    I can't WAIT for this month's character builder update!

    That's a good trick, but that would make the feat invisible for ALL characters I build, neh? I'd like it to be custom for each character. I'm definitely thrilled to see they're still tweaking, though. For whatever reason, I only expect content updates every month, not improvements.

    I can't WAIT for this month's character builder update!

    <squeeeeee> So excited for this update, not only for PHB2 but also the Shadar-kai article from last month's Dragon. One thing that does concern me going forward is the sheer number of options; the character builder does a great job of presenting all the options to you, but then fails on giving...

    Playtest: Martial Power 2

    I'm amused that in the same paragraph where they explain what a Playtest article is and tell how to send feedback, they instruct us to email with the subject "Playtest: Primal Power". LOL. But I love this kind of granularity- if I want to play an idiosyncratic (i.e. sub-optimal) character, the...

    PHB II: Am I The Only One Blown Away By The Art?

    Count me in for loving most of the art in PHB2, but for some reason I don't like O'Connor's illustrations for the classes themselves. They seem squashed, to me.

    Player's Handbook 2: I haz it

    Backgrounds as a concept have changed from their original incarnation. Whereas before they were created in whole (i.e. the regional backgrounds from FRPG and the Scales of War backgrounds from Dragon), they're now presented in a more fluff text style, i.e. "I used to be a bandit, therefore I...

    Player's Handbook 2: I haz it

    Having had the PH2 for a couple of days now, I have to say that while I'm not sure power creep is a huge problem (although it may be!), I can say that whoever is writing for WotC has really found their groove in terms of flavor and coolness. The PH2 reminds me of Sword and Sorcery's Relics and...

    Character Builder Update Announcement

    That's great news! Assuming Customer Service knows what's up, the March update to the CB should be EPIC. The Shadar-Kai write-up, PHB2 and Dungeon Delve are all things to be really excited about. Storm

    Character Builder Update Announcement

    I hope this is true, and it makes a certain amount of sense. But where has it been clearly stated?

    Character Builder Update Announcement

    One thing I'm curious about. Looking at what is now available, it looks like they're lagging a month behind in content, i.e. they did not include anything from February's Dragon or Dungeon. Does this mean that PHB 2 info won't be added until the end of April? I'd like to think that with the...

    San Francisco?

    Hi all- I'm a long-time D&D player from back before 2nd Edition, but I've mostly been a DM. I'd really like to experience being a player in a 4E game in San Francisco or environs. Let me know if you've got a group that needs a player! Storm

    Do vulnerabilities stack?

    Granted. CS has been at best unreliable thus far. Which is crazy. But also another thread entirely.

    Do vulnerabilities stack?

    Note that the CS response deals solely with Vulnerabilities, not Resistance, and that the quoted errata is for Resistance. Different mechanics.

    Swordsage with Resounding Thunder and Thundering Weapon

    Actually, there is a "Thundering Weapon", (PHB 236), but the poster above is correct that the Thunder keyword doesn't transfer to the attack, as it is does not have an "at-will" ability adding Thunder as a damage type. However, there *IS* "Lightning Weapon", (PHB 235) which DOES add Lightning as...

    Barbarian Playtest Experiences

    Barb Experience DMing for my monthly group Sunday night and one of the players couldn't make it. Wouldn't have been a problem except his Warlord (the party's only tank) bit the dust the previous game session (dang ghouls and zombies in Rivenroar!). He's going to try out a swordmage, but since...
