I don't think you really understand. The Redbox rogue appears to be an error, a rogue that is neither here nor there, neither essentials nor PHB1, with no where to go other than the first few levels presented in the box. To cut it short, the rogue in the Redbox appears to be a mistake. I'd love...

Actually, I just asked Chatty DM (who has a press copy) and he rather kindly informed me that it does indeed include at will attack powers (something very much at odds with the preview article). Thats a bit of a shame.

Oh look, its the same three of us from the rogue thread. I'll ask here: does anyone remember the name of the rogue build from Gencon? Was it the thief by any chance? If so, we know that the Redbox version is incorrect (see the other thread about the rogue being cocked up).

The Essentials rogue preview linked above has a heading for "The Essentials Rogue" and details information about the Essentials rogue in general before going on to preview some of the details of the "thief" build. You'll notice the quote: "As a rogue, you make most of your attacks using basic...

First let say that I'm all for the essentials and plan to pick them up and use them myself. I am wondering however: is the Redbox rogue all cocked up? This post here shows a list of the Redbox rogue's at will powers and what they do. Now whats that I hear you say, the new Essentials rogue...

"Discount Retailer" is still pretty hard to imagine but I guess there's a lot of them which is why you folk are all chattering 'bout 'em! Is it really true that they're changing the front cover after the first batch?

What is a "Target"?

I'm British, I've played with other Brits too. D&D players tend to be North American, other games less so.

I'm also in Japan but in the gaijin packed area of Kansai. I'm running a thriving game and could run my campaign three times over if I'd accepted all the players that have asked to join over the last year (it probably comes as no surprise that the people who move to Japan tend to be the geeky...

I'd like to see aspects of 4e's evil gods. Raven Queen too.

I have a nigh on encyclopedic knowledge of American sites (Auggies, etc.) but have no idea where to get minis in Britain. The sites I've stumbled across have all been hilariously more expensive than the states (about double to triple!).

I couldn't agree more, and the power difference between dwarf wardens and any other warden in the game now is hilarious. Absolutely hilarious. They were the best choice before, now you'd be crazy not to pick one. And for the record, let it be said that humans ARE excellent. They excel at many...

Dwarves make excellent Invokers and phenomenally good Con warlocks. They can use hammers as an implement and even use Eldritch strike as a Con based MBA for high damage that slides the target and gets curse damage added on. Additionally, many Infernal lock powers provide yet more damage if the...

I've read a couple of times that the original Tolkien dwarfs were probably based on the miners of Wales.

Dwarven weapon training doesn't rely on Wis, the whole path of hammer feats (which do all sorts of damage) rely on Con, the whole slew of second wind related feats don't rely on Wis. I could go on. Really.

Githzerai are the only race that gets a better weapon training feat and even that isn't from the books (its from a DDI article - which many groups don't use/allow). Even allowing that feat a Gith isn't any where near as good as a dwarf for melee classes when you consider the whole package of...

Dwarfs have always been strong. Wisdom and Con are useful for many classes and Con adds to HP and healing surges. Their racial abilities are exceptional with the ability to second wind as a minor being the jewel in their crown. Their feat support is top class; Dwarven Weapon Training being so...

It looks that way. Consider these three points: 1. At Gencon this weekend wizards announced that Atari are just about to unveil a new D&D video game. 2. Wizards announced that they are reviving their support of the Forgotten Realms universe next year. 3. Games.on.net did some digging and...

I've just been scouring DDM spoilers and I can't find that beholder pic >.<

I love this thread! Do either of you remember what stats the other races in the box set get? I'd really love to know.
