What'd you call?

So so far, we know the Warlord has the following power choices at 1st level. AT-WILL POWERS Commander's Strike Furious Smash Viper's Strike Wolf Pack Tactics ENCOUNTER POWERS Guarding Attack Warlord's Favor DAILY POWERS Bastion of Defense Lead the Attack Pin the For White...

Apparently, the Warlock was supposed to be the second Controller, but over time, they decided that it made for a better Striker. Hence three Strikers and one Controller. Incidentally... Shaman, huh? Primal Leader, I take it?

Sounds cool. A little more variety with Controllers would be nice, as we only got one so far. As for the Psionic Controller, that'll probably be the Psion (They may change the name, but personally, I like it). Anyway, has there been any indication as to how many pages the PHB II will be? I...

One would hope so. Personally, I think it'll pop up. Well, we'll see. I'm also wondering what races we'll get. Gnome is probably a given. The Drow and Genasi may also appear (reprinted from Forgotten Realms Player's Guide, too). Hopefully the Half-Orc as well. What other races can potentially...

That 50% is likely a reference to the Martial part, so the Monk will likely be a Striker in 4E. Only question is what the power source will be. Personally, I'm hoping for a Ki power source. I really don't see the Monk as psionic, and as another poster pointed out, I'd rather those two particular...

... ... ... ... I want a flaming whip.

That doesn't simplify anything, though, because you'd still have to define which weapons can be used as a stake and which can't. Not to mention that you'd have to define what "keep him from rising" means. Does he stay there stuck like a bug with a pin through him? Can he remove the stake? Is he...

There's nothing "anti-competitive" about this, though. WotC is doing nothing to keep people from using the OGL. WotC is allowing people to use 4E. They're just saying you can't use them at the same. And even then, companies can choose to go back to the OGL if they so choose. And this has zero...

A Lich can do just as well as a Death Knight against He-Man. :P Biggest piece of evidence, though? Death Knights are created by the gods. Lich's, however, are created through wizard magic. And Skeletor was made a Lich by Hordak, another wizard. Yeeeaaahhhh, no. He's easily one of the most...

The intent there, I think, is for DM's not to have to flip back and forth in order to see the combat stats. So all the combat related info will be there. That doesn't mean, however, that you can't have additional information that isn't combat related (like vampires being kept at bay by garlic...

Not a Lich? I defy you, good sir! Skeletor is most definitely a Lich. Especially since his warrior skills, while impressive, pale in comparison to his Wizardry. And a Lich is far more suitable for a Wizard (even one who's dipped a little into Fighter skills with multiclassing) then a Death...

It would, but I doubt that's the case. After looking over the Vampire Lord's stats, again, it says that he loses Regeneration in direct sunlight. Seems odd that they'd include that and not include that he gets fried in the sunlight. So the situation is probably that they consider Vampire Lords...

Exactly. It's an out-of-combat thing, so it's not going to appear in the combat statistics. And really, how many vampire stories are out there where vampires turn others into vampires within seconds? That's something that happens over the course of time. The vampire has to bite the victim, the...

That's an issue easily solved with the inclusion of one word.

I'm hoping for a Ritual called "Create Vampire Spawn" or something similar, which only Vampires and Vampire Lords can take. The requirements for such a ritual could involve Dominating the target and forcing them to drink the vampires blood, then using Blood Drain to reduce them to 0 Hit Points...

There's only one single Epic Utility Power that you pick. No Epic Encounter Powers, nor Epic Daily Powers. Just one Epic Utility Power. How much does anyone want to bet that "Once per day when you die..." is one of the choices? And seeing as how there's all of one choice, it's pretty much...

Damn, you people are right. I didn't notice the lack of a vulnerability to sunlight. And I just checked and the Vampire Spawn isn't hurt by sunlight, either. Just the Vampire Vizier. What's up with that? Huh. Guess I was so thrilled about the utter disappearance of that stupid Slam Attack that I...

Have you seen any indication that it's just for NPC's? Because my impression was that it was basically DM's choice as to who could be raised and who couldn't. An NPC could be raised if a DM wanted that to be the case, and a PC can't for the same reason. And even if there actually were a rule...
