I admit I'm in the dark about eBook formats, but I'm pretty sure that I need to install some reader application to open any of those formats. I don't want to have to install additional software to access the books. PDFs are what I want.

Alternately, you could introduce your genitalia to a sledgehammer. That might be more enjoyable. I do like to have more source material for a campaign world. Sure, I can make up all kinds of details to flesh out any world I run a campaign in... but those details aren't entirely useful...

Question regarding Implement Focus: is the feat text general enough that you can take Implement Focus for any possible implement? Or is it specific and only compatible with the implements that are featured in the book? I expect the former, but I wanted to be sure. Since they're nerfing Weapon...

Fireball is perhaps one of the most useless powers published in 4e, and certainly one oft he most useless Wizard dailies. People are discussing the larger burst size of the Fireball as if it's a great bonus? Seriously? The larger burst size might be a boon, in the entirely imaginary world...

Thanks for the info. A bit more on feats. Did any of the racial weapon feats get revisited? Dwarven Weapon Training or Eladrin Soldier, for example. I've been suspecting that Essentials would make such feats scale by tier, as was done with later weapon feats like Githzerai Blade Master. I'm...

Yeah, I'm aware of that. I assume that the Superior * choices will have a feat bonus like Superior Will. What I'm really curious about is Improved Defenses. If Improved Defenses is a feat bonus, it doesn't stack with the Superior selections, making them effectively a +1. If it's not a feat...

Are those defense feats all Feat bonuses, or are any untyped?

Huh. I didn't expect them to have info on specific familiars, but I thought they'd have at least the basics of how familiars work.

Are all of the stores listed there Premier stores with early release dates? I normally wouldn't even consider entering the local (un)FLGS, but I want to get a look at some of this stuff ASAP.

Thanks.

Do you have any pics that show the map more completely? I'm not terribly interested in the Red Box, but I'll buy any (reasonably priced) product with a good poster map.

I am in agreement that such information needs to be available, but that the stat block is not the place for it to go. Even an "icon" sized image is too much bloat for an already lengthy format.

Thanks. DMG2 gave attack bonuses at 2/7/12/17/22/27 and defense bonuses at 4/9/14/19/24/29, so it sounds like Dark Sun is the same. Two other question about it though, because I'm so incredibly impatient I just don't want to wait while Amazon sends me my book: Do their recommendations differ...

I've seen it mentioned that Dark Sun has a revised version of the Inherent Bonuses rules. What's the deal here? How does it differ from the rules from DMG2? Thanks again for any info.

Thanks.

Does Psionic Power have much of anything on offer for non-Psionic characters? Martial characters, particularly? Does it present many new multiclass feats?

Yup! Don't know. People are silly like that. Yup! But alas, it was not to be.

Do Heavy Blades get much love among these superior weapons? Interesting new off-hand weapons? Any new Heavy Thrown options? {Edit} Oh, and thanks for answering regarding themes. Looks like Gladiator (I think the first one previewed) will be the best match for my character.

Most of the FR NPC's have died of old age in 4e. Drizzle's still around, but his other adventuring companions have passed on. Greenwood's Gandalf is still alive and crazy as you noted (and I don't think they can ever kill him off while Greenwood lives), but almost all of the other Chosen are...

We've already seen in official previews what the names of all the themes: Athasian minstrel Dune trader Elemental priest Gladiator Noble adept Primal guardian Templar Veiled Alliance Wasteland nomad Wilder Hero Can one of you shed some additional light on those themes that...
