Our FR campaign will end just about the time the new FR CS comes out, but I will be playtesting 4E bbefore then, I'll put together a PoL home brew to play while I decide whether or not to switch to 4E FR. Plus we Have an Arduin Eternal campaign a friend is DMing when that comes out. Bel

If your trying to force your opinion on another person then who is being unreasonable? As long as his reasons for not changing are valid in concept, then let him be, forcing it is only going to alienate him from you. If his reasons are financial and not 'the sky will burst into flames' let him...

If 4E can keep the number of power sources to say 7 or 8: martial arcane divine shadow psionic primal artifice Then use the power source books to open up new feats, powers, and abilities to allow customization of classes introduced in the new PHBs, as well as new paragon paths and epic...

Emphasis mine. I think RangerWickett hit on a major point here, a large portion of mythology revolves around a single hero undertaking an overwhelming task, often with help from a diety or two whether in the form of guidance, equipment or heritage and persevering despite the opposition of...

Maybe the devs should put a feat in the PHB called Gimme, the player takes the feat then when the player sees a power or ability he likes he says "Gimme" and the DM lets him have it, with a 10 ton weight. Wait till we see the whole rule set before jumping to conclusions. Bel

One of the other games I play in a lot is Arduin and it has many races, the newest version has approximately 21 player races ranging from humans to centaurs and phraints (similar to thri-kreen, sort of). So my player races for 4E would include; Archon* Centaur Dragonborn Drow Dwarf Eladrin Elf...

I voted low, but I included new power sources in my descision. If 4E can keep base classes to 3 or 4 per power source and keep the number of power sources to say 7 or 8, i.e, martial, arcane, divine, shadow, psionic, primal, ki and/or artifice depending on how the monk is classified. Then open...

Cavalier is mentioned as a paragon path in races & classes, Archer as you say would definitely step on the Rangers toes and Alchemist, if implemented would not be a martial class. I am at a loss to come up with new classes as I don't really know what will be covered by the PHB rules and what PP...

I think they may go in a different direction, putting in more options for different builds of the base classes already presented, maybe a couple of new classes and definitely new paragon paths and epic destinies. Maybe different weapon styles for various weapons, unarmed combat, etc. And I agree...

Before anyone starts going on about cool wicked abilities of monsters, let's see what will be in the PHB first, there may be even more wicked moves in it. Bel

Since the Dragon #361 article is the more recent of the two sources I believe that Melora is the name decided on for the god of the Wilderness. Bel

I picked Blackmoor, Planescape, Ravenloft & Spelljammer. I haven't seen Blackmoor in years and if the setting is available I say go for it! Of the other three I have played in Ravenloft and Spelljammer and think they could be great change of pace settings if divorced from the multi-setting...

Of the ones I've played in these are the ones I'd spend money on: 1) Spelljammer 2) Ravenloft Of settings that I've never got to play in: 1) Planescape (especially with the new cosmology) I play pretty much in the FR and am really only looking for something with a different flavor for a...

Legacy was 1e-2e halflings and it seems no-one liked them all that much, I say dump the kenderized halfling and bring back gnomes as the small race for the non-warrior. Take them back to their folklore roots, craftsmen, pranksters & illusionists. Or have them take over the halflings role in 4E...

Chainmail was about as simulationist as D&D got, it went downhill from there. Bel

From Logan Bonner's blog at WotC. One of the biggest discrepancies I think people make is when talking about any 4E article is that they use 3.x items, monsters, etc as a comparison for what ever the article is about. Which is why I searched out LB's blog, it states that magic items have been...

I voted 50% as I tend to go heavy on story and social interaction, however that 50% is an overall number, some sessions are like 90%, while others are practically nil on combat. I'd like about 50% in the new edition, but be able to do 50/50 most sessions. Bel

Congratulations to all. Bel

I voted for literacy due to the fact that not just PC's should be literate, but NPCs as well on a case by case basis. Shopkeepers and merchants should have at least the rudiments of literacy, maybe not the workers in the field but some may want to better themselves or have fallen from higher...
