Re: 4th edition dnd
My beef is that until 4th ed, there's still no class that is dedicated to range attack yet. Until now there's still no Archer/Hunter class yet. What gives?
For pc gaming, I can't see many rpg that uses 4th ed. With BIS gone kaput, the only rpg that I see that uses 4th ed is probably Neverwinter Night 3. |

Re: 4th edition dnd
You can specialize a fighter to be an archer. In my opinion, classes should be limited in number and great in possibilities. The more classes you make, the less people have to make their own decisions on their characters development

Re: 4th edition dnd
No, my mental pictures of fighters is that they are meleer's, not range attackers. There should be more class option so that people have more choices. More choices mean more possibility of solving a given task using different type of classes. How many times can you play a game using the same type of class again and again before feeling bored?

Re: 4th edition dnd
Wasn't there a prestige Arcane Archer class at one point?

Re: 4th edition dnd
The one thing that really does pique my interest with 4th edition D&D is the software that comes with it. If I remember reading correctly, there is dungeon design software and all that fancy stuff to make designing and playing all the more immersive. Then again, D&D was always about the imagination. But still, tools like that I always love to tinker with.

Re: 4th edition dnd
i remember wanting to fo for arcane archer in my 3E session only to find out the arcane archer is seriously flawed. Taking 2 rounds to imbue an arrow with shocking grasp only to fail to hit the target is not more efficient then a "fireball in your face"
In the end i went for arcane trickster which is also flawed but more fun!
