D&D 4th Edition

<< < (23/34) > >>

Dimmukane:
I have encountered traps and encounters at the same time.  One of our party members was a stone golem something-or-other, so he had a nice strength score.  There was a hallway about 100ft long ahead of us.  So this guy gets the bright idea of throwing me, a halfling, the length of the hallway to check for traps.  I got to the last one (there were four), got hit by it, rolled through the door at the end, into two chain golems.

I might as well say that after killing the chain golems and the lesser demon that followed, one character checked a sarcophagus while another decided to attack a pool of blood that was seen on the floor (he was really stoned).  The end result was he destroyed the philactery of a lich as it was rising from the grave.  My DM, who had spent two weeks planning that encounter, decided to take a break for half a year.

That review is seriously making me reconsider waiting 6 months after release to switch.

KvP:
I never thought I'd see the day when AICN would giddily hype something.

I will remain skeptical until I play the game.

Power gamers die early in my campaigns.  I'm just saying.  Kobolds have an unusually high critical rate against power gamers.

I think I've come across as a powergaming asshole in this thread and I hope that's not the case.  My problem is that, to me, the changes feel like it's inherently changing the game world of D&D.  I will try and create a more eloquent explanation, but that will have to do for now.  The MMO aspect that is alarming to me is that they are going to make each class more specialized, which will result in the Team Fortress effect.  That is, I'll have to rely on other dumbass players to get things done, meaning I end up dying in the process because some jacktard didn't hold up his end of the bargain.

In general, I like the sound of what they're doing ... there's just a lot of minor things that irk me about WotC & D&D. :roll: (ie; beardless dwarven women-folk ... wtf was that for?)

--- Quote ---Stat bonuses for races won’t be negative and only positive bonuses will be used.

Which probably won't make that much difference, if it means better positives.

Personally, I prefer Legend of the Five Rings. The only time I use D&D is if it's part of a pc game.
