[QUOTE="hopeless, post: 3889842, member: 36349"] [b]Okay...[/b] I believe the concern is that they've decided to base the 4th edition on the setting of Midnight and have released nothing to say otherwise. My point above is a little extreme but by including Warlocks as a core class and Tieflings as a core race in the first 4e phb it isn't coming across well. About the only good sign is that there hasn't been anything definite revealed about 4e that can't be taken as a sign that they've decided to base their first trilogy on an evil campaign. I would like to see how warlocks are going to be anything other than an evil character class mostly because of another thread where someone mentioned a fey version which sounded alot like a variant druid but that might be my misunderstanding. Still I do like this thread if no other reason than its something that WOTC should have had an article on however I suspect the preview book out next month might explain their thinking since only a certain J. Wyatt's Greenbriar campaign article has given me any hope that 4e will be anything I'd want to have anything to do with... Well that and the fact I'm proably the only person who actually likes seeing Faerun moved a century forward as I like the idea of running a campaign that has some remarkable similarity to a certain sci fi movie series but there won't be any lightsabers... at least not until I can get hold a copy of the Dorkness Rises... By the way thank you for starting this thread, its something that really needed to be addressed and I am hoping this will help get WOTC to elaborate on WHY they thought it was a good idea since there are dozens of ways it could be addressed yet I still don't see any reason for including Tieflings and removing ANY of the core phb races from previous editions since it really comes across as a campaign setting and not a core rulebook.
