I'd have to disagree: Leap Attack is a *bad* name--it's name has zilch to do with charging at all. (Something like Mighty Charge would be better). But the general principle holds: feat names ought to be at least related to what the feat does; Power Attack, Dodge, Precise Shot -> good! Voice of...

It's worth noting that the Wyrmling Copper Dragon in 3.5 is just CR 3 (advancing to 5, 7, 9, 11, etc.). A 2nd level party beating a CR3 isn't terribly remarkable; a 5 would be tough, but feasible. And supposedly the level range of acceptable encounters is wider in 4e, too.

Maybe they'll do both: Rogues can gain the ability to use items without meeting prerequisites, but there will be a skill check involved--and that skill will differ by power source (Arcane, Religion, etc.).

Huh! Well, I can sort of see how that would work; the phylactry isn't where the lich's soul is--it's sort of a private, 1-soul 'afterlife'. I'd prefer that it actually *be* the lich's soul, rather than a hidy-hole for it, but that works well enough I guess. And if it's irreplacable (and you...

Propose to offer it to the god of Rust Monsters? Offer to toss it into the Positive Material Plane? Make it a sacrifice to a deity of pacifism? Sell it to Moradin?

I believe the Israelis already have a point-defense system for military vehicles to stop RPGs with. Also, a unit of power armor troops moving in a dispersed formation would make IEDs much less effective (because you'd have fewer troopers in the blast). My bet is that this gets used first in...

Well, just because an adventure interpreted it as doing no harm to the lich doesn't make it part of the rules; I don't know of anything in the RAW that says one way or the other. If it would ruin the adventure, then it's not a good idea to have it work that way--I just think it ought to. And...

Hmm, Humans == Plains + Horses? I wonder if an (implied) human ability is the ability to domesticate (as opposed to enslave or ally with) creatures? That'd be an interesting idea...

Buy enough acid to immerse it (10d6 damage/round). At 10 gp/flask of acid, you may have to shell out 200-300gp to immerse it (it's as big as a cat!). That's still quite cheap, though. I don't think the rules actually cover what happens if the lich is still active when the phylactry is...

Is that actually armor, or just a bunch of Dwarven Bling? ;) I hadn't actually noticed that--thanks for pointing it out.

Legend of Black Heaven ( "Hard Rock will Save the Space" ) is pretty decent, but not quite as exciting as you'd expect. It's more of a story than a Hard Rock Action thing. Good for a rental, I'd say...

Well sure: but if you want a language a Druid can 'speak' in any wildshaped form, it's got to be pretty simple (hence my suggestion!).

I guess they could devise a morse code like language, based on shimmying back and forth; fast and slow shimmys for dots and dashes? I'd say that just about anything with a physical body could do *that*. Even if they'd look really silly... :D

There you go. And I've had fun communicating while in wild shape before: including 'explaining' a plan to another character, while I was a giant snake. By gesturing with 1 arm (as if my arm was the snake...) Good Times!

I hope not, 'cause the first thing that would happen to my characters is that they'd get co-opted as a light source... And I do think this largely rules out Drow (works for me!). I'm hoping for some kind of Draconic People...

Note that a SW Saga character, advanced from 1st to 14th, would pick 13 items (half talents, half class feats) and 4 every-3-level type feats. Or 17 items. (not counting the +1 to 2 stats thing).

WHAT That's just...nuts! Please tell me that this feat isn't typical of Lost Empires of Faerûn...because that's just insane. And (to be on-topic): Penalizing summoners by xp division is ridiculous. If Greenbound Screwmoner is the problem, the Druid ought to swap that for something not absurdly...

Imnsho The way I see them, the 4 roles are abstract statements about what a class focuses on. It doesn't limit a class, and a particular class will probably be able to do something in each category (they'll just be better at their role than any other). Also, I suspect (rather strongly!) that...

If reading from a screen is hard on your eyes, I'd recommend getting an LCD monitor and putting a lamp behind it; I backlight my flat panels with 90W-equivalent CFL lamps, and it makes them far easier on the eyes. Also, Adobe Reader's full screen mode is much clearer than the regular mode...

For that matter, when Logan said '8!' the PHB hadn't been finished, even for the playtest! They may have been aiming at 8, but if the pagecount worked out right they'd add more. Or perhaps some other section of the rules has been slimmed down enough to add a class. Who knows?
