I'm not sure every new wave of Tweets from Mearls deserves its own thread, so here are the post-Gencon posts. They shed a lot of light on what we can expect in and after the final packet.
TL;DR Summary: Multiclassing rules are confirmed for the last packet (I'd actually feared otherwise). The Warlock and the nigh-legendary Tactical Rules Module will not make it into the final packet, but will be previewed sometime before release. Also, WotC is recruiting CharOppers for internal playtesting.
[MENTION=65391]Edwin_Su[/MENTION]ijkerbu - [MENTION=32417]MikeM[/MENTION]earls in the Q&A warforged and kender where mentioned, are these for the base game or as proof of concept for somthing campaign specif
[MENTION=32417]MikeM[/MENTION]earls - [MENTION=65391]Edwin_Su[/MENTION]ijkerbu to be determined, but we don't see them as an assumed part of any world other than where they originated
[MENTION=43519]wrightdjohn[/MENTION] - [MENTION=32417]MikeM[/MENTION]earls I'm the second wind guy. I am hearing various views on your Q&A answer tomy question. Are you going to offer an alternative?
[MENTION=32417]MikeM[/MENTION]earls - [MENTION=43519]wrightdjohn[/MENTION] we'll have to wait for the next round of feedback, but I believe we will.
[MENTION=55917]DicE[/MENTION]yDM - [MENTION=32417]MikeM[/MENTION]earls is the latest #dndnext character sheet the final product? Will there be another contest? Will it be open to play testers?
[MENTION=32417]MikeM[/MENTION]earls - [MENTION=55917]DicE[/MENTION]yDM not sure if we'll do a contest, but we'll have to design on to match the final game
[MENTION=44305]da[/MENTION]ganev - [MENTION=32417]MikeM[/MENTION]earls Regarding "final packet". CharOp boards found math problems in 4e. Will they be used to help tweak math in #dndnext ?
[MENTION=32417]MikeM[/MENTION]earls - [MENTION=44305]da[/MENTION]ganev yes - we'll be doing some targeted recruitment
[MENTION=29593]glorious[/MENTION]Spring - [MENTION=32417]MikeM[/MENTION]earls Any chance of us seeing a Warlock in the final playtest packet?#warlockobsessed
[MENTION=32417]MikeM[/MENTION]earls - [MENTION=29593]glorious[/MENTION]Spring I don't think so, but you can expect to see it previewed before release
[MENTION=29593]glorious[/MENTION]Spring - [MENTION=32417]MikeM[/MENTION]earls well that's something. Any chance of it being a constitution based caster?
[MENTION=32417]MikeM[/MENTION]earls - [MENTION=29593]glorious[/MENTION]Spring it might be an aspect of it...
@GX_Sigma - [MENTION=32417]MikeM[/MENTION]earls What happened to the idea that a fighter's extra attacks are separate actions, soe.g. a ftr/wiz can cast a spell and attack?
[MENTION=32417]MikeM[/MENTION]earls - @GX_Sigma that's the kind of thing that a multiclass sub-class will handle. It gets too open-ended if anyone can do it.
[MENTION=32417]MikeM[/MENTION]earls - Man, my twitter feed is quiet at 5:48 AM.
[MENTION=5355]Ezekiel[/MENTION]Raiden - [MENTION=32417]MikeM[/MENTION]earls Well, if you still want questions: will the Tactical Combat Module get public exposure? I still don't feel DDN supports 4e play.
[MENTION=32417]MikeM[/MENTION]earls - [MENTION=5355]Ezekiel[/MENTION]Raiden it won't be in the next packet, but it will be previewed
@nerdbyte - [MENTION=32417]MikeM[/MENTION]earls Are we going to see the multiclassing rules before you close the public playtest forDNDNext, Mike?
[MENTION=32417]MikeM[/MENTION]earls - @nerdbyte yes - next packet
[MENTION=69891]barthen[/MENTION]nigan - My wife’s character died in Dragonspear Castle. Listening to her fill out the playtes tsurvey, she blames you. Personally.
[MENTION=32417]MikeM[/MENTION]earls - [MENTION=69891]barthen[/MENTION]nigan she'sactually right. If I was sorry, I'd say I was. But I'm not.
[MENTION=32417]MikeM[/MENTION]earls - Favorite moment at#GenCon - seeing so many families with kids playing Candlekeep on Sunday.
