I always assumed that this was the standard model for playtesting... I could see it's flaws though. Player's need time to figure out how to use their character's abilities, -- not to mention group synergy,-- and one hour might not cut it. Also, they'd take more risks w/temporary characters...

Yeah, I'm hoping this is good. I hope they get rid of the Negative HP timeclock and just use conditions. Also, Isn't it weird that they're releasing Keep on the Shadowfell in May and the books in June? How could you use the adventure w/o the core books?

poetry, soul, and so forth. She's funny. I imagine her kinda like the Maria Bamford of D&D.

Well... It could mean there's just a list of spells, and you pick which spells are at-will, per-encounter, or per-day.... maybe.

They also quoted crap off his myspace page. I'd say it's all filler to make up for lack-of -story.

Bugbear: goofy word + goofy word = cool Feywild: cool word + awesome word = dumb Naming stuff is a strange arithmetic.

But you'd still have to look back and forth. And it would take up more table space. I'd think all tactics on the pages on one side (even numbered/left hand side) and all story on the other (odd numbered/right hand side). Give em different borders/looks so you could always tell one from the...

So... Many jokes... Grandma... Eric's... Must resist.

And with platemail instead of a lute...

= bonus to REF defense and AC? It could be that the Ranger has the option to get outdoorsy stuff, but could skip those feats/powers if he didn't want them. Multiclass for powers from a different class??

I will be pretty annoyed if they don't have PC write-ups for the basic humanoid races in the MM that they appear in. I mean if they need time to figure out how to write a good illithid PC race, fine-- but Goblins? C'mon! Don't make me wait for MM2 for that.

Are those your only two choices? :D *** I don't know. One-encounter-duration abilities might get wonky if you have disruptive players. But I know that timed abilities cause troubles, even if everyone at the table is very cooperative and reasonable. A> Buffs that last in rounds add up to a...

Yeah, if HP really are luck, and endurance, and also durability, then there should be other ways to heal than just positive energy shooting out of a good cleric.

Does this not happen in 3e? I dropped THREE times in the last session I played in, and the other PCs a few as well. Our cleric was very, very busy.

So if people could re-learn all this science, wouldn't mind flayers -- being incredibly intelligent -- learn it even faster? Why would they ignore all that knowledge and tech just lying around? And if they're psionic they could practically suck knowledge out of the brains of surviving...

The draconic rite of passage is in RotD, but the Greater is a feat here: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/we/20060420a

From this it sounds like what we formerly thought of as Sorcerers ( i.e. guys who cast magic b/c of their magic blood) might be folded into wizards. Sort of the self-taught wizards or natural savants. If they're not dividing orders by spell choice, I wonder what the mechanical differences...

I'm switching. If somebody else wants to DM 3.5, fine; but when I'm behind the screen, it'll be 4e.

Penis jokes?... Oh, now I get it.

I like this.
