Player's Handbook 2

[Mokona]

It's official. Dungeon Master's Guide 2 sealed our fate.

Since the DMG 2 was a very good book I have high hopes for this one as well.

And this was announced quite some time ago.

I am glad that it is not a compendium, but an addition.

However I feel safe that my favourite edition (3.0) is over, and cannot be messed up by more player's material

Does anyone ever take teamwork stuff?

In a campaign I DM'd the party found a magical standard. The standard gave all allies within a certain radius bonuses to to hit and saves. No one wanted to carry it. I gave up on teamwork abilities there and then.

Flanking is cool, though.

Son, your party needs some henchman and/or hirelings.

Back in the old days, when we had to carve our own dice, it was common for the PCs to have a posse following them around to carry torches, etc...

Weird. I love abilities that work with a group.

I very often play a bard for that reason - it came in handy in the Tomb of Horrors. And, our group tends to use the aid another ability (edit) - a lot.

IME, the better a group knows one another IRL, the more they're willing to work together as a team.

We loved the rules for expanding Aid Another in Comp. Adventurer.

I would love to see more use of "work together" options in the group I play with. Unfortunately, most of 'em are grandstanding over-competitive glory hounds. (And do they ever give my marshal any credit for the bonuses he gives them? Heck no!)
