I'm guessing he's refering to the 7th level spell that lets you convert another spell slot into healing energy. Syndweomer or some such. And Chris Responded to the question. It wasn't a class ability, though he didn't say what it was that did it.

Are H1-3 linked? I don't think I've read anything one way or another.

Well, since the original OGL was intended to drive sales of the PHB while opening up the d20 system to other publishers, I'm not sure why this comes as a surprise. It will be useful for it's (new) intended audience, publishers who want to know what they can/can't put in their books. As...

The only problem with this is you need a keyword you can use in other rules to key off the fact you rolled a natural 20(or whatever else is going to trigger the effects). If you don't call it "critical hit," what /do/ you call it?

The speed from having the aggressor roll attacks against a static defense is that he's already in the mind set of rolling dice, and particularily comes into play when the NPC wizard is rolling against the players. I know in our game, when we all have to make saves(or spot checks or anything...

http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/dreo/20071221a Interesting article. Down at the bottom are stats (in 3e terms more the pity) for 3 fire archons, the bottom 2 having 3e stats with a 4e feel.

I know that the book was delayed a week to my LGS because the distributor ran out. Either everyone assumed it would bomb of the book sold quite well.

Personally, I hope that their determinations that all the PHB*, DMG* and MM* are core is going to mean they'll all be at least open content. But time will tell, I guess. I don't even think they know yet. :)

We did get the article on elves, which wasn't due till January. So that probably superceded the one on Warlocks. But yeah, I was looking forward to the article on Warlock pacts in particular.

In 3.x, Clerics ended up looking the same because they all drew from the same spell list. Except for the Initiate feats, every cleric had the same spell list as every other cleric. If the powers your cleric chooses when they level up is more-or-less fixed, then you can build a specialty priest...

I was just reading R&C and there was a comment that the wizard Power Words(their per encounter powers) could be reused after a minute of rest. Since that matches up with what I remember from ToB, that may define when it's a new encounter and when it's not. If there are at least 10 rounds...

Great explanation of the major benefits of using a PoL basis for a homebrew. Even if you don't use any of the other published products, just not having to retcon your world to allow for a new class/feat/power source/spell/dungeon/whathaveyou is a good thing, in my book.

They aren't putting them into wizards, to save space to do necromancers right. Conjurers is going to same way. Wizards have the problem of being /too/ broad in what they can do now in some people's view(mine included), and this will help fix that. Note that not all of even enchantment is...

Wow. In 2 generations the military will be using arcane magic to buff up the soldiers? Where's suspended animation when you need it. :D

Unfortunately, that just may be true. *sigh*

I can't believe the number of people who are making wild speculations and labeling them as fact! Since WotC knows how cool vibro weapons are, and since they are in SWSE, it's obvious they're going to be in 4e. How can you think otherwise???

I may be reading too much into it, but the racial feat has a prerequisite of both "Elf" and "Elven Accuracy racial Power". This strongly implies that all elves don't have the power as a default, but that it's an option you can choose when deciding your powers.

If it is for the remainder of the untrained skills, it would be very nice to have them precalculated by stat like that. If I'm running an encounter, it seems unduly complicated to have to look in the skill box for it's base +, then add the appropriate stat in. And, if there aren't things that...

Aren't those the reason most empires fall to war? I can't think of one(except maybe Alexander's & the Soviet's) that fell solely to corruption and stagnation.

They have been talking about having a collection of modules on Gleemax for use on the virtual tabletop. So, the 3rd party publishers should be able to put up maps for the game(and, perhaps, minis for their monsters) if they're willing to do the work for it. Or, if not, I'd expect them to show...
