    D&D 4E Our first playtest of 4E

    Thanks for the write-up. I'm hoping to run one of these soon. I can't wait really. I've always hated 1st-3rd level play. It's real exciting in the "great, I'm dead again. I'm not waiting until you guys can afford to resurrect me, so I guess it's new character time" sense. It's lame to be...

    D&D 4E DDXP 4E Rules Appendix

    I think the confusion here is the new terms. A Second Wind is a character triggered healing surge upon himself. When other characters do things to heal you, they are limited to your number of healing surges (for clerics and those with Heal skill), or their own number of healing surges (for the...

    D&D 4E 'Advanced' 4E

    I understand your concern about players just using an endless stream of at-will abilities once the "cool" stuff is gone. I'm worried about it too. However, we have no idea how many 1st level at-will powers there will be to pick from for any class. Sure, most characters will only have 2 at-wills...

    Monster stat list

    Thank you again for the work. How many of these are from photos from XP and how many (which) were created by people on the boards?

    As the text separates first aid from stabilizing a dying character, you're likely correct.

    D&D 4E DDXP 4E Rules Appendix

    That's new to me. And I think it's great. I was worried about "daily" spells being 3-4 times per day. Start fresh, fight one encounter (blowing all your spells), extended rest; lather, rinse, repeat.

    Where can I find the monster stats for those you did not include?

    6) 0 hp means you're dying. Negative bloodied means you're dead. (We knew the three failed saves after 0 hp meant death. 7) Quickie skills descriptions. 8) 1st-3rd level skill checks are DC15 for easy, DC20 for moderate, DC25 for hard. 9) Complete skills list.

    Rethinking Reflex and AC...

    But, you're assuming that there won't be a feat/talent/whatever that will grant the plate fighter bonuses as he advances. As was already mentioned, dumping Dex to 20 will mean the character has less options because his other stats will be lacking. There are 6 pregens available right now. We...

    Thievery Skill

    I'd agree with the divisions of uses noted above, except the obvious lake of a deception skill. It'll likely be: Thievery: anyone can pick pocket and find traps, but lock pick and disable traps for trained only. Stealth: anyone can do either, but there will likely be some cool trained only...

    Rethinking Reflex and AC...

    So they get the same protection without having to dump that many points into a stat. That and because it fits their character concept. Yes, hide and 20 Dex gets you that same as plate. So what? The trouble with the rest of you example is that everyone gets the same level based bonuses...

    Rethinking Reflex and AC...

    According to this photo from XP: At the far edge of the page is the shield text, the last bit is interesting: The assumption was that shields only gave a bonus to Reflexes. Assuming shields grant a bonus to Reflex then heavy shields grant a +2 bonus, judging from the pregens. If Small size...

    Monster XP Formula

    That's a great effort and it looks good, but it doesn't seem to match some of the monsters we have. From the monsters pdf floating around here the Defiant Rake (Skirmisher 5; 350 xp) blows the range of xp theory and the chart. The Skeletal Tomb Guardian (Elite Brute 10; 350 xp) really blows it...

    Yes! "Turns" are back!!

    Which is why you should get a Mac. It takes 35 seconds to boot and I'm working (re: checking EN World).

    DDXP Heroic level monsters in PDF

    Thank you so much. That's a wonderful job. I did notice that the Kobold Wyrmpriest has STR 9 (+0) instead of 9 (-1). I'm not sure if that's a error that slipped in on your part or if it was from the original, but it is inconsistent with what we know of abilities and modifiers as well as other...

    Wizards: We want Class Power decks

    Psst. You forget that the poster that brought this idea up on the forum has the same type of mind as Those That Shall Not Be Named (i.e. a gamer mentality). I'm all over 4th when it ships. Buying a PHB set of power cards would be cool. I sure as hell don't want "rarity" in play though. And I...
