Agreed. I think I'd be okay with resurrection magic so long as there was a relatively easy way to keep a dead person... dead. Perhaps if raise/resurrection required the corpse to be intact, and that destroying the body (burning/dismembering) would prevent anything other than "undeath"...

Interesting... I'm pretty sure I wasn't misremembering though so I'm guessing this was a change. Thanks for the link!

Chalk me up as another who's very interested in seeing some playtest reports on what adventuring is like in the heavyweight division... :cool:

Nice! Me likey... Me likey a lot. :cool:

Actually I do recall them saying point buy is the default (in a podcast IIRC), but the DMG will have other options. Actually, no they've said D&D uses different HP rules than Saga. There was a discussion not-so-long-ago where they were talking about using Saga characters in D&D and one of the...

Con still provides you with your Fort Def bonus, Con-based skills and very likely bonuses to various class special abilities. It seems to be shaping up that every ability score will have some power that it backs up...

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see static or very near static hit points in 4e. If the new DDM cards are any indication you probably won't even see Con bonus to HP after 1st level.

In 4e, the standard is now point buy, with other options in the DMG.

- No, other than we know it is by point buy and that you start off with higher AS than in 3e. - No, other than starting off with more than core 3e, but fewer/level after 1st. If you click the link to the info page, it goes over what we know...

Maybe the Marginalized Seven... :D However, if it makes you feel better, you could all get together during Winter Fantasy, get some kind of group hug thing going... Sing "Kumbaya Ghul Lord, Kumbaya..." Cheers!

Wow. All seven Al-Qadim fans in the same place... what're the odds... :lol:

I don't mean to curb your obvious enthusiasm, but this poll has been numerous times already over the last few months - just do a search and you'll have all the polling info you could want.

Hell, Big T imspired me to create a number of "Tarrasque-class" Great Beasts. :)

Still too powerful IMO.

One of the biggest things I'd hoped for in 4e is that they would make it harder to die, but much harder to come back (if at all). I think they hit just the right note on the heroic and paragon tiers, but anytime I hear that death is treated as a "speed bump", at any level, I start to wince...

I was actually quite surprised to hear that dragons would have different roles in 4e (some are skirmishers, some lurkers, some brutes...) and that all could be used as hostile encounters, regardless of color. I'd assumed they would all be solo brutes, but this is definitely welcome twist. Heh...

Cannot be brought back to life? Where did you pick that up from? That is interesting...

Perhaps only at the older age categories.

Yes, this is an unfortunate move on WotC's part -if true- and they should have foreseen the negative flak they were going to get if it ever leaked out. Even if I don't agree, I get why they would do this, but now that it's been "outed", it could very well undermine any positive buzz they were...
