With a decent wizard build you can easily roll for 1000lbs on the disc at first level. 1 foot off the ground, 10 minutes to cast, 10gp to cast it. You trade your 6 square move for a 5 square floating move. Other than crossing a large pit when no rope, teleport, thief, or other mean of...

I don't understand the concern about racial feats for the races in MM. There are only 3-4 feats per race in the PH anyway. Some of them are totally useless. Skipping the racials or coming up with a few that are on par with those in the PH should be easy. Just so you know, I think Goblins and...

Unfortunately that's not possible. That would put the FLGS out-of-business faster than you think. Spending thousands of dollars on books that customers might buy is disastrous for small shops. B&N and Borders don't even do that. The profit margin for FLGSs is typically so small that they're only...

According to sources the half-elf is the multi-classing giant. But from what we know already, they only get a free MC feat that grants a replacement at-will power. Big deal. The human gets a free feat (pick MC) and an extra at-will slot so he can add his MC at-will power to his arsenal rather...

Gimme a banner ad for Keep on the Shadowfell at the top or the side. Not both! Twice the module. Twice the Tiefling. Twice the yoinking! This madness must end. The end is nigh! <Runs screaming into the ether>

Fighters get reliable powers. That makes up for the elf ability. I think you nailed it with the dwarf though. Lots o monsters force move, dwarves not so much.

According to KotS, humans get an extra at-will, an extra feat, and an extra trained skill. That's a bit much considering they also get +1 to all their non-AC defenses, and a bonus to two abilities. Damn. Anyone else think that's a bit out of whack?

You want holy smack down? Go protection AoE grind spec. There's nothing like ending a fight with 6-10 mobs with full health and mana. Talk about power leveling, sheesh. And as for striker paladins, you can't. They're defenders. I don't know why people think you can make a class into something...

What the hell? Keep on the Shadowfell is set to release May 20th according to Amazon and Powells. Just two weeks before the full release of 4th edition? Wow. You might as well not buy the adventure. For most groups that amounts to 1-2 games tops between them. I'm saving the cash and skipping the...

Considering how far afield 4e is going (cultural historical accuracy and all that), there's no reason the barbarian wouldn't be illiterate. Considering it was a Latin word to describe non-Romans, there's no illiteracy test to be a barbarian. You just can't be a Roman. Illiterate barbarians is...

I really hope your FLGS that hands out those discounts talks to my not so Friendly LGS, cause they're selling for full price, always have, always will. You can't complain about FLGSs going out of business when they refuse to compete price-wise. The only reason I'm considering buying it at full...

Unless divine challenge specifically stipulates engaging the target at melee range, no, this character would not have to close to melee range. As eyebite causes damage, you're attacking them, which is engaging the target. Besides, eyebite makes you invisible, reducing the chance of being hit...

That looks great. Good luck.

Even if it's a mongrelized version of triple-classing, I'd love to play a half-elf fighter/magic-user/thief. But, with the ability to multi-class again instead of a paragon path, that's potentially four classes for the half-elf. That can't be right. Or maybe the half-elf is the only race who...

This. Although, something more than a house rule to limit power use would be nice. Some M&M games I've played in the players do exactly what was described (just blast the hell out of something until it drops, without any creativity or variety).

Only a potion of awesome.

I am an editor too. It doesn't drive me mad.

I so want to see that in your next book. English teacher in college. Teacher of grad students. Like him...

Lame. Why don't you just post links to all the excerpts that will come out until the release. You can scoop 'em all. They're released every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, just find the dates. You've got the naming conventions for the link, go ahead.

The only flaw in your logic is that if a word appears a few times with the wrong spelling, that's a typographical error. If it appears consistently, in many books, across companies, across platforms, across editions, that's no longer a mistake, that's intentional by a whole lot of really smart...
