D&D 4E 4E Player’s Handbook II

[ValhallaGH]

Do I sense some anti-dwarf discrimination here? What exactly is wrong with a nice soft downy layer of chest hair on a lovely dwarven lass?

Why do you hirsute freaks insist that dwarven women are hairier than human women?

No.. The bard would come out on the internet ive readt somewhere, and things from the internet wont be in other books then compendium and not in phb's

And presumably as long as we keep buying them there will be no need for 5E.

Uhm, we kept buying the 3e supplements and there was a 4e.

No matter how much Cool Stuff is in PHB II, PHB III:The Revenge, PHB IV:Adventurers On Patrol, PHB V:A New Beginning or PHB VI:In The Hood, sales will almost certainly go down with each volume. Further, the system will, as all systems do, begin to bloat, crack, and strain. Balance-wrecking builds and combos will be found. Too many options will lead to player fatigue. Just as the 'fan culture' moved from pulp novels and fiction in the 1970s to movies and videogames in 2008, so too will it continue to move on, and, by 2015 or so, if there's still p&p gaming left in the world, we will be seeing D&D 5.0...or something which is the moral equivalent thereof, whether it's called "Version 4 Revised" or "Rebooted" or "Dungeons & Dragons Enterprise Edition Platinum Complete".

If the rumor is true, the bard will come out soon in a dragon article. Leaving the 3 reedited classes to be: Barbarian, Druid and Sorcerer.

There is no P in the relation of initials, what makes me think or we will see the psion by other name, or we will see him split in two or three classes (maybe discipline specialists in 3e terms).

That doesn't guarantee that they won't also print the bard in the book, maybe exactly as in Dragon or with updates.

there was a correction[/url] to those initials...

Hrm... So it could be:

B - Bard?
B - Barbarian?
D - Druid?
I - (What class starts with an "I")Inquisitor?
S - Sorcerer?
S - Shaman?
T - Telepath?
W - Wilder?

Still no monks. More is the pity. Maybe it will appear in Dragon or something.

I post my silly jokes and I never know when or if people will respond...

Anyway, what do you want to be in the PH II?

 

[Oompa]

One of the wotc's stated they wont put dungeon and dragon stuff of the internet in other books..

There will be one book per year, collecting the best articles from the internet..

Hmmm...Barbarian, Bard, Druid, Illusionist, Shaper (a type of psion), Sorcerer, Telepath, Wilder?

So no Monk yet? Unless Druid becomes Sorceror, and Monk is a Devotee?

Though Oompa isn't entirely correct: Dragon Magazine material can be used in other books. Specifically:

We’re even going to use Dragon to show off new classes and races before they appear in a future Player’s Handbook, basically revealing them in playtest mode so that you can help us get them ready for wider distribution. That’s one of the perks of being a D&D Insider—you get to help shape the future development of the game.
