Rule-of-Three: 06/20/2011
R&D Staff



1 I was wondering what happened to support for the Eberron setting in 4E?

We’re actually running a monthly column in Dungeon by Eberron creator Keith Baker. Each month, Keith will provide more information on the setting. Look for Eye on Eberron, offering "Zarash’ak, the City of Stilts," to be published this month.

2 When you issue rules updates to fix things in the game, what exactly does that mean? If a class can’t fill its role, would you fix that through rules updates?

As part of our rules update process, we look at each book in turn to see where rules need clarification or fixes. In the case of something like a class falling short of its role, we have to walk a fine line between re-developing the class and fixing obviously broken abilities or powers that include errors. We’re more likely to do new design to fix any gaps. For instance, in looking at playtest feedback on the warlock, we might create new design to fill holes people have identified rather than revise the PH material if changing it alters it too much or requires development.

3 Hey, are you guys planning on doing another adventure path, like Scales of War, in the near future?

Right now we're looking at a few adventure arcs that are shorter in length but more focused in design. Since subscribers have access to all of the back issues, we’re going to rely on Scales of War and the printed adventure series that begins with Keep on the Shadowfell to serve as our 1st to 20th level campaigns. However, that does not mean that future adventure paths are off the table.
