I'm sure this whole experiment will be treated as business-as-usual by WotC. If something works? Praise it (ex. Dark Sun). If something does work? Forget it (ex. Much of PHB3). That's just how these things work with WotC or anything else. Also, they aren't going to ever stick with "one way"...

This just in: D&D is basically a concept after 30+ years. I'm trying to be nice to OP and didn't just wanna quote him and say, "You're doing it wrong" simply because there isn't a wrong way to D&D OR a right way to do it. Like, hating people on the other side of the fence isn't gonna validate...

EVERYONE has an agenda. It's what being human is about. Pseudo-philosophy aside. I also think you're viewing WotC's goals of this operation entirely in the wrong light. They're asking CharOp what is completely broken, not how to fix it. Ultimately the game design is still in the hands of the...

Just like you'll never be able to hold more than 20 characters on the online builder. Less sharing that way.

Technically speaking an Executioner can take any utility from it's "parent" class the Assassin. Some powers are near duplicates "Vanish" is nearly the same as "Slayer's Escape". From the short time I owned the book, not much has changed other than what WalterKovacs already noted. You're better...

Well that's under the assumption that our opinions on the subject, specifically just yours and mine, have as much weight as Mike Mearls or Chris Perkins. Then that's too many cooks. Getting at least a moderate amount of consensus on particular issues works fine. Ultimately it's still going...

It's an issue with the character builder (I assume you're using the online CB). A trident is a spear group weapon and has the heavy thrown and versatile properties. So what should appear is any enhancement that says "Any", "Any Ranged" "Any Melee" or "Spear". So quite number of enhancements...

This actually still occasionally happened over the last few years, even after the slow down. However, the reason I think it really stopped after the slow down is that DDI, being woefully understaffed and/or mismanaged, just didn't have the ability to listen. I like to hope that this will turn...

I think that becomes overly specific and the time it takes (and the effort it takes) to find those specific loop-holes to exploit them seems like a colossal endeavor for, what I imagine, are the errata for June (and perhaps as far off as the scheduled December errata date). I think they'll...

I think to the pure role-players this thread will never matter. Likely at that point, published material rarely matters. However, when your typical player (i.e. someone who enjoys several of the facets something broad like D&D or an RPG covers) there are certain elements that will pop up and...

Everyone is gonna say: "Math fixes". Though I dunno how they would address that (+1 Tier bonus to attacks/defense. I dunno math) Our worst/under supported classes: Seeker, Runepriest, Artificer, Assassin. Twin Strike. Fighter being a better striker than some full striker classes...

Also: ####ing magnets! How do they work?

Wasn't quite, 35. Sorry. I ended up exchanging the book for other merchandise to the same guy who sold it to me. I told him the book was awful. I ended up with Munchkin Zombies and some dice. Even at $30+ the book is no where near worth it. It represents a bad design direction. Has little to do...

I'm lucky enough to have a premier store relatively close to me, so earlier today I had a chance to head over and purchase a copy of Heroes of Shadow. Thankfully I was hanging around the area because I had to return the book about 3 hours later (I actually had to exchange it for Munchkins...

Of all the Rules of 3 thus far, this one smells like a heaping pile of BS. Shades are awful. The Executioner is bland AND reprinted. I'd LOVE to see them answer that in Ro3 (and I like that they don't even wear egg on their face with the Ossassin being even more terrible than the Executioner)...

I understand your frustrations. I think it's best suited for another thread though. I too have wanted to rant about the reprinting of the Executioner, but I'm gonna wait until the actual release of the book. These are pre-release spoilers thread after all.

I think that's in the Shadowfell book. The Gloomwrought and beyond one.

That is thoroughly depressing. Ossassin and now Executioner. RIP as you finally join Seeker, Runepriest, Artificer and (likely) the Vampire.

Oh, so is the Executioner an exact replica of the DDI "completed class" from 4 months ago? Any major changes to Revenants?

I gotta say, I'd LOVE to see what those gambling rules are like. It says concerted effort, so I'm assuming it's more elaborate than, "Roll a d10. On a 1 you DIE! 2-10 you win the game FOREBER!" Also, CC feats should be fun. They alluded to these being more than just reformatting (like the...
