One thing I just noticed about the Elven Accuracy power: it would appear to be most helpful for strikers, who spend time trying to set up devastating attacks that they really want to succeed. Of course, elves are recommended as a good race for rogues and rangers. I don't think that this is an...

It's within 5 squares, not within five feet. I made that mistake when I first looked at it.

I generally like it - spliiting off the wizard part has allowed them to produce a more focussed race. I agree the aura is a bit of an irritation: if we have to keep track of something, it should be a significant bonus, not a tiny +1. Little bonuses like that should be a permanent thing on a...

Even with the same total bonus, there's also the possibility of +4 to one stat. But I agree with Mistwell - it may even have no bonus/strong powers, +2/good powers, +4 total/medium powers, +6 total/weak or no powers.

The Elf write-up has a ranger that follows "Melora, god of the wilds." New, or a replacement for Obad-Hei?

Good! I like this "Alien Grey" Gnome a lot. I could really see them kidnapping people and whipping out the anal probes.

Under Rangers on P. 84 it says "Arrows fly from your bow as quickly as your blades flash..." which could be a hint. The elf ranger on that page has two weapons as well. But like you say there are a lot of pictures of dual-wielding rogues. Almost all of the them. Perhaps TWF is mainly a striker...

I think we'll have to wait at least a year before we can decide which class is overpowered. 6 months of play should give people a basis to judge what really is powerful in the new system and what just looks like it is. See the discussion here a few weeks ago about readers first impression of...

It's what Star Wars Saga does. In Saga, if a class has d6 hit dice, then at 1st level they get 18 HP plus their Con bonus. At higher levels it's the same as 3.5. People are assuming that it will be similar in 4th ed because we've been told that 1st level characters are tougher. Since we've also...

Good guess.

Dave Noonan (WotC Dave) has just put up a blog post about how the prison break playtests were run:

On the Wizards web site there's now a link to a new page entitled The Tiefling and the Gnome On the Set of 4th Edition. It looks like it will be a new cartoon, but right now I can't see anything there. Is it just me, or is the page empty for everyone right now? Edit: it's up now. I laughed.

Good point, I'll shut up about this now. That's a nice idea - very colourful males and drab females perhaps.

In R&C it does say that Barbarians and Druids have a similar relationship as that between Paladins and Clerics, and follows that with that "If the paladin is the sword of the faith, the barbarian is nature's fury given physical form." It implies but does not state they they have the same power...

No. What I am pointing out is that you do not have an argument here. Your opinion is that you don't like things that bear some resemblance to reptiles to have boobs. This is fine - I even agree with it. You can say that because they don't in myth and legend, they shouldn't have them. I don't...

Even if I accepted that, dragonborn aren't dragons. And even further away from anything to do with reality. This is the hexapod argument: dragons have nothing to do with reality. Your argument is based on real world animals to which they bear a resemblance. I actually voted "No boobs" in the...

If you were able to predict it, perhaps you should have addressed the argument. They aren't any sort of reality based creature at all. WotC can do whatever they like with them.

Reptiles, birds and mammals are all tetrapods. Dragons aren't. They're a fantasy creature that have some reptilian features.

They should have gone back to the source when naming these roles: Infantry, Cavalry, Artillery and General. Then when your cleric gets taken out all the other characters get morale penalties and a chance of going into rout.

Is here One tidbit:
