I don't have my books on me and the D&D Compendium isn't turning up anything. I know they only get 1 hp and they have fixed damage, but I don't recall seeing guidelines for making new ones. Are there guidelines for creating minions somewhere?

Was there a thread on this I missed? The Monster Builder is up under the bonus tools. Its pretty cool, but one part is missing. This is from the instructions: The Formatted Monster button generates a formatted popup with the stat block in it. Using your browser, you can print the stat block or...

Well, I use my laptop. :uhoh:

For me, the Compendium alone is worth it now that they added monsters in. It's all about the tools as that makes writing 4e material so much easier. I'm definitely going to subscribe.

Um, Gnome preview? You are an evil evil person...

I have to warn you, we're probably one of the hardest companies that you would ever do art for... You can view the art guidelines here: Inner Circle Art Guidelines. You can just email me direct at: jeff [at] innercircle.us.com

Pretty cool. I posted a Design Diary for Violet Dawn. It has all of the races described and the current version of their racial powers: A Design Diary on Laying the Foundation for 4th Edition Violet Dawn

They wouldn't fly with me either... ;)

Because the majority of people on here aren't professional Art Directors. Also, some of the criticisms are even overly picky for an Art Director.

All valid points. I guess we can always switch to medium and go with oversized weapons. Looking over squeezing and such, I just can't see a PC wanting to deal with that. Thanks!

As someone that is going through that now I can attest to the fact that yes, it sucks.

Are their any rules for large player races anywhere? Just curious if there is anything official from WotC on this. I don't have my MM on me, but if memory serves even minotaurs are medium creatures, aren't they? Is there anything posted in Dragon or Dungeon that I've missed?

This direction pretty much changed though, didn't it? The only difference between races now are the encounter powers you get at first level and a few feats. I think they either fell short on that promise or changed direction through the course of development. Wasn't this mentioned at some point...

Welcome to EN World! I'm a big Drizzt goob so this is awesome. I just wish they didn't use so much comic art, but I guess they didn't have a choice. Very cool nonetheless.

I have to admit, a lot of people in my group still can't get over the crazy abilities of the characters. It doesn't ruin the game for them, but I can see where you are coming from. So where is the point where this becomes acceptable to you? I have no clue what you are planning on doing, but if...

It's not hard to grasp. I understand the benefits and why they did it. IMO it's a band aid to fix a design flaw. You and other people like, I and other people don't like it. Let's leave it at that. We can sit here and post until we're blue in the face. I don't think either side is going to give...

Well, I think it is a problem. It's nothing like any of the other classes have. There are a lot of other ways to do it. Like I said, I think its a cool ability. Its application needs work. The fact that so many people are having issues grasping the concept makes it a problem. I wouldn't hate the...

Instead of being abrasive about it, how about you post an example of what you mean?

Um, same thing. If they can't use Rage Strike until 5th Level, they would be minus 1 at will power until 5th Level. So technically, they'd have only 1.

Now that right there is elegant rules design. The only problem I see with this is they basically need to redo everything they already have. Personally, I think its a much better way to go. Bravo!
