Ugh, I forgot Torog, Moradin, and Tiamat, I must be slipping. Since we are listing evil deities, Zehir, Tharizdun, and Asmodeus also make that list. So the list looks something like: Asmodeus Avandra Bahamut Bane Corellon Erathis Gruumsh Ioun Kord Lolth Melora Moradin Pelor Raven Queen...

Sehanine is also a 4e deity from previous editions. In addition to these deities, 4e added Avandra, Erathis, Ioun, Melora, and the Raven Queen into the mix.

The Rituals Index article is up (behind the DDI paywall). My first comment, based on a very shallow skim, is WOW, there are a lot of rituals. The article is 22 pages long -- 13 pages are devoted to a list of rituals broken down by category and level (and include key skill, component cost...

For damage, I would go higher. Make it 3 dice for level 3 and 7, 4 dice in paragon, 5 dice in epic. Maybe make the progression steeper for strikers. For daily powers, I might start at 3 dice and step it up 1 die each time, so you max out at 9 dice. Perhaps even more -- frankly, a 4 dice...

I think he means that, since Essentials (but really since PHB3) classes no longer have to fit in the At-will/Encounter/Daily/Utility power model or the charts for number of powers and the levels at which they are acquired (as originally published in PHB1). For example, some Essentials classes...

I actually compiled this list because I was developing a Primordial Pact warlock -- both for my home game and potentially (at least the powers and such) for submission to Dragon. I never completed it, but I find the names of the primordials and the little tidbits scattered through the books...

If you want to go with a higher level monster, you can apply some permanent conditions to the giant. Maybe the giant has a penalty to attack rolls and is always granting combat advantage because he is blinded in one eye, or has been hamstrung and thus limps (half move, no shifting). Add in...

I think The Plane Above and Monster Manual 3 have several more pieces of information. In a way, it is kind of fun tracking down the info, sort of an investigation or mystery. I don't think I have read anything outright contradictory yet, but since the info pertains to the Dawn War, which...

Wasn't Kalarel the name of the BBEG from Keep on the Shadowfell?

I think they'd go really well with the Strongholds article from Dragon 395. In a PBP game I ran, the PCs defeated an eladrin traitor and were granted his tower in a Feywild city. As part of the tower, I had a few lair items in the traitor's personal treasure cache. Unfortunately the PCs never...

Here is a list of most of the primordials named in official 4e products: [4th] Canon Primordial Names? There are some holes and missing information (Tmesus is the Black Star, Zurtharak is called the Vein in Iron I think, stuff like that), but it is a good start. EDIT: Here is a list I put...

The originals were introduced in PHB2. Versatile Expertise was introduced in PHB3. The very specific (and better) versions of the Expertise feats are found in Heroes of the Fallen Lands, Heroes of the Forgotten Kingdoms, and Heroes of Shadow.

The "math fix" feats people refer to are feats that resulted when the designers realized that PC attack bonuses were lagging behind high paragon and particularly epic monster defenses, and that PC non-AC defenses were falling behind epic monster attack bonuses. The Expertise feats (Weapon...

What about wizard multiclassed into artificer? Good ability score synergy, strong arcane theme.

I'd love to see a leader that breaks out of the healing word mode a little bit, and a controller that has robust class features that grant it controller effects, rather than relying mainly on the powers themselves. I think striker is a fairly easy role to default to, so when a class concept is...

I thought Specter's Shield is pretty buff -- give an enemy a penalty to all defenses equal to the paladin's Charisma modifier? That just screams action point nova craziness.

The Unearthed Arcana article "Strange Gods" has been posted (DDI subscribers only): Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Article (Strange Gods) Highlights: a lot of fluff about fickle, remote, or alien gods rolling a d20 each day to determine the strength of your...

Do I have sweet achievements or phat lootz? Yes to achievements, no to gear.

Indeed, I think the PHB1, for all its warts, still produced five of the most potent classes (and their associated powers) in the game: fighter, rogue, ranger, warlord, and wizard.
