    So is this indeed how it works?

    You should "lose" all D&D threads in general for assuming that in D&D if something is not on the books it can be considered "missing from the game".

    The Half-elf Con bonus: A possible explanation.

    I was really shocked to know about this Con bonus, but yes, I can picture hybrids being more resilient. A little, in this specific case of half-elves, for cultural reasons, a lot for genetic reasons: you avoid all the possible problems of a too restricted genetic pool, thus becoming, generally...

    Review of 4E on Aint It Cool News

    Same here, disappointed, but not so much. I even think we could find more info on D&D Insider, without having to wait for DMG2, but nonetheless traps must be easy as hell to hack. They're much like a mix of monster and skill challenge crunch. About sacred cows, I'm not at all concerned since...

    D&D 4E Italian 4E launch 7/8 June @ Parmafantasy

    Non ci andrò mai da Cagliari... :) And I'm starting to prefer English for real, at least I don't have to save from fear and acid effects when I see translation errors... I already ordered the books from the US, which means, taking into account expedited delivery, they (all the three) will cost...

    Excerpt: Minions. Go forth mine minions! Bring havoc with your 1 hp [merged]

    Hmm I still hope though. It just needs a good level balance as I envision it. (Look my previous post above for a thought on the AC of the previewed guys)

    Excerpt: Minions. Go forth mine minions! Bring havoc with your 1 hp [merged]

    Excellent yes, but I'm wondering if the wonderful vampire spawn minions with 10 Hp and regeneration were actually reduced to standard 1 hp or kept as wonderful as they were... EDIT: I think I cracked the "natural AC", they actually have half their level as natural armor bonus to AC. 10+Dex...

    Tidbits from PHB Viewing

    Yep... If you think about it, doing marketing for D&D is not for economists, it's something any of us disciples could do it, we know what we want, we know what teases us... And they being basically like us, even more into it, know that even better, and we're seeing it... :)

    Sorcerer in PHB II: Rich Baker says a little

    Well they surely can come up with something better on the "official side", but myself I think I'm gonna continue the bloodline way, right for the bestiality: it's good in a gritty world like mine to get the characters discover there's a whole fey-rape-industry in rich empires in order to...

    Chameleon Skink, interesting level 9 minion

    I noticed other minions have 1/3 their level instead of 1/2 as a bonus to their stats. I'm much more puzzled with their defenses, which, as of now, don't seem to follow a clear pattern in the examples we've seen.

    Chameleon Skink, interesting level 9 minion

    Chameleon Skinks are a subspecies of skink that have a number of characteristic peculiarities that distinguish them. The Chameleons are more aggressive than other Skinks, and their role centres on scouting, infiltration, concealment and hunting. They are able to move to within yards of their...

    Excerpt: Economies [merged]

    This is exactly what I thought while reading. Plus, I was totally amused by the enchant/disenchant thing. Especially BEFORE seeing it's another argument for D&D=WoW. Since of course I never ever played WoW or any other MMORPGS. You WoWers will make me hate the GREAT Blizzard...

    D&D 4E Original 4E Monsters

    Add my try at a Varghulf, a bestial, furious, monstrous vampire taken from the Vampire Counts of Warhammer. Here it is: Varghulf ( http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=225834 ) There are two versions in the same first post, the better should be the second, but you decide. I'd love feedback.

    Varghulf (from Warhammer Vampire Counts) - PEACH

    UPDATE: I moved the new version in the first post so that you can compare it with the more "copy/paste-collage" first version. Come on all the Lurkers of the thread, take on the vampire lord template and become Skirmishers at least... ;)

    Varghulf (from Warhammer Vampire Counts) - PEACH

    Within every Vampire lurks a predatory creature, driven to feed on blood time and again. For many Vampires it is a curse, something to keep in check, an unavoidable price for their powers. These Vampires maintain the pretences of the living, moving amongst human society and concealing their...

    D&D 4E 3d6 and 4E Character Generation

    Wow, I really like this last one!

    May previews

    Loved everything. Warlord powers are just simple 1st level so nothing fancy, but we can't say the same for traps and orcs... Wow. I'm a little surprised that there are no real "orc shamans", but I guess the Eye of Gruumsh is good enough to fit the niche. And guys, it's pretty clear that basic...

    Illusions

    I have this little bad feeling that we'll have to wait for PhB3, because they've already hinted that PhB2 will deal with Primal and Psi power sources, and that it will probably give us the remaining classes for Arcane and Divine (Bard and some kind of divine controller like Favored Soul). Even...

    This is the worst "4e thing" I've ever seen to date, it smacks so much that has actually lowered all my enthusiasm. Even if it is a particular modified Work, the design is so conceptually wrong (and I see you all agree it's just plain UGLY) that we would really like it OUT of the MM... :(
