Previously I would have said some of the newer classes, but judging from the reactions, I'm guessing the feats chapter is going to be a very surprising one for some people. They have a Summoning power at every Daily Attack level, mostly angels and blades. They have a LOT of area burst powers...

In my non-Japanese copy, it applies to everything, but all the rest is correct.

That's it, nothing else beyond what is listed in the Monster Manual.... oh, they get a bonus language beyond Common, but that's the only other difference besides the power wording.

Copied from a similar question: They’re essentially the same, which just a little tweak that makes it better. They also get racial feats and a paragon path (Moonstalker, and it’s pretty vicious!)

You tell 'em! There are some really badass looking pictures of gnomes in there, though... much better than the ones used for the racial writeup IMO. Nope, Sorcerers have special daggers, but they don't count as implements. The Bards do get wondrous item instruments as implements too. There...

Three melee, one ranged. Actually, if you want most of the story, Wil Wheaton details them in the podcasts for his Avenger. Well, I can also say that the Druid's wild shape feats are mostly named after specific animals, and give a benefit in line with that animal. Shamans improve the existing...

Yep! They're in the magic items. It seems more Leadery to me, a lot more shouting. It does look a little like the Warlord. Int bard seems more controllery (tricking your enemies). That one I will choose to ignore.

The two that stood out are Harbringer of Doom (you're the messenger for some kind of apocalypse) and Revered One (sort of like the Contemplative prestige class, a seeker of ultimate truth).

As someone who has followed all the previews to cover them for my site, not a whole lot jumped out at me as surprising, but it did make me want to roll up some new characters and try a lot of these things out. Good. More consistent in style than PHB1 for sure, and it leaves out some of the...

It still seems like the Avenger's shtick is to hit more often but not do as much damage as other strikers. They have more ranged powers than I was expecting, so that could be a pretty interesting concept to focus on that. They have a strong "pursuit" vibe to many of the powers too. Sorcerers...

No new weapon types. I was hoping for the El Gabong Guitar of Smashing or the Combat Drums of Smiting, but no such luck. I must be doing it wrong, I rarely have that reaction to any game book anymore. Since it's mostly rules there's not much to react against, but if I had to pick something, I...

I assume most of them will be fairly objective questions and answers (like the ones above) and I take my journalistic ethics very seriously, and always have on Critical Hits.

Classes, Races, Paragon Paths (for both Races & Classes), Epic Destinies, Backgrounds, Feats, Rituals, Magic Items (mainly to support the new classes), and some minor rules clarification stuff. I'm only vaguely aware of the issue, but I can tell you that they don't get their Con to AC as some...

Myself, along with a number of other excellent bloggers, have received preview copies of PHB2. We are all working together to put together a pretty big event around it starting March 13th, and hopefully a series of other supplementary articles about the release. In the meantime, however, I am...

Rumor floating around Twitter is the revision will be up today.

Just finished listening. Those guys make as many "that's what she said" jokes as my group does.

This is what I do, and it still works with the new Compendium (whew!)

Quote from a game I was in recently: Ranger: What gender are you? Warforged: I have both male and female personalities installed. Ranger: You're running Eunuchs?

We had express permission to shoot the photos- in fact, they laid them back out at my request.

I'm not worried about ENWorld, for a couple reasons. I am wondering about two other sites (that I know of) that have printable power cards with the rules text in them... and don't have any ads or ways to make money whatsoever. I wonder if they'll be next. It also starts to blur the line at...
