Hmm one of my issues is that playing with 2-3 players would really nerf these packaged adventures too much. It's one of the reasons for which I'm not buying Keep on the Shadowfell. I mean, what about a solo monster? It's meant for a group of 5! It's ok when you have standard monsters, which you...

I'm speechless. I just hope to see a third poster acting like this about what I say, because I'm sure I will then be able to line out a very accurate statistics this time. I'll leave it to the most inquisitive to discover what will be the numerical value involved in it.

If this was an answer to my post, I would like to clarify that I was referring to people who was much more negative than you about 4e. But to answer your problem, I think you can agree with me if I say that the 3e core rulebooks didn't have any fluff. The fluff they had was there to inspire the...

This is what i tried to say. In fact, I was first of all referring to general behavior in front of big changes. I know that generalizations are bad or felt bad (because if generalizations were intrinsically bad, science would be bad), that's why I spoke of opinions. I also spoke of direct...

I don't care, I just hope they don't play symmetry games and release 8 classes with the book, not 5 to match the races number...

I generally agree with Kitirat, because it's a studied psychological phenomenon what we're talking about: it's the difficulty encountered by people with changing ideas. Most people find it irritating at best to change their previous opinions, they see it (unconsciously) like a personal defeat...

The flavor mix between predator and the creatures from Pitch Black, that others noted too, makes this monster's preview incredibly on time to excite me about 4e: these days I actually re-watched Predator and AvP2 and I watched Pitch Black for the first time! :cool:

Me too, really first campaign idea when 3e came out. Never developed, nor played it though, because since I bought the FRCS book, I fell in love with the more exotic realms. Oh, I was of course planning a Nelanther isles campaign too...

This Dark One is the new monster I like the most to date! I assume it's a shadow fey. It has a lot of the "real gnome sighting" in Argentina, appeared in the news some time ago, and it brings out the same new concept of unsettling creature... It can be the center of a whole adventure path alone...

And you're forgetting the utility power, which can also be used during social encounters. You can charm people while talking, like a Jedi...

GREAT! I had forgot that designer's talk. However, at this point I can also start thinking that that option could be set to come with PhB2... :( Because you see, it doesn't make much sense to get "additional" multiclass benefits by giving up the paragon path if that class isn't related to the...

I read through page 5 of the thread... Man, how MANY posts in so little time. My view is this: you're NEVER EVER going to need more than those 4 feats to be a multiclass of GOOD value. That's because of power retraining. With that last multiclass feat, you're gonna have access to 30th level...

Of course it contradicts in terms. But here we're talking about numbers, and an elite is 2x a standard. So en elite minion is 2x a minion, more or less 1/2 a standard. IMO, it's always better when we got options like this. And it's always better to make these kind of exercises to check if the...

Like others have said, I would just houserule the bits I don't like. I could even rewrite powers and classes. And I'm probably gonna start homebrewing from day one. And no, porn is not a backup... Because, they'll never manage to create a game that will let you put it aside in first place! :D

Now we just have to compare it to a 6th level standard creature. But from what I see, the math works: we have half a standard creature. It's still killable more or less with one-two at-will attacks. It's a good niche. Of course, a right challenge would be no more and no less than 12-13 of these...

I will SURELY apply templates to minions if it's viable. :) What about an army of lich-artillery skeleton minions throwing bolts of dark energy?? And you say that I can't make lich skeletons? Look at the template excerpt... :D

I like the Balor, and pretty much every artwork seen to date (except for Efreets), but I agree that they're not different enough from Pit Fiends. A color change would have been much appreciated, with red remaining tied to the big devil, but I see they considered it, since the Balor has a much...

I'm not talking about the gift set but the deluxe edition which is coming much later!

I'm really thinking about waiting till the deluxe edition... :)
