Origin Aberrant Artificial Draconic Elemental Immortal Fey Mortal Undead Type Amorph Beast Humanoid so we could have an aberrant amorph (like a beholder), aberrant beast (aboleth), aberrant humanoid (like illithid), alternately, we could have aberrant humanoid (illithid), artificial humanoid...

Far Realm = madness and insanity -- corruption of thought and form -- realm of horror caused by the unknowable -- the creatures of the Far Realm lurk forever behind you no matter where you turn, infiltrate your mind to turn you against yourself, and reform creation into geometries never...

I think your assumption is incorrect and based upon a spell vs. ritual dichotomy that no longer seems to exist. With at will, per encounter, per day, and ritual spells, it doesn't make sense to make phantom steed a ritual. I think phantom steed will be a "per day" (i.e. prepared) spell and...

No. She is able to have LG clerics. Paladins are required to be lawful good but there is not requirements at all that they follow a god or what alignment their god must be. Thus, you could be a paladin of Boccob or even Cyric, though doing so would probably require that your paladin...

No, that is the historical origin of the word "bard" which has no bearing on its role in the game. Similarly, the historical origin of "cleric" ... ...does not directly relate to the heavily armored holy warrior the class represents. Templar or knight most closely resembles what the class is...

*smile* no, because at the end of the day, my character is pretty much guaranteed to have a "dark" origin shrouded in the shame and outcasting of one parent or another. honestly, I dislike half-x races by definition; they aren't races but rather hybrids. If half elves were as common as they...

or by shapeshifting the change the logistics of the entire battle (battling a humanoid is very different from battling a giant eagle, for example. In this case, they would be a controller. Leader seems to describe helping others do things better rather than "mixing it up" in combat. It just so...

I don't know that it is accurate to call the role breakdown a "system"; I see it more as a rubric - a way of generally evaluating the role / purpose of the class in combat. Clearly there is some wiggle room as we can see that both the cleric and the warlord in R&C are pretty heavily armored and...

Psionic power sources has been pretty well confirmed (necessary for Eberron and indicated by...one of the designers, i'm really bad at names...as being in dev with the rest of the rules). Nature power source has been frequently theorized by the community at large. Psionic Defender | Psychic...

I didn't interpret this information the same way... Currently, my archivist has to choose whether to prepare Burrow, Divine Insight, or Cloud of Knives. If he has only 2 2nd level spells to prepare, he has movement, skill, or combat left out. If, however, he had a power that allowed him to...

Naive = okay but chidish =/= okay? Anyway, on topic: You're first half makes sense, because there is actual mention of "Prof." but no where does the word "Score" appear. This number could represent a range, a number of slots, a multiplier, a divisor, a number of users, a number of components...

As the initial reverence was speaking of how the new multitarget attack systems speeds things up, the logical conclusion (until more information is provided) is that Logan (Wizards) mistyped and intended to say: emphasis mine. Otherwise, as has been pointed out this would not be any faster...

We also know that there are no saves, rather there are 4 defenses (AC, Ref, Fort, Will) which will all gain a 1/2 level bonus regardless of class (as will BAB). I think some of those discretionary abilities that you're suggesting will give options for a +3 to AC or +3 to Will or +3 to BAB. DC

World of Darkness not withstanding you mean? DC

I'm assuming in all of this discussion that you are referring to Acid Storm from the Spell Compendium. These ideas would all work great if it didn't have a GP value associated with it. Because it does, there is an assumption regarding the quality of acid (10 gp worth). Of course, if it didn't...

I'm sorry...the grammar guy in me won't let me ignore this... the verb of "revision" is "revise." Revision is not a verb. On topic...my answer on this would have to wait for the 4e psionics rules, without which no real discussion of Dark Sun 4e can be had. DC

The real issue with sorceress, goddess, warrioress, actress, etc is that the are based upon a flawed assumption: that the originals were gender marked to begin with. They are not. Actor, doctor, sorcerer, and god do not have anything linguistically masculine implied. However, culturally they...

Two advantages: 0 is the modifier for an average score, with poor scores having a negative number and high scores having a positive number. (poor = negative, high = positive). This is intuitive. +3 as an "average" is easy enough to work around but it isn't by any definition intuitive. DCs for...

They never said that elves were nonmagical and eladrin were magical. Also wizards and clerics are different animals in 4e. I suppose currently, where the only difference between the two is that clerics can wear armor and cast (generally) weaker spells, this distinction would be academic. It is...

I don't want this to sound dismissive or divisive...it is not intended as such... Honestly, though, it sounds like you are not creating a new form of D&D but a new game altogether. One archetype of D&D since it was first born was the role-based class system. Whether a magic user, a mage, or a...
