The Forgotten Realms 2. Combat Options (martial characters with powers, martial practices, spiked chains, healing surges, tables of critical hit and fumble effects)3. Magical Options (wizards at-will, encounter and daily powers, rituals, mana, overcasting, spell research, words of power, swordmages, warlocks)4. Exotic Races and classes5. An Adventure Path done wellFurthermore, the Dragon magazine must burst with articles to support mechanical conversion for Eberron, Dark Sun and Planescape; fluff on the Realms and those worlds.I think the Dragon magazine should avoid at all costs any articles which add new powers, et cetera to existing classes and races. That was a source of untested cheese in the Fourth Edition.The Dragon magazine should instead offer a cornucopia of fluff plus several playtesting articles for new classes (Shaman, Swordmage, Artificer, Seeker, Runepriest, et cetera).</blockquote>
