Definitely voted Psion. In a game with wizards throwing down fireballs or lightning bolts, reading minds, using telekinesis, and a myriad other psionic things, they felt very redundant. Heck, in almost every edition that they exist (save 4E, which actually gave them identity and unique...

Abilities per unit time has existed since the dawn of the game, so I don't see what the problem is.

This, one million times, this! If the multiclass system can't support certain caster archetypes, but it can handle non-caster archetypes, why even have multiclassing at all?

The swordmage is the only viable character class on the list that isn't broken, but I do think a mechanic for viable multiclass casters is a much better option.

I vote for the standard 320 pages. Content as follows: Races: Twelve races, two-three pages each for 24-36 pages Classes: Twelve classes, five to ten pages each, for 60-120 pages Themes: Twenty themes, three pages each, for 60 pages Gear: Ten pages Skills: Ten pages Feats: Twenty pages Spells...

Tieflings were kind of a big thing in 2E as well, but that isn't the point. I disagree that they should focus on what was acceptable for the previous three editions and ignore the latest one. That would be a colossal mistake. They are better served paying attention to ALL of their source...

That would be all well and good if it had any basis in reality. Compare the past four model iterations of cars like the Camry, Accord, or Civic. Each successive iteration bears little resemblance to the previous iteration outside the number of wheels and doors. Oh, and each of these vehicles...

Well, then it is a good thing nobody talking about the Tired Old Standard Fantasy RPG (TM). We are talking about D&D here, where Tieflings ARE something commonly seen. Where half-orcs ARE commonly seen. Nobody gives a flying fairy's finger about what people's fantasy reading lists.

So because some people can't fathom the idea of more options being in the PHB, where player stuff goes, the designers are supposed to use up space in the monster book, where monsters go, for player stuff? How is this any better, AT ALL? If anything, it increases confusion on where to find...

Going down to four races, which may or may not even be all that popular outside of the Human, totally betrays their whole Uniting the Editions ideal. Every edition of the game has had half-orcs in the PHB besides 2E. Tieflings and Dragonborn are some of the most popular races in 4E, and...

Huh, I didn't realize I was advocating filling the PHB with races. I am advocating putting races that have been core races in the past in there, much like WotC claims they are going to be doing with classes. You are going to be hard pressed to find too many people that will advocate...

So, it isn't so much that you lack the will to place limitations on your own campaigns, it is you are annoyed with certain options in the game, so you feel no one should be able to use those options? And so, instead of you having to lay down ground rules when you form a gaming group, those of...

I disagree that it needs to be more frequent, but I definitely think it should be there.

I voted "at a later date". While I am definitely for including rules for classes and races from as many PHBs as possible, I just have a hard time with guns. I don't have a problem with guns in D&D, but I think they belong in a campaign variant rather than with race and class variants...

Except for the fact that they aren't just a duration mechanic. If an attack is going to force you into a bad situation, such as off a cliff, guess what you roll? Or, you hit zero hit points, you are now dying, guess what you roll to stop dying? And they are still present in the game...

This blog just goes to show Monte Cook knows absolutely nothing about 4E if he thinks it did not have have saving throws that you roll. I am pretty sure he shouldn't be allowed to mention 4E in any of his blogs anymore.

Hmmm, system doesn't do something they never said it was able to do, and now you are claiming it is going to fail. That is like buying a car and finding out it can't fly, and then getting pissed at the car manufacturer, even though they never said the car could fly. If I can play my 4E-styled...

All I want is for them to consider all editions, not just one or two, when they make the game. Pandering to just one edition over the others is going to piss off a lot of people. They want to capture the feel of D&D as a whole, 1E-2E-3E-4E, and that means some stuff might not be exactly what...

I don't see why both options should take precidence over the other. Modularity does require some things to be, you know, MODULAR. Same goes for the assassin and paladin, have both options on the table. There is no reason to force it to go one way or another.
