[QUOTE="abyssaldeath, post: 4418014, member: 64213"] First I suggest reading the PHB from cover to cover and throw out everything you know about 3.5. It will just confuse you as it has a lot of us. As to your questions though. 1: Everyone has a set number of powers they can use based on level. Wizard can put 2 spells in there spell book everytime they learn new powers. They memorize one of those spells each day. So a first level wizard will have 2 daily spell in there spell book, but will only be able to memorize an cast 1. Basically the spell book gives wizards flexability the other classes don't have. 2: Fire, cold and other keywords are for resistance and vulnerablity. There are also feats that are used with those keywords. 3: Two-weapon fighting is done with powers. Rangers are the only ones that get to attack with both weapons at the same time. They can get an at-wiil attack called twin-strike and many other encounter and daily powers. There are feats that give bonuses to damage and defense for using two weapons also. 4: see #3. Basic attacks are always with a single weapon. There is an epic feat that lets you use you attack with your off-hand weapon for OA attacks I believe. [/QUOTE]
