So .. I see that nobody has posted a question in a while so I have one .. for D&D 4th edition

What are three races that are being lost to the core book for 4.0 and as a bonus question what is replacing them

I don't know what you've heard and where, but I read that the gnome and the half-orc are going to be taken out, and replaced by about three races: tiefling, dragonborn (?!!) and Eladrin.

It actually looks like they are throwing around the complete look that I had on the basic fantasy world. Orcs (or half-orcs) apparently are no longer considered important enough to make it into PHB? But tiefling and a weird version of the elves (Eladrin) are? I can't believe it....

anyway, was that what you had in mind with your question? Or did I miss something?

I was very cool to the idea of D&D 4.0 to begin with (heck, most of you know that I still prefer 2nd edition! ). That being said, no more gnomes? Whaaa? Half orcs I can take or leave; I never really thought of them as a core race, anyway.

What really got me was Almerin's answer for additions. I sincerely hope you are wrong!

Elf offshots? Meh.

Tiefling??? Half demons are now a core race?

Dragonborn? I just threw up in my mouth. Excuse me, I may need to go do the real thing.

If half demon and half dragon are to now be considered common, standard fantasy races by D&D... ugh. Just ugh.

funny,
who votes that we should produce our own edition of D&D?

That was my trivia question .. so whoever wants to post a new question feel free.

also . I am opening up a thread for 4.0 discussion .. since we all need to vent about this one as it approaches.

new question then:

Which dungeons and dragons campaign setting was known for its space travel and sci-fi environment?

Ooh, I know that one, name not coming to me. I can't remmeber.


GETTING RID OF HALF-ORCS AND GNOMES IS BAD!!!



TIEFLINGS AND DRAGONBORN!? ELF OFFSHOOTS!?


D*** you 4.0 you m***** f****** stupid a** update that ruins life in all things.

SpellJammer? Fought many Illithids in that milieu ...

I already jumped though the rings and got premission and created an entier Harry Potter RPG.... whats revamping D&D.. not that hard

Is that a new question, Moria? Or just a comment that has nothing to do with this topic?

This question is for hardcore trivia abusers. It is so much so that the answer is indeed trivial. In the Player's Handbook, edition 3.5, Jozan, the cleric, attempts to drive away seven human zombies with his turn undead ability. What is the result of his turning check?

He rolls a 9 and on his second attempt rolls a 21.


And Philo you're sick in the head.


This one is easy.


What is the most prevalent alignment of a Vargoule (sp?)

Vargouille = LE
Gargoyle = CE

If I am wearing a headband of int +4 giving me a combined int total of 26 .. how many extra spells do I get from bonus spells? (you might want to check the rules on this one)

Spell Bonus
lvl Spells
1 2
2 2
3 2
4 2
5 1
6 1
7 1
8 1

Here's one of mine

In Dark Sun, what class (between Cleric, Preserver, Defiler, and Psionicist) was unable to transform after Level 30?

Unfortunately the headband does not give any bonus spells .. so you would only get 2 1st and 2 2nd level spells. So your effective int for bonus spells would only be 22.

2,2,1,1,1,1 etc

Doesn't that suck. How many people have been playing that a an item (such as a headband) gives a bonus to spells known or even skill points when it actually is only given when you take a permanent change to your stat. Headbands would only be considered temporary unfortunately. I just learned this recently and it makes me very sad
