Not yet. I'm waiting to find out what they will be doing with errata.

Serious: Ask the DM to count the party as one character smaller when he/she is determining monster strength. Since this player has deliberately created a gimped character, he's not contributing. Not so serious: If the problem player says that this is the character he wants to roleplay, why...

Yeah, this is puzzling me as well. I can see why the defenders need more hit points; in fact any melee class can justify extra hit points because they will be exposed to a greater number of attacks. But why is the 4e Wizard squishier than the the ranged strikers like the Warlock or the archer...

Actually there's a third Wizard power: Confusion Lvl 27 Enc. The victim can move a number of squares equal to the caster's Wis mod. So there's Wisdom again. This is another disparity that's been puzzling me. Why do only those classes have such significant build effects? My guess is that...

Is here. I think the new breath feats will be popular. Edit: I took a bit too long to post...

For the Wizard at-wills I think the targeted defence is important. Kerberian's Monster Manual statistics summary shows that Fortitude is usually harder to hit than Reflex, and in the case of brutes is usually higher than AC. Lurkers are the only monster type where Fortitude has a significant...

I think the pure archer Ranger is a good candidate. All of the powers and feats you'd be interested in - and six out of your 8 class skills - are based off Dex or Wis. An elf can start with Str: 10 Con: 11 Dex: 20 Int: 10 Wis: 16 Cha: 8 and take Toughness as his first level feat to get 28 HP...

I think the rapid release and the power source mix may have been forced upon Wizard by two other decisions they've apparently made. Firstly core classes should only appear in the PHBs and setting player guides and secondly they want to produce the Arcane Power and Divine Power splatbooks. With...

I've been looking a Bastion of Healing as a good multiclass power for my orb wizard if he survives long enough. Per-encounter healing as a minor for the cost of a feat and the level 6 wizard utilities sounds like a good exchange. Of course, I haven't played at any levels above first so I don't...

On a similar thread on rpgnet Josh Harrison from Redbrick says: While Barsaive would be a good campaign setting for 4e, Redbrick licenses Earthdawn from FASA, so they may not have the right to publish it under another license like the GSL. Redbrick has never been an OGL publisher, so the...

True. But it wasn't just the class. The levels from about 15 onwards felt more like a chore than fun. The first time I'd encountered the problems of those levels combined with story that just didn't mean much to me to produce a pretty tedious experience. Maybe it's more enjoyable for GMs...

And you haven't been bored until you've played a bard through Age of Worms.

Given my experience playing through Age of Worms you've probably done the best part already. I'd start a different campaign.

The schism hasn't had any effect at all on the groups I'm in. In terms of browsing, I've found myself spending a lot of time reading the arguments here and on other sites. Which is odd, since it's been several years since I've bought any d20 or OGL products.

Or even just "Fiends"

Mine was preordered in February, shipped on the 8th and delivered to my door yesterday. I'm puzzled as to why they shipped them from Frankfurt, but hey, books!

The actual terms Demon and Devil are listed, just no specific monsters underneath them. Does this mean you can create new demons and devils but you can't use the old ones?

And the first new at-will power appears! Grasping Shadows seems like a very effective 1st level encounter power. Edit: and Illusory Wall is awesome!

Why people are attracted to halflings? Pedophilia, of course. As for humans, the extra at-will is very class specific, but right now they are so clearly the best race for wizards that I wonder if we'll see any eladrin wizards at all.

It's good to hear an opinion from someone with a bit of campaign experience! I have the impression that a lot of people who are making definitive statements about 4e character design have little more than a couple of sessions of play.
