It was delayed for one week so it can include everything from this month of dragon and dungeon as well as hybrid character as per the article on the front page (though the updated hybrid character article today still has the sidebar about it not being available on the CB but I trust the former...

How will O-Chul destroy the phylactery btw? Not likely he can do it with an improvised weapon and it probably has some protections placed on it (if not by XYkon then by Recloak). Maybe he should throw it in the rift.

Well unless Xykon can craft it faster than normal, he needs 4 months to craft a new one. That is a wide enough window to kill him. Did I comment yet on how awesome O-Chul is? Time to start the Chuck Norris jokes again!

Giant In the Playground Games Holy Mother of Christ! O-Chul just broke the awesome barrier!

I personally think that the DDI was a great idea and probably contributes more profits than the book, though it does hurt book sales a bit. In my experience with roleplayers and other gamers who play D&D people belong in roughly three groups. Completionists who buy almost everything, people who...

Agree completely, the problem with most V shaped classes is not that they are MAD but that they don't have enough options to support each built well. The starlock for one is in far better shape now after Arcane Power than he was before. The same will happen to paladins and clerics with Divine Power.

Honestly I don't even get what a monster manual plytest is like. I do know though that hybrid classes need to be playtested thoroughly.

Hmm I just noticed, the playtest in the Calendar has changed to hybrid characters alongside a Design and Development article: Editorial Calendar I think they need to find some way to make DDI articles more secure and harder to pirate, and fast. Every article is available for free immediately...

Hmm yes some form of runecaster would be nice to have. Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed made a very decent attempt at a runecaster but both TSR and WotC D&D always lacked a well thought rune based class which is a same given how classic a concept runic magic is (they did make some attempts, like...

You could also do yourself a favor and find Faces of Evil - The Fiends. It is a fascinating read and one of the best Planescape products.

Well the WoW Bard april's fool joke was more of a Guitar Hero joke (and it would have rocked as a WoW class far more than those pesky deathknights! I mean the three builts were metal, rock and punk).

Well considering that Blackmoor is the original campaign setting, everything in it is by definition special, since every term it introduced was new:)

The great wheel and the inner planes were the biggest issues with needless symmetry in D&D. The inner planes barely made sense. The para and quasiplanes were often unimaginative, ridiculous, and practically impossible to adventure in without a specific array of spells designed especially for...

Actually no, male channelers are on average quite stronger on the amount of raw power they can manage. Saidar and saidin are equally strong but women simply cannot hold as much as men can. Moreover saidar and saidin are entirely different in practice, weaves that may have similar effects work...

Plus if your horde has just one of those, it can be something like a trump card and not feel terrible contrived.

Energy transformation field was a ridiculously OP spell from Magic of Faerun (which was choke full of OP spells) that survived relatively unchanged to Spell Compendium. It absorbs spells infinitely and uses their levels to cast a single spell. A living spell is a creature template from Eberron...

Maybe it's a fun sidearc where the players are forced to run low level encounters cause noone else is available for them!:)

The thing is, a massive horde cannot move fast. Certainly it moves slower than a few spellcasting harriers. There are many ways for the characters to delay this army and slowly erode its numbers and not all of them depend on spells. The geography for one is extremely important. And try this...

Wikipedia is wrong on this one probably. Psychikos is actually a lot closer to Ki than psionic since it means "of the soul". Soul is psyche in greek.
