That's hardly what I'd call a winning marketing strategy. After all, kids don't buy the stuff. Parents do, either directly or indirectly. And do you really want to market a product in such a way that it'll result in strife between the parent and child and the kid getting his stuff tossed out...

All I want to know is, with the alignment restrictions being lifted, if I'll be able to play a Jack Bauer style Paladin. :D "WHERE DID YOU PUT THE ARM OF VALOR? WHERE IS IT!?!" *stabs Kobold in the eye*

I played in a game, yesterday, where several 20's were rolled, but most of the confirmation rolls were failed. And when damage was rolled, it ended up being mediocre (At one point someone critted with a D4 attack, and inflicted a whopping 3 damage). In comparison to that, I welcome these changes.

Thanks, but nah. Not interested. That's not an example that needs to be repeated. Especially since it's left a good deal of Realms fans flaming mad.

The Dark Powers don't necessarily have to be gods. They just have to be beings powerful enough to create and maintain Ravenloft. Whether they meet the definition of a "god" or not is immaterial.

I think you're forgetting the Dark Powers, here. I'm guessing they can appear in any way the creator wants them to appear. So if the Dark Powers want them to look like a mismatch of different prime material worlds, then they could do just that.

With the current cosmology, my guess is that Ravenloft exists in the Astral Sea. The Shadowfell, while bearing some similarities to Ravenloft, isn't an appropriate fit. The Astral Sea would be much better, as you can stick pretty much anything in the Astral Sea (From deific heavens to the Nine...

True enough. But the Caliban are already a player race in Ravenloft. And seeing as how Half-Orcs aren't goingto be in the upcoming PHB, they're gonna need some other race to fill in for them.

Well, as I pointed out before, one could always use the Dragonborn mechanics, but make them Caliban, instead. That's what they did with Half-Orcs and it worked out just fine. The same could be done with Tieflings (That wouldn't be a half-bad idea using both Dragonborn and Tieflings as the basis...

I don't think Lawful or Chaotic are gone. Here's a quote by Rich Baker. If that's what the text in the PHB says, then it looks like Lawful and Chaotic are still in.

I'm looking forward to seeing the need for magic items downgraded. Ravenloft is a setting that isn't supposed to be as awash in magic items that other settings are. With the need for magic items getting reduced, that'll make it easier to cut down the number of magic items in a Ravenloft game...

IMO, not only can Ravenloft be easily converted to 4E, but from the sound of it, 4E will be much better suited to running a Ravenloft game then 3E ever was. That's not a big deal. The books have also gone into detail about Drow Infravision, and yet they switched out Infravision for...

Detect Animals or Plants.

He's a Level 5 Ranger in the FRCS. It's immaterial, though, as Level 4 Rangers also cast spells. He'd have to be a Level 3 Ranger to not have spellcasting ability.

Sorry about that. Can I really be faulted for missing news which only came out today? :p It's just that in recent days I've seen numerous posts on other forums where people misread something, and then post something completely erroneous based on their misreading of information, and before you...

Huh. This is what I get for looking here for information, as there was no mention of that book. The Player's Handbook appears to have some magic items, too. Better then believing anything and everything you read on the internet. I've seen far to many instances of people taking what...

Got a shred of proof to back up the idea that there'll be Magic Item Compendium books? Because I haven't seen anything at all. One can just as easily say that any magic items cut from the initial release of books will find their way into the PHBII or DMGII.

I'm hoping for a +2 bonus which can be applied to any one stat, along with bonus Feats and Skills, myself.

You know what's a bit frustrating to me? People inventing reasons to complain. It's beyond irritating. If you want to complain, then complain about something that you know for a fact is going to happen. Don't start inventing scenarios of things which may happen, irregardless of any evidence...

He's right in numerous ways. Starting with PC balance. WOTC's working hard on balancing the classes. They may not succeed, but at least they're trying. That's a far cry from Rifts, where the same book that included Dragon Hatchlings and Glitter Boys also included City Rats and Rogue Scholars...
