Well! What a nice little (retro- throwback) surprise to put in the Dungeon Survival Handbook! Scrolls of Power, go figure!  -DS

Wish. Ugh. These had better be Rare items, so that people can avoid them like the plague they are. Power Word Kill, ditto. Hey, look, I can see the big bad. He dies. Story over.
This book is really turning me in circles. I've really liked some bits of the previes, and absolutely detested othersl Like this one.

These have no rarity. They are given out as rewards to amazing quests and feats of heroism. They're like artifacts. Completely DM controlled.

While one report may say that FLGS report a greater amount of book sales, one cannot forget the fact that the 71000 DDI subscribers paying 6-10 dollars a month don't count as "Book Sales." "see sig" redirects here

Stuff I Heard Mike Say (subject to change): Multiclassing will be different than in 3.5! That's important.
There is no level cap; classes advance ala 3.5 epic levels after a set level.
Mundane (AKA fighter and co) encounter and daily powers will probably not be in the PHB (for the lack of space), but nor will they be in some obscure book released halfway through the edition. You can't please everyone, but you can please me. I DO NOT WANT A FREAKING 4E REPEAT. I DO NOT WANT A MODULE THAT MIMICS MY FAVORITE EDITION. I WANT MODULES THAT MIMIC A PLAYSTYLE AND CAN BE INTERCHANGED TO COMPLETELY CHANGE THE FEEL, BUT NOT THE THEME, OF D&D. A perfect example would be an espionage module, or desert survival. A BAD EXAMPLE IS HEALING SURGES. WE HAVE 4E FOR THOSE! A good example is a way to combine a mundane and self healing module, a high-survival-rate module, and a separate pool of healing resource module.

Yeah, I like that these are not really spells or items, but rather controlled by the DM. This is the smart way to run it because it can be used to enhance the game with some great fantasy elements rather than derail it. I like it, good stuff. The art for this is amazing. The Kobold looks so happy. I can just imagine him riding around the dragon, whooping it up like a big kid. Awesome!

The current edition is BECMI, the most popular form of Basic D&D and the adventure is the classic Red Box quest to kill Bargle the evil magic user. Check it out, learn about the games roots, and enjoy the story as it unfolds.

The artist did a wonderful job with the description.

I love the artwork, and am thrilled at the prospect of this idea. Now I just need a good power card maker program so I can make the rewards for my players
