Mar 07, 2012 6:38:16 The question I have, is that character picking the lock the new Svirfneblin race? I am already so in love with this book.

Serious Wizards, thank you so much!

Yes. That's Thorry the Unlucky.

Mar 07, 2012 8:46:09 Will svirfneblin be treated as a "new" race with different ability score adjustments or just be a subrace of the current gnome?

Mar 07, 2012 14:34:06 The 'Into the Unknown...' book sounded weak to me at first...but now. I'm actually excited. 3 playable races I've wanted given the 'offical' treatment for YEARS, and some cool sounding themes to boot. Hope the races are published with racial feats as well, as I doubt they'll get subsequent support... Undermountain sounds good too, and if it is...Scaling it up in levels shouldn't take more than a few hours/days, lol.
This is some of the best 4e news I've heard in about 6 months, really.

But I have to say, yet again...What about 'Heroes Option: The Astral Sea'? And a DMG3 focusing on epic tier play? Everyone knows the buzz is all on 5e (still hope it won't be called D&D NEXT) but I hope they bring 4e to a pleasant conclusion. I personally couldn't just stop 4 years of work with out finishing. I'm OCD like that. To me, that's like leaving a painting without that final touch of line, color or shape. That last effort that makes you say to yourself "Ok, I can stop. It's DONE. Beautiful. Any more, and I'll ruin it."

Player's Option: Heroes of the Astral Sea basically would be the same material as in Divine Power – while Arcane and Primal had room to play around with Fey magic, Divine magic basically DEFINES the Astral Sea. So unless the book was all about playing Quom and Githyanki, there's not much to offer there that isn't in other sources. It might happen. It's just the least likely in my opinion.

DMG3 is out, and it's free. It's called the 2011 Compilation of The Dungeon Master Experience. And boy is that compilation full of win.

If they do it, they will find a a way to put a wizard in it.

Perhaps the Divine School of Magic for the Mage?

I don't doubt it. These aren't the Clerics of the Coast, after all.

Mar 09, 2012 13:03:12 you know...depending on how they do it, the trapsmith might be very good for stealth based characters. You know, build traps out of nowhere without the enemy knowing.
