Exactly. They're building the game around only needing three magic items, rather than one item in every possible slot with stat boosts up the wazoo. And the three items are items which every character would have. An offensive item and two defensive items (AC and Saving Throws).

Given something that Rich Baker said a while back, I think it's been a while since it's been a cash cow. Seriously, if the Realms were a cash cow, do you really think they'd be instituting these changes?

Nah, they said there's one mystery race. The Genasi are four. And the differences between Air, Earth, Fire, and Water Genasi are FAR greater then the differences between Elves, Eladrin, and Drow, for instance. So I doubt we'll see them get mashed together into one race.

Yep, they were one of the main player races in Planescape. I was talking about the Realms in specific, though. The FRCS has them down as one of the main player races, alongside Humans, Moon Elves, Sun Elves, Gold Dwarves, Shield Dwarves, Genasi, etc. Which is why I was more then a bit surprised...

Faiths & Pantheons lists 119 gods. Add Bahamut, and it's an even 120. 10 of them have died. How does 10 out of 120 equal "most"? Are you talking about anything in specific? Because I haven't seen anything about demons running rampant. Monsters popping out of the Changling Lands and similar...

Coexisting in the same plane doesn't mean they've been combined. Just look at the Fire Archon.

It confirms that the number of age categories have been cut down. However, that doesn't mean that they've cut the 12 age categories down to three. Agreed. They're going to want dragons available as opponents at most levels, so we'll see enough age categories to cover that. Six is a good...

If there were an option for not liking most of the changes, but being willing to play the 4E Realms, then I'd vote for that. That pretty much sums up my opinion, though. I don't like most of the changes, and wish they hadn't made those changes, but there's still enough of the old Realms left...

There are Swift Actions. That's probably what the Minor Action is. A renamed Swift Action.

Here're the magical items listed in the article. - Clockwork Blade of Venom - Bow of Death's Rain - Punching Dagger of Quar-Shan - Jagged Staff of Hellgate - Astral Mace of Blasting There's also mention of legacy items in the article.

It's not gone. Rich Baker has pretty much stated elsewhere that Thay's still around (as is Szass Tam), and that there'll be a novel series detailing Thay in the 4E Realms.

Here's the article.

1) Why would the Dragon need to be in contact with anyone? 2) Who would notice this? Say the Dragon did feel a need to keep in contact with a local town guard for some inexplicable reason, and he sends a Dragonborn to talk to his sources. A) Who would raise an eyebrow at some random...

Dragons don't lair in populated areas, so unless the FBI's got the dragon under surveillance, no one's going to notice a couple of minions running about. Nevermind that there're numerous ways to avoid getting noticed. Secret passages, for instance. If you're going to go to the trouble of having...

Is there anything stopping them from using Cthulhu in the Core Pantheon? If not, then it's a damn shame that they didn't go for it. Cthulhu as the lord of the Far Realm would've been fantastic.

Bards. Besides, Leaders are more then just healing, and also includes buffing. And really, if you think that Arcane Leaders are bad, then how about Martial Leaders? They have no Divine spells to heal. And yet we have the Warlord. In comparison to that, an Arcane Leader is no trouble at all. I...

If dragon scales are the dragon equivalent of fingernail clippings or hair, then I don't see the problem with anyone using it. I guess it all depends on the nature of dragon scales. Can they be popped off the dragon without hurting the dragon, like giving someone a haircut or cutting their...

LOL! Priceless! :lol:

I forget which company is doing it, but there's one who's taking donations for the $5,000 fee. I don't see why Green Ronin can't do the same. If you want to see Green Ronin go 4E, then put your money where you mouth is. Hell, you wouldn't have to put all that much. I'm sure Green Ronin has MORE...

I still shudder at the thought of the "Magical nipple clamps". :confused:
