D&D 4th Edition
MusicScribbles:
I'm pretty interested in this new edition not because it looks like its being 'streamlined', but this is definitely more of an overhaul than there has been for a while. Reading this

If you’re a barbarian, you’re a barbarian for your entire career. The frenzied berserker and bear warrior will be at the very end.

. What does this mean?
KvP:
I know old players who are this close to abandoning D&D because of TSR fully embracing the munchkin races that have been so popular (tieflings & drow) even if they're going to be softened. Priorities, I suppose.
ackblom12:
The 2nd half I think is just poorly worded. Multi-Classing is still in, so it's not a hint at the death of that.
Maybe just a bad hint at what 2 of the Barbarian style Prestige classes are?
MusicScribbles:
Ah, I think I get it now. Even though there will be prestige classes, your barbarian 'whatever you prestige in' will still be a barbarian. Interesting.

Races - Really, as much as I love gnomes, I do have to agree that either they or halflings had to go to flesh out the other. Overall I think it's a good decision.

I'll disagree here for the reason that gnomes and halflings were quite different back in AD&D days. I don't see what's so difficult about giving them a unique set of racial abilities that sets them apart from halflings, personally. Give them the old +intelligence, -wisdom thing.
Of course, they are JUST going with + to racial stats now. (Again, that feels like an MMO mechanism to me, making it so you'll work regardless of what you do instead of making certain races clearly defined for certain roles.)
@ MusicScribbles: I admit I like that change. I always thought it was kind of funny fighter as a class was only there in so much that it helped you get feats faster to qualify for much better prestige classes. It sounds like now they are going back to a more AD&D approach where you more or less "kit", which doesn't change the core of your class but adds a little extra.
