My 4E Wishlist

[Dr. Strangemonkey]

PHB 3: Ki, Psionic, and Shadow Heroes

Other Lines:

Fey book is coming down the pipe, so that's cool.

I'd love to see a series of cultural adventure series:

Oriental Adventures
Arabian Adventures
New World Adventures
Martian Adventures

and so forth

Rounded out (or even replaced) with stuff on genre based adventures:

Wuxia DnD
Planetary Romance
Fables and Fairy Tales
Swords and Sails

and so forth

Just a whole series of tricks to reset the very basic tone of the setting to fit other fantasy story telling lenses then those made famous by Tolkien, Howard, and DnD itself.

Rust monster (and NOT the wussy mearls type, sorry mearls!)

were did you find the mearls version???

3rd Party 4E publishers need to keep tabs on this thread to see what the customer base wants. Sure, they can't do everything because of GSL restrictions, but there's a lot to mine from this thread...

Monster Manual 2 wishlist:

Peryton
Jabberwocky
Dragon Turtle
Djinn
Marids
Modrons
Deepspawn

Other books I'd love to see:

Book of Fey
Bood of Aberrations
Manual of the Planes 2: Feywild
Manual of the Planes 3: Shadowfell (good idea Nymrohd)

There are others, but those would do for now.

As a side note, I'd love to know the exact contents of the Dungeon Masters Guide 2. I know that Sigil is in it (and I pray to God that it's done right, and not skimped on), but in my mind I have visions of many more monster templates (including NPC templates for the new classes), and perhaps a chapter on advanced dungeon making? or exotic adventures (underwater, air, etc.).

I kind of doubt that the PHB 3 will have more than 2 Power Sources in it. That would leave the PHB 4 with only a single new Power Source.

 

[Chaoszero]

PHB3 will (if we follow the pattern) have 3 sources in it. A full set of classes for one source and half of two others, just like phb1.

I hope the PHBs after 4 will revisit the old powers to come out with new martial and divine etc stuff.

 

[Festivus]

My wish list is all about the 4e MM2.

(list snipped)

Spawn of Kyuss

Spawn of Kyuss is in Open Grave, page 218... sure it's a template but easy enough to make a spawn of kyuss skeleton using the template... or a spawn of kyuss human. Personally, I am done with kyuss for a long time I hope... Age of Worms concludes pretty soon.

Open Grave is a great book. I want more like it... outsiders this time please

I would like to add this to the list I posted before.

Personally I'd rather see new power sources. I'd also like to see two per book in the future. None of this you don't get all of a single power source in one book nonsense.

There is stuff in here we are doing.

Some this year, some next, and some later.
