I happened to give it a look yesterday. Really nothing much to see. In about 3 months when the release is looking a bit closer, I'd hope there be interesting stuff present.

Aye, still not enough information, but they do show 4 of the new creatures which look good by the way. They do need more information though. I expect they'll do like they did with sou and add a new spell and creature every week.

I'm really tired of seeing spells that should be cleric only spells also available to mages.. Undeath to Death is a prime example.. :evil:

Youre kidding me?? What about all the spells that should be mage only that are available to clerics?!!

As I said in another thread we need to stop thinking old rules and move with the times.

Which spells are there that are available to clerics that should be mage only spells? Exclude spells gained by domains as even in the PnP rules those are often mage spells.

I can not think of any off the top of my head to be frank.

Actualy, clerics get the shaft on the spell list. NWN is missing two of the most important buffs a cleric gets. Both easy to implement, and I for one am quite offended that such basic, bread and butter type, spells were left out.

Magic vestment: +1-5AC to shield or armor bonus
Greater magic weapon: +1-5 to hit and damage (mage spell too)

The only thing that mages are really missing is teleport, and the ability to become a lich. Teleport has always been very hard for a game to implement. Becomeing a lich could happen still, with DM intervention. And that is something a mage should RP out anyway.

When are they going to implement fatigue after raging?

Actually the 3.5 changes to the barbarian are very nice hopefully they will sort of make it into HotU. Barbarians got a solid boost in 3.5.

Some Weirdo at Bioware wrote:Description
A construct of such power that iron golems will regularly gather around them at parties and act all giddy. This golem is fashioned first from iron and then the discerning magic-user polymorphs the iron into the near-indestructible metal mithral which is definitely the champagne of make-believe medieval metals much like pork is the champagne of meats. These golems are prohibitively expensive to create but do come with a night light for reading and built-in enemy tenderizers.
