the sword in a circle is a basic melee attack, the one that will be used for things like opportunity attacks. The other swords are normal melee attacks you can use on your own turn. Also note that there's only Imediate, Move and Attack Action (no swift, full round). I also have my hopes on...

Well, that's interesting. They could go bothways. The power and status of a god could come from the amount of souls he collects. His devoted worshipers go to his realm, enforcing his power, so the deity needs clerics and churches to convert the masses: the more, ther merrier. We could have gods...

Well, I'm acutally puzzled by all this - I really can't grasp anything law-related :( So, what are we talking about here? They've said that there will be a 4E SRD, but it will be less 'generous' than the 3E SRD. What does that mean? I suppose as long as there's an SRD doc/rtf/pdf file to...

Good call on the Spined Devil! I didn't remember that it does have Resist Fire 20. More than a red dragon!?! Maybe it's a misprint (the Non-Oficial Errata said that the Spined Devil got out before they made the final adjustments - though I still think that meant text formating), or maybe its...

Perhaps: DEF = (Fort + Ref + Will) /3 where: Fort = 10 + half level + Con mod + class Fort bonus Ref = 10 + half level + Dex mod + class Ref bonus Will = 10 + half level + Wis mod + class Will bonus Maybe each class gives a bonus to each Defense at each level tier, otherwise it's a...

Awesome indeed! :) I also liked the 'cascading, intuitive style' of at-will powers. I suppose that'll be happening for PCs as well (so it won't bog the game with 30 levels and something shiny at each: the power list would be huge!)

I liked it as well. :) Also, loved the way they folded Fort/Ref/Will into one single Defense: each mini has only one Defense score, but each attack describes wich Defense it targets (like 'vs DEF(Fort)'), and some creatures have abilities that give them bonuses to Defense against Fort, Ref or...

and there's already an errata: http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?p=14845128 what the?!? :confused:

Just like "elementals -- those beings of the four elements that exist so people can summon them and put them in dungeons -- still exist in 4th Edition." (from the Ecology of the Fire Archon article), only there's also something new in the books: you can still make D&D play as your old regular...

AFAIK, in witchcraft, there's the Book of Shadows, the spellbook equivalent, that is more like a journal with all bits of information the witch gathers in her lifetime, like dreams, things that she learned about the world, memories, stories she heard, but also the properties of herbs and...

I liked the fluff. Also, have you noticed the bit about noble eladrin and their loyalty stuff? I've been wondering wheter a character can make a pact with a powerfull eladrin noble to become a warlock. This would be the fey pact, of course, and would probably work really well for a party of...

Well, I just have to say that's a very nice picture, Klaus! You made me start considering playing a gnome for the first time ever. Thank you. :)

I guess it IS funny because I could not in a million years believe they would choose to that way, i.e. portraying the gnome like that. I always like when people go over the edge in unusual ways... But it was freaking hilarious - not the tiefling killing him and taking his stuff (although that...

Well, perhaps not the leader of the adventuring party, but clerics and priests are supposed to be leader of the masses, guiding people spiritualy. They could guide the party, but not necessarily through commands in battle, but rather in the moral/ethics/spiritual sense. The warlord, OTOH, is a...

What he said!

Tanis! He's been my model of warlord. Coming to think about it, Hank from D&D cartoon is a warlord too.

well, you can send it to me then... It appears O'Santa wants me have them all: "Because you were nice, inside your stocking you find; a wand of light, and a wand of light." I got two of them! :uhoh:

Seriously, I never tracked stuff roundbyround unless it lasted up to 5 rounds... good ridance! let come the concept of the 'scene'! :p

One of the earliest playtests talked about how easy it was to change monsters into something else... I guess you'll be able to slap an ability/power into any monster statblock and calculate it's CR/Level/XP award according to the level of the ability/power. Maybe swaping powers of similar level...

:D Oooooo, this is much better! Now, if we could only convince them to change the PHB cover (the DM screen would be the best of the bunch, IMO). It's Dungeons & Dragons, not Hallways & Horns. :\ The DMG cover is fantastic, though.
