Oh, Inherent Bonuses.... How I love you. Here's a Boon or Grandmaster Training . . . now fight that undead kraken as your deity intended you to: With your face!!

I had a feeling this would be an exact reprint (which I found easily enough hosted online via google), but a part of me secretly wished Mearls would turn this into a Thief build. That doesn't mean it could never be done. I suppose it's an interesting look at past editions and I can't say I'm...

I thought this was rather odd myself. Sure at level 1 they were a solid choice to increase your perception, but a daily power that caused you to burn an encounter power, even outside of combat was pretty balanced. Dark Vision is just highly over rated in the days of near infinite sunrods.

Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Article (Official D&D Updates) The May updates. Cannith Goggles got changed from a level 1 item to level 11. I just noticed that these are all revisions to Dragon 365. Monster Vault revisions. They are minor. Notably the Carrion Crawler...

Looks like they are going all out. Like normal, there are going to be hit-or-miss with some of these articles. I hope that's not why they slapped "play test" on some of them. Then again, having it on there isn't so bad. In fact I kinda like it.

I'm kind of tired of Wis/Con classes for the dwarf to excel at. Though the concept of ongoing elemental damage is nice. Seeing as we'll likely get an "Essentials" classes, I wouldn't mind some stance powers. This could be a chance to make an Essentials Monk for WotC. I know many reel their head...

I would loved to see an Int-based striker that isn't relegated to blasting/controlling.

Power source + Dexterity ability score = Striker. At least this is WotC paradigm. Also, it secondaries into Controller. Just like most other Dex based classes. So What would an Elemental striker be if it were it's own class, or at the very likely slapped into another class as a build? What...

Staff Fighting (Wis 13) makes the staff a double weapon with stout and defensive properties on one end, off-hand for the other. (dra annual 09) The options that Klaus mentioned come from DRA 391. Like he said, there isn't much to it. Also, the Staff Expertise feat from the Essentials books...

So looks like we should bury Animal Master next to Shade? Thanks for the info from the official threads, Aegeri. Edit: Man, that out-of-combat usage thing mentioned by Baker is . . . I could see how maybe, possibly, depending on how super duper strict your DM is outside of combat and fudges...

Unless your animal companion dies. Then you wait a whole month/end of adventure. Unless you're level 5. Keep in mind the DM still has to OK that you're in the right place to gain a new animal pet and only with an extended rest. And in later level it's still gonna be a level one minion that gets...

Seeing as how the Executioner was beta-tested and I returned Heroes of Shadow for a non-D&D product... I dunno. That may just be a bad example. If we got stuff months in advance? Like the Monk. The Monk probably shouldn't have been the only publicly play tested class (though I recall a...

I'm almost afraid to look at Explorer. I think between Animal Master and Noble being the themes I was most looking forward to in their respective articles, I rather just skip the hassle of themes and just call my character an explorer or a noble or an animal master. Edit: Actually you are...

I still like the idea of them being 800xp combined. That would actually balance out why individually at 800xp a piece they are on the underwhelming side. Also I am giving this preview the benefit of the doubt and that their unique power wasn't edited correctly and will be done so in the book...

The power is a bit underwhelming. I'm reading 2 distinct aspects. This creates a small loophole. 1- If he gets dropped to 0HP by fire/acid he goes down and doesn't come back. 2- If he's unconscious and within 5 squares of his brother and THEN you hit him with fire/acid they don't come back...

The Ice Archon player class. Striker role. You start with 12 + con surges. Your surge value is halved! It's dynamic! You have vulnerable 5 fire. If fire damage reduces you to 0 HP you're immediately destroyed . . . unless you're wearing a heavy cloak! Your striker mechanic is based around...

Good questions. I think everyone will have slightly different answers depending on their DMing style. The way I set up my maps is that I always have a scale version in my graph paper note book so that I can get a frame of reference for unseen traps/hazards or to mark off creatures that have...

I'm pretty sure the Thief can do anything. But I'm biased. Thief multiclassed into Swordmage for intelligent blademaster is worth the 2 feats, but just Melee Training Int isn't the worst thing ever: with a Thief your main striker attributes are being deadly accurate and sneak attack/extra dice...

What's the worst that could happen? One terrible elemental class and then support for the wizard and cleric?
