The votes seem to be evenly spread.. This says to me: Depends on your table. If the DM doesn't want arcane magic to be possible in armor, then it's not. If the DM wants it to be possible with proficiency, than it is. If the DM wants to put in spell failure %, then that's how it works. There...

I think I'd fall in the "house ruler" category.. I like the direction they're going in, in the sense that they (plan to) give a simple base on which you can add optional rules and constructs with which your can personalize your game. In a sense, they will do some of the house ruling for us. I...

I dislike the +1 to all ability scores purely on a fluff-basis (not sure how I feel about it crunch-wise). Effectively, all the other races would be worse than humans with their ability scores, except that they are average with the one they have their bonus with. This means they're not "more...

Players: we're going to take a Long Rest *assigns watches etc* DM: ok, after 7 hours and 59 minutes, you get ambushed, so the Long Rest didn't count - sorry! :cool:

Haven't read it through all in all, but did skim over it and read things that interested me. Also, haven't had a chance to actually try it out in play. Some general things: I like the advantage/disadvantage thing. Saves me from those times where I have to wonder if it was -2, -4, or just 50%...

Herremann the Wise: In essence, this is a variant death/dying rule with a critical hit rule to affect it on top of it (since the actual hit point mechanic doesn't really change). Seems pretty cool, if I do say so myself ^^

I would spend money on a book with good player's options. I will not spend money on adventures that contain the same player's options, spread out over a dozen booklets. And I don't want to wait for some compilation to be released, nor do I want to be forced to subscribe to anything...

Squares are more practical in the sense that people who don't use the imperial system, don't have to fuss about with things they are unfamiliar with. It's nice that the imperial system 'feels' old, or whatever, but that doesn't mean the majority of the world should have to fumble around with...

I'd consider #7 and #18 to be basically the same one as the 2e ampersand, since they're just variations (and the ampersand would be redesigned anyway with a new D&D logo). The 2e one was my choice, btw (with an update to fit with the new logo). Maybe it's because I started with 2e and am most...

Usually 1st level, sometimes 3-6th level, depending on the setting the DM came up with.

Dungeon Master. I see no reason for this to change.

Hm, I would say that with a class with multiple alternative class features, you can attain the same thing as the multiple classes would have, except that the people who want to can pick and choose which things they want (which might not be present with multiple classes). For the new players...

Hmm... Upon reflection, considering an inclusive, modular approach.. The Paladin needs to be a LG-only class and The 'Paladin' needs to be a holy warrior class that is more of a fighter than a cleric and The Paladin needs to be a theme and Whatever else you can think of that a Paladin...

I understand the sentiment of PALADIN = LG only, though I am personally against restrictions of this kind. If only because it would require a seperate class (or several, if they are each as restrictive) to fill in the blanks for the non-LG holy warriors (that are not the same as Clerics). I...

Nicely done :) I especially like how you handled sundering, not making it so absolute, but still a noteworthy penalty to the opponent ^^ I don't think they're too weak or anything, since anyone can use them.. If anything, the ability to neutralize some of your foe's offensive potential with...

I agree with the Al Bhed, since they just had a different culture from the rest of Spira's humans, but the Cetra were definately not normal humans. They had an innate connection with the planet's lifestream (being able to communicate with it) - they weren't simply humans with special training.

Alternatively, you could also have an At-Will ability that costs a Minor action to enchance your normal (and/or special) attacks somehow (maybe giving it a penalty as well), instead of making it a damaging power on its own.

Wait. What? That's not 'metagamey' at all.. quite the opposite, actually, IMO. :uhoh: How is it metagaming when the characters bury their ally with his cherished possesions? I can see some characters stripping their 'ally' of valuables, so that course wouldn't be metagamey either (it would...

So, anyone else have any mini cards with 4th edition stats they're holding out on us unfortunates? Like, share the wealth, and such :] Edit: Oh, and I think the XP value will be 750 (lvl 3 = 150 [confirmed, I believe], 150 * 5 [solo - 875/5 = 175 = lvl 4 xp] = 750)

IIRC, you get all the rules without the fluffiness if you have the subscription, and only the name and a book/page reference if you don't. There will be no 'unlocking' whatsoever, though.
