With the release of the Rogue article, they've covered the three core principles behind DnD: they've given us finalized, crunchy stats for a race, a class, and a monster (now that I'm looking at it, all around the 20th-25th of each month. Suspicious...). The question becomes, now that they've shown us roughly how each will work, what should they show us next? Maybe someone at WotC will see what's most asked-for and give it to us around mid-late March. Here's what I'd like to see:
-A low-level monster. We know what kinds of things our PCs will be facing when they get into Epic levels, but what of the early days? A full writeup for one of the iconic low-level monsters would be great, especially now that we can pretty much build a level one elf rogue to compare it to. And what's more iconic and low-level than the Kobold?
-A ritual or two. We have a basic idea from the rogue article and various minor leaks what the normal in-combat powers are, but what about outside combat? I'd love to see what kinds of things got moved off the standard list and into the realm of the ritual. Did Teleport get moved? What about Fabricate?
-The Works. We've seen detailed stats for individual elements, but why not show us how it all comes together? I'm not talking about the narratives we see in playtest reports, either. I mean an actual transcript of a real exchange between players and DM. Show us the rolls and bonuses. Shout out your attacks. Fight something interesting and unconfirmed, and use previously-unknown powers to do it.
What kinds of things would you guys like to see?
