Hey people, I can see you signed your name. You don't need to do this. I can see it on the side, right above your avatar.

Re: Where's more 4th Edition?
Alright then. Remember I'm still new at 4E, and only have the core books, and haven't even managed to look through and get a grip on what extra books they already have out now.
What's the difference, then, between the "Player's Options" book Heroes of Shadow, and things like the Powers books? Are there any other "Player's Options" books, or is this one the first?Assassin avatar by the awesome Elder Tsofu.

Re: Where's more 4th Edition?
It's hard to say right now, as Heroes of Shadow hasn't come out yet, nor has any real details been released. As for other Player's Options books, Heroes of the Fallen Lands and Heroes of the Forgotten Kingdoms from the Essentials line don't have "Player's Options" in their names, but they do have another obvious similarity in naming scheme.
Thanks to Elrond for the Vash avatar.

No wonder I assumed it was in the Essentials line. I saw the others with the similar names!

Re: Where's more 4th Edition?
As long as this new 'item rarity' system doesn't cause Mimics to transform into randomized booster packs instead of treasure chests, I'm all cool with it myself.

Re: Where's more 4th Edition?
But of course.
The difference is that the Powers books contain new builds and powers for existing classes, whereas the Heroes of Shadow book is said to contain new classes. It's more easily compared to the PHB3 than to the Power books.
Also, the layout, the paperback size, the double flavor text on all powers, the rarity on items, etc.Guide to the Magus, the Pathfinder Gish class.

Re: Where's more 4th Edition?
Yeah, but to be fair, Encounters is Wizard's way of not only giving a way for players to play, but also to showcase their new products.
Now what we can curse Wizards for is making the Character Builder such a good, well supported program that makes it a breeze to make characters.

Re: Where's more 4th Edition?
You know, for some of us it's a blessing as iot means we don't have to worry any more hardcovers coming out for a while, given my group is in the middle of a big campaign we want things to stand still. I want things to stand still, as DM so I don't have to remember as much.
The monk is a bit pissed off though.
None of my group is going to go with Essentials, we discussed it and all said no way as we said 4E was dumbing down anyway from 3.5. But we play 4E as it's so compatable with Star Wars, which we came off the back of.
