To report on whether the final dragonborn are boobed or not?

Actually, I suspect there will be a decent chunk devoted to it. It's called death and dying. If you don't achieve the things you're destined for, it's because you died along the way... What I do hope we get to see, is advice and tips for smoothly changing destinies, or the tack taken to achieve...

Actually, elf will probably be my second character, which is ironic. See, I've never really got into the whole "haughty and superior" thing for elves, so I think that splitting them off so that "haughty and superior" doesn't have to be juxtaposed with "frivolous and impulsive" is the best thing...

I'll be giving our regular DM a break from something like a decade of DMing without more than a six-session stint as a PC. Well, assuming my run breaks half a dozen sessions, to be technical. In any event, when I get a chance to take a crack at a PC, I'm thinking an eladrin tactical warlord...

Quoted for posterity. I'll be circling my errors and mailing my book to you for a re-issue, Scott! ;)

I'm actually looking forward to the VTT as a means by which I (a generally convention-starved RPGer) can get my feet wet with the RPGA.

Or perhaps your players will learn to give perilous precipouses a healthy respect, rather than choosing to fight on the adjacent square constantly. Wow, look at the realism! If I'm fighting something that's been knocking me around 2 squares, I'm going to end my turn 3 squares away from any...

I want to take a crack at warlord. However, the Storm Warden PP really grabbed me, so I may try a Warlord/Ranger multiclass to take a crack at it down the line.

The 3 new core books a year thread got me thinking.. Will there be a problem where the power source books don't get equal weight/attention per class because some power sources have fewer classes to their name? We've got 8 core classes, half of which use martial, a quarter of which use divine...

Ditto. My tabletop gaming budget can fit 3 core books and an Insider sub/year, with some slop to pick up power source splatbooks as they entice me. That's definitely my happy medium.

I'm expecting the Ranger in 4e to be either entirely devoid of tree-hugging fluff in the power mechanics, or to have a plethora of power fluff variety, enough that a character can choose to eschew the woodsy stuff entirely and still not feel like he's completely boxed into X powers. The option...

Not to mention, I don't really see it as a "better" option for new gamers, either. Which is more appealing to try out D&D 4e, 3 years in? Buy PHBI, DMGI, and MMI, then, if you like it, purchase a PHBII, MMII, and MMIII, with the intention of picking up PHBIII when you get around to wanting to...

Or Multiple Attribute Disorder, as I'd always seen it. Either way, it describes a class that is too reliant on several high attribute scores. Monks are the classic example, needing above average strength, dex, wis, and con to really be effective.

I want a full write-up for the MacGuyver controller.

Monks seem like a natural candidate for divine. Yes, it's a specific, narrow subset of divine, but it features many divine hallmarks: They are held to a code/lifestyle to demonstrate their beliefs. They accomplish amazing acts through their will and faith (the monk's faith happens to direct...

Well, yeah. None of those are the womenfolk. QED.

That's probably a little *too* dirty for my tastes. Well, the switching mid-combat one, not so much the running away one (if, as the above poster suggests, xp is awarded for 2 defeats). I fully anticipate trying to lure the wizard into dropping fireballs onto non-minions, though, by placement...

See, the problem here is, you're assuming minions *can* get in a bar fight. Everybody knows that tavern brawls are PC activities. Thus, once said fight breaks out, the minions become PCs.

Elan will go missing this mission, and won't show back up for another year. Alternately, he'll injure his hand, so he can never play the lute again, but gain battle-hardening experience in commanding troops.

Actually, I think it does take that into account. In fact, the minion appears to be the exception to said powers that do partial damage on misses.
