If you treated the pudding like a swarm this would be easier to do. Then occupying the same space is no problem.

Maybe Saturday morning cartoons from like twenty years ago; they wouldn't show that on TV nowadays...

I voted Hommlett as that's the only one I've ever actually played in (for the first time, last week).

A> I'm happy that there's only a "bloodied" condition and not others for 1/4hp, 1/16th hp, etc. 2>I wonder if Resist Fire 20 works like Energy Resistance in 3.X or if it's an ablative pool, like extra HP just for fire. Didn't one of the previews talk about a wizard's fire resistance getting...

I wonder what this means for somatic components? Will you still need a free hand? Do components still exist?

Haven't they said this is the case? I'm guessing that healing will be like the mirror image of the wizard's damage spells. An at will heal that's pretty small, per encounter heals that are better, and per day heals for serious, mid-combat, life-threatening situations. Instead of named cure...

Combat might not play out that much differently, but I think the real changes will be in character creation/design. Talent trees and feats. No dead levels. New multiclass rules. Group roles. New way to acquire skills (if not new skills). Power sources. Crazy maneuvers. Those are the...

I think they'll eliminate touch attacks entirely.

A weird thing about this system is that if you played a wizard/sorcerer they'd have the same power source. A wiz5/Sor5 would be Arcane 10. I suppose only having 5th level spells would be the game balance there. A rog2/fight8 would be martial 10. Would that mean he could take 10th level...

Even if he spent a feat/talent on it? But what if instead it's "You attack," "Wait! monster counters," "Monster Attacks," "Wait! you counter," repeat (next round)... The two are functionally equivalent? Can't tell yet. But I think Heron got the counterattack b/c the goblin fired at him...

not all of us. :( But, yeah. Designers should be excited about what they're changing. You can't fault them for looking for problems, if they're looking for things to improve.

I'm not sure wands boost spells at all, but rather your "wizard strike" class ability. It would be like a warlock getting a +6 to hit w/his eldritch blast. That's what I inferred anyway.

My monk/fighter/psychic-warrior/kensai/dervish disagrees with you. :) Seriously though, check out the Character Optimization boards at the WotC forums sometime. Multiclassing is TOO effective as is. For non-spellcasters anyway.

I wonder what a party of five or six Leaders would be like? Lots of buffs, auto-healing go off as immediate actions, and everybody still attacking every round? Sounds pretty wicked. And is that a bug or a feature? (Of course there are probably rules for stacking effects that would make this...

"Y'know, the wolf just let it all pour out. It told her about its experiences as a wolf pup, its problems with the pack's alpha male, its dreams for the future, and its feelings. They talked for hours." Yep. New Social Rules are gonna kick three kinds of ass.

b/c English is a very consistent language... ;)

That would be my guess.

Apparently the 4e weapons will be designed by wigged-out art-deco dwarves. From what I've gathered, the difference in weapons will be more what talents/maneuvers you can take for them, rather than the stats of the weapons themselves. As long as spears stop sucking, I'll be happy.

There is: Pansy. :D
