D&D Goes Digital



The game that inspired the MMORPG movement has finally decided to go
digital. It's been a long time coming, but Dungeons & Dragons
is almost ready to enter the digital realm in it's purest form: a true
conversion of the tabletop experience. At the New York Comic-Con,
Garrett Fuller sat down with the D&D 4th Edition developers to
see what the hub-bub was all about and received an inside look into the
game!


One of the highlights that showed up in the play
session was the stat
called Bloodied. If you lose half your hit points then you fall into
the Bloodied category. There are some players and monsters who can take
great advantage of this stat both on the bad and good side of the
fight. Also many of the skills from the paladin and cleric not only
damaged monsters, they also healed players at the same time. This type
of hybrid system really made the decisions on what to do fun. The game
has become very skill based and deciding when to use those skills is a
critical factor for players and DMs alike.
