Monte's 3.75? (A sequal is on its way)

[Steely Dan]

Has WotC said that hit points will be rolled in 4e?

That's one of the things I'm really curious about in 4th Ed – how will hp be generated at first level and when levelling.

Maybe it will be by role: Defender = 8 hp per level or something like that?

I can't stand random hp – "Bummer, Hal, you've rolled nothing over a 4 for your paladin's hp the last 5 levels…"

Hey everyone, I don't want to threadjack, so I'll start a new thread later today to address everyone's questions. Posting at work and I didn't get home last night until late so I probably won't be able to get a long post in until this evening.

To me, the number one purpose of a 3.75 would be to, while keeping most of 3.5 intact, make high-level games smoother and easier to run. (Actually, from a publisher's standpoint, it would be to cut down on the size and complexity of stat blocks, but I suspect anything that accomplished one of these goals would go a long way toward the other as well.) I don't see anything that's been announced so far about this book that accomplishes that. So while I'll definitely pick it up (at nine bucks, why not?) and I'm sure there'll be some really interesting stuff in it, I doubt very much that it's the book the 3.75 crowd wants.

yeah because 4th edition will be rules lite with just 5 or 6 books a year published for it .

Yep, WotC is publishing 5 or 6 different 4E rulebooks a year all right, yesiree... :\

Why is this thread in the 4E forum. It really has no business being here despite whatever tenuous link the OP tried to draw to 4E.

Mods: Any chance we could get this outta here?

Because this product has the power to bridge the gap between 3.5 and 4E, making us unite as one board! One vision!

Hugs for everyone!

Hmmmmm. . . .

You stay right here. I'm going to be back in a few minutes with some friends in white coats who are going to help you out, ok?

Interesting question. When 3.x first came out I really was in love with it after having played 1e and 2e for years beforehand. In fact, I still consider 3e a vast improvement to 1e/2e. But after having played it for years, some of the issues became more and more apparent.

Here is a small sampling of what I dislike about 3e (yes, some of these existed in 1e/2e as well):

Almost word for word my exact feelings about 3rd Edition, all those fuzzy, annoying things that made you sigh in despair every time it came up
