Also, I could swear there was a playtest reference to special abilities that 'healed the bloodied condition' or something like that. It might not be enough to just take your second wind after you've passed that threshold. If we are talking about per encounter abilities (without recharging and...

A feat to avoid an AoO could easly be a no-brainer if most defenders depend on AoO's. It is possible that even with a feat the roll will be opposed (perhaps by initiative).

That's a good point. This or the gob minions, regulars and elites.

Yeah, this is what I'd like to see. The species doesn't matter nearly as much to me.

This is exactly how I view it.

Yeah, KS was like, "I ain't got no plans with a man. This is the 80's and I'm down with the ladies."

I think it's best to use what they've already given us and extrapolate. Below I'll post the elf crunch given by WotC. http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/dramp/20071221 I left out most of the fluff because the idea is to create one's own fluff and alter the mechanics accordingly. I...

K. Glitterboy, cyborg and juicer are taken. Psi-Stalker Baby. With mutant powers. I'll take invulnerability, extraordinary PS and PP. Er… Strength and Dexterity.

Yeah, Scary Awesome! EDIT: *on topic* Yeah, I think they will be solo monsters for level appropriate PC's.

This is true. But they do mean some things more than others. I'm not going to go into the odds of wizards with those HP but we're talking .25 to the 10th(EDIT: I forgot the 1st level max HP, one is .25 to the 9th and the other is impossible)! The bell curve keeps that kind of luck in check...

As I said before, there should be a mechanic that represents being hurt but not dying. I think that's what the bloodied condition represents. This is perhaps the best of both worlds (well, more likely a reasonable compromise) between "realistic" and "just accept it."

I think it was the warblade they were talking about in the Castle Smoulderthorn playtest reports though perhaps you are referring to something different. Either way, I haven't heard anything about the swordsage losing his stuff. Yet. I agree completely! Desert wind was my least favorite...

I think the 'bloodied' condition comes into play at some point in this. It just occurred to me that the paladin ability is, "a strike...that heals bloodied allies." More on that later… While the explanations jeffh gives are very good, they are (IMO) insufficient to explain why high-level...

THANK YOU! This makes me very happy! :D

The only thing that bothers me atm is the whole "preview" thing but that's marketing. As for the rules/fluff changes that I’ve seen, I'm either pleased or neutral.

I'm almost positive that there will be a 4E SRD. EDIT: I'd flip through and see what I like best btw.

Just had a thought, but what if the warlock pacts are similar to 3.5 binder pacts? I just looked at the wording in the warlock DD article and it specifically says, "A class that acquired scary powers by negotiating , pacts with shadowy, infenral, or feral patrons?" The grammar seems a bit off...

Re: Ur priest pact. That's a good point especially if one alters the flavor a little. I'm still not sure the word pact would fit but that can always be changed. There are ideas for angels (oath's), demons (bound) I know I saw others... Truely! There was a wizard everybody was afraid to...

This I would really like to see. Reminds me a little of a Palladium Warlock which makes me feel tingly. Not as tingly as a d20 Wolfen or Diabolist but close. I really like the far realm idea as well. *got "the thing that should not be" stuck in my head* I wonder how mechanically tied the...

I can't say I care for half races either. I never used half elves and I use half-orcs as orcs.
