What's New in the 2008 Player Handbook

Rules of Gameplay

A "spell hold" is now a "spell freeze".

For safety reasons, we only want people calling out "hold" when there's a safety hold. Also, when you stop for a spell, it isn't a hold (where everyone drops to one knee) -- it's a freeze (where everyone freezes in place)!

Disads

Courage has changed: you can now retreat if your allies have made it to safety. You must make a reasonable (but not suicidal) effort to rescue downed allies.

We felt Courage, as previously written, was too harsh.
