    Hybrid Classes

    Interesting approach... I think the forced 2-powers-per-class will work out as intended most of the time. The restriction to striker class features to powers of that class is an easy way to prevent certain crazy combinations. I'm eager to hear some playtests with this... we're taking a break...

    My first 4E session included several complete newbies to roleplaying. Midway through kobold hall we realized our wizard had picked up one of my d12s and was using that as a d20... whoops!

    What can we expect from DMG2

    I would like a lot of sample traps/hazards and maybe a sample NPC from each class for each tier (3 for each classes). I know there's rules for creating your own, but it'd be nice to have something quick to look at and to see some ideas for how to do some of the class features in monster-form...

    I can't WAIT for this month's character builder update!

    You're correct... however, Dungeon/Dragon stuff usually goes live at midnight Eastern Time. I just assumed that comp/cb updates would follow the same schedule. Obviously that's wrong... so it following Pacific Time schedule wouldn't make me any more correct =) I think sometime in the day...

    Elemental Power Source Speculation

    With Primal power, I've got a good idea that wotc is adept at pushing the limits of classes. Every time I can come up with some type of Elemental class idea, I can't help but quickly feel that wotc can do better. I guess that's the point 4E will turn a corner - when they're doing stuff I thought...

    Bummer it wasn't available at midnight...

    I can't WAIT for this month's character builder update!

    My guess is first that it's harder to do. Easy to pull up data on gods cause we already know what they are - harder to go through and database up everything from the various adventures... especially if unlike monsters they weren't planning on it. Another idea is that tab will be...

    I can't WAIT for this month's character builder update!

    Thanks for posting the link... even more excited! Does anybody remember if this became available right at midnight last month or it showed up later in the day?

    Arcane Power Excerpt: Vestige Pact

    I like it... definitely worthy of AP - seems a bit complex to manage for a new player but gives some really cool options. I definitely could see this being a very exciting option fluff wise... the particular vestiges seem like they could really be put together in congruence with the DM's...

    Playtest: Martial Power 2

    Yeah I wonder if those powers aren't finalized quite yet. I find myself sort of turned off at the thought of a whole bunch of this stuff for all the classes. It's weird cause at a granular level I can get kind of jazzed at the idea of some different styles available... but the thought of...

    Design and Development: The Deva

    Perhaps that works with most devas, but it's always the exception to the rule that proves to be the most interesting and often the most exciting player choice. I can think of a few D&D novel heroes which are quite major exceptions!

    I can't WAIT for this month's character builder update!

    I think this thread is a testament to how much we've wanted an official decent character generator for so long and how well they've done at implementing it.

    Design and Development: The Deva

    I read this D&D:Deva prior to reading the PHB2 entry and found I was really disappointed with the final result. Devas that are actually beautiful as described in the article did not come across that way in the art. First, dropping the wings for "prefers armor with wings" really ended up being...

    Dungeon Delve in Dungeon Mag?

    wow! lucky me... I was going to run the original delve as part of a plotline in my campaign and now I've got more? I'm more likely to use a delve in Dungeon than I am a whole adventure. Most frequently I pilfer them for ideas and encounters... though I hate their split format that I have to go...

    WotC 2009 Product Releases page

    Perhaps it contains the new paragon path, Shieldtastic Defender?

    Too much combat: problems with Pyramid of Shadows

    Thanks for the thread, I was considering running part of Pyramid of Shadows but wasn't sure about how to advance it. Cadfan, you said best of the H series... I agree with you on H1/H2 (haven't played 3 yet) but how do you compare that to the P series?

    Assassins in PHB3

    Yeah, good to keep in mind that nothing is set in stone! The previewed class names for Avenger/Warden & Sorcerer being a Controller are good examples of some changes... I'm fairly certain we'll see an Assassin class, but I could see them renaming it to something else.

    Need help with Radiant Evil Avenger-like

    The local Pelor chapter in the town has gone a bit crazy and the players are going to have to take out the main priest (invoker) and a few crazy Pelor-themed bad guys. I'm running one of the delves (I think level 6 or 7 one with the ogres and the radiant-themed temple?) as part of the adventure...

    Actually... I agree with you on the video part. I don't think video would add very much. I listen in my car for the most part, as well. I *do* think some stills would be useful to add next to the drawn comics (which are very cool) of the various minis and the dungeon setup. I'd like to see how...
