A memoria ha unito le tribù di orchi in un regno... E' perfino diventato un Exarch (semidio) Vi sono cose decisamente divertenti. Var the Golden (all'estremità sud-est) dopo essere finito sommerso è diventato Var the Drowned...

Ti da un bonus ai danni uguale al modificatore di forza ogni volta che fai un arracco furtivo. (quindi se hai forza 18 hai un +4 ai danni) Si. Il metà livello lo aggiungi a tutto sostanzialmente. Come hai detto, vi sono alcuni casi, come gli attacchi d'opportunità, in cui DEVI usare gli attacchi normali. Facciamo un esempio: se usi "colpo torturante" che causa 2[A]+mod destrezza, col critico massimizzi i danni dell'arma (quindi i 2A). Rimane dubbio se l'attacco furtivo si massimizzi oppure no. Al momento la cosa non è chiarita. Alcuni DM lo lasciamo massimizzare, altri no. Lo stealth è stato chiarito e i chiarimenti li trovi nel D&D Compendium qui: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/insider/compendium In ogni caso dice: Keep Still: If you move more than 2 squares during an action, you must make a new Stealth check with a –5 penalty. If you run, the penalty is –10. If any enemy’s passive Perception check beats your check result, you don’t remain hidden from that enemy

Si, è come avre una di "quellecoselì" solo che le hai qui. Per quel che riguarda l'utilità dipende da chi fonda la corporazione. Uno può fondarla per radunare gli amanti della pizza del forum o per fare qualcosa di maggiormente utile. L'integrazione blog, forum, corporazioni, proseguirà... il prossimo passo, giusto per anticipare qualcosa, saranno i blog di gruppo, ossia la possibilità per più persone di mantenere uno stesso blog...

Per allora l'impianto corporazioni sarà aggiornato... mmm.... hai un "modifica" da qualche parte vicino alla tua corporazione? Hai provato da lì?

Non sono ordinabili per "ultimo messaggio"? Quando ci sono utenti si ha una notifica, pertanto penso abbiano ritenuto inutile andare a tale pagina se non ci sono utenti... per eliminare utenti dalla corporazione lo si fa direttamente dalla corporazione.

Considera che città come Neverwinter e Luskan sono solo rovine... Solo in inglese.

Ecco la mappa dei nuovi reami come appaiono nel Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide:

Mi permetto di dissentire completamente da questo. D&D è SEMPRE stato un gioco collaborativo in cui era auspicabile la presenza di determinate classi. Fin dalla versione BECMI (scatola rossa) nel gruppo doveva esserci un guerriero, un mago e un chierico. Anche con la 1a e la seconda edizione il gruppo funzionava bene se c'era uno che picchiava, uno che "castava" e uno che curava... Ora che questa cosa che durava da 20 anni l'hanno messa per iscritto sembra un anatema e la fine del gioco di ruolo... dimenticado che dall'altra parte non c'è una stupida macchina ma una persona (DM) che dovrebbe aggiustare le cose in funzione di cosa ha o non ha il gruppo. In realtà IMHO non cambia assolutamente nulla. E' il D&D che è sempre stato.

C'è un diverso modo di contare le ristampe tra noi e gli americani. 1. stampa manuali (first printing) 2. fine maggio, ristampa manuali (second printing) 3. inizio agosto, ristampa manuali (third printing) In termini italiani 2 ristampe In termini americani "tre printing"

Come già annunciato su ICV2 il 30 maggio D&D 4E è tornato in tipografia per una seconda ristampa in quanto la prima è stata quasi esaurita dalle sole prenotazioni e dai riordini. Lo stesso articolo, poi confermato da Mike Mearls, ci informa anche che la prima stampa dei manuali era del 50% superiore a quella della 3.5 (che già era superiore a quella della 3.0). L'8 agosto sul sito WotC Bill Slavicsek ha affermato che è già partita la terza ristampa, che le avventure H1 e H2 sono in ristampa e che l'accessorio DU1 Halls of the Giant Kings in meno di un mese è scomparso dagli inventari WotC. Conclude con un: This means that, using the current trends, we’re going to crush our original projections for 4th Edition in 2008!

