Message: <blockquote data-quote="Charwoman Gene" data-source="post: 4149925" data-attributes="member: 5044">Here are some more tidbits from the 10 AM Sunday Session.Power Sources:WotC has identified 8 power sources that should take care of basically 90% of the classes they foresee making. They did not mention which ones these are aside from Arcane, Divine, Martial and Psionic.New Classes:New classes are mainly going to be introduced in PHBs.Paragon Paths:I asked if you "had" to take a paragon path.  I was told you had the choice of what path to take when it was appropriate.  There is another thing you can do if you absolutely do not want a paragon path, but it didn't sound like that was a recommended idea.Magic Item Creation:There will be a ritual available to drain magic from captured items to add to other items.  This ritual will be usable in a dungeon.Crafting:There has been some talk about creating a more detailed crafting system.Bull Rush:Strength Attack vs. Fortitude  Push one square back.Resurrection:Ritual, DM free to limit access in the world.No longer using the term resurrection, ritual is Raise Dead.Purpose of the DMG:The DMG's focus is on aiding the DM in customizing and "kit-bashing: the D&D game.Sorcerer:Sorcerer will be in  PH2.  Power Source not revealed.  (My vote is primal.Skill Challenges:Traps.Natural Hazards.Social Encounters.Party must get a certain number of secrets before a certain number of failures.Mixing skill, everyone can participate.Adventures:There will be a epic tier adventure centering on a jelly-bean eating contest on the DDI.Milestones:Gain an action point.  Recharge magic items.Domains?:Cleric specialization is mostly done through feats.Paladins:Paladins choose their god, must have the same alignment.Magic Items:Magic items are definitely focused on powers, not bonuses.Keywords:All powers have keywords.Half-Orcs:  No stats, the closest thing would be to use the orc race stats from the MM.Marketing:  Early marketing is for migration of current D&D players.  Acquisition is in the fall.  [Starter Set]Alignment:  [A paraphrase]Me:  What's going on with Alignment.  Are Lawful and chaotic still in the game?M. Mearls: There is still Lawful Good, Good, Unaligned, Evil, Um do we still have chaotic evil? B. Slaviscek: I tihnk that was changed? Did we changeM. Mearls: Umm, that's more of a "world issue" I'm more of the rules guy.So, I think we may be looking at:Lawful Good -- Good -- Unaligned -- Evil -- Chaotic Evil</blockquote>
