    The 8 classes in the PHB...

    mino? How about a minotaur? Does anyone think, instead of it being a playable core race in dragonlance only, or something that you find wandering sigil, as a merc, etc..they may have added it to the PHB? In one of the playtest or design diaries, it mentioned someone has a minotaur character...

    gods in the PHB and custom clerics/special powers based on them?

    I'm not sure if this has been discussed, but do people think they will go to the extent of having clerics gain different feats, powers, abilities, and even have access to special spells only associated to their gods in the PHB, based on the gods they choose? Maybe to help make them more unique...

    A minor rant: the Elf spectrum

    i think it's time... That they expand the system: instead of races, call them 'species' Then, have race for the cultural types (drow, regular, planar, wood, wild, etc). Sanjay

    Zombies! New Dungeoncraft article up

    oh yeah i agree..for generic humanoids..who cares...like in real life here, humans are fodder...drop a bomb..kill 100s of soldiers from 2 armies..if the clothes are all charred and their faces/skin, without lots of analysis, you won't know who is from which side. in an overall...

    Zombies! New Dungeoncraft article up

    sigh Yet another creature that i will spend the time on to make variations of that we use in my campaigns. I like having templates since 'it makes sense'. Anything can be an undead/skeleton , etc for the most part..but this new method is easier. Will just copy over stuff from the creature that...

    Can you define the role of the Balor?

    i disagree teh balor was meaent from initial concept to be a brute in combat AND a magical force to be reconned with. I know if they don't make it so, I'll have to modify it greatly to fit my vision of it, but you'd kinda expect such a creature, like someone above said, to be able to take on...

    Is 4th edition getting soft? - edited for friendly content :)

    but According to that, since players can always take a character with them that has died, they can always pay for true resurrect, raise dead, etc if they have cash or weeks later once they do....there is no risk in instant death since anyone can be brought back if the players go to get money in...

    D&D 4E OK OK. A *NOT* negative thread from me re: 4E

    ... 1) more 'stuff' for classes/races to do (feats for races/new abilities over time for races to change class abilities even more) 2) general streamlining of system 3) reduced monster stat block (although I liked random HD) As a note, what I do not like: Some of the cosmology changes, but...

    Per-Encounter/Per-Day Design and Gameplay Restrictions

    i don't think it's bad design... my friends and I have discussed, and most agree that DR/immunities is good. It also makes sense to us...one of my friends agreed with a quote i put on wizards.com forums a few weeks ago.. Even though this is a fantasy game, real mechanics of science/reality...

    Tiefling Tables

    tables i think they should have random tables (which you can always select from if your DM allows) for skills, etc. The way I do it, which I wil probably continue...after I update demons/devils as I want from the 4E standard :P, I'll use the tables I have for abilities based on the plane the...

    hint for new Forgotten Realms/Spellplague in Unsolved Mysteries of Dragon magazine?

    the spell Regarding the spell: I can type it up and send you the 2E ritual stats for that spell. I need to finish converting them all from "Cormanthor: Empire of the Elves" to 3.5E but may just wait until 4E and make epic 4E versions instead. It's a ritual high magic spell called "The...

    hint for new Forgotten Realms/Spellplague in Unsolved Mysteries of Dragon magazine?

    A blog (forgot who did it at wizards) stated that someone at the FR forum, discovered the hint they put there, that explains how the spellplague occurs. I am trying to find that post in the forums but am not having any luck. Does anyone know what exactly it was? Sanjay

    Things that you've heard that you especially like

    ... what I like: 1) races becoming important in that they have abilities that they can gain/grow with them, and some that affect their classes over time for a more unique experience? (sounds more like more powerful races in 3.5E when you use the level progression for them (ie. breakdown a high...

    Is 4th edition getting soft? - edited for friendly content :)

    For people who like save or die... you can easily just introduce it again. Just change spells like disintegrate, etc back to their 2e or (i believe) 3E version, and redo the save roll to the appropriate value, if needed. Me, I have no problems killing players IF they do something stupid...

    races & hp; what do people think of a more...well, real/logical approach to HP?

    Just wondering, a coworker and I were discussing and it appeared to us, that HP in general should be based more on race than class? we think that makes sense (example to follow) but what do others think? here was our reasoning: (kinda extreme case but it gets point across) race/species: blue...

    Game Breaker Spells - What are they?

    it doesn't really matter For those (me included) who like to have options (ie. every spell from every edition, every monster, etc)...it doesn't matter what Wizards does. We can easily add a spell back into 4E. It's probably harder for them to remove what they find game breaking and or to...

    Continuing your campaign or starting fresh?

    convert we'll be converting the current campaign over. it may take some house rules for a couple of the characters and we do have a bard and a barbarian in the party (and a couple planescape races...special races from the planes), so those will maybe need to follow the 3.5e version with a few...

    What About Dragons? (NOT the highest-level monster?)

    god no.... I hope dragons can still do multiple attacks, as they should be able to, as a person can use 2 weapons for an extra attack or a marilith with 6 arms can get multiple attacks. Also, if they remove spellcasting/natural casting from a dragon..that will prob be the first ability I add...

    Design and Development: Cosmology

    hmm some aspects of this i like..others I do not, or would need to see that planes i like, pandemonium, etc still exist in the current, 'hardcore' state as opposed to an easy area to adventure in (it's not meant to be easy!). I will incorporate some of this into my cosmology for planescape...

    D&D 4E 4E Devils vs. Demons article

    no the demons win wars as well. the war is ongoing because it's the concept of balance overall. tactics vs power/numbers. if one side wins here, that same side may lose in another encounter. overall , no ground is gained. As well, both sides of fiends are technically infinite (even baatezu...
