perhaps the idea is to teach dm's and players how to use skill challenges; not every challenge is going to be, or should be a cakewalk. In order for skill challenges to work, players and DM's will have to learn to accept failure as an outcome. For instance... Lets first look at a 3.5 skill...

It doesn't limit player options explicitly any longer. Now it simply implies that evil deities are the province of the dm. Does that implication keep you from worshipping hextor? I suppose it would depend on your DM... Plus ca change...

Nice. I especially like the use of final fantasy sprites. squee!

We gave RP XP off and on, and usually it just turned into a standard xp bonus. I think the fact that they are talking about it this time around (I don't recall any mention of RP XP during the introduction of 3e) may be an indication that the game was designed without the assumption that DM's...

I think they are focusing their efforts into DDI. Hopefully it comes out better than pools of radiance, and the character creation software originally packaged with 3rd edition.

Now you could open up your PHB and go down every spell in the wizard's arsenal and gasp: That's a defender power! That's a striker power! That's a leader power! and frown and fuss that wizards have Web, Prismatic Ray, and Heroism. I think the main idea of the Controller is that he changes...

You might be right... But I think it could work if the designers allowed themselves to put out a setting that excludes certain content, and reimagines others. I think that is probably the major reason why they refused to support Athas in 3rd: editors refused to bother with any setting that...

Is it just me or does it imply that small characters can use any one handed weapon just fine? Without modification? Now if the small property can be applied to things that aren't normally small (like a longbow, for example) we will be in business. But even then, I will happily wave goodbye to...

I like the weighted point buy system. I think the reason they use it should be pretty clear.

Wow. While I knew Toughness was a lame feat, and the rule books warned that not all feats were created equal, I always attributed them to things like character specialization, and limiting what feats can be expected to do (like toughness) I didn't know it was about "rules mastery". ugh. I...

I'm :Do glad that I am not the only one who noticed that. :Duper!

I think there should be limits to how useful social skills can be used in various social situations. There is a time and place for diplomacy, and a time and place for intimidation. Suppose someone is at 1 hp and in the mouth of the villain's Rancor. Intimidating the villain is NOT going to...

Did you happen to catch the part about how that feat works on any creature size Large or bigger? Definitely feat-worthy.

how about squarks? Maybe this time they can be native to the astral sea...

FIFY

I would have to disagree with the OP. I really don't see how anything has changed that would make his scenario possible in 3e, but impossible in 4e. Either way, you are giving the succubus powers that she normally wouldn't have in order to create the plot you want to run.

good idea. I've always wondered why the white wolf forums didn't have a dot smiley.

personally, I would prefer dragonborn taking the place of Pterrans, rather than half-giants.

I'm not sure what edition it was, but one of the older ones required levels in druid in order to take a level in bard... which made me wonder why that association would exist. well, here's a thought. You have the whole druid "nation" which guards the wilderness, headed by the archdruid and...
