I just noticed that the class acts for December's issue of Dragon is for the Runepriest. Thank you!  A thousand times Thank you!  I was starting to wonder if the poor Runepriests had been completely abandoned by WotC, the poor orphan of PHB3 that missed out on Psionic Power.

I'm not sure I can wait until Friday.... any chance you could give us a hint on what to expect? Will this be a full new build or will be a handful of new powers?  I'd like to see some new at-wills, a new PP and a new epic destiny.  New encounters and dailies would be nice too. Yeah, I guess I want a whole new build path.

Hopefully this shows that WotC is still willing to support some of the older non-Essential classes that were not so well fleshed out. Maybe next month we'll see some artificer love? Please?

It makes sense that the Runepriest missed out on Psionic Power, considering its power source is Divine. 

Enjoy the article, and don't worry, when Divine Power 2 comes out, the Runepriest should get plenty of love.

IF Divine Power 2 comes out!

I'm pretty excited about this one too.  I mean, they've already given the Wilden, the Shardmind and Seeker some on-line love, it's about time!  Hopefully they'll have some "better" feats for the runepriest.

I'm greatly looking forward to this article as well.  The Runepriest was the class I liked the most from PHB3, and my Goliath Runepriest, Jonquist*, will hopefully benefit from the additional material.

* He appeared in my head with such a jovial and exuberant mannerism that whenever I type his name I almost automatically have to make it bold).

Wont it annoy everyone if you get some useless backgrounds, a useless item or two and a smattering of useless feats that dont make it to the compilation. This would follow their current trend of article quality.

Hey, at least wait until after the article is published to puncture our jubilance!

I know I will not be happy if this is true, just like I was with the changeling article a while back

Really WotC? Another article pushed back the day it's supposed to be released? You have to know it's not going to be ready at least a few days before it's supposed to go up, this is getting ridiculous.

Yeah happy to see finally some love for the Runepriest.

I hope no one will be annoyed, and that Lady_Aurailia will be 100% flat wrong. (Sorry Lady Smile)

I hope it`s a solid one. A heavy broadstreet bully of an Article that will punch hard in the face. One like we didn`t see for a looong time.

Remember friend, Christmas often serves to give back to the poor that are in need. The time as come....

I hope I'm wrong to, but unfortunately their past performance does not give me much hope.

Well didnt I call it, 4 items. What makes it even worse is that they are rare so they are only received at your GM's discretion at a high level. The people writing and picking these articles just dont get it. This class is in real need of attention, powers, feats and builds but that is all they can come up with?! How on earth do they justify allowing these people to keep their jobs?

So let me get this straight, the runepriest is a class that truly needs help with articles.  It is the only class lacking class feats, and overall lacks support.

The first article to come along and have the name of the class on it, and has very little to do with the class.  What were you thinking?  Why not have this under a "Bazaar of the Bizare?".

Way to waste an opportunity.  We won't have another article for runepriests for a very long time.

This would have been fine if the Runepriest was in a better position for options, but as a debut article on the class it is wholly inappropriate.

If the article actually was what you predicted it would have actually been better than what it was. Even if the feats were terrible at least that would have justified making this a class acts article.

If you're interested in letting WotC know what you think about the Runepriest "support" you  should post your comments in the official discussion thread. It's making for some interesting reading.
