That's not a theory. I know a guy who knows a guy.

Thank you dmccoy1693, I was wondering if I was the only one having problems. I imagine it's just networking issues as the entire site is down, not just a section of the message boards or anything else. Hopefully it's fixed soon. :)

Here's the key: The previous versions of DnD have supported both the "kick in the door" style of play as well as the "deep-immersion" style of play, as mentioned in the 3E DMG. Most people fall somewhere in the middle. Will 4E support the deep immersion side of things? Not from what we've seen...

I feel badly for those who don't like the blow to verisimilitude that SEEMS to have taken place. It isn't a problem at my table, really, as the "Die Hard/cinematic" explanation was acceptable without anyone blinking an eye. I think they only care what happens in encounters and everything else...

I think you'll have to take feats and after the first feat you'll be allowed to choose powers from your list and the other class's list. For instance: 1. Multiclass Feat (let's say, into Rogue). You get Weapon and Armor proficiencies and access to Rogue powers. 2. 2nd Multiclass Feat: You can...

I think it will encourage people to roleplay "catching their breath." Which isn't a bad thing at all.

Here's another comment to consider: how will the game feel when it's played? The concerns raised are, IMO, good ones and shouldn't be brushed aside. They might not be concerns for ME, but I can easily understand why people have them. But people who have been playing around with what we know...

Resource management, I think. You can take one prolonged rest a "day" and you get healed, reset your Action Points, and reset all abilities. I think they just made it that way to make it easier, since they obviously wanted to make daily powers and the daily limit of healing surges controlled to...

Let's get to the bottom of it all. The new healing system is in the game because it facilitates play, not because it simulates healing better. In practice, it just shortens the length of time needed for PCs to be back up and attacking your dungeon. No version of DnD simulates injury and...

I don't know. I imagine that if the RAW doesn't contain some option to include Wound points or some such then it will soon become a popular House Rule. Maybe it will be in the next Unearthed Arcana. As for me, for the grittier games, I've already decided that the healing will stay will the...

Excellent write up, amigo! Nicely done, and helpful. I like to think of a system in terms of how it plays as well as how it looks on paper, out of game. The reviews we've been seeing are very helpful!

Wow, you guys are amazing. :) Really, great work. I've messed around with the program for a day now and just learned how to change a color, and only to one color. So, yeah. I'll go suck on a revolver now. ;)

Okay, you guys just gave me my geekasm for the day. Wow, you guys did some amazing, AMAZING work on those. I'm impressed! So, I downloaded the program and will play with it later but I have to ask: Is there a way to make a template (landscape, of course) that will mimic the Monster Statblock...

I don't care if they're not as good as other options. If they're even PARTLY viable I am so making a dagger throwing rogue. Is it effective in real life? Probably not. But I'm not trying to roleplay an accountant. I want a knife throwing rogue who can kill things. Trhow some knives to start when...

Oh, I wanted to add, Clark, consider your book purchased. That much enthusiasm deserves compensation. :) If it colors your work at all, that book will be full of win. :)

My group stopped playing DnD with 3.5. We were already a bit tired and I think the whole mini-edition thing gave us the excuse to just put the books in the garage and forget them, so to speak. We've since lived a happy life on doses of d20 Modern and Rolemaster/MERP. But my players are super...

I agree that a Gaze is a bit difficult to think of as an Encounter ability, but since it is powerful (if it's like the Bodak gaze ability, which is also per Encounter) then it should be an Encounter power. The balance of power comes first, from now on, I think. The explanation is left to us...

Well, that particular attack says Immediate, so that means the Berserker can act out of turn when he's Bloodied and make a melee basic attack at +4 attack bonus and +1d6 damage. He can do it once per encounter. So, it's just a reaction ability in this case. Having that as an ability with a...

Ah, I love wolves. I think I need a good dozen of these at least. :) I can imagine it already. The first PC gets ganged up on and, once prone, the wolves start trying to drag him back into the forest. Knowing my players, and seeing how the wolves look .... the PCs might let them. ;)

I think people may be taking the criticism from certain game designers a little too much to heart. As designers, they're going to try to make as balanced a review as possible; that includes posting those things they didn't like or that worried them. Also, they're not going to review the product...
