Dragon #398 (April)

[the-golem]

So, I clicked on the "Dragon" link @ WotC accidentally -- I was aiming for Dungeon -- to see if the last article was published before the end of the month, and I was surprised with next month's issue. It's barely into the first day of April (still March 31 for me), and there are already 4 dragon articles out for #398. Including the April errata.

Is anyone as shocked as I am?

Well, color me fooled. They got me. I've been effectively RickRolled.

I hate this day.

 

[Aegeri]

Um, you are aware these are their usual goofy april fools articles right?

[the-golem]

Yeah...

I'm gonna just go crawl into a hole and die a miserable death now. K, bye.

 

[Nemesis Destiny]

Yeah...

I hear ya. April 1 can die in a fire aaaaaaaaannnnny time now.

I admit that I like the Polearms Quiz though.

My sister was born on April 1 -- no, I'm not kidding -- so we never really did any April Fool's shenanigans when I was growing up. As a result, I always forget this day exists.

Sigh.

Edit: Yeah, that Polearms quiz was pretty neat.

If I had a sister born on April Fools pranking her would be a must. Every Year.

This one is good because they seem to keep changing it.

Some versions I've seen include:
If both attacks hit, the target must save or die.
If both attacks hit, your twin appears and uses twin strike on the target.
The attacks daze (save ends) on a hit, and you can spend a healing surge as an effect.
1 damage per attack. Increase damage to 2 per attack at the 21st level.

Ah, ok. The version I got made no sense. (As in there was no joke that I could see, not as in I didn't think it was a reasonable change.)
