The x2 STR mod on two-handed weapons comes from SWSE. The +1/2 level damage bonus will factor in later, when the pregens are above level 1. Thanks for the input. -TRRW

Using the Second Wind formula from SWSE (Con score OR 1/3 max HP, whichever is higher). They've said that Religion is a skill, specifically, which would cover most of the stuff that your Occult skill would cover. Again, most of my skill assumpions are based off of SWSE and Iron Heroes...

That's one of the eccentricities of the system, but that's how any threshhold system is going to work, really. The theory is, HP above the Bloodied line isn't physical damage, but exertion and the like. Damage below the Bloodied threshhold is actual physical damage. Second Wind turns actual...

Fey Leap: All abilities are Line of Sight by default in my assumptions. Sorry, should have been more clear. Second Wind: I remember reading a reference to Second Wind being a per encounter thing. In trying to streamline terminology, I replaced the term Swift/Free action with Immediate...

As of the prologue of The Orc King, 100 years. -TRRW

Sorry, those two statements weren't supposed to be connected. I thought I remembered hearing somewhere that there'd be no penalties for attributes this time around. Upon further reflection, I think they just meant for Racial stat bonuses. I'll readjust my totals momentarily. edit: Also...

Spaced that one out. Good catch. Skills adjusted to reflect Initiative as a skill (Paladin and Rogue both now trained in such things). Also fixed a couple more math problems. I's a bad mathamagician. -TRRW

The Defenses are based off the SWSE "+2 to one Defense, +1 to another". I figured Paladins didn't get Divine Grace until a higher level, otherwise they would be a lot higher. (Also, I added incorrectly, like a chump; I'll go through and edit them for correct mathness.) Paladin: +2 Fortitude...

Hey all. Now, to get this thread off the ground, I'm going to tell you this up front: These are *not* actual 4e playtest characters. These are my interpretations of what 4e characters are going to look like, based on the information we've been given up to this point. ----- Race: Eladrin...

1) I will try my best to not make fun of Grognards. I really will. 2) I will not make fun of Greyhawk, even if I really *really* enjoy doing it. 3) I will introduce at least three new people to the hobby. -TRRW

FR has novelty? Really? I had no idea. Always seemed played out to me; since at least 1990. *shrug* -TRRW

I'm Downright Amazed by What I Can Destroy with Just a Hammer. - Atom and his Package Through the Fire and the Flames - Dragonforce To which I reply: Mandy - Barry Manilow Duh. It's way more enjoyable than Greyhawk! Also, I hate Barry Manilow and am trying to make a statement similar to...

I think this definitely qualifies as an Educatrix... -TRRW

Paladinette? Halflingess? Near as I can tell, God should be gender neutral; thereby applicable to all deities. I also hate Sorceress, as it's apparently the only class that requires one to differentiate between practitioners of different genders. Fighteress? Wizardess? Druidette...

*rolls eyes* ALL true MLP fans know that the correct title of this is "My Little Pony: Apocalypse Pony". Sheesh. Kids today. Also, I would like to playtest. -TRRW

7) The exclusion of Gnomes from the PHB1 will end the world. 8) That Tieflings are *so* broken. No one will play anything but Tiefling Paladins. 9) The Mystic Theurge Paragon Path is the most broken P-Path and must be nerfed right now. 10) Half-Orcs will be missed. -TRRW

I think you're confusing two related concepts: empathy and compassion. Empathy is understanding how and why others feel in a certain situation. Compassion is actually caring how and why they feel that way. I have empathy for people who like gnomes and were offended by it; I just don't care...
