[QUOTE="Infiniti2000, post: 4246767, member: 31734"] I've been reading some people's reviews and I think some comments are plain silly or "who cares". Although I agree that the module shouldn't refer to the Player's Handbook, that's more of a minor inconvenience than anything and it has nothing at all to do with KotS and a general editing blip by WotC. Obviously, the module was pushed up to precede the rules whereas it was most likely originally planned to coincide with the rules. I also bet that there are several basic character stats in the core rules that could be used for townspeople (one person claimed that as a 'big" negative, which I think is silly; I mean, c'mon just use some standard DCs). Another big plus which I hope they continue was several pages on NPC reactions to specific questions. While some people may literally read them off the pages, others can use them for RP guidelines. The module even provides a suggestion to do it either way the DM feels comfortable. Outside of, say, other DM's on the RttToEE forum I have never seen such advice (i.e. the NPC reactions) in such detail. If 4E saves me 90% of my time on working up NPC stats and such and solves all my problems with spells (stupid Vancian magic), metamagic (more stupid Vancian magic), and items, I'm really happy to track marks and ongoing effects every round. In fact, I am seeing some potential in getting the players involved in tracking that stuff, which they wouldn't have a need to do in 3.5e. [/QUOTE]
