Totally agree, and that's why strikers are focused on mobility. If they weren't meant to go behind the enemy lines, a melee striker would have the same (and even bigger) issue of not getting to attack the back-row controllers.

Blog style format is good: you could label each post (which is a PoL or PoD) with a lot of descriptive words such as "forest", "feywild", "tower", "mist", "wizard". Then every DM looking for a Tower emerging from the mist from the feywild would be able to rapidly search the blog and find it...

Very very interesting. I think a "database" of Points Of Light could be made into a website. There's no need of standards apart from the basic guidelines of creating points of light with little back-story (or at least little SPECIFIC back-story) and little surrounding area. Then many DMs could...

You guys are out of cool ideas... Half-Elf totally multiclassed Paladin-Rogue of Evil alignment Halfling Warlord-Rogue centered on Charisma Dragonborn Rogue specialized in strength and acrobatics Gnome (there will be gnome race, you always forget it) Shadow-pact Warlock Minotaur Paladin...

People, ALL the barbarians there, Wulfgar, Dracotaur and Gnoll are Primal. And Races and Classes also said it quite clearly. So Barbarian IS Primal. And unfortunately I see no whirlwind attaks able to make them controllers, so they're Primal Defenders

Hey all fluff names in the 4e books are not meant to be campaign indications, I mean... Yeah, someone told that the name of the ancient Tiefling kingdom was there on purpose because you needed to have a ready name to quote it but come on, a good DM can come with good names in 5 minutes, so the...

To me, the Feydark inspires a vision of fantastic realms more than anything else. It's the classic concept of the underworld dominated by fey described in Irish mythology. And please, do not complain about symmetry because first of all it's not actual symmetry, since places, distances, space in...

Now your point is more than clear, and I think I completely agree. I also think that, at least partially, 4e will get closer to this philosophy. Me too I, for example, always felt that the Blue was just wrong. I can speak since 3rd edition only, I had 1st edition Basic, but I don't remember any...

Perfectly agree.

I think Clairvoyance and Clairsentience powers in general still have many chances to be Psion's domain. What we must forget are the energy based powers, and maybe also much of the Metacreativity. And Psychoportation I bet will be domain of another psionic class, maybe a roguish type.

Of course it makes no sense! :) all this mount-race relationships may only have sense in the miniatures game, in which each expansions has its fixed number of creatures and they want you to say "Oh no! I have the manticore but I don't have a goblin that can mount it, I must go buy another...

Desert of Desolation miniature stat cards are out. There are a couple of things that we'll probably see in the true D&D version of these creatures too... A list of the things I thought were "remarkable"..:The Yuan-ti Malison has a fear power that literally keeps foes at bay, allowing it to use...

Don't you think that the cover presented in March for a product coming in November may actually get to change... a bit?

Well we know that they want to differentiate psionics from magic not much on the mechanical aspect (which is mostly standardized for all classes, no matter the power source), but on the real in-game effect aspect. They toned down arcane and divine enchantment effects with the purpose of leaving...

Really not a bad idea: distributing your resources between all your items. It would make for the right item-centering needed for the Artificer without loosing the character-centric mechanics that constitute the basis of 4e. Besides, it seems to me that the magic item mechanics scream for some...

Yeah, it would be a little difficult if wanting to actually deal damage with skills. I'd say the mechanic could be used to actually disable certain foes, out-maneuver them actually skipping the fight but getting the XPs for having done it so skillfully (WOW! :D ), or maybe just make them...

I'm sure it would be possible: what we heard about social encounters screams out "consolidated rules for social encounters", so those rules could just be used for combat. Of course, it would be interesting if maybe only certain combats, depending on situation monster and everything, would be...

I would bet it, cause it's a classic: Astral Dreadnought. It's on the 3.0 Manual of the Planes and also on the 3.0 Psionics Handbook if I remember correctly: Astral Dreadnought in Manual of the Planes Art Gallery I don't know much about previous editions, but I bet that it comes from 2e...

Thank you! I always loved focusing on the dark side of the fey and of nature itself... It's also gonna be a necessary replacement for the Druid in my campaign! After all it's gonna be some sort of "shadow-wizardly druid" both in fluff and game terms.

All the classic 5 are gonna be in the MM: Black, Blue, Green, Red, and White. It has already been confirmed that the MM will have chromatics, but not metallics. If you refer to this Draconomicon "describing the Black, Blue, Green" and so on, I think we can be sure it means giving additional...
