Why should WOTC give their rules for free to other companies, so they can profit with these rules, unless it somehow benefits WOTC business? If open gaming does no good for WOTC business, why should they support it?

I don't remember any 3rd party publisher producing WoD products, so I think we should boycott them too? AFAIK White Wolf is the evil empire, not WoTC.

Lol, I wish WotC's marketing could be just like EA's marketing. We would at least have more information than speculation, and we wouldn't need to visit the designer's blogs or fan-sites to get some info about the product. And I didn't go to D&Dexp, so I'm still waiting for that demo.

Yes, I can and will certainly look at it when the books are out, but the question is, why can't they just tell us now? Is it gonna hurt business so much? Are we gonna be so sad that we won't be able to be surprised about multiclassing anymore when we get the books?

I agree. I have a dozen very close friends that are also long time D&D players. Putting aside two guys that visit Enworld weekly (myself included), the rest had no idea so far about 4E. I usually visit other D&D and RPG forums out there and still see people thinking 4E is all about online...

Unfortunately there are no full attacks in 4E.

I don't want to get the rules for free online, I just want to know more about the game I'm buying. For example, multiclassing, will it hurt their sales so much if they just tell how it works? What about rituals? I can't imagine other companies using the same marketing... "Here is the new...

Since the books went to printers already, they could just tell us finally all the secrets about multiclassing. Unless multiclassing is not supported in the PHB...

Or you could just allow the players to recharge their Dailies by spending an amount of Action Points, 3 or 4 of them per Daily Power.

I think my previous post came a little late on this thread, but there is where I put most of my money too. "Most" because I won't put it all, since I'd not use that rationalization on all martial powers. Some really need alternative or unique rationalizations.

The martial character does not realize that he can perform a special attack each day that deals much more damage to his enemy, he just try to deal lots damage in each attack, and from his POV, from the immersion POV, one of those really was more brutal than the other attacks he made. He doesn't...

No. The rats would need to bypass your image's AC. In 4E, all the rats need to do is to open and close their mouths near you. I have to agree. It's better to just wave your sword like crazy near the wizard to scare his images away. Save the rats for some buffings and cleavings.

YEs, buy if it makes harder for an arrow to hit the wizard, why doesn't it make harder also for an Eldritch Bolt to hit the wizard? Or any other non-magical attack that targets the Wizards Reflex. What if the attackeris blind? Based on the spell description, it also works against blinded...

Agreed, I saw it coming. So howcome a mirror image makes your AC higher? How does it make harder for the attacker to hit you, since it's just basically a hologram?

I wonder how MIrror Image works when an attack targets the Wizards Reflex Defense instead of his AC. What if a Warlock attacks the Wizards with an Eldritch Bolt, how does MIrror Image help the Wizard? What if the Warlock uses Ray of Frost, against the Wizard's Fortitude defense? If AC is the...

I've just remembered. You need to go through a registration proccess at D&DInsider in order to have access to any kind of official information about 4E!! OMG, WotC actually sold books with preview information about their new product!!!! I was aware I knew nothing about marketing, but in these...

I just want to make a plea to WotC: The game is not in a "state of flux" anymore, the books went to the printers already. So please, show me what I am actually pre-ordering. NO more speculation, no more designers blogs with "I was playing a _____ wizard and he used that 'power that deals a...

I have a dozen close friends that are also D&D players. Only two guys from this gang are web geeks and frequent ENWorld and D&D site (myself included). Only two guys from this gang knew that there was a 4th edtion coming.

It depends. If the shapeshifted druid is still as powerful as when he is in humanoid form but with distinct roles, it could be easily an at will power that needs a standard action to activate, so the character really needs to plan when it's the right moment to change roles. If wildshape just...

Same here. Is WotC still planning to release a 4th edtion of D&D? I'm not sure anymore.
