I prefer petty theft elves.

Now THAT'S some effulgent energy flow!

I think it's funny that I can I can basically take that list and make it about guys instead, and it makes sense (even taking boyfriend literally). I mean those bisexual wiccan reiki masters (or something similarly "New Agey") are just as often weird* guys, in my experience. Not that I'm...

There are plenty of things to spend money on. Spending is kind of what money is built for. You can buy anything from land and keeps and titles and merchant fleets, to sex and drugs and...Bardic Music? The point is that money is easy to spend.

I'm guessing magic items will probably work like a lot of the recent magic items, lots of swift/immediate action activating effects. It sounds like we still have +X weapons, though. I'm actually cool with that. +X weapons are one of the things about D&D that I have personal attachment to.

I don't think "Points of Light" and other setting material is really a "setting," as such. You could call it a default setting skeleton. I think the main reason they are going to this PoL model is so that they can put out generic adventures that can be plugged in to any setting (especially...

I like Kurtulmak....

There are likely simplified NPC stats as well. I suspect that a DM could probably run the game with out using PC classes at all and not miss a lot. But even so, choices don't equal abilities. Many feats and powers could be enhancements that you take and factor in to a smaller number of abilities.

Oooh, I want a Seer Leader right now! Stop stuff before it happens!

Waaah! I like kobolds. ;)

They ride around in collossal dragon shaped ships, and there's like a thousand kobolds inside each one. Each ship comes equipped with an appropriately themed "breath attack" emanating from the dragon ship's head. Yes. I can see it....

I'm sure that's just what the elves say of us.... Edit: Yes, I realize the Elf/Human love affair is iconic. But so is human nature, unfortunately.

Drama queen. ;)

Hmm, perhaps it is. The Shadowfell thing did set my meter off, I'll admit. I don't want it to be drow. I'm not against them as a rule, but we don't need high elves, wood elves, and dark elves with their own racial entries in the first PHB (unless at least one of them is a sidebar).

To be clear, I wasn't specifically claiming much about anyone in particular with my post, but rather I expect some people will have different expectations (and that I will think they are wrong ;)).

I think minotaur is out because it's too close to the Tauren in WoW. They'll probably already get crap for adding in the Warlock, and having two elven races (one nature-like and one more magical). To be clear, I think this is an argument that relies on a lame (ultimately circular) analogy, but I...

I can picture a "Monk" controller with a lot of mobility and the ability to affect multiple opponents with his attacks. It seems to me that it's just a matter of building the abilities right. It might feel strange in play, but that's not the same as non-viable from a mechanical perspective. I...

I could see a limited version of that ability making a lot of sense. Certain enemies (demons, undead, etc.) could be compelled towards a Paladin. Also, I think there's room for some sort of Showdown ability that locks two characters into combat with each other.

Well, the playtest character in the latest podcast (I think) likes to open up his fights with a thrown spear, so it's not as though a Fighter can't use ranged weapons. It's just that he'll have a lot of powers having to do with not dying and keeping enemies next to him. A little striker juice on...

Well, the Ranger might have the powers to handle the archery angle. If so, then multiclassing of some sort should work just fine (or just play a Ranger).
