Dragon #295 in Today!

[Flexor the Mighty!]

Both of those look really, really stupid, and have blunted my appetite for the book considerably.

I'm not sure what's "Epic" about slapping more and more of the same modifiers onto a single spell or item.

It doesn't look like they have added anything new to the d20 ruleset at all, which will be a huge disappointment.


Wulf

Everything I've seen of the ELH has soured my appetite for it. Of course when I said this I was called immature and accused of engaging in hyperbole. oh well...

 

[Wulf Ratbane]

Well maybe if you weren't so friggin immature and engaging in hyperbole every waking moment of every single day people might not have a problem with you!!!!!!

 

[GravyFingerz]

Who do I need to pay/sacrifice to get my Dragon this early? It just isn't fair...

Yeah really. Whose cushy arse do I need to kiss to get some decent service around here?

 

[Arcane Runes Press]

Yup,

"OZ"ball and "Boots of Monk Replacement". Can't wait to add THAT to my game.

I WILL buy the ELH and I hope to be surprised by what's inside, but I am swiftly losing hope.

I want "epic" as in Gilgamesh, Thor vs Jormungand, or the Monkey King. At this point it looks like WoTC equates "Epic" with Final Fantasy's Limit Break spells.

Exactly! But I guess that's the definition of fantasy to the new target audience.

So no artifacts then from this issue? Huh I was hoping to see that list of artifacts that 294 said they would do.

 

[drowdude]

Do you know if you must spend XP for all epic spells?

It didnt say, but I would assume so.

"Special Beam Cannon!!!"

They didn't say, next, they said future. Past experience with Dragon would suggest about 6 months to one year.