Questo quanto raccolto durante la GenCON e da altre fonti da Ondo su Enworld... Compiled info on upcoming classes & races So I've decided to try and gather links to sources of info about upcoming classes, races, and power sources, in the hopes that it'll help people (like me, for instance) stay caught up on all the info. I'm not repeating most info that was in Races & Classes, at least for now. Known power sources are Martial, Arcane, Divine, Psionic, Shadow, Primal, Elemental, and Ki (PHB). These 8 "should take care of basically 90% of the classes they foresee making." (source) Products "New classes are mainly going to be introduced in PHBs" (source). Martial Power will not include any new classes. The Forgotten Realms Player's Guide will include the Swordmage, as well as Drow and Genasi (source). It will also include a multiclass-only class for characters with spellscars (source). Barbarians, Bards, Druids, and Gnomes will be mentioned in Forgotten Realms products (source), as will Half-Orcs and Goliaths (source). The Manual of the Planes will include a playable race (source), done as a Monster Manual style writeup (source). The Eberron Player's Guide will include the Artificer (source). D&D Insider Dragon will reveal new classes and races in playtest mode before they appear in a future Player's Handbook (source). Rich Baker hopes to have Half-Orcs on DDi pretty soon after the Player's Handbook hits (source; note this is from January). He expects to see at least a couple of returning classes (Barbarian, Druid, Bard, Sorcerer) on DDi by this summer (source); later he guesses we might see Bard or Druid by late summer or early fall (source). There will be Barbarian previews on DDI later this year (source). Wizards has plans to release an annual "Best of" compendium each year (source). Player's Handbook II Amazon lists a release date of March 17th (source). The cover is available here. The Player's Handbook II covers Arcane, Divine, and Primal heroes (from the cover). Barbarians, Bards, Druids, and Sorcerers are all confirmed for the PHB2 (source, source). Gnomes, Half-Orcs, Goliaths, and Shifters will be in the PHB2 (source, source). There will also be a race that starts with a D, and a race (possibly the same one) that has a second letter of E (source, source). Wizards has no plans to reprint races and classes in the Forgotten Realm's Player's Guide in the PHB2 (source). Mike Mearls discusses the PHB2 on Gamer Radio Zero http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNtc4sJTdWc. Some highlights: "If there's stuff in the Player's Handbook that you're like, 'hey, where's this class', it's probably going to be in the Player's Handbook 2." Also new classes - a cleric that's a bit more on the spellcaster-y side, a striker that's a "deadly and dangerous" kind of guy. The druid (I think the 3.5 druid, but I'm not sure) is the main example of a primal character, and other primal classes do things that will remind you of the druid, but in their own unique way. He lists the first letters of each class in the PHB2 - D, B, B, W, I, T, S, S (after this correction). He also says "I think only three of those are classes that anyone has ever seen before. I think the other ones are all new classes, completely new to Dungeons & Dragons." However, when asked on his blog how many classes are new he says "Three are completely and utterly new. The rest are either classes or old concepts revisited." (source) Player's Handbook III Psionic was the new power source highest on the list to make the PHB2, along with Primal, but they weren't sure if there was room (source). Apparently there wasn't, so it seems like a good guess for PHB3. Specific Classes Artificer The Artificer will be an Arcane Leader, and a playtest version is available here. Bard The Bard will be an Arcane Leader (source). Druid Significant Druid info here. Elementalist Elementalists are mentioned in the Dwarf entry in Races & Classes alongside clerics, paladins, fighters, barbarians, rangers, and wizards, so they are likely a planned class. Illusionist Illusionists will have better Invisibility options than a Wizard (source). They may use the Shadow power source (source). Monk The Monk is not a Martial Striker, and as of D&D XP they had not seriously started designing the class (source). Necromancer Necromancers are mentioned here. They use the Shadow power source (Worlds & Monsters, and here). Shaman The Shaman is mentioned as a class that fills the Leader role (source). Rich Baker mentions it "includes some neat mechanisms for dealing with nature spirits". (source) Sorcerer It appears the Sorcerer will be an Arcane Controller. Rich Baker mentions thinking hard about "how it could occupy the same role and power source as the wizard but be a different class" (source), and Christopher Perkins mentions Sorcerer as a possibility for members of the Arcane Caste, along with Wizard and Warlock (source). Significant info on the Sorcerer here. Sorcerers will get flying a little faster than wizards do (source). Swordmage Significant info on the Swordmage here. Info from a 5th level Swordmage in an RPGA adventure here. "Multiclassing into swordmage is pretty easy for a wizard (and vice versa)" (source). Swordmages like Int and Str (source). Swordshock is a 17th level encounter power for Swordmages that sheathes their sword in lightning (source). Specific Races Rich Baker gives his guesstimate of traction for ten races from Aarakocra to Catfolk here. Genasi Genasi ability adjustments "don’t really support warlock all that well"; they have elemental manifestations, which are "really righteous racial abilities"; Firesoul and Stormsoul are two of the options (source). Goliath Goliaths will probably be in 4e Forgotten Realms, possibly with a spot in Faerun earmarked for them so you'll know where they're from when they're released (source). Half-Giant Half-Giants may be too similar to Goliaths (source). Half-Orc Half-Orcs "imply a very ugly backstory"; they may try to change that (source). Misc. On The Tome, Andy Collins was asked about upcoming Controllers, and said they're still in the early design phase of the next wave of classes, but mentioned the Sorcerer is possible for that role, and they're thinking about a Divine Controller and some form of Psionic Controller. (It's at about 23:25 in the podcast.) He also mentioned "you're not going to see the Cleric throwing around Flame Strike type powers really frequently", but "when we get around to a Divine Controller class he will probably have more of those type of effects". (At about 27:30.)

Corretto fino a qui.

Se volevo dire piatto avrei detto "piatto" e non "equilibrato". Quindi almeno per quel che mi riguarda non confondo i due termini. La personalizzazione del PG è demandata completamente alla scelta di poteri e talenti e non alle meccaniche base. La meccanica dell'aggiunta di metà livello "a tutto" mantiene bilanciato "il tutto" anche agli alti livelli. Per quel che riguarda le skill faccio notare che anch'esse possono essere migliorate (o fatte diventare trained) con l'ausilio dei talenti. Il manuale base ne ha ben 3 che riguardano le skill...

Personalmente trovo la meccanica relativa al combattimento (tiri per colpire, difese) molto più equilibrata. L'idea che le difese avanzino di pari passso con l'attacco è un ottimo sistema per mantenere i PG bilanciati anche agli alti livelli. La differenza poi su migliorare un aspetto piuttosto che un altro durante l'avanzamento la fanno talenti e/o poteri.

Ecco l'elenco di rituali presenti nel FRCG: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/4ex/20080819a

Dipende... io ero abbonato a Dragon (edizione inglese) e mi costava sui 60 euro/anno. Ora con 59.40 dollari ho entrambe le riviste. Dal mio punto di vista è conveniente... certo non ho la comodità di una rivista cartacea perchè ho il PDF, ma ho entrambe le riviste ad una quarantina di euro, più le atre cose comprese...
