Down? What other class can double-move and still dish out an attack, every single round? Their mobility is higher than ever! I also believe they'll get a bonus to speed and possibly AC as a class feature, perhaps +1 per tier to both. And I also bet many powers will allow some movement before or...

1. D&D characters don't have a 50-50 chance to hit. Every character can obtain attacks that target weaker defenses, and some classes virtually always target them (casters especially). 2. WoW characters miss a lot more than you make it sound. Apart from missing there's also dodging, blocking...

Ah yes, I found it now on page 55. Thanks.

Apologies if this has been handled before, but I didn't see it. What happens if a power with two (or more) energy types interacts with resistances, vulnerabilities, and immunities? Example: Astral Storm does cold, fire, lightning, and thunder damage. Efreet are immune to fire. Does this mean...

Interesting bit of powergaming. If the elven reroll got problematic you could always use a bit of ruels lawyering yourself: you must use the second roll, not the newer one. You can roll that attack a million times if you want, but you're always using the first reroll. That prevents auto-crits...

On the D&D core set there's a D&D logo on the slipcase. It's like a golden disk, with "D&D" in the centre, and on the outer ring there's the symbols of the gods. Plus 1. Yes, I know, there's the secret god Tharizdun in the DMG. I counted him. All in all there's 20 gods, but the ring has 21...

Yeah thanks for that buddy. Let me tell you about my first 3e character. ( ;) ) An elven monk who "wasted" almost all her attribute enhancements from leveling into Charisma, as she slowly but surely evolved from a stonecold disciplined dungeondelving killer into an open-hearted person. She...

Man the old style lightning bolt was great. We did all sorts of crazy stuff, like measuring the exact distance to the opposite wall so the lightning hits the enemies twice but just fails to reach you. It was even more funny when AD&D2e came out with a Tactics of Magic skill in one of the...

How is this not clear? If a monster tries to make itself look like a specific person it must know what that person looks like, and it gets a +20 bonus to the opposed bluff/insight check. What's the problem?

The section on magic armor (page 227 PHB) mentions +5 black iron dragonscale armor. Such armor doesn't exist. It should be wyrmscale.

No, it says gnome arcanist right above the goblin hexer. Goblin arcanist is not mentioned in the MM at all.

The ability for wizards to extend spell durations with an orb... actually doesn't do anything. It states that you could enhance a duration from "ends at the end of your turn" into "ends at the end of your next turn". This only works on at-will wizard powers and mentions both Ray of Frost and...

Not on the sheet, no, but that's not a serious problem with understanding how he works, right? Actually it says he has "an" extra spell, not two. Anyway yes, you're right. He can either prepare Sleep or Acid Arrow for the day. Everything he gains at higher levels is listed. If you can't see...

Zombies also have immunities and can see in the pitch dark. That's got to count for something. In case anyone thinks poison and disease immunities are irrelevant, I'd like to point out that's a 3.x mindset. Damage types in 4e appear to be more evenly balanced out. Dragonborn, for instance...

:4: :5: :6: is easy to do with 11+ :5: :6: approximates to 13+ :6: approximates to 18+ Not a very elegant progression, eh? On top of that, this nonsensical progression encourages third party monster-makers to use recharge values of 10+ or 15+ or even just a natural 20. I think their goals...

8 damage? We know that... * He's supposed to have a +5 weapon by then. * There are several feats that can enhance damage. * We've seen that some at-will powers can gain greater effects at level 21. I really don't think he'll do 8 damage per swing, even discounting critical hits (which'll do...

*cough* Let us not forget that the legion devils are teamplayers. ;)

This is really just the same as in 3e. You're a cleric (divine magic) and multiclass with wizard (arcane magic). What's his powersource? Both. Obviously.

I tell them the fighting man, cleric, magic-user, thief, elf, dwarf, and halfling are all still in there.

Exactly. I for one find it welcome to have an idea of what female giants or githzerai or whatever may look. Much better than just showing off a single dude (it's always a dude, barring the aforementioned drow exception). I like my humanoids a bit more varied.
