I last enjoyed 3e when my players were fighting a custom green dragon zombie, their uncle, and the villain from the first episode of my six month Ebberon campaign. They were trying to climb a gigantic undead pyramid while waves of 4e style bone spider minions came crashing down the steps. I...

Stormbringer -I didn't say the alignment rules were hidden, or that they were too short. I said they were poorly written. And since alignment is one of the constant sources of argumentation about the 3.5 rules, I feel confident in that assertion. Clarity is a purely pragmatic thing, and a lot...

Cirno is showing us why the alignment system in general should go. People who believe that if their character's mindset isn't explicitly listed in the corebooks, you can't play that character.

When that way is a poorly worded construct like alignment, yes, indeed, heaven forbid.

Aria : Because I think that a more cooperative style is how it should be, and that means investing the players with more control. I want the books to reflect my style of play, because that makes the books more useful to me.

As a GM, I just want to say that I find the current tone to be just fine, and that books written the way Aria wants would not be as interesting or useful to me.

Tervin - The disenchanting rules are being included just for people like you, so that you can do away with the buying and selling of magic items. Everyone else - And I will repeat myself. We know the numbers. The numbers are important to balance. If you care about balance, you can shuffle...

Given that WOTC has revealed the math, I don't see what the problem is, or what medieval economics has to do with it. If you want to maintain balance that WOTC is trying to produce, but dislike the sale/vale ratio, just lower the value of the magic items you hand out by the difference. If you...

I too would like to see sorcerors turn out more like wilders, with the capacity to take a risk in return for a reward as part of the class' design and hopefully all of its powers.

One, the high level minion versus bunch of peasants argument is only valid if the auto hit on a 20 rule is still in. Two, minion is a relationship between PCs and NPCs, and thus does not apply to a fight between two groups of NPCs. Three, lone demons do not charge cities during broad daylight.

I believe, though I have no quote, that it has been stated that the erratta will be freely available.

I don't see why you would bother running a combat with enemies that have no chance of winning. I wouldn't run minions the way you suggest because I view it as a waste of everyone's time. I'd just narrate it. With 4e style minions, I can run large groups of expendable enemies with minimal book...

Referring to anything as suboptimal is, at this point ridiculous. As for the OP, their problem seems to be more that there is no ranged leader for them to cross class into, rather than a problem with the multiclassing system. With the flexibility of the new defense system(Fort bonus coming...

I didn't suggest anything other, I just pointed out that since everyone is going to be significantly dependant on at least two stats, the issue of needing to max out your Con for your breath weapon will be less important. Everyone is going to be making hard choices like that, if only on the...

Wizards are going to need wis for spellshaping(Gold Wyvern adept), one of the rogue paths requires cha, and the other str. Paladins require wis and cha, warlords int and str. Single attribute characters are a thing of the past, and I'm confident that the more we see of the rules, the more this...

Given that everyone is going to be dependent on a variety stats, this isn't as big of a deal as it was in 3e, when MAD was restricted to only a couple of classes.

Yes Pawsplay, they're useless to you. But you can easily ditch them without any negative effect. And there are a lot of us who like them. I don't see how this is a problem.

If they have a negative effect, you're using them wrong. If you can't imagine a scenario where they'd be useful, just skip them. They're a tool that's being provided, and they're not a requirement.

It's not a d8 it's 8 damage.

They're smaller Lizard. They're concepts they represent are repeated over and over again, and the symbols are smaller than the words. Not the dice, admittedly, but certainly the symbols for Basic, Ranged, and Burst are all half the size of the words.
