mearls mentioned in the Unboxing that the simple subclass for Fighter is called Champion. It was called Warrior in the playtest. Furthermore the Weaponmaster from the Playtest is now a Battlemaster. That, to me, makes quite a difference. When I wanted a sellsword in the playtest, I would have...

I thought about what could make possible further subclasses for each of the classes in the playtest. It occured to me that the classes are quite different in that manner. At the top of the list we have the cleric. We can easily imagine a cleric domain for anything but waste disposal. Magic...

The feats in the current playtest are varied collection. Some of them offer complex rules, other are rather simple. Some are a remake of former feats, some are all new. I'd like to point out some mechanisms in the current feats I enjoy and will try to expand similar mechanisms to other feats. A...

Having looked through the package, I have found some effects of TWF, I'd like to share. - The whip is good off-hand weapon. It doesn't receive an ability bonus in the first place. - Monks can use their fists for two weapon fighting, since they are considered light weapons. - TWF works well...

Hi. I have problem with Thug Tactics. It scales terribly with the number of PCs. That was true somewhat for flanking but at least you could try to flank with a single ally. What other methods can you think of that do not rely on a battle map?

Let's talk about the odd Specialties. Unlike the other these are mostly containers for two kinds of feats: Extra Skill and Extra HD. They do not offer a strong image. Unlike an archer carrying a bow, a necromancer usually dressed in black tossing around evil spells or a healer with her tools of...

Hi, I have two questions about todays preview for Primal Power. 1) How does the ability at level 30 work? 2) If a character uses Warden's Pounce to interrupt a ranged attack, will the triggering ranged attack provoke an opportunity attack?

Hi. I got a question about the Artificer's Punishing Eye power. It says that enemies do not benefit from concealment. Now I wonder, do they still benefit from total concealment or not?

Hi. When is a power considered used? As soon as it the use is declared or only after everything is resolved? Or to be more specific, can a Swordmaster use Crescendo Sword to regain Crescendo Sword?

Hi. When is Regeneration Infusion (Level 6 utility) supposed to end? It doesn't say. Most other beneficial effects with Sustain have a maximum duration of encounter / 5 min. On the other hand the idea of regenerating a bloodied target might imply that it should end when the target is no...

Hi. I wonder what Intimidate does during combat. In 3.x the target was Shaken for one round (rather crappy). I'm not sure what an intimidated target is supposed to do in 4e. thx
