GameBanshee Feature: Pool of Radiance Preview

With the game being only two months away from release, I’ve written up a preview of the upcoming Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor. To go along with the preview, I’ve also added over a dozen brand new screenshots from the most recent build of the game. Here’s a snippet:

As characters advance, they will acquire skills and feats, which are both new to D&D with the 3rd edition rules. Skills allow a character to do things like search for hidden doors and traps, or bandage a wounded party member. Obviously, some skills will be easier for certain character classes, but every class is at least somewhat proficient with most of them. Feats offer some sort of powerful advantage to the character, and are specific to each class. Fighters, for instance, gain a feat called “Cleave” which allows them to follow through on a powerful swing to attack more than one adjacent opponent in a single combat turn. Sorcerers, on the other hand, gain feats like “Toughness”, which grants an additional three hit points to help them endure the many battles in the game.
