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.

I guess 3D is the latest craze in movie theaters (though it seems gimmicky to me, just like it did in the 80s).

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.

When you get hit by a Ball Lightning with a Kicked Vines of the Vastwood, with a Noble Hierarch also on your opponent’s team, you really feel it. That Ball Lightning attacked as an 11/6 with Trample, if you’re keeping score. This is my brother’s Friday Night Magic deck.
