May 29, 200817 yr Due to some distributor's mistake, 4E books have been shipped 10 before the launch date! WotC is mad with this but who cares? The following link explains everything: http://www.rpgcodex.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=24420 I didn't expect anything good in the first place, but 4E really seems to be dumbed down version of 3E with anime/marvel-DC comics special abilities... sucks... I wil stick to 3.5 E "Ooo, squirrels, Boo! I know I saw them! Quick, throw nuts!" -Minsc "I am a well-known racist in the Realms! Elves? Dwarves? Ha! Kill'em all! Humans rule! -Me Volourn will never grow up, he's like the Black Peter Pan, here to tell you that it might be great to always be a child, but everybody around is gonna hate it.
May 29, 200817 yr Nah, I'm halfway through PHB, and 4E seems good so far. The way some powers look and work is pretty ludicrous, but there are some real gems, like this: Stylish and badass, without being over the top. I like most of the changes made to the core mechanics, so if you think you can stomach the flashier powers, definitely pick up a copy of PHB.

May 29, 200817 yr Keep in mind that the damage buffs and debuffs deal is usually laughable. 2d10, and that's a level 29 daily. Still stupid, but I can live with it. Not to mention that it will be right at home at pulpy settings, such as Eberron.
May 29, 200817 yr u doin it rong. The spells deals 2d8+CHA points of damage and gives a -1 Will penalty. -(1+INT) if you have a Star Pact.
May 29, 200817 yr If you have read the Tome of Magic for 3.5e there was a class in there calle the Binder that makes pacts with various fallen powers to gain abilities. The Warlock can do this in 4e if that is the route the player wants to go with his or her character.

May 29, 200817 yr IIRC, there's at least Fey Pact, Demon Pact and Star Pact(whatever that means). kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds

May 30, 200817 yr I think it's safe to say that WotSC has finally managed to destroy anything that was left of D&D. It took them a long time to manage the feat. But epic stupidity will always win out in the end. 4e=utter disgrace.
May 30, 200817 yr I like quite a bit of what I read. I'd buy the book if I ever PnP'ed. Which I don't. Edited May 30, 200817 yr by Tale "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
May 30, 200817 yr Author Dnd 4E is made for MMORPG gaming. Period. Look at DDI, it's like WOW but worse in every aspect "Ooo, squirrels, Boo! I know I saw them!

May 30, 200817 yr There are a quite a number of things I don't like about 4e but there are somethings I do like. I think I will tear 4e apart and disgard what I don't like and fill it in with Arcana Evolved material.

May 30, 200817 yr I wonder what kind of pact my Neverwinter Nights 3 (or whatever the next D&D CRPG is) Warlock will make. Star or Infernal. Star sounds tempting. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

May 30, 200817 yr That's a wrong impression. I can understand why some people may call 4E a miniatures wargame, but an MMO? Sorry, but no. Fact: your 4E campaign will have as much role-playing as the DM wants. Read: as much as the previous editions had.
May 30, 200817 yr Lovecraftian flavor in my favorite class? nom nom nom nom, delish "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
