I hear V4 is extremely simplified and fucked. One of my friends, who occasionally plays D&D says it's not so bad in sense that you don't have to waste a whole day for creating a character and rolling all the stats and such.

Meh. I heard enough bad things, I'd rather play 3.5
See that's the problem people honestly never give 4.0 a chance and they get upset because now they cant say The long sentence "In Dragon magazine #321 It shows you how to make a flame thrower with dragon wings but you need to take the 3 feats necessary to make it and if you take a extra feat it will make the flamethrower able to shoot ice, acid and lighting damage You'll need to take that feat to make the wings fly faster and make them bigger so you'll be able to kill Tiamat in one hit and able to run out in one round before her minions come "

The only problem i can see is the magic.And the skills needed to be simplified really hide and move silently are two different skills? and second why does intelligences decided how many skills you can take im sure if i could teach a monkey how to read the cat and the hat i could teach him how to climb.


But all and all its still dnd and il play everything from 1.0-4.0

In the game I'm DMing currently one of my players is a Gelatinous Cube Sorceror. That shouldn't work but it does. It does awesomely.

Be a Human Commander or w/e that new class is that is like a fighter, but with lots of buffer spells that help out your party members. That seems like a pretty badass tank if he casted a lot of buffs on himself.

I'm going to assume you were talking to my father, since I'm a big fan of irony.

Be a fucking Tiefling Paladin. I always wanted to play one but the DM's all like "NOOO TIEFLINGS ARE EVIL DEMON CHILDREN WHO LIKE TORTURING BUGS WITH SUNLIGHT TOO MUCH TO BE A PALADIN"

I don't even know what our excuse is. I guess our rogue just has high enough diplomacy skills.

(Real reason why that worked: As DM I'm allowed to cheat a lot, especially when the players want me to. =D)

Warlord. 4e isn't a mature system in my books, but it's not bad for beginners and it's so streamlined that it's hard to go wrong--your character is going to be pretty much like everyone else no matter what you do. That has good and bad points--it's harder to screw up, but it's correspondingly harder to do anything impressive.

The old D&D dynamic is completely gone. There's no tank, glass cannon, or support characters any more. Instead it's all based around what types of combat maneuvers you want to do, whether you want to be good at handling large groups of weak enemies (wizard) or doing lots of damage to single big enemies (ranger) or moving enemies and yourself around (rogue), or buffing/debuffing (warlord). The races don't make that big of a difference any more and there's a lot lest to choose from in the feat and skill areas. Pick a race that sounds kind of cool and a class that can do the stuff that you want to do in combat.

Whatever you do end up playing, make it something completely against stereotype. Playing an elf? Be a crazed barbarian slavering for blood. If you're a half-orc, play as a quiet wizard type. Or just be totally bananas and deliberately try to kill your party.

What he said.

And if your DM doesn't oppose too much, and especially if he does, you should totally try playing an evil character. And try to backstab your party, or at least roleplay so.

Bwahahahah.
Some of my most memorable D&D experiences resulted from inter-party feuds and schemes. Usually they didn't get deadly for a character (except that one time...poor Thomas Undergallows) but conflict is the spice of the D&D soup. Just remember that evil=/= stupid.
