I would guess the 'Build Options' will demonstrate how to put together a good archer etc. by picking feats and powers. The 'Class Feature' will probably be similar to 3e in that you chose to focus on one or the other, even if you are not using the build option spelled out in the PHB. ie you...

As a disinterested third party my judgment is: Ding! The Troll label you called for is ready.

Your experience seems entirely valid and well written up. You are into a AD&D version of dnd and that is where you are coming from when you tried out 4th. All fine. However the wow thing is way off. I have played 4ed (preview, lite) and about 8 different MMOs. They are entirely different in...

By god we MUST prevent others from doing things we ourselves do not want to do! How dare WOTC cater to anyones taste but my own??

The rules already seem to support rolling once for damage on an aoe spell (although this might be a speed suggestion for the preview adventure rather than anything that will be in the PHB) so if you did that and you rolled once for the attack you could really change the math of the encounter by...

D: Diplodocus FINALLY wtoc gets that people want to play as giant prehistoric lizards!

In my world the gnomes will all have white beards and conical red hats.

Well kinda, I was not playing 3.5 pnp regularly before but I did play NWN2 now and then and liked it a lot. Now I look at it occasionally but I can't even bring myself to click on it. All the fun of making interesting class combos and such is gone. i kinda feel the same way about DDM, I don't...

Ah for the 4ed oozemaster: Brown Wave Daily * Arcane * Fecal You really don't want to know. Ick.

Thing is I think they are working it this way because they do not want to have to say 'x power does 1d8 fire, 1d8 thunder, 1d8 cold' they just say the damage and you can divide out the fraction when it comes up, which will probably me a minority of the time. Otherwise you are basically...

Who would have guessed that they would not intentionally make every foolish design decision some griper straw-manned up.

I have been playing DDM since wardrums or so. I don't play in tourneys just with my buddies and they are pretty hooked. the 1.0-2.0 change was a bit of a bummer, I like the 2.0 rules better but I have more figs to play with than they do so they prefer to use the old rules so they have a better...

If this is all you guys can find to complain about then this must be best game ever made by the hands of man. Truly the second (well fourth) coming. Seriously, what is the point of these nit-pick fests other than to reinforce gamer stereotypes and pad post counts? Might as well launch into...

The wotc site lists power cards as being part of the Friday preview. Doesn't mean yours are not better of course.

1. My biggest fear is that no internet/rl dnd conversation will include anything useful about playing with the new edition without some comic book guy showing up to declare it the worst.edition.ever. because it does not perfectly fit their idea of the ultimate role playing game. 2. That the...

Thanks for the writeup. My group also renamed Skamos (Gangeee Potfart, and no the player is not 12 years old at least not physically) and ruled that the clerics name should be pronounced 'erase'. We had 6 PCs so I had a fight with 1 hob wiz, 3 hob archers and 2 hob soldiers. I had trouble not...

If they have stolen anything form the wow business model it is low system reqs. What you quoted seems well and truly low. As 3d apps I would assume there will be considerable tweaking that will let you set it to low poly/rez to run it on slower machines. And I believe it was previously quoted...

I consider monsters to be less than their stats. Stupid worthless monsters, pshaw, you make me laugh!

In my opine the new symbols are unintuitive. I don't have a better set to offer, it just seems to add a new system to learn to use the cards which lessens the economy of design you have otherwise created. But I suppose the price is right? Other than that they look great.

The reason Wizards are the only controller in the first PHB? Because the Sorcerer was not 'done' probably because it's whole reason for being (the wizard to knows less spells but gets to use them more often) has been obliterated by the changes to resource management so he needs a whole new...
