Word of Mearls: Official Player races will not get Oversized Weapons. Forked Thread

[DracoSuave]

I really, really don't like stripping powers from MM races. And I don't think the minotaur in Dragon got enough in return to really make him on par with the PHB races. A charge power? Meh. Fits thematically, but not particularly impressive.

Total nerf. And that's coming from someone who hates nerf-related whining.

Warforged got a lot out of their Dragon article. Gnolls got a bit. Minotaurs got the shaft.

Full Disclosure - My Living 4th Edition character is a rapier-wielding bugbear brutal rogue.

I wasn't aware they were handing out the 4th edition character creation cards yet. Cause if they haven't, and you don't have one, that's not a legal LFR character.

My bugbear isn't for Living Forgotten Realms, it's for Living 4th Edition, an EN World-hosted fan-created setting. See the link in my sig for more info!

Then I stand corrected. The 'living' designation threw me off.

 

[Ander00]

Definitely good news. Balance issues aside, it's as silly now as it was in 3.5.


cheers

No worries. If you enjoy Living worlds and are interested in Play by Post, we'd love to have you join us in L4W, though!

In any case, I worry that this will happen to my bugbear (though we haven't started evaluating non-PHB/MM/DMG rules for L4W inclusion yet).

Uh, and? everyone else who uses a dagger has the same issue.

Real Men Don't Roll d4s.

Besides, seriously, they're annoying, and I try my darnedest to avoid having to roll them.

My roomate bought blank d12s and wrote 1 through 4 on them 3 times. I think this is crazy.

 

[Danceofmasks]

Well, I've used 1/2 D8 (round up) on occasion, as they're nicer to roll.

 

[Derren]

As I don't like PCs and NPCs having different mechanics I don't see it as a good thing. Its similar to PX kobolds who are all nearly blind compared to other kobolds.

But in the gaming industry "Never" only means "Not in the next 6 months".

No one does. That's because d4s don't actually roll. They mostly just spin in the air before plopping down and remaining on the first side that hit bottom.
