Barbarian, Druid, and Bard (along with Gnome, Half-Orc, and Goliath) have all been officially announced for PHB2 in March '09. No official word yet on Monks.

Evil clerics are usually more fun than good clerics, and have better excuses for fitting the adventuring stereotype. My first 3.5 char back in the day was an evil fighter/cleric who managed to convert 3/4 of the party to my dark god (having them physically present when we freed him from the...

I'm currently in the middle of running a campaign. If I wasn't in the middle of something though, I would totally be taking Keith Baker's latest Dragon article (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/drdisp/20080728) and starting a campaign with the characters as citizens of Dolurrh's Dawn...

Four games, so multiple answers: A) 5 B) 4-6 C) 3-4 D) 4-5 A) No B) No C) Yes D) Yes A) Yes (1) B) Yes (2) C) Yes (2) D) Yes (1) A+D) All male B+C) 50% each 2 decent ones. One is grungy and so-so on selection, but is open late. The other is excellent, but closes at 6 PM. 50-50 27, been...

Which WotC developer was it who said "Gishes I've got you covered" so many months ago? Looks like a delivery in spades - the Swordmage is made out of pure win. I agree that it's not quite as good of a pure defender as the fighter, but those are some excellent looking abilities. The other very...

Not playing. Reasons why, in descending order of importance: 1) I'm in 3 separate 4e games (playing 2, GMing 1) right now, and I don't have time. 2) Hadn't heard of it until this post. Which, to be honest, it probably the biggest reason you're having trouble finding players - the market for...

"Red Hand of Doom" was the only published module for 3.x that I ever ran into that was worth anything. Not only was it worthwhile, it was legitimately quite good. War of the Burning Sky and some of Paizo's Pathfinder stuff have looked interesting when I've browsed them, but I've never run them...

A) I can't find that rule anywhere in 4th edition. It was there in 3rd, but that was because resistances were different from DR. There is no DR in 4e, so I think that rule no longer applies. B) All PHB powers that I can find definitely say "Target gains resist 10 to all damage", so PC resists...

Point 1: All 3 GMs I play with, including myself, rule that it's only the first time entering the zone per turn, not each square that you move through, that deals the damage. Point 2: Even with that, it's still awesome. My wizard threw up a wall of fire last week and kept thunder-waving...

Hmm . . . Carlos the Dwarf . . . I think I've just come up with a new name for that random nameless NPC my players always try to integrate into the plot.

Hey, the Rouse is posting again! Scott - is there any way you can get an RSS feed or something like that set specifically for the errata, so that we can find out when it updates? Updates there don't show up on the normal WotC D&D RSS. Edit for clarity: I'm just talking about this page...

No problem. Thanks for the reply. Anyone else?

It's actually not burst that's the key there, it's close burst 5 that means it doesn't provoke.

Let me start by saying that of course a ton of it depends the party size and make-up. My own personal Eladrin Tactical Warlord is in a 4-player group with a two-handed weapon fighter and a rogue, so he constantly is providing one or the other of them with flanking, and frequently can use...

Something tells me that particular feature isn't going to make it out of the "playtest" phase without some modification. :)

Furious smash is a very nice buff, but I still think Commander's Strike is better - even if you're not giving a bonus on the to-hit all the time, Commander's Strike gives them an extra attack - in most cases, two attacks is better than a + to hit on one attack. Yes, Furious Smash does a a bit of...

Yeah, I figured it was a long-shot. Good luck with finding people. ;)

So, leaving aside rules questions or edition wars for the moment, what do people think is the best leader so far? I define the options as: Tactical Warlord, Inspiring Warlord, Battle Cleric, Lazor Cleric, and Play-test Artificer. So far in play (1-3rd levels) I've seen both Warlord types and the...

Heavy Blade Opportunity is the exception here, so it rules. Go ahead and take a Commander's Strike with your attack of opportunity, it's a good call. I'm pretty sure this has already been covered in a couple of other threads - you add your weapon's enhancement bonus on an attack or dmg ROLL...

Huh - this was totally not what I was expecting when I clicked into this thread. What about: "A bout de souffle" (aka Breathless) by Godard? "Le Samourai" or "Le Cercle Rouge" by Melville? "400 Blows", "Grand Illusion", etc? I mean, you've got some good movies up there, but when you say...
