To define your character in 4e, without involving actual mechanical choices (abilities, feats, powers, gear, etc), we have: race class background theme build paragon path epic destiny Now, let's rename these choices as "list #1", "list #2", etc... Even if you consider only heroic, that's...

You mean, like: "open book, play dragonborn" ? :devil:

Well, that wasn't a Design & Development article, nor a 5e Preview, so I wouldn't be so quick to expect a real discussion of the new system. Just saying... :hmm:

It's too anime.

I somehow think that we won't see a lingering wounds system because of the "catering to players of all editions" mentality. For better or worse, I can't tell.

Yeah, I figured that. It's just the completionist in me that took control over the keyboard here ;)

The skirmisher, lurker and artillery Speed entry is missing. Strange thing is never check the numbers when anyone posts a statblock. :p I suppose Leaders and Controllers should not be so generic, but...:angel:

I must spread some XP, otherwise I'd give you 3. Hey, that rhymes! :)

A lot of people mentioned both XP and Levels, which to me are probably the same things. Some groups (as in mine, at least) didn't care about tracking XP, and leveled after an adventure and important plot points. Though that can also be categorized as doing math on your head I suppose...

If you don't bother all the cutting, folding and gluing chores of Print-n-Play, take a look at Dungeon Plungin: Dungeon Plungin' | Board Game | BoardGameGeek

You know, I actually like "Fanático", despite the religious fervor it implies. It reminds me of Juggernaut, from the X-Men, which is part defender (super armor) and part striker (super strength).

I like iconics too. I'm glad to hear they are "back" with HoFL et al. I wish they were released as ready to play 1st level characters, with those cool Encounter character sheets... [off-topic] Actually, I never understood why they didn't go this route with the Heroes miniature line (may it...

That's fair. It might just take some getting used to it. As for all the shade and shadow discussion, I'm surprised you didn't list "sombria". Or maybe my [speed reading while the boss is looking elsewhere] missed it... :P

"Sabremante" is quite exotic! :D I like it, though I'm not sure I'd use it... I might daze the players. xD I asked for dungeon tiles because I like the new boardgames and never saw anyone coin that word right. 'Placa', 'Bloco' and 'Ladrilho' don't sound nice in my head, and I don't want to...

Unwise: "Bound" could be "Ligado" or "Obrigado" which are both horrible, as they are the same words for "On" (as in the computer is On/Off) and "thank you", respectively. Another option would be "Compelido" (compelled?, forced), which doesn't really sound good, IMO. "Preso", which is like...

:eek: dood! this is AWESOME!!! I have no idea where to use it, but I love it! (Well, actually, this would be fun to use as magic writing on some game props...) Thank you for sharing! :)

I got on Beta as well, and I'm loving it. I mean, it's D&D turn-based combat on a grid? :D I can't for the life of me believe the "always hit" is a feature of the game instead of a bug. Maybe it's an "experiment". And I think most beta testers were eloquent enough about their dislike, and we...

I didn't know either, but they are on the Daggerdale videogame. Which is probably why they are doing this article.

What if you left OAs the way they are, but only for Defenders and Soldiers? They are trainned to do just that, after all. Other roles would be restricted to an immediate interrupt. As an option, if the rogue or the cleric want to "hold the line", have them ready an action, or begin a stance...

I like it. But you'd probably have to double or triple the components cost, because like the OP said, it becomes almost trivial pocket change by epic tier... maybe even more than that, if you are allowing ritual usage with no feat requirement (reasoning is more theme than crunck, IMO). Another...
