This may not be a quick question, and may have been answered sometime before.

Q29: Why was the Druid removed from 4th edition?

A29: It was not removed, it was delayed.

PHB pg 54]Other Power Sources: Additional power sources and techniques provide characters of different classes with powers and abilities. These will appear in future Player’ wrote:

Other Power Sources: Additional power sources and techniques provide characters of different classes with powers and abilities. [u]These will appear in future Player’s Handbook volumes. For example, barbarians and druids draw on the primal forces of nature, monks harness the power of their soul energy (or ki), and psions call upon the mind to generate psionic powers. Future power sources include elemental, ki, primal, psionic, and shadow.

Q26. In a thread somewhere, someone quoted a "Revision" of a poorly worded portion of the PHB. (I believe it was about the at-wills a half-elf can choose as a Dilettante.) Are there official revisons already out and about somewhere, and if so, how/where can I find them?

A26: I haven't seen anything aside from player-made revisions. Seeing as how the new edition has been out 8 days as of this post I highly doubt there are any official ones.

Q27. Similarly, people refer to things that will be errata'd. Where does said errata eventually appear? In the PHBII?

A27.With the last edition the errata appeared exclusively on their web sit. I can only assume they will follow this trend.

1. What's the price/what page do they detail the armors in?

2. The armors seem sort of fluffy while being crunchy, are they just being used as examples of exceptional armor

I think this is one of the more confusing things in the PHB. The exceptional armors are just that. They are essentially higher classes of armor to allow your armor class to scale properly with level. The minimum enhancement is the base price. For instance the lowest price you could get a set of Godplate for is 1,125,000gp being +6 magic armor. From what I understand that is a base AC from armor of +20 at that rate. Also, that minimum enhancement bonus mean you will never find superior armor below that price range, so no +1 godplate.

3. Where's the beef? (and by beef, I mean wealth/lvl table)

There is no longer a "wealth" table, what they do have is this.

DMG pg 143]Choose Equipment and Magic Items. Mundane equipment is much less important for higherlevel characters than it is when you’ wrote:

Choose Equipment and Magic Items. Mundane equipment is much less important for higherlevel characters than it is when you’re starting out. Choose whatever standard adventuring gear you want from the tables in the Player’s Handbook. For magic items, choose one item of your level + 1, one item of your level, and one item of your level – 1. In addition, you have gold pieces equal to the value of one magic item of your level – 1. You can spend this money on rituals, potions, or other magic items, or save it for later.

Minor correction: Wizards have said that they'll reprint the big three each year, and include errata in that.

No they didn't. Each new phb will be akin to the phb2 in 3e. It will contain new classes and races(and power sources). It is NOT a reprint of the phb1 with errata.

Same goes for the mm's and dmg's.

Q:30 Can someone please clearify the rouge first strike rule. As i see it, it can be read several different ways (pg. 117). Does any mean he picks one, or does it mean all targets that have not yet acted? If it means pick one, does that mean the combat advantage lasts forever, or untill that one target has acted?

A30: I would imagine it's similar to the previous edition's rule. That is, you have Combat Advantage against all the creatures that have not acted yet. Chances are you will only have one or two as a target. Unless there is a 3 by 3 block of enemies that you could Blinding Barrage. Just keep in mind that the balance here is that you only get one sneak attack per round.
