Last week I received my copy of Saga and I really liked the dynamic between the force, talent trees and feats. Sounds like they may be aiming for something very close to that with 4e magic.
So here's a question: will *all* classes have "implements" somewhat equivalent to the fighter's sword and shield? What would you imagine a Druid's implements to be?Upper_Krust said:Also if Orb, Staff, Tome and Wand are the Wizard items, what could be the Clerical equivalents?
Holy Symbol we already know about. Perhaps Favoured Weapon is another? Could Chalice be one (or would that simply be a type of Holy Symbol?)? Or what of Rods?
What if the Clerical 'Four' were:
SwordsFavoured Weapon...boosts attacking magic
PentacleHoly Symbol...boosts defensive magic
Rods...boosts miscellaneous magic
Chalice...boosts healing magic

Holly, an oaken staff and things like that. Of course I don't know when the druid is coming out.Sir Brennen said:So here's a question: will *all* classes have "implements" somewhat equivalent to the fighter's sword and shield? What would you imagine a Druid's implements to be?
Maybe they'll go back to 1E, where Druids needed mistletoe to cast all their spells.Sir Brennen said:So here's a question: will *all* classes have "implements" somewhat equivalent to the fighter's sword and shield? What would you imagine a Druid's implements to be?
FickleGM said:4. I also hope that the cleric has something at least related, so that he may use religious implements in spellcasting.
Hmm. To me there's a difference between 'changing the rules' and 'changing the flavor.' The latter seems more likely to result in "not D&D." 3e introduced changes to both, no argument, but this change does really feel different to me. It's subjective. Maybe I'll get used to it; we'll see.Piratecat said:3e's changes were far more extreme than I expect 4e's to be, and I'm pretty happy with how 3e turned out. For me, it's definitely D&D. I expect 4e will be the exact same way.

We now have:
Orb: enchantment, beguiling, and ensnaring, defenses when invoking spells of thunder or force.
Wand: accurate, damaging attacks, powers of cold and deadly acidic magic, lightning and force
Staff: fierce powers of fire and radiance, shape and sculpt the spells they cast.
