I am certain that they want people to be able to house rule things easily with the character builder. I don't imagine we'll get it anytime soon, but I bet we'll get it eventually.

I'm predicting Shadow and Ki powersources. I think they had to do three powersources for PHB I because you needed the iconic classes, but spreading powersources out over a year isn't the best.

And the dire bear can't fly, or use a breath weapon, or any other special dragon ability. Dragons are balanced around their level, not around some metagame idea about how dragon's should be more difficult then their XP value indicates.

Auto build doesn't use masterwork armor by default. It also makes the weapon the +5 instead of the armor. Which is 3 guaranteed points, one possible missing point. Scale specialization will be another +1. Or there's plate builds. Sticking a dwarf fighter in plate mail got me a 40 AC pretty...

The Fighter mark is a disability, it still gives the normal penalties to attacking all of the other characters, the bonus is only against the fighter.

I think it originates from this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandbox_(software_development) But I don't know for sure.

He is mistaken.

Clearing the Ground is a Stormwarden PP granted power, not a normal encounter power.

Here's the problem though. You have to make the combined total of all lost online sales of the book ever in the single week it takes to show up as a torrent. I mean it's out there now, it's not hard to pirate now. I wonder if WotC will start selling pdfs a week after the book comes out. I...

This is one of the big rule oversights with 4th edition (along with weapons as implements). The reason you won't find an answer is that there really isn't an answer. Being allowed to do things like teleport enemies straight up would add way too much damage to effects, but making it so PCs...

Truesight: The monster automatically sees through illusions within the specified range (in squares) and within its line of sight. ~MM 41 creatures with truesight by compendium

Overall it was wonderful. Two nitpicks, first the two pieces of art on the prince are totally inconsistent, barely in the same ballpark inconsistent, secondly the Prince's statblock refrences something that doesn't exist "cold wrath" Also, this article totally wrecks total havok on the flavor...

Blizzard has a fan submitted comic thing for World of Warcraft. I don't know whether enough people visit the Wizards site to make it work, but you could have prizes like a free copy of that months book and such.

a) Ignore it. b) Use Endurance checks, dock healing surges for failures c) Give some sort of bonus for sleeping without armor Remember to ask whether your players are having fun when tasked with worrying over whether they wear their armor to bed or not.

Just use more monsters of the party level to increase the challenge up to L+1-3

Scott, have you guys ever considered revising KotS to include more roleplaying focus/advice? I know quite a lot of people end up starting with that adventure and it shapes a lot of people's perceptions about the game.

Start of an adventure, PCs have woken up confused in an empty room with no memory of who they are or how they got there *after some interparty dialogue* DM: You hear footsteps from the room beyond, someone is coming. *party hunkers down* DM: The door opens, several humanoids talking to...

I think that part of it, at least part of it for me, is that it isn't all laid out in one book. Instead there's bits and pieces here and there and you stumble across them and it gives more of a sense of discovery and mystery.

The ability to double it by exceeding the DC by five scales better then trying to affect large amounts. So if you're trying to effect 20 squares you want to try and effect one and roll higher as opposed to trying to effect 20 squares.
