True, but expensive. Also, not possible if you're not prepared for unexpected situations. If your horses die in the middle of the wilderness, and you're 5 days out from the nearest town by horseback, you probably don't have 20 scrolls of mount ready. Currently, if you know the spell, you can...

I don't think anything to do with errata will be tied to the monthly DDI fee. I haven't seen any quote which indicates it does. You would have to pay a small one time fee for the pdf version of a book, which presumably would get updated with errata as it came out, but nowhere has it been...

I just had a thought this monring which I hope isn't true, but may be based on the new spellcasting system. Currently, if you had a special situation come up, you could prepare a large amount of your spell slots for utility spells. An example of this was at 8th level, my wizard prepared...

I'm also planning on ripping out some of the rules fixes from 4E and putting them into 3.5 if I don't convert, but I'm still on the fence - lots of cool sounding things in 4e, and lots that make me cringe.

One options to reduce the stat boosters is to change it so that only one stat can have an enhancement bonus at once. I know that by high level, I often have 3 or 4 boosted, and even at mid levels I have 2 or 3.

I still just don't like the whole 'Role' concept. It feels to me that they're going to have to pigeonhole classes into one of these, instead of just saying, lets make a class cool with different abilities from the other classes. I also think it will lead new players to have more of a "do what...

Another thing that bothers me about this change is the implication that: a) this simplies and makes the demon/devil split more logical b) that this will therefore make it easier for new players to learn the game I have to refute these assumptions because: a) since when does logic have...

Actually, I read the story in the Associated Press, but unfortunately, I can't find a link to the original story anymore as it's too old and the news sites I use don't keep them around that long. Even if it was a false story, I made the remark in a humorous example.

Count my vote for another one who's not happy with combining succibi and eryines. I'm indifferent on the other changes (thought probably would have prefered not messing with the devil fluff). My biggest concern isn't the combination in a vacuum, but instead about how many other changes are...

In one of the blogs or playtest reports fire snakes were also mentioned - though they could have been non-MM or templated snakes, but I'd say snakes are definately in! :)

I definately don't like hp threshold for most spells (though I'm fine with them for power words), because that basically means that fighter types with more hp are more resistant to lots of spells compared to low hp classes like wizards (who should be better at resisting spells which target the...

Actually, what would be cool is a conversion/edition index database. This could list every class, feat, spell, monster, etc, where to find it in what product and what edition, and at the same time, let you know if it was converted to 4E yet. It wouldn't need to have any actual game...

I don't have any special requests for 4E, but I would request FEWER products per year. My single biggest complaint about 3E and 3.5 especially is that they came out with just too many products in a year. That's my theory on why sales were down on non-core books - most games simply didn't have...

I don't think the feat is underpowered. Sure it only lets you pick one maneuver, but that feat lets you get a class ability for another class without taking a level in it. Think of it as the equivilent of a feat which let a non-spellcaster to take a 1st level spell usable once per encounter...

These are the questions I emailed Tuesday. 1) Can you explain how 4th edition simplifies without changing the rules to D&D Lite? As an example, from what I’ve seen of the Star Wars Saga skill rules, which have been indicated to be a preview of 4th edition, it seems that they remove...

Mike, I have two big concerns about DDI. First of all, it's all bundled together from what I can glean from the various posts, Gen Con announcements, etc. What if I want the DM Tool suites (mapping tool, digital minis through the maps, and character gen tools) but don't really care for the...

I remembered one other thing I asked about. I asked about how the D&D Insider tools interact with user generated content and intellectual property ownership. I basically asked that since Gleemax has stated that anything you post on your personal page there can be used by WOTC, what about user...

I just got back from Gen Con and on the main news page I didn't see a few tidbits I picked up from direct questions to designers. I asked about armor in 4th edition and if there will be more than 3 types worth wearing and got an emphatic "Yes!". I was told that every type of armor will have...

Actually, I wish 4th edition would be more like 3.5 II. From what I've heard at Gen Con and read about since coming home, 4th to me looks like D&D lite, which is not what I want. I would have loved a 4th edition which made evolutionary changes, fixed things (magic item creation, grapple, etc.)

Maybe not at 6th level, but for 9th or at the latest 12th level I like Glorious Weapons divine feat from the Complete Divine. It basically lets you put the good descriptor on all allies weapons within 60 feet when you expend a turn attempt. Very useful against all sorts of demons and devils...
