I would have if they were had "quick play" rules. Oh well...

I like the direction erf_beto is going in but I'd prefer that every character get a trait at first level (optional, but doesn't charge a feat or talent). I like the idea of a marginal bonus with a substantial penalty. I'm not sure of the balance of such things as well, but I'll leave that to...

I think/hope they will use both. Talent trees are great for customizing your character while "static" abilities will ensure that each you are still capable in your role. That would allow a little leeway in talent variety (rather than having to ensure that every talent from a "defender" makes...

Chuck Norris can kill Ninjas and Pirates and Badgers!

They could also make some changes to checks in general to favor PC's. One possibility in this example is if they made the rogues roll vs. each PC separately. Assuming they haven't attacked yet the PC's can warn each other. If you have 4 PC's and assume they have a 80% (not horribly...

You are CRAZY! Oh, perhaps I should read it first... :D Hmmmm... maybe. I'm fairly certain that the warlord, assuming it's in, will be a leader along with the cleric, which I believe is confirmed. Going just by the names I don't feel these two classes should have the same chassis. Really...

I'm annoyed they've interrupted the 4e updates with 3.whatever stuff (exemplars of evil). Also, there have only been vague hints at some of the major changes (action points that will be in but different than saga/eberron and all classes get per day/encounter/will abilities as examples). I want...

Yeah, I know. I"m an old timer as well. I don't miss sneak attack. At all. EDIT: And I never made that mistake but perhaps it's because I liked sneak attack so much better.

I don't like it because it means I have to buy (at least) two supplements if I want my monsters and monstrous PC's.

There was also mention of the word "backstab" which seems to imply facing. I can't remember where. I think it was on one of the blogs. I'm not too keen on the idea.

You know what bothers me most about Tieflings? The charisma penalty. Have you ever noticed most demons have fairly high charisma scores? Even the dretch is average. As for the feeling of wrongness they emanate; give them a diplomacy penalty and be done with it. EDIT: This may not be an issue...

I wonder if they mean free free or free to d&d insiders.

I've stopped cold. Luckily I was running behind and am not going to bother with the 3.5 books I was going to get. I'm fairly excited as I loved the ToB (minus desert wind and a couple of other things) and it seems like 4e will have elements of that book. I'm hoping it has the best elements of...

I just put it in my wizards sig. I'm going to leave it there too.

I know what you're talking about. I was in the middle of creating a tinker-like class and redoing desert wind when this came up. I would hold up on any mechanical issues until 4e is out (assuming you'll be converting- I know I will. E4 will eat 3.5 within a few months after release I...

Ahhh... so you defected to enworld. Found ya!!!

I like this minus the racial adjustments.

Time stands still with ranged attacks???? *looks it up* Oh yeah. It just says, "make two full round attacks". Nope. Wouldn't allow it. I would guess that that was a mistake. With that in mind I think Hong's version is fine. The ranged version shouldn't be as good as the melee version...

Are you using psionics? If not, the work is already done for you. Just call "power points" mana or something.

Wow, you've really covered all bases here. The Cavalier is behind the others with this scheme especially if he isn't human. Domains come free with the cleric level (granting two feat equivalent requirements for free for all but healing domain). At a minimum of 3 feats required a non-human...
