You see, I was positive from the get go, even about D&DI stuff, and every piece of mechanical news I've heard has made me more happy about 4e. The fluff doesn't bother me. Some of it I like, some of it is very 'meh', but none of it raised the sort of ire it seems to raise in some people here...

Option...well, 4.5 maybe... I'd like to be a teacher, but I can't see I'd be any good at it. I'm appalling at discipline. I'd be that supply teacher that you hate having cover your class because little to no work gets done and the room's a tip. However, my Fiancee's a newly qualified teacher...

Wow, I was clearly looking at the wrong part of the initial image. I saw the trog, went "Meh.", then I saw the Gargoyle. I like the gargoyle. Very cool looking. Makes me want to include them in an adventure.

Probably, provided when we try out Keep on the Shadowfell we like it. I'm optimistic because I like what I've seen so far, and just hope it lives up to the promise and my friends see it in the same light.

I like this idea a lot as an answer to the issue of levelled PC class NPCs sitting around in temples all day, writing their sermons and waiting for the party to come in with a disease or a dead body.

I voted the last one as well, because, quite honestly, it won't make a difference to me. If I like the game, I'll play and enjoy it regardless of the naming conventions. As far as I'm concerned, there has always been fluff in my crunch (noting that my crunch started with 2nd Ed AD&D). If that's...

I'm not by my PHB, so forgive me if I'm wrong or miss some, but (as mentioned by someone else) there's Mordenkainen's Disjunction and Evard's Black Tentacles (Mordy at least is a Greyhawk NPC). I don't know whether the Bigby spells are there, but if they are, they can be added to the list. Is...

Really? Sounds nothing like it to me. There's a huge difference between "This ability prevents the target from targetting anyone but you" and "Monsters attack people depending on (in this order): Who has done them the most damage; who has done their friends the most damage; who is healing the...

And Golden Wyvern Adept may be different in the SRD. If it is, would that make the people complaining about it here go, "Ok, fair enough. That doesn't matter, then."? The point of that list is that there has always been assumed flavour from one world in the PHB, but people don't complain about...

Plus, of course, there might be characters who lose some of their potent powers when they become Bloodied. No amount of AC boosting is going to take them back past the threshhold, but a dozen or so hit points of healing could, if only for one attack.

That is, unless the Wis bonus to the Heal is the Wis bonus we saw on the Spined Devil card, and it's initial Wis bonus + Half level, in which case, it scales fairly nicely (and starts off essentially as 16 + initial wis bonus)

As well as agreeing with the sentiment that Zombies!!! is a great game (even without the bag o'zombies), I'd like to point out that if you are a fan of the Evil Dead Trilogy, then MidEvil by the same people, and following similar principles (only with Skeletons instead of Zombies and the Middle...

Well, everyone's entitled to their opinion. It's just a shame that they aren't all expressed in the one thread... As for the problem with the feat name, surely it's no worse than Tenser's Flying Disk or Mordenkainen's Disjunction. These are spells whose names assume you are using certain NPCs...

Personally, I prefer "They don't like it up 'em!" This is where I realise that there may be very few people reading this who have actually seen "Dad's Army"... Anyway, I do like this idea, if it is indeed how Combat Advantage'll work. A flat bonus given to the attacker, no subtraction or...

Also, with it being a feat, that Warlord who grabbed some wizard powers through multiclassing needn't take yet another wizard (level/power) to gain this ability. He can take it as a feat and not (presumably) lose out on another warlord power choice. Sure, it'd be sub-optimal compared to a...

They weren't in 2nd Edition core, so if you were like me and started with 2nd ed, you would have to work your head around them suddenly appearing.

I'm also looking at Midnight but, being a lazy sod with no experience of the setting, I was hoping there would be a printed adventure or two, or even a campaign. Is there?

The problem I see with having Warlocks making pacts with deities is that you're dangerously close to stepping on either the Cleric's or the Paladin's toes (or both). On top of that, see the number of people complaining that there are three "Elf-ish" races confirmed for the PHB? Don't you think...

Bullywug! Bullywug! Oh, Ok, not Bullywug. Seriously, both the Shadar-Kai miniatures/Shadowfell and Orc Orc King lines of reasoning work for me, so either of them seems distinctly possible. I'd prefer Shadar Kai, just because it's new and interesting. I don't want Drow or Warforged, because...

I'm busy being intrigued by the undead taking a critical hit. As for the rest between combats, that may be to symbolise "per-encounter" stuff recharging...
