    D&D 4E Arcane Spell Failure in 4E

    Problem, why fighters should not use them, too? Either they are better than plate mail, and then fighter will buy a magic item* that give the ability to them at the first occasion, or plate mial are better, and then arcanists will want to use plate mail, too. * what if there is not such a magic...

    D&D 4E Unnecessary monster appearance changes in 4e

    not only that. IMHO the monster's fluff changes (i.e. that things about demons and devils) that will make have the main function to make useless the fluff books of previous edition, did you bought the 3.5 fiend codexes? though luck, either you put a lot of effort adapting it to 4D! or buy the...

    Magic : How streamlined do we want it?

    In 3rd edition? Yes, but in 2nd and previous editions they are two really different spells to use in really different situations.

    Magic : How streamlined do we want it?

    What he said. 3e magic is already too prosaic as is now, make it Hero-like means ruining it definetly. And let's not forget, 4dventure! would have at will, per encounter and per day magic this mean a lot less spell availlable for any wizard. rather than 40 spells in his spell book as now I...

    D&D 4E 1st level 4E characters are already Heroes

    and most 1st level Pcs were the same. 2nd ed don't have max HPs at first level and standard rolling method is roll 3d6 in order. Personally I agree with who said that this is power bloat, I like the concept of "farmboy go to adventure with a sword and 50 gps in his pouch" in 3rd edition you...

    What do you think so far?

    It is not my proposed name, it is WotC's :) (I don't know if you remember but it appeared in the "Big Hype" webpage the day before the big announcement.)

    What do you think so far?

    Need more input, with a tendency to "meh." Everything I see until now don't thrill me at all. New skill system? I don't like it. balance by encounter? I don't like it. the basic setting "point of lights"? I don't like it. change to demons/devils? Meh! the only thing that even partially...

    Changes to Devils and Demons

    I fail to see why this should be better. There is some reason why you/your character should be inherently able to take apart a demon from a devil at first sight (without the right skills)?

    Changes to Devils and Demons

    And that is why they did it, probably, so people had to buy the new books rather than keep using old edition materials (3.x, 2nd or even OD&D) (unless they want to do a lot of works on it, of course) . I'm going out on a limb and saying that they proobably will be doing the same to many of the...

    Skills?

    It is bad design in more that a way, an encounter challenge should never be based around the result of a roll, it should be based on the players thinking a way increase their odds to solve it or finding a way to go around it, 3.xrd edition with his level based DC for skills fail at it (If I just...

    Skills?

    Why not? For some reason glass become more slippery at high levels? /rant I mean, I understand nastier monsters, I understand stronger magic, I understand more complicated traps, but a sheet of glass is a sheet of glass and (like many other things) there is no reason to give it an higher DC...

    Skills?

    Except that this isn't true, because the wizard probably would have a STR penalty while the fighter would have certainly a STR bonus and possibly weapon focus, the wizard would have more HPs (but not by that much) but the fighter, if we don't consider magic/magic items would have probably a...
