I like the per-encounter abilities, and the fact that buff spells last the encounter... But, Am I the only one worried that the game will end up feeling a lot like (need to be careful here because I know where this can go) playing my world of warcraft character. Now before we all go off the...

Ya for the last few months (for personal reasons) I have been a "Glass Half-Empty" kind of guy. With 4e I see some things I like (defense as saves, maneuvers for fighters, simple encounter building, longer sweet spot) and others I don’t (unified progression, spell schools gone) I’m planning...

wow, You are one of the most "glass half-full" people I have ever seen post on these boards... I wish I was half as optimistic as you! ::: queue evil genius music ::: Now if we can just distill your optimism and sell it! Not only would this be a better world… but we would be rich Which...

I can also state that Paradigm Concepts has yet to get a copy of the 4e rules set... I have a feeling it may be still out in play-test rotation, only reason why we wouldn’t have the rules set by now.

Well Rituals will still "feel" like spells. But I have a feeling spells in combat are dead and replaced by static spell like abilities; for example your per day ability wizard strike and your 1/day may be wizard scorch. Of course, I'm feeling a little pessimistic today so take that with a...

I join you in your sadness...

That’s because everyone is stuck on the "hit points = physical damage" I think it would have been better of they would have gone Wounds/Vitality and just divide the hit points by two.. The way 4e works you have not taken any physical damage till the character is bloodied, before that, its all...

well there is an easy way to fix this... copy and past the SRD when its out and rename the feats you want to rename (which I have a feeling will en dup being quite a few for my home games)

how so?

I have a feeling you may be on the ball here.. you will be forced to muticlass to gain some abilities that should be feats. If someone wants to play a duel warhammer fighting cleric of the god of war.. they should be able to learn it with a feat, not buy being forced to take levels of rouge or...

Some Living Campaigns... such as ::: warning! Shameless plug, warning! ::: Living Arcanis have been doing this for years. Except the "Cards" are replaced with "Certs" Good to see that they have included it in 4e Here is another idea for home games.... find a picture of an item online (lets...

lol never seen that before... maybe a flat +5/-5 will end up replacing power attack.. still be useful, but standerd...

QFT

Just never felt swashbuckley enough... I'm of the old rogue/fighter (or swashbuckler base class) mindset...

Ever fight with one? There are quite a few moves that relay on strength over finesse (see the way Porthos fights in the 3 musketeers, Disney version as well as others) I can recall a move where you power though your opponent’s parry and push into your opponent with all your might... the move...

ya but it was the only way for some fighters to = out the damage output of casters... I always thought that was the purpose of the feat

:: sniff :: :: cry :: :: pout :: I will miss power attack because, it was like the only way to make my swashbuckler deal any real damage... (High dex turns into + to damage when using a rapier)

never mind.. didint see the original topic

If you think outside the box with them… You can do a lot... 1. Deliver beneficial touch spells to your allies, a familiar with invisibility can fly in combat and hit an ally with stone skin or other spells when needed… I remember when I used it to give the rouge Improved Invisibility at...

But, Characters adventure for fame and fortune... and loot... ok it depends on the adventure, but most do… so now that magic items are rare… what are you adventuring for? Just coin? What can you do with coin, seeing that you end up moving from Inn to Inn (well unless you have a localized...
