D&D 4E Tell us what you like and don't like about 4e

[Turanil]

As you may not know already, a few copies of the 4e PHB and DMG have been released last Sunday at Walmart (it was a marketing pre-test). Some of us who got their copy of the books conveniently forgot to sign a non-disclosure agreement. So we are free to give our impressions and comments right here on these boards.

Myself I felt reconciled with the dungeonpunk style when I first saw that nude succubus illustration by Larry Elmore p.38, under the Houri class. Now, my main complaint is that (as suspected) the houri is totally unbalanced, and cannot fit in any party featuring Cobalt Knights and Spell-jackers.

By the way, you are free to use this thread to scream: "PLEASE NO MORE 4e THREADS!!!"

The idea of any Elmore character naked makes me want to pluck my eyes out.

Oh, and I heard rangers got the shaft.

Thank goodness Druids and Clerics got a power boost. They needed the good BAB and d12 HD on top of everything else.

Apparently, they got tired of people groaning about weapon sizes, and brought back the weapon length, speed factors, and to hit vs. AC adjustments in a fit of blind rage/insanity.

Crap. I thought they had bumped them to d14 and d16 respectively. This was done because Lou Zocchi found something to blackmail them with. This ensures a bump in sales of his more esoteric dice.

Mmmm. Nuns with guns. Now *that* is Latin for Cool.

I like how they seperated Harm into nine different spells, so you have a choice now as to how it effects your target, and wether it gets a save. The old way was much too complicated.

I think it's time for a new tagline:

"My Hate of 4e Knows No Limits"
