Rules updates are out

[Nemesis Destiny]

The article I linked is old (Sept) so they might have in the compendium. Not sure. ...and I don't want to go wading through 500 powers to find the ones they missed

They haven't updated the compendium at all. I just checked Thunderwave - not identified as an evocation. It's not really that hard to do. I only noticed because I was bewailing and bemoaning the lack.

Thanks for posting that, Nemesis Destiny - I would XP you but it won't let me.

One has to remember that the Updates articles and the corresponding changes hitting DDI don't usually happen at exactly the same time - there is typically a lag between the former and the latter. So, hopefully we should be able to see those changes soon - indeed, their "errata summary" page states that they will be made to DDI when the next major update is... which I would expect would be in the next few weeks.

And when they do, I'll be a happy camper - "schooling" the PH wizard powers was one of the eratta I've been hoping for.

Also glad to see the changes to Wizard of the Spiral Tower (we have one in my campaign) finally becoming official, though I had expected/hoped that The One Blade would be nerfed and it wasn't.

Mearls promised me a pony..err, I mean a melee basic attack solution for the battlemind and other non-strength classes well oevr a year ago. I am still waiting.

There is one - its called the Melee Training feat. Admittedly, its not a very good one (especially after the pre-Essentials errata),but it certainly exists.
