[QUOTE="JoelF, post: 3712953, member: 8829"] I just got back from Gen Con and on the main news page I didn't see a few tidbits I picked up from direct questions to designers. I asked about armor in 4th edition and if there will be more than 3 types worth wearing and got an emphatic "Yes!". I was told that every type of armor will have reasons to wear it and advantages. I also asked about their current games in 4th edition and asked if they used the DND insider DM tools during the game at the table and if they envisioned that model as the way most players would use the tools and was told that no, at least not initially they didn't expect that type of use at the table to be predominant and they currently didn't in their game. On a different note, I asked at Paizo about their plans once 4th edition comes out and the answer I got was "we'll wait and see". They not only said they'd wait to see what the fan response was, but what they thought about the new system. It sounded to me that if 4th edition was not significantly supported by the current subscriber base, that they would stick with 3.5. I believe I was talking to Wes Schneider. I'm sorry if any of this is already in the thread, but I simply don't have time to read through it all. I'm also sorry to say that I don't recall who I spoke to at WOTC for that informaiton.
