Did anyone watch the video podcast the Wotc put out? They play five or six rounds of 4e and I was a bit conflicted.
As a player it looked like fun to play.
As a GM I don't know if I liked what I saw. There was a lot of contingencies and triggers to keep track of. The warlock looked extremely over powered (virtually the only PC that had an effect) and a lot of things to keep track of, curses, marked creatures, lots of special abilities and spell durations. I do realize that this was equivalent to a CR 10 encounter but I didn't like the make an attack, make a minor action, make a move action which triggers another attack........ options that PC's had. It seemed like the PC's could make three attacks to the monsters every one. The warlock would do roughly 20+ damage to every monster and the minotaur about 7-18 damage, seemed a little unbalanced. The only reason I think the PC's lost the encounter was because one of the four was the only one doing any damage.
Seemed like a lot to keep track of and a little unbalanced. What did anyone else think?
Take a look at the Myth Busted thread (I don't do links) which is mostly about the video podcast for some people's opinions.
