I cant' speak for myself as I'm yet to play long periods of time as a player do think whether or not I like the "grind". However, more and more I realize that the "grind" encounters are the ones that my players like better. I usually run non-important, easy and fast encounters and for them...

Negative. If a DM sets up a given encounter, as described on the DMG, to adjust for a 3 PCs group, they'll have a much easier time going through it then a 5 PCs group facing an encounter built up for a 5 PCs group. That happens because as a DM you'll have a much cheaper budget to work with...

OK, so I'm curious as I don't have a DDI subscription. They called it playtest. Do they say on the article for what product it's getting published/getting the full thing? Regarding the Deva speculation, I remember there was an adventure on a Dungeon Magazine featuring a female NPC with a...

Well, at least there in Germany you already got the core books translated and published. Meanwhile, here in Brazil, the people responsible for it still can't decide whether or how they're going to translate Warlord...

Depends mostly on the prices. Back in june when I bought the 4e gift set (via Amazon) I paid roughly 55% of the price I'd spend had I bought it at my FLGS. Then I also bought FR Campaign Setting, FR Player's Guide and AV, although back then the price was already a bit higher... Today the...

I once ran KotS with 3 PCs, and it went quite well. I had also a group quite similar to the one you have there (in terms of roles and playstyle): Eladrin Fighter (Spear + Shield) Eladrin Warlord (Tactical) Eladrin Ranger (Archer) It is worth noting though that I ran Kobold Hall prior to KotS...

As long as your players don't get the feeling that they're unchallenged and that no matter what they do they'll always live to see another day, I don't think you're doing anything wrong.

Hum... Slowing and Sliding people with Opportinuty Attacks seems rather sexy to me. Yeah, I guess theoretically they could make some interesting pseudo-Defenders, more than that, only seeing them playing in game to make a judgement.

I found it rather amusing that right now, the best Guardian Druids (stat-wise) are the Dwarves. Oh, and Booming Blade from the Swordmage followed by Storm Spike from the druid. To move or not to move?

What is missing from 4e? Rules. Rules are missing from 4e, although, I don't miss them, at all.

Dunno, maybe try giving them advices ingame, as whether it's a good idea to use certain ability or not (Dailies, for instance), also, keep reminding them about Action Points and Second Wind and such. It's quite easy to get lost in the beginning and just rely on At-Wills to avoid confusion...

As far as comparisons goes, I think it should work somewhat like Negative Levels, and not Level Drain.

YES! And it wouldn't be a bad idea if said alternative rules would match current year's Campaign Setting mood/style. That's somehow comforting, way to go Ari!

4 days ... What am I expecting? Hell, at this point I'm more than anything else expecting to be surprised. I don't really care if they're gonna be Shapeshifting Strikerish type or if they're Weather Mages, as long as they're interesting and different from the stuff we already have, with cool...

Level Adjustment and Multiclassing (Because it was too easy to screw your character, for good or for worse).

We've seen bards getting their own personal exclusive Rituals, it wouldn't be too weird if Druids could get their own as well, which could/should include (but not be limited to) utilitary shapeshifting. 5 Days and counting...

I'm very confident that they'll start presenting Psionics next July or so through Dragon Magazine Playtest articles. By now, their hands are probably itching to show us or tell us some stuff about Psionics. And besides, when you look back at when they showed us the playtest for the Artificer...

That's you! See, I knew I was right (well, apparently partially).

Sorry to disappoint you Mr. Morrus, but I actually think it was MerrikB ( I could be wrong tho) :p

I think I saw a Gnoll Huntmaster (lvl 5) somewhere.
