Exactly. If adding new mechanics is 4.5, then psionic classes were already 4.5, and I don't think they were. I think the reason many non-4e players are reacting so strongly is because they really don't understand 4e design. It continues to be expansion-based design in the tradition of Cosmic...

C.f. http://www.wizards.com/company/downloads/2010JanJulyCatalog.pdf. I'm looking for the fall version of that one.

Thanks! Anyone seen the July-December 2010 RPG-specific catalog yet?

I've had a couple of LFR kills. I picked off a bard and a rogue, both around level 6, in an Impiltur module -- lots of demons, and the party failed to focus fire. It was somewhat surprising in that it was towards the end of a long fight; normally I expect deaths to come early when the monsters...

Also an excellent model for how to update a trap-based adventure and put some real teeth in the traps. I did a room by room compare with the original the other night, and as far as I can tell you got every trap excepting the extra entrances, which were abridged due to the revamp of the...

I get that. In your initial post, you had said "the problem is that the Character Builder doesn't let you cut and paste textual content." I was offering a way to cut and paste text, not a complete solution to your problem. Sorry if I was unclear!

If you have a DDI account, upload them to iPlay4e - play 4e Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) online! to get easy click-through access to the text of the powers. Iplay4e doesn't require an account, but the links to the DDI Compendium do.

First: thank you for doing this. GMing in public is such an awesome way to give back to the hobby. It's a pain sometimes, it can be frustrating, but I always feel good about myself when I run Encounters for new players. OK, specific tips, based on running the first season... I went into every...

Weem has you partially covered: Weem’s 4e Combat Sheet : lastlands.com It is not exactly what you want but it is akin to what you want.

I think the Tiefling was errated cause it needed it, but otherwise I agree with all of this. Yeah, probably so. I don't expect any Str-based powers for the cleric. Mind you, someone who buys Essentials and a DDI subscription will still be perfectly capable of using existing Str-based powers...

Yep. There are some people who are pretty invested in the idea that Essentials is really D&D 4.5, however, and it's nice to get confirmation that these aren't part of the Essentials line.

Same question for the Nentir Vale book and the Players Options book.

This is great stuff -- thanks for posting it!

Oh, yeah, I should have thought of LFR Spoilers. Those guys are very meticulous. The LFR Compendium review site is also behind by a number of modules, alas.

You can get a list of all available LFR adventures here, which includes the Weekend in the Realms adventures, but it doesn't really list all the various promos. Still, if you want a full list of WotC products, those are a big chunk of it. It's not completely up to date but it's close.

Euphonic Bow as your paragon path works just fine for that purpose. It's not the most powerful PP in the world, but it's perfectly functional and it's fun if you like range.

I'm always interested in more examples of 3D work.

As expected, the Daggermaster crit range is for rogue and daggermaster powers only now.

That'd be a goofy way to play a warlock. If you want to do pure damage without a side of controller, I'd have to recommend the barbarian or ranger. (Which I think is also what the CharOp guides say -- which one are you referring to, specifically?)

Yeah, CharOp is great if you want to know how good a class is gonna be against a block of tofu. Which is not meaningless; but bear in mind that in practice, DPR isn't everything. Warlocks who aren't bothering with the control side of their powers are a lot like sorcerers who're trying to do...
