There was none. However, there are some leaked materials (leaked with permission, mind you) from which some of the class could be extrapolated. -- Photos of the class write-up (page 1, page 2); -- Level 3 preview character sheet (page 1, page 2); -- and a whole shitload of illicitly leaked...

It's a two-axis thing. Waterfalls of acid, slowly flowing ever west as they etch the copper sky. The moon is the gleaming eye of a night-black cyclopean turtle, closing in on the world to take vengeance on God for destroying the Pheonix King's world tree. Everyone can plane shift at will, but...

Exactly. One minute is time enough for the kobolds on the other side of that door to regroup, get their armor on, draw their weapons, maybe kick a table over for some makeshift barricades. Ten minutes is enough time for the kobolds to do all that, then brew a soothing cup of tea and enjoy a few...

Oh, indeed. I've got a stting I want to play in which belief really is the driving force for many gods, and this is causing them to fracture in increasingly freaky ways as the Celtic- and Mesoamerican-analogue myths are being simultaneously assimilated and stomped out by the Christianity...

Deity power is not that strongly linked to number of worshippers, I don't think. The gods existed long before mortals did; faith may be a power source, but I would hardly call it the defining one. The Raven Queen doesn't give a damn what you think, as long as you don't start stitching Blaspheme...

Agreed, though I say this as a lurker only. I have discovered the secret of life, and it is this: Don't Let It Get You Down.

I like this one a lot, and wish once more I ran a higher level game. I have gotten to run one game with an undead black dragon that, when bloodied, decohered into: 1) a great big animate hurricane of jagged scales, lashing at adventurers with barbed whips of dragonskin; 2) a Phalagar-derived...

More than that, each feat works completely intuitively if all you have is that one feat and familiarity with the PHB1. Okay, with one possible exception; any of the multiclassing feats could need a line like "it's like Acolyte Power for whip users." But that's really all there is to it.

Heh. I would flip that around, myself; it takes long practice to master a combat maneuver, even if you know exactly how it's done, but once you've read the Liber Darkmagicantulacorum the eldritch secrets contained therein are applicable right away. Well, okay, I could see divine casters...

Bam!

Don't forget the Shadar-Kai article, both undead-related articles, and the Dhampyr article, none of which focused even a little bit on Martial classes. I would expect to see other power sources get more love around the releases of Arcane, Divine, and Primal Power. Remember, we only got the...

Feats? No. Thank god. I personally would despise such official incentives for fluff specialization. The biggest thing about the druid, shaman, and warden now? The thing I really, really love? The way you can decide for yourself what your wildshapes, forms, and spirit look like. I don't want a...

20. And Man asked unto Him also, Why dost Thou worry still? Have I not responded unto Thou; have I not answered Thy concerns? 21. Truly, by my art, the Sorcerer bypasses the Warlock in no wise. 22. Or if Thy maths disprove my claim, I would amend it thus: 23. The Sorcerer does best the...

Justin Alexander wrote a long and good essay on this, called the Three Clue Rule. I'll post the opening section here: Mystery scenarios for roleplaying games have earned a reputation for turning into unmitigated disasters: The PCs will end up veering wildly off-course or failing...

No.

Assuming you have a letter of marque from the Raven Queen or something that allows you to resurrect creatures that don't have a Glorious Destiny. But if you have that, I think you could find more profitable sources of income...? :angel:

WotC explicitly encouraged people to take those photos. They're more legit than anything else in this entire thread. Link away.

Be thou enlightened!

Anyway, on to your actual topic. :angel: In Amber cosmology, the heart of the universe is the Pattern (or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that the Pattern is the heart of the universe, considering the causal nature of... well, anyway). Outside of the universe, on the fringes, you get...

Ech. I never liked the second-series Courts anyway. They were just too... ordinary. To get to them, you have to pass through all these nightmarish abysscapes and technicolor skies and guardian-beasts literally beyond imagining... but when you get there, what do you find? Lycanthropic cousins...
