    D&D 4E What 4E class do you most want to try out?

    Paladin man since 2nd edition. Hopefully I'll still be a Paladin man in 4th edition.

    Condition track - wishful thinking, rumor or confirmed?

    God, I hope so! While Bloodied is nice, I really hope there's more to it then just that. We've heard that certain abilities become available when you're Bloodied, so it's possible that that's the reason that's the only condition we've heard of so far. Could be that the other conditions don't get...

    DDM Preview 6 Cyclops

    Usually I'd agree. But with the way they're talking about "exceptions based rules" for monsters, I'm hoping we'll see a couple monsters who have called shot rules just for them. For instance, it'd be nice if the Cyclops had a rule that states that a PC can attempt to strike its eye. If they...

    Scott Rouse blog - Rogue ability

    I don't know about mmu1, but for me, it isn't the part about serving as a meatshield for other classes that bothers me. It's the part where the tank class also has to be completely impotent offensively. In City of Heroes, for instance, they've got the Tankers who do just that. They soak up...

    Read the rest of the sentence. If he's not talking about movement, then what else could he possibly be talking about?

    Scott Rouse blog - Rogue ability

    Sounds like he ended up getting 'Bloodied', and as a result, gained an ability to execute a combat maneuver which also gave him a movement of 3 squares (15 ft). Sounds cool. I may be wrong about the requirement that you have to be Bloodied, first. But at the very least, it looks like Rogues will...

    Corebooks in June!: News from the Alliance Retailer Summit

    That's assuming most people won't buy them all when they come out. Odds are, it'll be the exact opposite, and most people will buy all three books together. I know I'll be getting them all together, and I'm ecstatic about the news that they'll be released together. The whole "one book per month"...

    All three in June. Sweet. That'll make for a happy birthday for me. :D

    Seriously? Wow. Where do I send in my application?

    D&D 4E I'm really confused on the new 4e defenses...

    Nevermind that now there's a reason to ambush clumsy opponents. No real benefit to catching an opponent flatfooted when their Dex is only 10. Granting an attack bonus, though, rather then negating the opponents Dex bonus, means that it's equally advantageous jumping clumsy opponents along with...

    The Core Mechanic: New Design and Development

    Well, considering that monsters will be coming in different roles, now, it's likely that a pack of monsters won't all have the same stats. Even if they're all members of the same race. So when encountering, say, six Orcs, they won't all be Orc Warriors with identical stats. Instead there'll be...

    D&D 4E I'm really confused on the new 4e defenses...

    That sentence is a bit confusing, but it sounds to me like when someone's caught flatfooted, they don't lose their Dex bonus to AC. Instead, the attacker gets some kind of bonus on his attack. So the Armor Class remains the same no matter what, and the Dex bonus counts towards it even when...

    New Podcast Posted!

    They're not travelling together. The Owlbear's running around the forest doing its thing, and the werewolf is following it, and so are the Quickling and the Satyr. They only make their presence known when the Owlbear attacks something, at which point they swoop in and try to grab whatever...

    The 4th edition class list so far

    My guess is that Feats will be more like Saga. I.E. You'll get a Feat at 1st level, 3rd level, and every three levels thereafter as normal, and you'll also get a Feat for every even level in the class you're advancing in. As for Talents, if they don't work as they do in D20 Modern or Star...

    Design and Development: Cosmology

    The Shadowfell reminds me of the Shadow World from Birthright.

    Quick question about Neverwinter Nights 2

    I'm playing a Paladin/Divine Champion at the moment, and only now, after advancing four levels as a Divine Champion, wearing Divine Champion armor the whole time, did I realize that the armor came with its own helmet and cloak. So my question is this: Is there any way to get the benefits of a...

    Warforged: Like them or loathe them?

    I like Warforged, but there's no way in hell that they should be core, as they're specific to a single campaign setting. Core races should include races and classes that you'd find in most settings. Warforged, however, assuming they even exist outside of Eberron, would be much rarer. So yeah...

    How do Saga skills work?

    +13, actually. You get a +1 to your skill checks for every two levels. So the bonus only increases at 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 12th, etc, levels.
