  1. The Little Raven

    November 16th release for Web-based Character Builder

    The character sheet viewer is actually a separate application. If the export function (when implemented) is in the same format, you should be able to use it offline to track your character.

    Slayer build sillyness

    This is wrong. At 2nd level, I can have a Str/Dex combo that has a +11 to AC and 2d6+9 damage (brutal 1) on a regular unmodified melee basic attack. Two slayers, one Half-Orc and one Human, with the same starting array (18,14,11,10,10,8). Half-Orc Slayer - 20 Str / 16 Dex 1 5/3 = 8 4 5/3 = 8 8...

    The Hexblade (Essentials Warlock) is up!

    I would rule that it does, since it's a weapon that has the property that it acts as a warlock implement, which to me would suggest it counts at both at the same time.

    Essentially Eberron

    There's a whole lot of player-oriented fluff in the PG that is pretty key to helping a player understand their place in Eberron.

    An idea for DMG 3 (make it happen, WotC!)

    There was never any claim that DMG3 would be in trade paperback format. In fact, since there are still hardcover books coming out next year (Mordenkainen's Magnificent Emporium, Champions of the Heroic Tier), the immediate assumption that it would change to that format is a massive jump to...

    Kill the Messengers... Thanks WotC!

    The only way to get Encounters adventures is to attend Encounters and to DM the game. If they made it freely available on their site, that would undermine the purpose of Encounters: getting people into the game stores to help build community. I highly doubt we'll see that happen.

    The Hexblade (Essentials Warlock) is up!

    DIS requires two magic implements, and the created pact blade is not a magic implement. AIP might make it an implement, but it doesn't make it a magic implement, especially in light of the explicit statement that the pact blade cannot be enchanted (and thus, cannot be made into a magic weapon or...

    The Hexblade (Essentials Warlock) is up!

    This only works if the weapliment counts as a magic implement. As it draws on the implement's enhancement bonus and properties, I would say it does not count, especially since it says that the weapon cannot be enchanted.

    The Hexblade (Essentials Warlock) is up!

    It looks like they have improvements to their pact weapon class feature at levels where they normally get an encounter power. These might include new pact-specific encounter powers.

    Essentials are melee heavy

    Why is there debate? It's pretty clear.

    Humor: What happened during the podcast?

    "Mr. Mearls, the country is under attack."

    Slayer build sillyness

    You can start out with higher damage and widen the gap at higher levels by being a Str/Dex Slayer and picking Half-Orc. The Melee Training slayer isn't the best damage output if that's what you're interested it.

    Weem's Condition Cards v2!!

    Nice work. You seem to be missing one condition. Removed From Play - Some effects can temporarily remove you from play. While you are removed from play, your turns start and end as normal, but you can’t take actions, unless specified otherwise. In addition, you have neither line of sight nor...

    D&D 4E Is Essentials Compatible with Old School 4ed?

    Dice4Hire seems to be using "compatible" when he really means "interchangeable." Compatibility is the ability for two (or more) things to exist together in harmony. The Essentials classes are fully capable of existing in harmony in a party with non-Essentials classes. Interchangeability is...

    Welcome to noobville: Tide of Iron Question

    Completely. Noob. But anyway, since it doesn't specify a number of squares shifted, I wouldn't apply the double movement penalty for difficult terrain.

    D&D 4E Is Essentials Compatible with Old School 4ed?

    Yes, 100% compatible. Easy. You take a multiclass feat. You do not take two of the Power Swap feats because they are useless for you (lacking daily and encounter powers that can be swapped). Just like you wouldn't take any feats that deal with Power Points or anything like that when you don't...

    Essentials: Druid Preview Is Up!

    Nope. It can take anything from the Druid class that it qualifies for, just like the Slayer can take anything from the Fighter class that it qualifies for, despite being a Striker. However, without Beast Form, it can't use any of the Beast powers the PHB2 druid has.

    Is it me.. or are some feats missing in the C. Builder?

    Nope, it's not wrong. The majority of feats are in the General category, including race- and class-specific ones. Other categories include Divinity (for Channel Divinity powers) and Heritage. If a feat doesn't have a category in [brackets], it's a General feat.

    D&D Essentials Live in Character Builder!

    This is probably because listing ALL the Knight stuff under the normal Fighter would just confuse people.

    Why the Modern D&D variants will not attract new players

    What says they have three years worth of backstock? The only thing they said was in response to the "ZOMG! THEY'RE NOT REPRINTING THE PHB!" hubbub was that they aren't reprinting it yet, because they still have enough inventory not to warrant it. And it outsold their expectations because the...
