Player’s Handbook 3 introduces the psionic power source, with several new psionic classes (along with one divine and one primal class). I’ll be reviewing the new classes one at a time over the next week or so. To start things off, we’ve got a good exemplar of the new psionics system — the Ardent.

If your Fourth Edition character is a fighter, ranger, warlord or rogue, you’ll find plenty of new options, variant builds and an endless supply of Paragon Paths in Martial Power 2. If you’re not? I’m sure Arcane Power 2 will be along any week now.

Every adventurer journeys to the Underdark at some point in her career. It’s a rite of passage. Now your 4E characters can make the trip. Just don’t go to any of the silly places.

Ryk Perry digs into the economic realities of life as a knight in Medieval Europe, and what it means for your newly landed PC. It ain’t all ale and princesses, that’s for sure.

The first edition of the Draconomicon gave us all the inside info on chromatic dragons for D&D fourth edition. What about the good guys? The latest Draconomicon fleshes out the gold, silver, brass, bronze, copper, orium, iron, steel, mercury and other metallic dragons. Beware: they’re not as noble as you might remember them.

Fourth Edition D&D is a cool system, and combat is usually a lot of fun (and more interactive and interesting than 3rd edition combat), but it has one flaw: it sometimes takes forever.
