Since it is a giant picture of a beholder and the link says, "behold," I am sticking with my prediction that it is either a. a high resolution wallpaper of that image or b. a link to all the artwork commissioned for the Class Compendium.

I agree with Walter that this would be a sub-build of the invoker. There is already some support for this in the form of the Divine Philosopher paragon path and the Lorekeeper epic destiny. I think we could build on that to produce a serious archivist. Also, good to see you around again Rechan...

Nevertheless, paladins (and multiclass paladins) may select Spirit of the Virtuous Charger (paladin utility 8) at level 10 legally in the character builder at the moment. This utility had the level in the printed book. This one eventually gives party-wide flight and speed boosts. They are not...

This will probably be repeated with the Blackguard since it also has a "paladin utility 4" called, "Servant of Vice." In this case, that is how it is printed in the actual book and in the compendium, and you can currently select it at level 6 as a paladin or cavalier. If Servant of Vice is ok...

Actually, no. The compiled version of the issue had the mount as, "paladin utility 4." I still have this compiled issue sitting on my hard drive. I am looking at it right now. The compiled version (not simply the individual article) was changed just a few days ago with no prior warning. Up...

In giving up the curse, binders lose out on the flitting shadows feat that lets you sacrifice curse damage die to teleport the enemy you hit (up to 3 squares). That adds a ton of control to every hit. You also don't get the joy of misty step + improved misty step + shared boon + bloodied boon...

These are definitely pieces of the picture WAR did for the cover of the canceled Class Compendium. Maybe that is a clue? It'll probably just be a link to a high quality jpg of this picture, or to a collection of all the art work that was commissioned for the book.

Actually I mentioned my list of gods and domains a few posts back.:D

I can certainly imagine a centuries old vampire who, suffering from ennui and alienation, essentially abandons his ties to the world and stops paying attention to the trifling affairs of mortals. Such a vampire might have a quite poor grasp of history; it never seemed worth his time.

Before Gargash died he horribly maimed Torog so that his legs are now useless. He also cursed him so that he can never leave the underdark (or equivalent in shadowfell and feywild). This is why Torog became the god of prisons and how the tunnels of the underdark and portals between it and the...

A preservation invoker that takes the flame of hope paragon path and multiclasses into cleric for a power swap or two can make a very good off-leader. A bard or a pacifist, high charisma cleric can make excellent off-controllers.

Maybe everyone gets their racial bonuses, one theme for their race (the racial power, and the option to take racial utility and attack powers) and one background theme (occupation or region of origin, etc.) to start. They can then spend a feat to gain access to one multi-class theme or another...

This thing is starting to look good. There are still some issues that I hope they resolve over the next few months: 1. The marketplace is currently the weakest part of the builder. It looks like they are going to overhaul it next month, and boy does it need it. 2. The ability to house rule...

Try to separate the game from the business. 4e might be a wonderful game but the decisions WotC has made and the problems that have plagued their recent endeavors do not bode well for their business. I think the system has all sorts of ways to continue to grow and stay fresh. Whether the d&d...

1. The classes included in the canceled class compendium are getting touch ups and (sometimes minor) updates in monthly articles. Are there any plans to extend this treatment to other classes (bard, paladin, warden, etc.)? 2. Are there any mechanics introduced during the history of 4e that you...

Indeed, but there is also already discussion of certain paragon paths (e.g. Kulkor Arms Master), power point scaling, beast companions, racial powers, the poor abandoned changeling, and so forth. It is a good place to post some of the issues that get less attention.

Whoops! Browser Settings Incompatible Mike Mearls has asked that mechanical problems (broken powers and feats, underpowered or under-supported classes, math fixes, gaps, problematic mechanics, etc.) be discussed and compiled in a stickied thread on the WotC character optimization board. Based...

There some pieces of errata I'd add to the list that I've mentioned in other threads (e.g. give the battlemind his darn MBA option already, fix the racial power hit bonus scaling, etc.) but otherwise I agree completely. Incidentally, Mike Mearls promised to look into the battlemind thing for me...

They made them evil gingers. I always suspected that red-headed people had made dark pacts with shadowy entities. Now we have proof.

While martial power 1 WAS basically just a book filled with pages of powers, the others in the series (divine power, arcane power, and especially primal and psionic power) were also chock full of interesting fluff including descriptions of magic, stories in side bars, mini-biographies of famous...
