I'll post an example of what it would look like tonight. I have a lot of the cleric powers done. I'm mainly concerned about the legality because I do not think I can post Power descriptions whole sale or as comprehensive summaries. At the worst, it's a potentially useful tool for sorting...

Ack! Seriously though, I like High Crit weapons. Particularly for Two-Weapon wielders. If I choose swords for thematic reasons, I'd probably choose the scimitars over the bastard sword simply for that extra damage on a critical. It's a situational bonus, but with all the attack rolls I'd be...

I... I can't believe I'm saying this, but... I like twin scimitars! Please don't kill me.

I don't believe Encounter powers go into your spellbook. I think it's Daily and Utility spells only. I could be misremembering that though.

It's an attempt to demonstrate what some assume can't be done by 4th edition. Specifically, the warrior wielding a bow with heavy armor. Which actually can be done.

I've started putting together a spreadsheet which will eventually hold all the Powers for all the classes, with the idea that one could sort and filter Powers by Source (Arcane, Divine, Martial), Class, Level, Keywords and more in order to quickly look up Power choices, get a general idea of...

I am now mulling the possibilities of a gelatinous cube political candidate. Somewhere there is now a town with a cube for a mayor.

Still plenty of options, just not the same options available in 3e.

I think that is intentional. The idea being that the DM tailors treasure to the party's needs, rather than handing out 15 +1 guisarmes that nobody can use effectively. It might create some awkward assumptions about the game world. Weapons above Heroic tier should probably exceedingly rare...

I like Kordeth's solution. Or maybe replace the saving throw reroll with a bonus to hit with Fear spells. Say, +1?

I don't know about anyone else, but I personally don't understand why you believe this can't be done. The core story assumptions do not prohibit your assumptions. Are all the mechanics there? For PCs, no. You may have to build some of those yourself. Some suggestions have been offered for...

Nice. Sorry you had to go through the hassle. I just got notification that my books have shipped. Hopefully that's a good sign. I've never had problems after shipment, but there's a first time for everything I guess. I'll believe it when they're in my hands. :)

Which may in fact be an error. I don't remember what the Attack is on that (Probably Wisdom vs. Fort/Ref/Will), but if you cannot add your implement bonus to attack/damage on the power, it probably won't scale too well.

3e's Epic levels were tacked onto the original system, and can't really be compared to 4e's. Better to compare a 20th level 3e to a 30th level 4e. And even then, I wouldn't bother to make such a comparison because the systems are very different. In 3e, yes once character can do everything...

The problem with that is that Paragon multiclassing is significantly inferior to choosing a Paragon Path. Better for the cleric to simply choose one of the Fighter's PPs rather than his own, if he really wants some Fighter-like options.

Multiclassing is pretty restrictive. Can't really disagree with that, and given the multiclassing standard in 3e, I can see why it bugs folks. While I liked the granularity of the system, it presented its own strange bugs (e.g., massive Save boosts) and in practice ended up being less free...

Hmm... Orcus has a Teleport movement, doesn't he? If I recall correctly, immobilize doesn't stop one from teleporting.

Makes sense to me; it's not just undead people are afraid of, but the threat of undead. Essentially, it's fear of the unknown, which is pretty real and can be particularly frightening. Anyway, I like the article. This digital format is really nice, very easy to read and, statblock errors or...

It's dirt brown.

I really think that not having the DDI ready is something of a mistake on their part. However, I'm not buying the books for the DDI, and neither is anyone else apparently.
