Does anyone else think its odd that fighters and paladins get different healing surge totals: Fighters: 9 + Con. mod. Paladins: 10 + Con. mod. Both leaders have 7 + Con. mod. All strikers have 6 + Con. mod. Do you think this might mean the halfing gets a +1 healing surge and that both fighter...

I agree. It probably would have been better for WotC to simply say: 4e D&D GSL allows you to use the 4e D&D rules. 4e Modern GSL allows you to use the 4e Modern rules. Simple as that. No need to even deal with "fantasy" or "non-fantasy" seeing as the former has built-in fantasy premises and...

I was trying to avoid the nuclear option... ;)

The idea is that you can only have 7 "paragon-level" feats at 14th-level. 3 from the 11th, 12th, and 14th level choices and 4 more from "retraining" your heroic level feats (the assumption is that you can only retrain one feat per level). That is how we can hold that a character gains 6 feats...

So our three options are: Kathra's to hit is +6 (+3 Str, +1 Prof., + 1 Fighter bonus, +1 racial bonus) Pro: Racial bonus to attack would fit with dwarves. Con: No other evidence of racial bonuses to attack. or Kathra's to hit is +6 (+3 Str, +1 Prof., +2 Dwarven Weapon Training) Pro: Could...

There are a few other powers with Melee or Ranged vs. AC in the attack lines: Cleric: Priest's Shield Fighter: Cleave, Tide of Iron, Passing Attack (and secondary attack), Brute Strike Paladin: Bolstering Strike, Holy Strike, Shielding Smite Ranger: Nimble Strike Warlord: Distracting...

Care to share your idle thoughts? ;)

I addition to moving enemies away from you you could also use a power to move enemies closer together and then use your action point to hit them with a more effective AoE power. ;)

I was wondering if we have considered whether Careful Attack's Attack section should read: range + Dexterity modifier vs. AC It seems to fit the rules revealed so far just as much as (if not more than) the ranged +4 vs. AC does... perhaps it should be mentioned in the PrRC? Just wondering...

I made a makeshift table to help visualize the Racial Feats (I don't know how to make a table with the forum codes... but if someone else does feel free to post it for me ;): Racial Feats (Heroic Tier) Name_________________Prerequisites______________________Benefit Action...

Original Design Intent Before we began 4th Edition design, James Wyatt decided that he wanted a player character’s race to matter a lot more in 4E than it did in 3E. Andy Collins and I heard about James’ decision during our first week of brainstorming together. James said something like, “I...

I wonder if there are more heroic tier racial feats... I'm really like how these feats accentuate the feel of each race... humans are action heroes, dragonborn are Rocky with a breath weapon, and halfings... well everyone ignores them!

The Swordwing has arrived!

The Racial Benefits article is up!

Yeah I think getting access to not only powers, but class-related feats, paragon paths, and the like is well worth a feat (especially when the gateway "Initiate" feat grants you with Skill Training and an additional power per day or encounter power).

I'd love to see Birthright redone... with both bloodline specific and "core" rules for creating political, mass-combat, and realm-ruling oriented campaigns. And if they need a freelance writer for it... I'm available ;)

Would all this "multiclassing or not" debate be a bit different if WotC just called these rules what they admittiedly are... Dual-classing? Or would people say that these rules don't even do dual-classing well? Just my random thought of the day ;)

Do we know for certain it's -4 Damage, +4 to hit? Could it also be -Dex, to damage, +Dex to hit? I know this counts Dex twice for attack rolls, but you are losing your Dex to damage. I agree it would be 3 under the proposed system. Although I agree with many of your points I do think there...

I wonder if all the 1/encounter abilities that have ongoing effects (Divine Challenge) under normal circumstances only last 1 round... it would "balance" them with the "one-shot" (Sneak Attack) multiclass powers.

Not certain this has been mentioned, but the Multiclassing Table is fixed. Feat Prerequisites Novice Power Any class-specific multiclass, 4th level Acolyte Power Any class-specific multiclass, 8th level Adept Power Any class-specific multiclass, 10th level
