Message: <blockquote data-quote="GM Dave" data-source="post: 5792342" data-attributes="member: 6687992">This weekend will set much of the tone for the coming year of playtest.While NDA will officially limit discussion of the rules there will be plenty of posts from people that were exposed to the rules (some reports will be real exposure and some will be 'fakes' that people will put out because well, they're just that type of people).Generally, within a week from now, we should have people constructing from 'memory' much of the base core system.We should have a few accounts of what the system is closest to being like.There will be some idea on whether it is a three or four defense system like 4e or it is back to an earlier 2e system (though I think that is unlikely).You should also learn of the amount of at wills and whether daily or encounter powers have returned or been replaced by a more Essentials Stances approach.You will likely get an idea of level 1 hit points again being closer to the 30 mark or closer to the 10 mark.  You will also likely get an idea of the damage rolled on attacks by players and monsters.The NDA will stop some of this information but the pool of people likely in the playtest and people using screen names should give off those details that can not be fully tracked back to them (or they'll say they got the information from a 'friend' that was at DDXP).Till this weekend is over.  I think it is a bit early for pronouncements of Doom, Doom, Doom! Modularity will not likely be solved but I expect that players sitting next to each other will have some significant differences in the detail of their character sheet to 'highlight' how the characters could be built with different choices and still be able to play at the same table.</blockquote>
