending on whether or not you want your level 2 or your level 6 from your original class. An extra heal per day looks more exciting when you can only healing word once a day anyway.

So far in actual play, while we haven't tried out Turning Point specifically, the ability to grant someone an extra save is *extremely* useful. I'm not going to argue that that makes Turning Point better than the healing daily, which is just outstandingly good. I think the issue is more likely...

This is exactly how every edition of D&D has been, from where I'm sitting.

There are actually not that many classes that benefit from a 3rd at-will, and almost none that benefit from a 4th (wizard.) I think it would be stepping on the toes of the human way too much to be allowable, as suddenly the only class that they look like a decent choice for is the wizard. In...

Similarly it would seem to me that the shadow has been subsumed into the regular wraith, as wraiths now inflict the weakened condition.

Doesn't the allip already exist in 4e in the form of the mad wraith?

The characters both have spent a feat on this, it isn't like he's taking an unfair comparison in terms of resources spent here. It is also silly to call the fighter a 'dabbler'. Skills don't work like that anymore. If you're trained, you're trained.

I do. I've bought every ruleset so far, I'm not sure why I would necessarily change that pattern, unless they stop improving the game, which for me has not happened yet.

Marked is a condition, defined in the condition list. Divine Challenge applies two things to the target: - marked - the damage effect They have separate durations, as defined in Divine Challenge. Seems pretty clear from where I'm sitting.

Kobolds don't strike me as having a might-makes-right social structure anyway. That's orcs.

I think the main reason the GSL is a large-scale brouhaha here is that ENWorld has a high proportion of OGL publishers in its posting crowd. On most other gaming forums that I frequent, the release of the GSL has barely caused a hiccup.

Forget about D&D turning into WoW, ENWorld is turning into the WoW boards. ;)

Enemy outside zone, attacking a goblin hexer in the zone, takes a -2. Enemy inside zone, attacking a goblin hexer in the zone, takes a -4.

Remember, it is the GSL you need to be worrying about, not the OGL.

Correct - or if goblin 3 was one space to the right, then you'd be safe there too. Both the goblins on the left side are clear to shoot at while hiding from them, too. This is one of those things that people that haven't played a lot of DDM take a bit of time to get used to, I think.

If rituals were free, characters would be constantly spamming them any time they thought they might get the tiniest advantage out of doing so.

"Cloak of Lurking" isn't a magic cloak. It is just a power the tiefling has, and it involves hiding behind a normal everyday cloak, or whatever.
