In my IH game, I've abstracted weapons and armor for customization purposes and it's worked out rather well. Armor is broken down by weight (Very Light, Light, Medium, Heavy & Very Heavy) and weapons by size (Very Small, Small, One-Handed, Two-Handed), type (Bludgeoning, Piercing, Slashing) and...

A little over a year ago a started a thread called "Dragon... have we lost the icon?" http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=3004737&postcount=1 http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=3006315&postcount=43 So naturally I'm very pleased with the direction WotC seems to be taking with them now...

Well I think it goes without saying I hope it's something along these lines. Maybe someone at WotC will chime in at some point...

If you look at the names of the images they are all labelled "/dnd/images/4e/" so I presume they must be... Unless they're placeholder images of some sort or just made for this article?

While certainly not my biggest concern, the latest Des & Dev articles have showcased more and more art from the 4e MM. I was expecting that for a new edition that WotC would go out of their way to commission absolutely the best art possible. Something that would blow the previous generation away...

I like Shadowfell, but Feywild... no. It doesn't even really come across as a place-name. My alts would be (and keeping it simple, like the rest of their names)... The Dreamlands - would be my no. 1 choice. Arboria - would be my no. 2 choice. The Wyrd - sound fae-ish. The Fey Realm - although...

It's interesting, I do like what they're trying to achieve with creating greater distinction between the fiend camps, but I'll tell you right now it's not going to get me to change my campaign's cosmology.

I'll also echo the sentiment that Warforged should remain as an Eberron race and not moved into core.

I wonder if 4e's "Action Points" are going to be similar to IH's "Tokens" and be used to activate certain class features...

Very good thread, lots of problematic areas I agree with here. The high level death & resurrection merry-go-round is probably my biggest pet peeve from a DM/campaign POV. When death merely becomes... inconvenient, something important is lost IMO. Remove the Save or Die spells and in general...

Warlord is a great name... but maybe not so much for a core class. It sounds more like a Prestige Class and feels almost pretentious alongside the "fighter", "rogue" or "ranger"... Personally, I would have rather had the fighter become the "warrior" and the warlord become something else -...

Indeed. :cool:

Actually, GH's civilized populations (as well as standing armies and HL heroes) are downright puny compared to FR so I never imagined them controlling much beyond their immediate areas...

LOL! This is why no one ever pimps cleric duels... :lol:

I've never really taken much notice of the core books "flavor text", but this philosophy could affect a number of rules in the DMG - demographics, economy, encounter tables and so on. Actually, their "new" philosophy has much in common with my IH game world (disparate, loosely organized...

I'm going to have to find that one again, I can only vaguely recall it...

While that's all well and good (and sounds interesting) - what does that have to do with... anything? Is WotC suddenly going to change all their campaign settings in 4e to follow this style? Is a new setting on the way to highlight this new philosophy? Are they expecting people who play their...

Keep in mind that straight damage is still "save or die" or even "save and die" for powerful beings vs lesser ones. The mighty HL Necromancer can still kill 99% of the general populace with a single spell, powerful Illusionists still kill with their powers and so on but when it's a battle...

Personally, I'd rather see all the Save or Die effects stripped away. While yes it can be fun for some players to take down the BBEBoss with a single strike it is not so fun for the DM who carefully set up the final epic battle over the last two months of playing. And it's not fun for the...

Been a while UK! Well, this is precisely it. I distinctly remember cringing when I first saw Graz'zt at CR 24 and wondered why the Lower Planes weren't simply run by dragons. :\
