I also have the books [merged] (info on upcomming Power sources and more)

I will say that I did have to hunt for mechanical stuff like defenses. There's a comment in Ability Scores that says 'refer to this page for defenses', but still.

Paladins are defenders and DON'T need constitution?

A nice con is useful, but doesn't relate to your powers.

What weapons can weapon proficiency apply to (groups or individual weapons)? Also, can improvised weapons (unarmed in particular ) be chosen?

Also, grappling... Is it just grab in this edition?

As for Fighters, it appears from the Fighters and Melee Weapons thing. Polearm's are tied into Wisdom for powers.

The Key Abilities are:

Cleric: Wisdom, Strength, Charisma
Fighter: Strength, Dexterity, Wisdom, Constitution (all fighters need strength, but the others can depend on weapons)
Paladin: Strength, Charisma, Wisdom
Ranger: Strength, Dexterity, Wisdom
Rogue: Dexterity, Strength, Charisma
Warlock: Charisma, Constitution, Intelligence
Warlord: Strength, Intelligence, Charisma
Wizard: Intelligence, Wisdom, Dexterity

OMG!!! Fighters are MAD now!!!

 

[Fallen Seraph]

OMG!!! Fighters are MAD now!!!

Well, most of those besides strength are only really needed depending on which weapon you specialize in.

Be aware that the stats that Fallen Seraph mentions.

Primary Stat 1, Primary Stat 2, Secondary Stat that Would be Very Good to Have.

For example, a Paladin needs a good wisdom. A lot of his tricks depend on something there (like lay on hands depends on wisdom score).

From the preview, the rogue build options seem to determine which stat is Primary 2, and which is the secondary. Is this accurate? Does it hold true for all classes? Does the primary stat vary with build choice for any class?

Warlocks have con-based powers?

 

[Rechan]

What weapons can weapon proficiency apply to (groups or individual weapons)?

Individual weapons.

can improvised weapons (unarmed in particular ) be chosen?

Donno.

Also, grappling... Is it just grab in this edition?

Yes.

 

[Rechan]

Warlocks have con-based powers?

Infernal pact is con based.

 

[Fallen Seraph]

Infernal pact is con based.

Well and also Star, divided with Charisma as well.

This is one of my few issues so far, actually is dealing with Pacts. It seems like Infernal get more powers then the rest.
