How does one 'explicitly never say' something? Not being snide, I just don't understand what you are saying. Also, a character is supposed to get something new every level. I think it alternates between feats and talents. Third, attack bonus and saves will be a unified progression (+1 per 2...

But if the streamlining speeds up the game, players will get more opportunities to roll dice since they can get more game in. In one session, I'd much prefer 3 encounters where I rolled the dice 10 times in each over only having time for a single encounter that caused me 30 dice rolls.

Overall, I like it. I like that a nat 20 is an auto crit... I hated confirmation rolls. I like that crit = max damage instead of double, very nice change. But I'm torn, because I would like for a player (or even a monster) to be able to increase his chance of scoring a crit, rather than relying...

Cadfan... nice example! Felt like I was there!

Rechan... where can I get one of those 'pleasure plates?" :)

I hasten to add that just because some mythological names or concepts are included, that does not mean they all require representation, or that they must be rendered as faithfully as possible. Again, this would actually be counter productive. Also, an invented world can't be completely divorced...

For the most part, I like! I really appreciate the effort being put in to make a unified cosmology for D&D. I like what I can infer bout all elementals and the changes seem well thought out. However, I do think they may have went a bit too far. I don't think fire archons need a society or...

Thanks for typing this up... it's something I've been wanting to do but lacking the time make happen!

Cold wack fo-shizzle indeed, Josh.

Furthermore, WotC has the opportunity to capitalize here... 'Gish' is a 100% unique D&D term. What better way to further cement D&D as its own type of fantasy than to seize this and seamlessly incorporate it?

Love it or loathe it, the word's not going away. In this case, the best thing that could happen would be for WotC to formalize it in a 4E product as a real and important term. For instance: "Swordmages, also called Gish, blend arcane magic with swordplay..." "Some cultures refer to a Swordmage...

If I've said it once, I've said it a million times, not every over-exaggeration is entitled to be called a hyperbole! :cool: I think the rampant use of "cool" is more of a thing with our generation. (By 'our,' I mean me (I'm 35,) you (almost 37--early HB BTW!,) and most of the 4E design...

I know this is an attempt at humor (that also clearly shows your position on 4E,) but I'm pretty sure there aren't even that many total words in the book. The over-exaggeration weakens the humor. For what that's worth.

In the Features section of Dragon is a link to a new article, Ecology of the Fire Archon. Unfortunately that page is having issues and the link isn't working. :( Hopefully someone fixes it before the holiday!

Technique only: when asking a question, especially a completely unfounded one out of the blue, do not title the thread as a statement of fact.

Maybe humans will have stat bonuses now? My guess: +2 to one stat of your choice

No prob. For the record, it wasn't my question, and I was equally surprised when a thread surfaced asking the proper pronunciation. It seems there are a fair amount of people that pronounce it 'tie-fling.' But now they know. And knowing's half the battle. I'm one that thought drow rhymed with...

And this answers a thread from a couple months ago: 'tiefling' is pronounced 'teef-ling,' not 'tie-fling.'

I meant to go back and mention those pics in the thread on fighter I started... but I forgot. I do think that TWF will be an option. I hope it's modeled after SWSE, where it takes a while to earn it. I really ahte free TWF for rangers that's been around since 2E. Never made since. Time for it...
