4th edition PHB is IN MY HANDS! Ask me anything

[Klaus]

How many illustrations by me?

 

[der_kluge]

What's the first word?

Sausages.

Crazy, huh?

 

[der_kluge]

How many entries are there in the random name generator table?

What colour are elven eyes in the new edition?

Is it true that the equipment list now includes an "<Error! Reference Not Found> Hooked Hammer"?

There is no random name generator. Instead, there are rules on how to use dice to generate a random name. I just generated Flxyz. I like it.

Elven eyes are all purple.

No, but there is a reference to an Eladrin ear gouger.

Are eladrins a base class ?

Could you have ranks in feats ?

Is there an ability tree system ?

Do you need to prepare you manoeuvers at the start of the adventure ?

No, they are a race.

Feats are basically unchanged.

No, same 6 ability scores.

Spellcasters have to pick their spells and they also have per-day and per-encounter abilities. But, those are part of your class, and you don't pick those at the beginning of the day.

When in the future, did you happen to notice if the sky had fallen?

No, but the clouds all looked green. Too much global pollution!

 

[der_kluge]

Who won the World Series? There's still time to place bets ...

The Cubs! The streak is over!

 

[KarinsDad]

I've got it in my hands _right now_. It's shiny and new. Ask me anything.

Who's your buddy Curtis? My FAX machine is up and running.

 

[der_kluge]

What's going on with Bard and Druids and would you mind going into the future to pick me up some 5th edition books?

Druids are gone. Sorry.

Bards are also gone. Instead, you can make a wizard/rogue with the minstrel feat chain. It's nice - they don't actually suck anymore.

 

[der_kluge]

So what can you tell us about the 2 new classes, the zighter and the zaladin??

Those were errata'd. They should have been Fighter and Warlord.

 

[der_kluge]

What is my favorite change?

I don't know. I merely travelled through time, I didn't fly to Atlanta, too!
