If you're looking for a pure damage class, the assassin is not it. All the math jockeys will be able to prove that. However, the math jockeys will only ever respect Twin Strike as an at-will, so you're not going to get an unbiased opinion from them. No disrespect to the crunchers, of course...

Well, on the topic of the assassin (I have no issues with the poison rules. Read the RAW or RAI however you want, I don't see why this would be argued at a table), I was curious to know what everyone thought about the utility powers? Other than the level 6 utility that gives you a climb speed...

Dragon Magazine issues #180 has the 8 page article titled Aerial Battles that features the use of airships extensively. I believe this is the article you're referring to. It will give you DM tips for running airships as well as various optional rules and encounter ideas. Dungeons & Dragons...

Was hoping for Dex, Int/Cha for Eladrin. I use them more for striking classes than magical classes. Oh well, my rogues and assassins will still be using Int as a dump stat.

Aratargul, earlier in the thread, Heroic Slayer and Mighty Slayer were already written out. Heroic Slayer= Add Dex mod to damage dealt with Melee basic. Mighty Slayer = +2 to heroic slayer damage. Combat Readiness (my question) for a slayer is +2 to initiative. I dunno if that is the same for...

We've all asked so much from you, Fiery Dragon, but could you tell us the level 9 class features for the Thief? Combat Readiness and Improved Finesse do what exactly?

I really hope that this is still all part of the wake of restructuring and lack of man-power. There is a bit of a rift forming between fluff and mechanical content (either the fluff having no strong mechanics, or vis versa). I hope, by October after the relaunch (aka Essentials) is over, they...

THAT ^ that is bananas! I love it. :-D

so my charging Daring Acrobat will be retraining to Thief so ALL his powers are movement based mwuhahahah. I can't exp you again, but I wish I could. Thank you!

Can the Thief use any previously released Rogue Paragon Path? Or does it have to select from Essentials PPs?

Dark Sun and Essentials material should be compatible following the core rules of D&D, which is any Power or Utility Power with a level, that belongs to the same class and meets any other prerequisites can be used by the character. An Essentials character could take the Arena Fighter Theme and...

Reading Ainamacar's statements about has me wondering a few things. When you load adventure tools, you'll see, other than the Monster Builder, there isn't much else. Perhaps there will be an Unearthed Arcana tab put in one day, which while compile the extra, fringe rules, in an easy to manage...

Gunslinger paragon path would be freakin awesome. In general, "fringe" rules sounds awesome. I look forward to this.

There's a lot of variables to consider. What tier is your game at and how long do the combats generally last? Is there a need to remove Expertise feats when implementing this house rule? You should just try a house rule of "+1 to descriptive attacks" to start. See how that works with your...

That does seem odd that it is missing. They only really needed to reprint the page that's in Arcane Powers.

How is the book structured? Table of contents puts the rules in what order? etc Table of contents/book have any glaring omissions? ( I realize that's an in depth question, but it's bound to come up over time)

Even an atheist can be a theologists.

I would imagine, going into next year (2011) we will see a similar spin on Encounters Season X. I would imagine "Heroes of Shadow", the new Forgotten Realms Book (as well as future changes in LFR) and the next Player's Handbook (which will feature themes) will all have a spotlight in Encounters...

Excellent work, Klaus. I look forward to hearing what happened to the Dragon magic feat and am really looking forward to Heroes of Shadow.

Gotta say, I loved this article. A lot of extra fluff to make your Sorcerer King Pact much more fitting in the game it was already designed for. I understand why this was left out of the book. It's not totally necessary, but it's extra awesome.
