    Torrent throwdown on the Wizards board

    I know someone who is printing it out, but that's because he works at a print shop and can do it for free. He also has it on preorder. I'll repost my opinion, since it seems to have been drowned out in the shouting: I have no small gameshop. None. At all. Not "in the next city over." Try "the...

    Bugbears?!? In or Out

    In. Though the female bugbear is almost "out." Gonna go bleach my eyes now.

    Poll: Do you have the books already?

    Pet peeve: BATED breath. Unless you've been eating fish. I have the PDF, which I also intend to delete as soon as the real copies come in.

    Understanding Race Design and Balance…

    It's funny you're comparing the drow negatively to other races, considering in other threads different people are saying it's overpowered. I think it's too early in this edition to really tell what is overpowered and what isn't, unless you run into an obviously broken situation like the DDXP...

    Build me a katana + trenchcoat guy

    Rapier rogue. Rapiers do the same damage as a longsword now, but count as light blades, so they work with rogue exploits and sneak attack. Flavor your sword to look more like a katana. Make the trenchcoat out of leather. You'll find it works very well for the sort of lightly armored melee...

    You are a cruel, cruel man. As for why...boredom? Rumors some people had already received it from Amazon?

    Have you seen this monster?

    While I like what I've seen of 4e so far, I think I will compile a list of monsters that were left out: Missing (probably will appear later): Frost Giant Cloud Giant Metallic Dragons Tyranosaurus Raptor Triceratops Iron golem Clay golem Nightcrawler Nightwing Missing, presumed dead (probably...

    Alas, poor Regdar.

    Looking through the book, I noticed several name drops and references to the old iconic characters. Lidda and Mialee in the races section, the characters fighting the white dragon looking like the old psionic iconics, etc. And then there's Regdar. Poor Regdar. He shows up in the ritual section...

    Excerpt: Swarms

    *puts on necroposter's robes* Arise, foul post, ARISE! Anyway, having seen the books myself, I think that the largest problem with the drakes is not a problem at all: Auras do not stack, so if two drake swarms are adjacent to the target, you only roll the best attack roll between them...

    I also have the books [merged] (info on upcomming Power sources and more)

    Do the other size categories still exist? I hope colossal does, because I just bought the red dragon :/

    I also have the books [merged] (info on upcomming Power sources and more)

    I think that's more meant to compare to the Arcane Spirit ability. That's the Deadly Trickster's "Not dead yet!" ability.

    Just posting to make you all jealous, I HAVE THEM

    Patience! At least give the man time to read. 5 minutes. Tops. I'll be waiting. My big question: Top tier Martial ailities. Some examples?

    You're Marked..how and what'sum'up?

    For fighters at least, the enemy can also draw an opportunity attack if they attack someone else. Paladins inflict radiant damage if their challenge is ignored. Monsters, at least at low level, seem to just inflict the -2. That may change at higher level. Edit: Ninja'd!

    Excerpt: Fallcrest

    He expects people to behave, collectively, as a reasonable individual would. IOW, the mistake of every social planner in history.

    Sleep. Sleep! SLEEP!

    Reread. Rouse failed his save, so he's still slowed. Hennebeck has it correct.

    Excerpt: Swarms

    The rat swarm damage is untyped, though. Are you sure it's not from the same source?
