I thought speed was better than accuracy as we're all rabid for information.

Agreed!

All of the information you put down seems logically correct. A bit different that 3.x and streamlined, but it seems good (for the most part) so far.

I still want to know if BBEG's get Action Points and Healing Surges as well.... *waiting patiently*

The Pit Fiend write up had "Action Points: 1" as part of its stat block, if I'm remembering correctly.

Because if you get 2 Action Points every 2 battles (which is a type of encounter), I take that to mean a social encounter isn't important enough to use or gain Action Points.

I would be very careful how much detail you read into his words.

http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd has the quick rules primer up.

Which is why I asked for him to get a clarification. I am only reading what is written. I don't assume that two people making Diplomacy checks is considered a "battle", so I don't take that to mean Action Points are normally used in that type of encounter, nor are they gained if you had 2 or 3 diplomacy encounters, since he specifically said every 2 battles you get one.

Anyway, that is why I asked for him to get a clarification...

Thanks!

Prices for DDI seem quite reasonable to me.

$120 / year ain't bad

Too much, IMO.

D&D Rulebooks
+
DDI
+
Rulebook database (which is the biggest thing I want out of DDI)
+
Charges for virtual minis

I have a lot of disposable income, but D&D isn't my only hobby. Not to mention, the economy is taking a serious beating. (No political comments, please. It's just an observation.)


Nope, looks like I will limit myself to the books and database. (which better be available w/o a DDI subscription.) If that.

From my reading of the 1 pager - it looks like 1 AP is awarded every two encounters. this is backed up by another statement just underneath advising you to use at least 1 AP every other encounter as that is the rate at which you get them
