These rules also allows the Fighter to shine, with all his At-Will powers that do additional damage to nearby monsters he'll reap through hordes of minions, which looks cool and heroic!ĩ) The KotS adventure feels quite cool, and lets the players to do heroic stuff (stopping a death-cult!) at mere level 3.ġ) Wizard spells have been narrowed down. I love the concept - expendable foot-soldier monsters easy to play and kill without much accounting needed it also highlights the "boss" monsters and focuses the action on them. This means that in 4E the wizard won't have to resort to a crossbow or dagger after casting a few spells (which, in previous editions, could be very few per day).Ĩ) Minions. Am I correct?ħ) Wizards finally can fight with magic and only magic all day long, as some spells are At-Will powers. Just add a few bits here and there and you're set, without much page-flipping. I like that.Ħ) Leveling a character seems quite easy, especially at odd levels.
Not only are most powers usable once per encounter (rather than a finite number of times per day), and not only is it easy to heal during combat without needing expendable spells, but you actually get benefits (Action Points) from doing multiple encounters per day. Therefore things look easier to track than in older editions.ĥ) It seems as if there was a conscious effort to cut down on the "15-minute adventuring day" phenomenon.
Similarly, your HP recover completely after an Extended Rest. Now most of your powers are either At-Will (usable any number of times per day) Encounter (usable once per encounter) or Daily (usable once per day). Feats seem to have been similarly simplified.Ĥ) There has been a significant effort to cut down on paperwork. There are also less skills than in 3E (which, IMHO, had too many of them) and the skills have been consolidated.

If I understand this correctly, instead of messing around with skill points (which was a bit messy in 3E), your skill modifier simply equals your ability modifier plus half your level (rounded down). I like this as it looks quite logical and streamlines the magic system as well.ģ) Skills are simplified. I hope this also holds true in the actual 4E rules.Ģ) Attack powers no longer have saving throws instead, the attacker rolls an attack against a static defense rating (similar to how AC is handled in 3E or 4E) there are four possible defenses - AC, Reflex, Fortitude and Will. The rules look quite simple (critical hits, for example, have been simplified to simple maximum damage rather than different damage multipliers and chances per weapon type bull-rishes and grapples have been similarly clarified and simplified). In the first glance it looks quite easy to learn and play. Everything is laid out in simple language and in a very readable format. I find it very easy to understand the game mechanics. I have read through both files - the Quick Start Rules and the Keep on the Shadowfell adventure - during the preceding week, and now I will post my first impressions from reading them.ġ) The overall Quick Start rules are very clearly written for the most part.

I figured that, since these materials are completely free of charge, they deserve, for the very least, a read-through.

Wizards of the Coasts have released a free set of Quick Start Rules and a free full-sized adventure available for download by anyone willing to check out the 4th edition of Dungeons and Dragons. I'm currently using the Basic fantasy RPG retro-clone rules to play D&D-style games. My experience with D&D is limited to BECMI, 2E, and 3.0E. I have never read through, let alone play, the 4th edition of D&D.
