[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 4065894, member: 54629"] I thought I'd just point out that they have said a) "There is going to be a social encounter system" (which would presumably involve social skills, feats, and possibly even non-combat powers) but b) "We're not going to preview it at all". So my guess is that the rogue preview is incomplete. That is to say, they've undoubtedly left all of the "social encounter" stuff out of it because they're not going to preview that. All we're going to get in the previews is the combat stuff ... I suppose we might get some of the social encounter stuff after D&D XP, though, since people have been told they get to keep their character sheets and don't have to sign NDAs, etc etc. That being said, the demos could very well be purely combat-based ... hmm. *Goes back to waiting and seeing while remaining optimistic and excited* EDIT: Another question that's worth asking is "What happened to Trapfinding?" R&C said it was going to be a feat anyone could take but that rogues got it for free. The preview doesn't mention it. Does that mean it's been folded up as a "special use" of a skill (Thievery perhaps?). Or is it now a rogue utility power that other classes would have to multiclass to get? Curiouser and curiouser ... Hopefully this will be something that the D&D XP demos will clear up! [/QUOTE]
