The most obvious difference (to me anyway) if it the crossbow becomes an unlimited magical attack the you lose nothing even if you have to roll a 20 to hit. If you fire with a crossbow you've a bolt that you won't have later when you can hit something that doesn't require a 20. And the magical...

So you don't like the combat mechanics of WoW. But what exactly don't you like about them that you are afraid they are going to port over? What exactly is it about D&D's combat that you like better? I'll admit I've never played WoW but I have played FFXI and EQ1 (not to mention numerous CRPGs...

No one is arguing that anime only contains women that have realistic proportions and no where in the medium are there women that will develop severe back problems in the future. I hazard a guess that anime fans would be the first to point to examples where females have half of their body weight...

As a couple others have said - if they are supposed to be different than they should be different. If Elves and Dwarves and Humans and Halflings are all different in description so much so that the casual observer is able to tell the differance when they (at least in 3.X) are all Humanoids; why...

Just to add my voice/writing/text to the mix... I like the concept of the changes and can see why they are doing it. I got the alignment aspect of the Demon/Devil devide, but never really got why some were on one side or the other. It just seemed arbitrary and I could never tell you what side...

This doesn't sound like they are trying to change established settings at all. It sounds to me like a setup to have a game world where dungeons have a higher population density than people; and have a built in reason that they have not already been looted and being sold to the populous as...

I voted for having Point Buy be the standard. I have no problem with other variations (3d6, 5d6 drop two lowest, pistols at twenty paces, the square root of the cosmological constant divided by the current year) being listed as alternate options.

I look at those two and I see both being a Fire Breathing Dragon Fight. What else would you expect a Fire Breathing Dragon to do? And even if they did grab those abilities from WoW (doubtful, but let's go with it for a second) if it made the dragon fight feel more like a dragon fight then I...

What dice are your players using? I need to get me a set of those. I voted non-random. If a PC rolls really poorly multiple levels in a row they are out a major rescource for the rest of their (now likely shortened) career. I wouldn't mind the 50-50 split suggested above, but I still vote an...

There is only Gleemax.

So here we are; trying to unravel The Rouse Identity?

I'm a huge fan of WAR.

Pool of Radiance on my dad's Commodore 64.

Stunned, Dazed, Flat-Footed. I think I'm in the process of making a Will save against a Fascinate. We'll see how that turns out...

As a tech guy myself (a programmer; so not IT; but still) I agree. Marketing problably told them to increase it by X amount and they got hit with X times 5 or something similar. It likely won't be very stable until after the weekend (once everyone has had a decent chance to look at the new...

What we don't know is how much prep-work the tech guys did. (obviously: "not enough") I keep seeing people speak as if they did nothing to prep the system for this. It is quite possable that they did some. Stuff like this happens quite a bit after major announcements; everyone hits their...

I can get behind the idea of this. Even behind the 'nominal' fee (depending on how "nominal" it is). My immediate concerns are what kind of DRM there is involved. What happens if my computer dies? What happens if the hard drive I have it on is what dies? Guess I'll just have to wait...

I'll buy the core books, no question. After I get a good look at the core I'll make my decision about a full transition (and depending on where in a campaign our group is...)

This is what the countdown clock is for. We already have confirmation of 4e... So it can't be a countdown to the 4e announcement.

Assuming that the previews don't end up showing stuff that's just... wrong... I'd buy the core books in a heartbeat. After I get a good look at those then I can decide if I'll switch fully to 4e or stick with 3.X.
