Sheet. Today I took the Essentials character sheet and modified it into a foldable half-sheet character sheet not unlike those gameday pre-gen character sheets. (Yes, fold it right in the middle.) It's perfect to save precious table space. It's perfect for beginners. It's perfect for pre-gen...

Suck-ini... perhaps? Don't know... -YRUSirius

Though it is kinda telling from a business and marketing point of view, that they are apparently abandoning the old product lines of new PHBs, DMGs, MMs and 'classic' power books. It's a restart, a new beginning of the product 'D&D' - not just a new ramp onto the highway - it's more, it's the...

Well, just because it's compatible does not mean that it isn't supposed to be the new basis for the game going forward, non? That's all I'm saying. (Btw, it isn't a new edition. :P) -YRUSirius

Well, D&D Essentials is a new "half edition" insofar that it will be the new basis for D&D going forward. They explained this in their preview articles in great length. -YRUSirius

Every hero should have a weakness - everything else is boring. -YRUSirius

"Don't you dare have an achilles heel, my dear character!" :D -YRUSirius

Ding, ding, ding! :) -YRUSirius

I suppose this is the new feat layout in the coming books. -YRUSirius

Maybe something like +1 attack to light blades, the shortbow and crossbows? -YRUSirius

The great thing about the new power cards is the infinitely better layout. Just some simple things for example; designated space to fill in the specific modifiers. This is as easy to read as the power layout in the books. The old power cards layout wasn't that clean and elegant. -YRUSirius

Great! Thank you very much, Thalmin! :) You're da man! -YRUSirius

Alright, so has someone some nice pictures of some power cards and the character sheets for me? :) -YRUSirius

So there's the adventure "Reavers of Harkenwood"... it's in the DM's Kit! How did you find the pics? Edit: I'm a big fan of round tokens! :) -YRUSirius

I heard some very good things about it. Very beginner friendly and it's got some oldschool feeling mixed with cinematic combat. -YRUSirius

That's another big point, correct. It's just that I don't think that they will decide to reprint the PHB with all the errata, if the D&D Essentials product line is going to be successful. :) - YRUSirius

Nah, for monsters just take the stats of goblins, orcs, hobgoblins, bugbears etc and reskin them as darkspawn. Darkspawn have the same function in DA as the goblinkin in D&D. Ah, and I'd take the essential classes I think. -YRUSirius

That's why I think that the decision to reprint PHB or not hasn't been made yet - atleast officially. But when the decision has to be made, they will decide to not reprint PHB, cause they'll have a new basis for new and old players going forward with the one rule book called Rules Compendium...

Or he could even copy it, cut it out and have an instant token! Eh, what about that? ;) -YRUSirius

Quick! Drama! Nerdrage! Drama! -YRUSirius
