So what do we KNOW will be in the Revised Rules so far?

[Kai Lord]

I know a lot of people have gotten bits and pieces as to what changes will be made in the Revised Rules. I think it would be interesting to have a thread of all the compiled knowledge on the subject to date.

Feel free to post one or more changes you're aware of, and how sure you are of that knowledge.

 

[Darkness]

"Racial" weapons like the Dwarven Waraxe and the Orc Doubleaxe will be Martial weapons for the race in question and Exotic for everyone else (rather than Exotic, period, as they are now).

 

[Kai Lord]

So are the changes to the racial weapons the only confirmed revisions?

Well if you trust the word of a Moderator on the WotC forums- that Harm not having a save was a admitted mistake and will be fixed.

 

[Triumph]

I believe its been confirmed that the Red Wizard of Thay PrC will be in the Revised DMG, and a number of splatbook and FRCS feats will be in the PHB.

New art, probably for all of the demons and devils that weren't illustrated, is supposedly being included in the Revised MM.

We know they are going to have new covers... wonder what they will look like.

 

[Archer]

Dwarven Waraxe is already a martial weapon. Its racial double weapons that will become martial weapons. The dragon magazine article had the latest info on the update with ogre as a stardardized race description. Each month they will supposedly be more updates on wizards.com

Have they specified exactly *what* they'll do with the "racial weapon familiarity" ability (or whatever it was called)? The only thing I've seen was that the Urgrosh would be a martial weapon for dwarves. I haven't seen any mention that this would be a general thing.
