In this newest issue of Dragon Magazine, they’ve released an article that details a lot more feats that are just for the Warden. I’m glad they did this because I was pretty underwhelmed by what was featured for them in the Player’s Handbook 2. They also added a few new powers and anew paragon path. Oh, and there’s some advice on how to play a Guardian effectively.

I played a Cleric back in the day and it was awesome. I remember being able to beat my foes down with a morning star while healing and resurrecting my allies. He was the one guy that never died in the campaign, not even once. Clerics are a strange beast because no one thinks they want to play one but they love having them in the party and when someone actually does play a Cleric they have a great time.

I won’t lie to you, almost no one wanted to play the Bard. A dude that plays a ukulele just isn’t a sexy as a Wizard that can summon a meteor to blow up the planet or a Cleric that can raise an army back from the dead. All you’ve got are your little tunes. I think this is just because of the way the Bard has been presented. Why isn’t he a rock and roll idol that uses his guitar to smite his foes with lightning? You could totally make the Bard that guy…At least in 4th Edition.

Adventurer’s Vault 2 already? Feels like it hasn’t been very long since we were looking at the first Adventurer’s Vault. This offers tons of new equipment but other than offering different equipment from the first Adventurer’s Vault, how is this one a sequel?

This entry just had stuff for powers and Paragon Paths. I’m guessing when these articles are all compiled into the full issue they’ll be organized much better and include the paragon tier feats that are missing here. I know they feature two already but that doesn’t seem proper. Though they could be holding out because they want to sell whatever book that will eventually feature the Assassin (maybe in the Dark Sun Campaign Setting?).

So how has the Barbarian fared in most of its incarnations? I’d say they’ve been shown a lot of love. Anyone from a Frank Frazetta fan to someone that just wants to kick a face in can get behind the Barbarian. Why be a Fighter when you can be the guy that flips out during battle and starts chopping up all of the goblins without the silly burden of thoughts getting in your way?

Yeah, Baby! The Assassin! I’ve been waiting for this guy since the launch of 4th Edition. I kept expecting to see an announcement of the Assassin for the Player’s Handbook 3, but instead they feature the whole class in Dragon Magazine #379! This thing isn’t like a beta test that they’ve done for previous classes. There are build options, lots of powers, and a ton of feats. This is a fully functioning class.

It’s amazing how much information a single experience might yield. A few months ago, Peter Coogan – who, with my colleague Dr. Randy Duncan, co-founded the Comics Arts Conference, the academic conference-within-the-convention held in conjunction with both WonderCon and San Diego Comic-Con International – asked if I’d like to help moderate a CAC panel on [...]

The game incorporates a mix of ranged and hand-to-hand [...]
