edit: damn you internets!

Of all the nit-pickey gripes I have seen about 4e this is the only one I can get behind. I have never been a huge dragon nut and these as PCs just screams 'Totally f'ing awesome to the max!!' like they should be chugging mountain dew and jumping out of airplanes with sunglasses on. Fortunately...

I did not really follow the press on this one, just had a day off when it came out and no other games to play so I picked it up so I don't really know what the hype was. On the 360 it is really very similar to previous incarnations. The gfx are not as good as Mass Effect say but probably as...

Yes It was replied previously that they are not in the PHB which probably infers that they will show up later in PHB2 or the equipment guide thing. Personally I find them lame as heck, I know it is a fantasy game but I can not imagine a world where two heavy axes on either end of a pole would...

I'll bite, he seemed like a straight up striker to me, why not just TWF Ranger with racial powers and maybe Rogue multi to broaden?

About what I was thinking, maybe with some skill training in lute performance (although since it is more of a 'fluff' thing maybe it is gone like profession skills?) and feats in longsword since it looks like he will be swinging that thing in later books and with the limitations of sympathy he...

Why didn't I see it before? You are totally right, now EVERYONE is forced to do interesting things!!! Please Jeebus save us from the fun!

I forgot about shifty on my first playtest then on the second playtest the fighter was very good at using her anti-shift power so unfortunately I did not get to take advantage of it much.

Do not fight it. I am no 'back in good old days' dude but someone who stabs you in the back, unlocks doors and removes traps? Thief all the way baby, Expert Treasure Finder on the business card.

That's just level 1 for ya. 4e definitely expands the possibilities for interesting actions at 1st level over all previous editions but still if you have 10 great powers to use and most fights do not last 10 rounds then you are just cluttering up your char sheet. Also I think it is better to...

I think the discussion of 'is it worth it?' is entirely premature until we see: All feats, All Powers and All tiers of multiclassing. Sorry but the only folks who know are under NDA. But that said, some posters seem to feel that multiclassing is a failure unless a MC character is more powerful...

Rockband. Actually that is not much of a backup as it will be cohabitating with all other games for a long time in my heart and in my living room.

You gotta work the scrub levels though, for every Superman there should be 50 guys in ill-fitting costumes and poorly realized themes working the kinks out. Call it 'The Tick' tier.

Well it's Penny Arcade, it's funny in an alternate dimension where lolcats and Chuck Norris jokes are funny. Not to rag on em too bad, they have had some funny strips but in general stuff like this makes me think that gamer culture is very insulated and.. meaningless? And this is coming from...

Nope. All you have to do is ask yourself 'Is there any reason to play a pure character?' In a situation where a multiclass caster is just as good as a normal caster then only someone roleplaying would every play a pure caster. 3.5 'fixed' this by making all 50/50s garbage. 4e is taking a...

I played both of them and I despised multiclassing. I still tried to do it in the 2e video games but it was full of arbitrary restrictions (race based class restrictions.. why?) that did not seem to further game balance. It basically was a sign that said 'you can multiclass if you really want...

No, no no you are supposed to ignore the advice and demand a fully powered fighter with a fully powered thief welded to his back. Then say it does not matter because the multiclassing system is not 'to your taste'. If this rational productive discourse continues it will be time to visit the...

Yeah that was confusing me too. For me, I say Ditto Rush!

Yeah one more screwup like this and I am going to love this game, damn you WOTC!!!!

And while their fort might be high it will probably not be as high as their AC (especially for soldiers) so while everyone else is whiffing away the wiz still has an advantage even if reflex might be a bigger advantage.
