Isn't that a Bard?

Circle circle, dot dot, now I got my cooties shot!

Nah, when they introduce psionics, that'll probably end up being a fourth power source. Martial, Arcane, Divine, and Psionic. The Psychic Warrior will be the Psionic Defender, the Psion will be the Psionic Controller, etc.

You can easily integrate it by allowing them to case their spells as a Swift Action. They use a Swift Action to buff themselves with a spell like Bull's Strength, they use a Move Action to get next to an enemy, and then a Standard Action to attack. Works just fine. Check out what Rich Baker had...

Wendersnaven! I DEMAND that Wendersnaven become a playable race!

Yeah, I know. Unfortunately, WotC pulled their license for some inexplicable reason. What I'm talking about, though, is licensing out the old settings for 4E, so that other publishers can put out 4E versions of Birthright, Dark Sun, Ravenloft, and so on.

Yeah, it'd be fantastic to see Birthright, Dark Sun, and other settings come out, again, even if it isn't WotC that puts them out. As for Points of Light, I'm a big fan of the idea myself. After all, I'm a Ravenloft fan. It's also reminiscent of the Warhammer Fantasy World (Hell, there's even...

Man-At-Arms? :D

The difference, though, is that the former is jargon which impacts the game, while the latter is jargon which doesn't impact the game. If a +1 sword and a +2 sword pop into your lap ingame, you have to come up with some way for your character to explain the power of those weapons and to...

Well, the reason I'd like to see a Martial Controller is so that there's a Martial character to cover every role. And the reason that's important is for when you want to run a non-magic campaign. Do you know how awesome it'd be to have a wellrounded D&D party, with characters who fill the role...

I'd say Forgotten Realms without question, usually, but in this case I'm not so sure. I'm not at all happy about the proposed changes to the Realms in 4E. And this coming from a guy that absolutely loves everything he's heard about the 4E rules changes. Unfortunately, they're hammering the...

Yeah, doesn't make much sense for an orc to stop attacking the pasty wizard and go rushing at the heavily armored knight just cause he called him a name. Makes much more sense when that orc is being compelled by the power of the Paladin's god.

I don't see the problem with labelling such a character as martial. After all, he's relying on his own natural talents to get by. In this case, intelligence. Yeah, he'd be using a lot of gadgets and gizmos, but the Fighter and Warlord still need] to use a weapon, sword, and shield to get by, and...

Oh my God, WotC's doing PREQUELS, now?!? :confused: WOTC'S JUMPED THE SHARK!!! :]

You know, that would be cool. Like the Gnome Artificer from Magic of Faerun or Alchemical Philosopher from Van Richten's Arsenal. Kind of like an adventuring scientist. I can just picture this guy with a blunderbuss which fires smoke bombs and tanglefoot bags and the like.

Well, at least it isn't a failure of imagination on my part, as I'm not the only one who can't think of a damn thing. ;) Just looked it up on the front page. To bad it's not coming out in the starting PHB. It sounds like fun.

Personally, I like the idea of there being twelve classes in the PHB, with every three classes falling under one role, and each class representing a different power source. To illustrate what I mean, I'd like the class list to appear something like this (With the classes which may end up filling...

*GASP* +3 HOLY VORPAL LONGSWORD!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

True enough. Something which I've always wanted to see is a race that fulfills a similar role to humans in most fantasy settings. A race which multiplies quickly, is industrious, and civilized. Hobgoblins definitely fit that bill, although I didn't care for their 3.5 iterations (What with the +1...

I'm guessing the mystery race are Changelings or whatever that race from Eberron is. Hmm. Or maybe they're Warforged? Whatever the case, it'd be interesting to see a campaign in which either race conquered the world (The Changelings doing it by subversion while the Warforged do it through pure...
