First instance of internet sarcasm I've been able to see! Yay! The basic 'rule' is that for each time you roll a d20, you expend an arrow/bolt/dagger/shuriken/axe/hammer.

Anyone having problems logging into the D&D site? I keep getting timed out by the server. =/

Yup, there's no size limits to forced movement. That said, it is a reduced effect against larger creatures. If you can push a creature 3 squares, that's 300% for medium, but only 75% for Gargantuan. Also, in order to fall or anything, the whole creature must be pushed off the cliff, etc.

Yes, the ability is powerful. So is Orcus. During the fight with him and his horde of undead, any Ranger with a history of pulling this off will most likely be singled out. The options Orcus has, outside of undead horde: Wand of Orcus: 3d12+12 that cause target to be weakened (half damage...

Lava isn't mentioned anywhere as being insta-kill in the core books. That said, I'm thinking something along the lines of 5d10/round, and it counts as difficult terrain.

It says you can take an at-will power. While this might be taken to mean "Any power that can be used at-will," it means the four at-will powers that each class can choose from. For example: You can't take Mage hand, Lay on Hands, Divine Challenge, etc. etc. I mean, you don't even get those...

I really haven't decided yet. On the quiet side: There's a good chance that the player's will have no idea what's going on. On the loud side: "Welcome to the Escape Skill Challenge! Come on down and roll us some DC 17 checks!" Maybe that's a bit extreme, but that's what I imagine happening...

It's intended I'm sure. But look for the 4E equivalent of Weapon Finesse in the new Martial book.

You can occupy one of the squares the gate is in without going to the other gate. It has to be a voluntary action.

What I plan on doing is just looking at the creature it's based on and taking average damage. Odd that there are no minion rules in DMG...or swarms... *cry*

At first I was going to prove you wrong... but all of them require a style of fighting the feat doesn't give you. So when's the next version of the Ranger multiclass feat? I think we may have a leader in "Most Errataed thing in 4E!" Polymorph beware...

The 2 page art spreads are absolutely amazing. They also make it really easy to pick out chapters. The thing I'm still trying to get used to is not having a background. It does look a lot neater, but it's almost got a hospital feel. Other than hospitals, the only art I actively dislike is...

A wizard starts out proficient with cloth armor (everyone wears clothes, right). Armor is now a feat tree. To climb, you spend one feat. Cloth-> Leather-> Hide -> Scale -> Plate Note: Chainmail still exists, it branches off of leather or hide. A wizard wearing plate armor would have +8 AC...

Decking out your mage in full plate is probably a bad idea. With light armor, you can add your Dex or Int to AC. Can't do that with Heavy Armor. Oh, and 4-6 feats. Other than that, there's no downside to wearing armor. As for what book: Everything the player will need is in the PHB.

Thank you for coming up with the house rule in the first place. ;) Not that I'll ever get to use it. If it's ugly enough, my party kills it. :(

Magic Item Creation is handled by a single ritual now. You pay the gold, do the ritual, get the item. Also, the #1 thing stopping a wizard from running up to the front line blasting: He will get creamed. Wizards are no longer the walking tanks they used to be.

Ah, I didn't forget about it, I just thought that was self-explanatory by now. By "New," I meant changed since the preview.

I think you might have figured it out, but you get the at-will power. You do not get the Pact Boon from the multiclass feat.

Back in the day, with the Critical Hits preview it was said that a natural 20 is a critical, end of story. Now, Critical Hits have changed a tad bit. A natural 20 is still an automatic hit, but it's only a critical if your overall attack would beat the defense you're attacking. So basically...

There aren't any. At all.
