Myself, I'd much rather see spell radii and ranges done in feet or meters (in-game measurements, mind you) with angles. Not done as a X by Y in squares option. I'd also like to see rules that allow for the classic wargaming use of a ruler, and maybe a protractor. (I don't think it's THAT hard to...

XP grinding isn't the only source of grind in MMOs. Another is crafter grind. Crafted items often take a lot of mats that take some time to collect in order to craft them.

I'm in favor of Interstitial magic. Like the name, like the connotation.. like the specificity. Seems very UA. In a good way. "I am a mage of the times and places between. I have been in the middle of now and forever. I have seen the place between our plane and the next. Have you ever lived...

Actually, I like that rogues have some maneuvers that give them extra mobility. Seems very rogue-ish, and it could always be flavored to fit. Tumble's a great 'anytime' ability, but sometimes, I don't think Tumble would qualify.. like when you've spent all of your movement and need to move away...

And he might even be able to make a sexy Mialee! Or at least one that looks female...

Can we PLEASE not get rid of the d10? As much as I love the d12, I'd rather not see the d10 go the way of the dodo. It's my favorite die. Plus, it makes for a nice even progression: d2-d4-d6-d8-d10-d12. We just need a d14, d16, d18 too. Though I'm not sure how the last 3 would work... but at...

I'd like to see the psion, psiwarrior, wilder, artificer, swashbuckler (though I wouldn't mind it if the swash was integrated into the rogue and warrior classes instead), and most of the OA classes. I would like to see the specialist wizards maybe get some play, but I didn't vote for 'em. I'm...

Actually, Frukathka, Monkeys = Monks, so it's non-stacking, because it's from the same source. Well, monk is another term that is sometimes used to describe a monkey.

OK, I don't think you can't have a mix of styles while having clear, consistent art direction. Everything should feel consistent, but that doesn't mean you can't have some visual cues that are meant to evoke certain feelings that are reminiscent of different eras. 3rd ed. has had some great...

I have a feeling that by that point, they'll be fiendish monkey jokes, because they'll be so bad. However, fiends do tend to have large amounts of treasure associated with them, so would that mean fiendish monkey jokes are treasure-related in two different ways? Or do the new fiends go for a...

I'd like to see a mix of styles that range the gamut from that of those from early D&D to modern 3.5 ed. with a whole heaping helping of something new and different. Ideally, I'd like to see an illo that reminds me strongly of the past editions, then on the next page, see one that is definitely...

I've almost SEEN that decision being made, albeit with a slightly older kid. I've known a friend who had to point watch cops descend en masse onto a kid the friend pointed out to the cops, because the kid in question had a training fake and was brandishing it around. This was in middle school so...

Plus, it's an intro adventure to 4e's system. I expect a lot of campaigns will be doing the "ok, the campaign's wrapping up. once we're done, you guys should start building 1st level characters in 4e" thing. So it's not entirely unreasonable to expect that players will want a 1st-3rd level the...

And if Protection from Alignment-type spells, the Alignment Word line, and Detect Alignment don't exist, then suddenly, it's very hard to distinguish between an Evil paladin of a justice-themed god who 'punishes the wicked', incidentally going through town killing all of the town's leaders and a...

Thank you. Now I must suffer that mental image as well. And it is mightily disturbing. And very Eric's Grandma unfriendly. So please, never mention those words again.

To Mouse: While I'm perfectly OK with designers not talking about every change under the sun, but when you majorly change what is a major part of the default setting, I'd sure like to know why, if it will not be too difficult to say concisely, because too much change without explanation leaves...

I'd heard bad things. like it was 'fun, quick, reasonably realistic, and easy-to-use.' The situation cannot be allowed to stand! Deletion6 is BadWrongFun!

Aye, but if the fact that both LE and CE have 'seducers', one option that's better than just saying 'screw it, we're just getting rid of one type' is.. rebuilding the other to fit a role it's been given in earlier editions that's separate from the role you don't need. And when that second role...

Personally, I dislike it. A lot. I won't say I hate it entirely, now that the demons have been expanded a bit (I actually find the idea of demons as being, in part, highly corrupted elemental beings somewhat interesting), but I personally find the entire Asmodeus rebelling thing annoying and...

Actually, I'd say the cops of Hot Fuzz definitely display the entire entire LG vs. NG vs. CG split. Angel IS a prototypical paladin-like LG, while Danny is fairly certainly a CG slacker type, though possibly an NG. (Who watches tons of films about "Bad boy cops who don't play by the rules!"...
