I feel the awsome

Too bad you can't spell it.

I think spells level 1-20 will be the equivalent of spells level 1-9, while spells 20+ will be epic spells.

I'm kinda hoping this is the way it is, although I'm hoping the new 1st level matches the old 0-level (or close to it). Oh, and some of the most powerful spells (notably Wish) might be bumped to the new Epic levels.

I also find myself wondering if we'll still see spells scaling up as Wizards increase in Caster Level. Will Fireball still do 1d6 per level as a 5th level spell, or will a 5d6 Fireball be a 5th level spell, a 7d6 Fireball be a 7th level spell, and so on? (Okay, that's a very crude example, but I think it gets my point across.)

Give him a break. It's not always easy to concentrate on minutiae when you're this excited.

This level of excitement feels as weird to me as the folks who have decided that 4e is going to be no fun. I can understand enthusiasm, but... yikes.

Yep. Another weird thing is that these extreme sentiments seem to come from people very new on EnWorld. Which is funny considering that this is still sort-of a 3e website, and I would expect people interested in 4e to look elsewhere...

I'm not sure if the OP is joking or not - I actually agree with most of what he's saying!

'4gasm' would've been a slightly better user name. Was it taken?

That's just awful! You're a bad, bad man (I wrote this whole post with my left hand to add emphasis)

I doubt it, mainly because they said that a 4e character would start out as a hero. Especially in regards to hit points, they'll be more like 3e's 3rd-level characters than 0-level characters.

Oh, and some of the most powerful spells (notably Wish) might be bumped to the new Epic levels.

Do you mean 21-30 epic levels, or the epic epic levels 31+?

I think wish might be split up into the "duplicate spell" part (which will be a "normal" high-level spell, without any XP or other cost involved) and the "get whatever you want if you wish it right, which might not even be a regular spell, but something special (maybe an incantation?)

I also find myself wondering if we'll still see spells scaling up as Wizards increase in Caster Level. Will Fireball still do 1d6 per level as a 5th level spell, or will a 5d6 Fireball be a 5th level spell, a 7d6 Fireball be a 7th level spell, and so on? (Okay, that's a very crude example, but I think it gets my point across.)

Good example! I read that Fireball won't be 1d6/level any more. (Don't ask me about who said it, I can't remember, but it was someone from Wizards)

Note how darkness can use words like minutiae with ease. That leads me to believe that he's emotially dead.
