Thought i should post this…All the offically released info.
Anyways, DSome Good Stuff will be changed, such as some races have weapon familularity(sp?), The weapons will be classed as a grade lower for prof (ie. Martial Becomes Simple, And Exotic becomes martial), Thus, You are more likly to see a Dwarf with an urgosh, or a Halfling with Their Skiprocks.
The Monk is apparently going to be changed top become more “Customizable”…cant remember where i saw it, but it will most liekly mean you can choose what abilities you get (Eg, a 20th level month, who doesnt do d20 dmg maybe?).
Dont know much about the paladin…But then again, im all for the “Paladins should be a prestige class”
Druids are apparently being completely redone. Rumours are about spontanous spell casting, and more nature type abilities.
Rangers get two different ‘paths’ Two weapon Style, and Archery Style. The rangers gain more unique abilities although the definates are not known, although it is know that their Weapon abilites are gained at second level, and that they gain another 2(or was it 3?) on the way to level 20.
Sorcs are not being looked at really…whcih makes people like me sad…
The Bard is having his bardic knowledge revamped, and makiong his perform more useful. Or so the rumour says.
Apparently Two-Weapon Fighting, and Ambidex have been pushed together into one feat, to stop people form just taking single ranger levels (Or it would be two levels, with this edition upgrade)
Oh, One last thing…They are removing the partial actions.
Ok, Enough about all that…As for the Questions about the books, They will be redoing the Players Handbook, DM’s Guide, and The Monster Manual. You can also download it form the SRD if you dont want to have to re-purchase the books.
