That is why I am sometimes so very critical of these classes. Due to my suspicion they are increasingly going to "Publish and forget" as the new model, if they don't get it right the first time a class is going to be doomed. It really isn't so much of a surprise to me that the builds from HoS I...

I hate fortune cards with such an immense depth and pure burning rage, that I cannot adequately express in words how much I dislike them. I cannot think of something that Wizards has done recently that is dumber than fortune cards - albeit I have a few things that come close (like releasing a...

So far I've been very unimpressed with them as a striker, but in fairness they do have some control options. It reminds me of the Oassassin in this way, immense work to get some middling control effects out of it and only average damage when you succeed. Their damage is immensely underwhelming...

It's really not and I couldn't disagree with this idea more if I tried. The vampire being so on rails makes it one of the most bland and uninteresting classes in 4E. There will be no diversity practically between any two players and that's just boring.

So the bloodied value = damage power is called ravage? Odd, I would have called it Harm myself.

Are there any strength powers for the cleric out of curiosity? I am going to guess no, but it's worth asking anyway.

What are some of the binder warlock encounter and daily powers like? Further, what sort of riders on their powers to binder warlocks end up getting?

I hope they preview more of this product soon - particularly confirming if it actually will have any support for epic tier at all. I am increasingly of the opinion the answer is "No" however...

In fairness, magic sells a LOT more than DnD does and I imagine their art budget must be miles ahead of that of DnD books.

Are nipple clamps of exquisite torture common, uncommon or rare?

I have the same feelings that you do SteveC. The only reason I haven't stopped playing 4E is because I am running 2 games and I really enjoy them. Plus it doesn't really seem fair to the people I play with to just up and walk away on them. I really want wizards to turn the rut around soon and...

Get released so that classes that want them actually have a viable option. It's baffling to me that two of these don't exist yet. Especially flail expertise, which is actually desired by a class in the book. Edit: Also add to your above list, Ki-Focus expertise: Applies to weapons and...

Yeah I know about the +2 on the charisma based attacks. Didn't know that the at-will power that counts as an MBA though, that makes it a lot better. Though I do wonder what the precise wording on that is? Does it let you use it on a charge or does it let you use it as an MBA (there are some...

Now that I've seen a good deal (a really good deal) of the class "Powerful" isn't the word I would use. I would still use the word swingy, but with durable they eliminate a great deal of their Achilles heel - especially at the lower levels. Two attack stats (Dex for most melee attack powers and...

Phew, then all is right in the world then. I was considering writing to my local member of parliament at this clear injustice in Dragon/Dungeon this month. I shall have to intercept the carrier pigeon to ensure that we don't start an international incident.

The more I think about what you wrote the more I like it. I really think that themes were "technology" that has come into the game a bit late to truly shine. I think the vampire would have been better off as a theme - instead of a completely on rails single track class. I also think themes as a...

This was asked elsewhere but I've noticed this myself and am curious: Is that the targets bloodied value or is it the bloodied value of the creature? If that's the targets bloodied value then that is just incredibly ridiculous on solos. But I imagine it's the warpriests bloodied value. A...

Ah. That's a bit poop, but still that's not the worst thing ever.

So I'm a little unclear on the blackguard: They get 1 at-will given to them by their vice and can pick a second at-will from whatever they want?

I think he's saying they have two at-wills, the one that was previewed which gives you CA and a second one, which gives you a bonus to damage. Personally the bonus to damage sounds like the way to go to me.
