D&D News Updates

Wizards of the Coast has posted several new items over the past few days. Most notible is the release of the Barbarian class playtest. (Download here)

The barbarian draws upon the primal power source in order to quickly move around the battlefield dealing out damage while still being able to absorb lots of pain. A barbarians daily powers are called rages, which allow you to enter a rage state and have enhanced attacks and other benefits. It sounds like an amazing class and I am definately going to roll one up to to play with if possible.

In other lest exciting news, WotC has also posted this weeks mini previews. The Mezzodemon is an evil little demon that will poke you with a trident and then spew poison in your face. Yum. then we have the lumbering Cyclops Hewer, that will stare you down with an evil eye and then slice you and your friends heads off with a wide swing of its battleaxe.

And finally the worst news of all is that the D&D Insider subscription program will be starting in a matter of days, and without any cool programs available yet, this seems like a poor time to start.
