A company trying / wanting to make money, perish the thought.

Meanwhile the wizard is sitting back laughing at the silly martials and their ability checks, waves his hand and the problem is solved. lol

The main problem with simplification is that once you go past a certain point you start losing design space, removing designers room to move in, that is the main issue with oversimplification.

We wont see a split of the Fighter into 2 separate classes, A simple class acceptable to the Society for Spellcasting Supremacy and the effort adverse player. The second with more in depth/active abilities that require more active class play and management.

Not only are the Fighting Style variable and largely underwhelming but are also underwhelming from the point of view of Fighters who are supposed to be the "Masters of weapons" but are only as good as anyone else with the same style. Hell even with weapon Masteries there are many classes with...

Considering the design path across the classes over the 8 playtests, I must say the Fighter design was extremely timid and everyone once again shared the fighter's lunch.

Realism Vs Balance. Sometimes you have to acknowledge that it is a game and design accordingly.

Trying to water down how I usually word this sort of thing. Sometimes right and ridding us of something abhorrent, and sometimes creating an issue out of nothing due to either following the bandwagon or enjoying the view from on high.

The guy just read from 1st ed and claimed that this is what some designers were talking about adding to the game. As much as lips touched grog butt cheek in earlier design, we will not see 1st ed rules ported into 5E24. The Society for Spellcasting Supremacy will never allow the 1st ed rules for...

Are we once again at the point where we need to explain that Popularity =/= Mechanically Well. A person can like the fiction of the Fighter but be unhappy with the mechanics both in themselves and in compared to other classes.

We never hear talk about if different species could use various magics or not. Nothing Like heavy or weapon size discussions for magic equivalents. It's always how to make life harder for weapon users, take something away from them or stop them from getting a new toy.

Ah Verisimilitude the favorite beat stick of the Society for Spellcasting Supremacy, no other implement of pain and suffering has hurt Martials more. The spell Power Word Verisimilitude should forever be removed from the pages of the game, thus we can better enjoy our Martials and drink deeply...

Both left and right suck when you go too far in either direction so how about we stick to discussing wealth issues in 5e and potential solutions.

The Wizard's main niche is stepping on the toes of other class niches. ;)

I remember when Lolth had about 66hp.
