Yes, I have no frickin clue what Shemeska is talking about, except that it's Planescape style "Gods aren't particularly powerful in the scheme of things" fluff, which like much of the rest of Planescape fluff is incredibly interesting, but becames unintuative, contradictory, and very intrusive...

I'm pretty sure most of us didn't figure it out untill about half way through, so your in good company :)

<Pet Peeve>High Magic and High Fantasy are not synonyms</Pet Peeve> Since I'm here, I'll see what random knowledge I can spew. Fast and Loose does sound like the style they're pushing for in 4e. As for "only a few additional books", we can't really tell, some people would argue that 4e will be...

Some of the details look a bit wierd, but it certainly feels like some sort of abyss-spawned abomination. I approve. -Edit, wait, is that a mullet?

You can use those abilities out of combat, so this does nothing?

3.x Bards are silly and annoying but the 4e fluff for Bards looks interesting enough that I'm willing to give it a try.

4e has more detailed rules for xp from non-combat than 3.x (Quests). 4e has more rules for non-combat encounters (skill challenges) and nothing stops you from using skills exactly like 3.x. 4e has an entire non-combat magic system, and has put a lot of effort into making it easier for all types...

Tyreal was the most awesome Angel ever, these are good, but they aren't that good.

Oh, that's why the face looks wierd, I was looking at it wrong, yeah, that makes much more sense.

One of problems with 3.x is that the Defender is supposed to be The Deteminator, which is an incredibly common anime trope, but it didn't really work higher level in 3.5 as divine casters stole their schtik. 4e Seems to be giving it back it back a bit. On a completely different note, regarding...

1) They're tough as hell. Being "that guy who just won't die" is fun. 2) Wizards & rogues are tricksy and underhanded, Defenders are honest, straigtforward and dependable. 3) Defenders in 4e are not just "meatshields", the example Fighter in particular and the Paladin too have some of the...

Considering monsters (and thus PCs) scale slower and encounters are balanced with the base assumption of one monster of appropriate level for each PC, as opposed to one monster of appropriate level for the party, I personally would expect it to be easier to have more diverse levels, but there...

Thing is, you're going to want to take skill training arcana and Ritual Casting as well to get the feel of "fighter-wizard", and doing this kind thing is going to require even more feats if you start with Wizard, since things like hp and armour prof are a large part of the Fighter class, so...

I think you missed the important part of the post which pointed out that the ability was a daily, and thus could not be "spammed" in any sense of the word. The only similar at will power we've seen give temporary hp, not healing, so it may not end up a huge problem.

I really like the idea of a lot of the powers, they "feel" a lot more like abilities powered off belief than just spells cast by someone who believes in a god, I like the idea that attacking someone (with a sword or with Holy Light) is part of the prayer, and that missing your attack roll means...

Man, stupid animal-noun names

Because the second one is 3d8 + 3 higher, and 3d8 is close to what sneak attack would be at that level

Heh, it's possible, but unlikely.

Well, enemy is subset of creature, so that doesn't actually do anything. But yes, since I don't want Galahad the pure to be able to heal people by killing puppies, I don't intend to allow this either.

Yeah, "I'm a monster, Rhar!!" is my favourite gnome. This artworks fine, but it doesn't make me want to play one or include them in my game, maybe the fluff will help.
