I think the Unfettered does a pretty good job standing up to the heavies, even in comparison to the Warmain, which is the heavy fighter extraordinaire.

I think the big benefit of these is that they allow the use of additional healing surges during a fight. If I were to change them (which I've thought about) I might make it: "Use a healing surge and heal 10 points or the amount you would normally heal using a surge, whichever is greater". I...

I never really felt that 3e supported the swashbuckling type of fighter very well with just feats. You really need a separate class (Swashbuckler, or the AE Unfettered) to do it right. I think 4e is going to do a much better job supporting this out of the box. In 4e, the light-armor fighter...

How about minions always win initiative? That way they can rush out to be slaughtered in all their red-shirted glory. ;)

I'm having trouble seeing how the role is any more limiting than classes. In 3e, each class has just as much of a role as it does in 4e (some classes are even more narrowly constrained by their 3e role than their 4e one). The only real difference is that the roles in 3e are implicit, while the...

As someone who never bought any of the Fantastic Locations products, I have to say I'm really happy with their inclusion in KotS. There's no way Wizards would have been able to include this much new mappage in an adventure, so recycling the old ones is an excellent way of providing battlemaps...

But I thought everyone was familiar with non-Euclidian distance measurements? Chebyshev distance, Manhattan distance.

But does it come with singing vikings?

This actually gets at the more general question: can you take the same daily, utility, or encounter power twice to allow you to use it more than once per day/encounter? I'm kind of hoping not. I like the idea that players have to spread their abilities around rather than being one-trick...

It seems if you try to stat Thog up so that he can fill all these roles, then he's not really going to be the best choice for any of them. If Thog, significant opponent, also has to work as Thog the PC, then all of Thog's abilities have to be balanced with use as a PC in mind. That means a lot...

You can also get 8.5"x11" transparent sheets that you can print on with a laser printer. Get some of these and and print a graphic of a hexgrid on them.

Lay on hands is an at-will power that is usable wis mod times per day. The pregen Paladin has a wis mod of one, so you can use it once per day.

In one of the podcasts, someone on the design team mentioned that they were trying to come up with a solution for familiars and animal companions that wasn't just an easily forgotten skill bonus but that also doesn't effectively result in the player running two complete characters. My guess is...

Endroren, have you read the skill challenges excerpt? Particularly the negotiation with the Duke that's given as an example. From your perspective, what exactly is wrong with it?

Little quick on the shift key, maybe?

Horray for hexes!!

In 4e, it seems like an Int based fighter will be a workable build. So you can have your desired characterization and be effective on the battlefield.

I love world building, but I'm really looking forward to 4e. I think it'll be much better for my kind of world building than 3e because it seems like it's going to be much easier to adjust the rules to the kind of world I want. If I want to ditch magic items or the divine power source, it's...
