someone can explain this my impressionn is that he is talking about 4e in this part (because else the sentence would make no sense), but 4e crits maiximize damage not double it, so what's happen? Are 15 level "brute" monsters rolling 10d6 or something similiar for damage? I thought they wanted...

no, it is not. that same wound on a 1st level commoner would kill him a dozen times, as an experienced fighter you were able to take it in a less lethal point (but if it was 5cm on the left it could have hit your heart) also as an experienced fighter you are used to get wounded and to the pain...

of course do you know perfectly well what will happen at the end of the next fight,and of every following fight. "to avoid another "vizier incident" we cut the throat of every "dead" enemy, better sure than sorry."

The question is, how happy will you be if ALL the encounters will look like that? That is my big worry about 4e, sure, powers and mechanics seems cool, a fight where half the Pc go down and then go back fighting seems fun... but if all the fights have PCs that go up and down like yo-yos it...

Thank you :o yes, but you see, that is part of the problem, you need The Cliffs of Insanity with an high climb check to challenge a 10th level party, a run-of-the-mill cliff just don't cut it, and it is boring because apparently the only thing that make those cliff "of insanity" is that have an...

I hope so, I like incantations. I also hope that wizards can learn spells, or at least rituals, even outside the level progression (i.e not "you find a new spell of a level you can already cast, but you can't learn it until you gain a new level.)

Or maybe is not meant to be a thief but a blacksmith (i.e someone mechanicaly inclined, that can open lock, disable traps and uh, pickpocket?) or the nearest thing you can get in 4e, at least.

Let me use your post to start a little rant/discussion about 3.x, 4e and SAGA skill. the problem with 3.x system is, from what I've read and my experience, that the only thing character did with skills was, with some really specific exception, to put max ranks in them, it almost never happened...

Uh, wait, weren't devils supposed to be prisoners in Hell? Can they just teleport out when they want?

Even if that "only positive impressions" isn't true (or even if it is) it is weird that nobody else said their opinion by now. I mean, playtesters are gamers, they probably are bursting from the wish to say something about the game. I know I would at their place.

well, if that is true then the questions are, how many playtester there were in total? and how many of them shared their positive experiences? ;) I counted two, until now, both in this thread. Someone know/heard of others?

No, I think that what he means is that there some races, classes and mmmh, "tricks" that he really don't like but that judging from the preview WotC think are really cool, and he just hope that in 4e there is no overadbundace of them. FWIW I agree with him, I never liked the "freakshow...

I thought about 2e NWP, too. I actually quote liked them as a system. From what has been told of 4e feats it shouldn't be too hard adapt them to something like 2nd NWPs, after all feat are suppossed to not be indispensable for combat balance and you should get a load of them, so you could afford...

I stil say make it blow up when it is bloodied, either on the PF turn or as an immediate action the moment the devil go bloodied, as long as it is just one for round. This add at least two kind of tactical choices for the pit fiend, keep around a minion that is still able to fight (and to keep...

A thing I just noticed, it have just 350hp, I mean no "26d13+117" or something, just 350, I wonder if it is just for simpicity of if the concept of hit dice got dropped.

Thank you for the image, actually my question is "can the PF slide a devil without making it blow up? and if not (like it is probable) why?"

"being cool is like being a lady, if you have to say you are it, you are not" (Paraphrased from something that I don't really remember now. :) )

But for how long? because I think this power could be fun the first or second time you use it, but already at the fourth -fifth time (and I don't mean the fifth combat) I'd start to get bored by it, either as a player or a GM. Generally I have the same impression with all the at will/per...

Then add that you can use it only on Bloodied devil and I'm sold, But as I told what really bother me is the slide. actually I have an idea, make it an automatic action, I don't know what is the 4e term but in practice, once for round, even outside the PF turn,when an allied devil get bloodied...

My impression is very similiar, something like, a monster of x level with Y role will have this attack, that defence and those saving throws/defences, etc, etc, then if you give it the psecial ability web is a giant spider, if you give it regeneration is a troll and if you give petrification is...
