I was having the exact same problem as you and it works fine for me now as well.

Yeah, I hate to jump on the bashing bandwagon, but I sincerely hope that these are placeholder models/pre-alpha build work they're showing here. I agree that maybe 10 years ago this would be fine, but today looks just abyssmal.

Next I'd like see an example of a Paragon Path & an Epic Destiny.

Exactly. If level affected stat modifiers there wouldn't be any point in having stat values in the first place (as they would be meaningless). Strength, etc. would just be listed as a modifier as any other skill and not a number.

A stronger emphasis on cinematic action is exactly what I've been hoping for with 4e. But while these low level (and the odd paragon-level) playtest reports are all well and good - where are the Epic Level reports?! I'd like to see some examples of what combat is like in the majors... :cool:

Yeah, Drizzt was the motivator behind giving Rangers TWF in 2e, I remember when the designers first started talking about it (somewhere) and just going... whaa? I'm honestly surprised it stuck because it never seemed to be a popular idea.

What? Me persiflage? ;) Heh... A good buddy of mine in my old 1e group absolutely loved the FF, right down to the last horn-y bunny, bobble-headed mort. That was his book. So every once in a while when I'd hand over the DMing reins to him, he'd repopulate entire dungeons with obscure FF...

No. No. No. No. Lava Children. Alfred E. Newman F.T.W. :cool:

Fighters, Warlocks & Rogues interest me the most so far...

From what I understand of the GSL, Adam won't be able to make a 4e-compatable version of Iron Heroes (at least as a commercial version). :-( That said, if 4e makes it relatively painless to run a low/no magic game, IH would have an uphill battle in the market anyway...

JFEI, jonrog1 (a playtester) did hint in an earlier thread that there would be "swashbuckler" style fighters in 4e. (* emphasis mine)

I'm in a somewhat similar situation where my Namea (my current homebrew) will remain an Iron Hero game. Too much work put into it to change over and 4e is still too "high magic" for it anyway. However, I've pretty much talked myself into updating my Greyhawk-Planescape game to 4e so I'm sure...

Hmm... so if a 15th level fighter has 120 HPs, a couple of possibilities spring to mind. A. 1st level: 22 HPs (20 + 2 Con?), 7 HP/Lvl thereafter (5 + 2 Con?) - I can't imagine anything less than 14-15 Con for a fighter. Possibly no Con bonus after 1st level (static 7 HP/level)? or... B. 1st...

I see no reason why an ability check won't remain an ability check - no level adj. The bonuses by the Pit Fiend's stats most likely just apply to skills based on that stat. That way it doesn't need to have every skill listed out in it's stat block. If you need to know it's climb check - just...

Actually, Dragons got almost 21 pages in 3.5e MM.

Hard to say, they really haven't hinted much at what is getting pruned for future MMs. We know that dragons are getting 14 pages in the new MM and most of the usual humanoid suspects are in (kobolds, goblins, orcs, hobbys, bugbears, etc.). Yeah, I'm gonna miss the frost giant though (I have a...

As Han would say - Don't tell me the odds! :lol: I have, several times, seen players roll four N20s... in a row. 6 out of 20 does not stretch my imagination much. The coolest thing I've seen though was watching one girl roll 18/18/18/18/18/17 for her ability scores - rolling 3d6 (back in our...

Yeah, some interesting stuff to mull over here... I'm wondering if power attack adds 1 extra die damage to your attack (accounting for the first of the extra 3d12 damage). And if the vicious ability adds roughly 3 HP damage / plus on a crit, I'm guessing a +1 vicious sword adds 1d6 to a crit, a...

I've been itching to start up my Greyhawk-Planescape game again with the timeline advanced a hundred years to incorporate the new races on Oerth. IOW, all the PHB races, plus the rest of the standard planars as soon as I can do the conversion. In my homebrew game though - just humans. Though...
