Very cool.

After reading some more of this thread, I do see that Goodman will be offering free PDF updates as time goes on, which is a plus. Still I believe I will wait until the complete rules are out, and WotC decides how they are going to handle the licensing. Then if the good folks at Necromancer and...

My thought exactly, while Goodman and Necromancer were two of my favorite 3E, 3rd party publishers I really don't care for how they are going about this, plus since they don't have the actual rules I don't have much faith in them producing a good product that is compatible with 5th Edition...

Kind of disappointed, nothing new in the preview, other than the art(which I do like),

All of them.

Thanks for the info.

I like it (much more to my tastes than what I have seen in 3E, 4E or Pathfinder)

I checked that, but in the playtest a swift spell could be part of another action, but that other action could not be another spell. So you could cast a swift spell, move and attack, but not cast a swift spell, move and cast another spell.(I thought in the video the DM gave her the option of...

This confused me (very new to 5E, I downloaded all the playtest packets but only glanced over them). From what I read you can move and take an action (pretty standard). Casting a spell (or attacking, ect) is an action. So how was casting healing word not an action? (I heard it was a "bonus"...

Is the spectator, a floating orb like monster similar to(but much weaker than) a beholder, from L1 The Secret of Bone Hill?

Twig Blights and Gricks, two of my favorite monsters from 3E.

True, seems a bit much to me as well. Another thought was to drop the bonus damage all together, and if two or more hobgoblins(or an ally with martial advantage) attack a single target, they all attack with advantage. Again, I'm not changing anything until I actually run some games and see all...

I was discussing this ability with my son, since he comes from the newer editions, I wanted to get his input on the martial advantage ability. I was surprised that even he thought it was a bit much and offered that perhaps it should only work when the hobgoblin's ally also has the Martial...

Good point, my example was in the extreme.

After some more thought, I think I am firmly in the camp of I don't like this ability, as it stands now. (However I still intend to run everything btb for a while before making any house rules.) I don't see how it can be argued it is a "formation" tactic, no formation is required whatsoever...
