First off, the preview is lacking in a lot of areas. There should be rules for creating vampire spawn. However, just because the rules aren't in the Vampire Lord template, that doesn't mean they won't be in the Monstrous Manual under the vampire/vampire spawn entry. I firmly believe that there will be rules for creating vampire spawn somewhere in 4E. It would be a gross oversight if there weren't. Heck, it could also be a ritual, as many have speculated.As far as the orc breeding argument. I think it's safe to say that orcs breed at a similiar rate to humans, so... that's silly... Hmmm, unless they don't...but then it would be worth mentioning.Second, the magic item thing seems weird. My immediate reaction was: Gee, there's a chart I'll never use. But many people have made excellent points concerning play balance and the abstract nature of "pluses".  I don't know if i'll adopt that system when DMing. But honestly, my players probably won't notice either way. I don't let them look at monster stats during fights.Third, I'd like there to be more information on the lich's creation process (since I've had PC wizards who actually want to become liches); that will undoubtably be a ritual though, so I'm not worried about if it not being in the preview.Finally, I've been reading these boards for a little while now without posting. Some people here just seem like hardcore haters who disagree with everything WotC does. Why hate people? Really? Don't hate. D&D is awesome. Your old books aren't going to explode when 4e hits the shelves. And if you're upset because you know everyone else is going to start playing 4e and you'll look like one of those fools who kept saying 2nd Edition was better (like my brother, he wanted to get the word: THAC0 tattooed on his arm), well guess what? You've already lost. The future is coming people.Don't hate it. You look silly when you hate.</blockquote>
