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

I bet this has been posted much earlier in this thread, but I'm dying to know:

Are there rules for rolling stats in the traditional way in addition to point-buy?

I'd be interested in knowing how dragons are displayed in the MM. Are they created/built like in 3.x MM or are they stat'd out explicitly? Are there rules to build custom dragons?

Does the half-elf racial description say whether they are supposed to include half human/half eladrin characters, or does it only mention elves?

Nope. The "Dual Heritage" bonus that Half-Elves get specifically says you can take any feats that have Human or Elf as prerequisites, not Eladrin.

Could anyone give some examples (i.e. short descriptions) of Wizard utility 2 and attack 3 spells besides the ones from D&DXP and Shadowfell? Thanks

chapters.indigo.ca shipped me my DMG

waaa! Who wants to start reading a series with book #2???? Bleah, onto the shelf until either my PHB arrives, or I'm done Red Hand of Doom.

Okay, I lied a little. Flipped thru DMG. THe first third is advice. Who knew? a GUIDE on how to DM!! Wow! Not a reference book! They must have had some geek from IBM explain the difference between a GUIDE and a REFERENCE book. The first walks you thru how to do things, when and why. The latter tells you things in a manner you can look up. Chapter page artwork looks great too btw!

Example. Grade 1 Reader vs Grade 1 Picture Dictionary.

No school I know of teaches children how to read by handing out dictionaries.....

Ooops Rules on Mounts is in the DMG

sigh. Players ride horses, not the DM. should been in the PHB. Rules that the players will want to look at time and time again, belogn in the PHB. Or is that just me?

Here's a fun one...

What is the coolest thing (in your opinion) that you have seen so far that was previously unknown?

I also like that you can learn as many Rituals as you'd like. Plus, Rituals on scroll format are now the "expendable" scrolls you can use during combat.
