I had no idea your name was Devin - I don't read random signatures. I thought you were suggesting that Vadania and Devis, the iconic bard, should get together. Which, disturbing.

hahaha thats so funny. No one appreciates the bard. I didn't know his name so i got confused.

I hope that 4th edition will ditch the crummy asymmetrical armor look in favor of something that both looks cool and makes sense.

I agree. although to its testimony. asymmetrical armor can look cool, but i am dismayed time and time again seeing it done wrong.

My old roommate who was going into industrial dzn said it best "form and function" They have had a hard time in the past getting this right. Some of the new art I am more receptive to, but all the iconic characters break this form an function rule. Had it been me I would have spent a long time getting that right if they were my iconic characters. The side effect is dzns were proliferated for awhile in the later books.

......Nebin looks unnaturally huge in that Heroes of Horror picture. The gnome makes Alhandra and Eberk look puny! I suppose he's using Enlarge Person, but yeesh, he's almost ogre-sized.

In the full version, you can see that Nebin is a) closer to the foreground than Eberk, and much closer than Alhandra, and b) standing on a pile of rocks. Give me a sec and I'll show you.
