    D&D General The 3.5 Binder was a really cool class

    From reading it, it was very cool and flavorful, but the mechanics did not seem to create a coherent D&D character role niche and did not seem to be designed to make a useful or powerful set of powers. You had huge flexibility day to day in setting your powers for the day, but they each seemed...

    D&D General Hypothetical: D&D without ability scores (or bonuses)

    Eh, Sort of. 5e 14 says a DM can call for rolls or not, here is the system for calling for rolls including a difficulty chart. You can know if a check is called for how good your PC is compared to your buddy's PC from the stats on your sheet. If there is a check it gives a common framework and...

    Dungeon Crawl Classics What is cool to you from a player perspective?

    You seem to be under the misapprehension that because I do not like an element of a piece of fiction and I am critical of that element that I don't like the fiction as a whole. I really like Firefly, Deadlands, Wheel of Time, etc. though I am not a fan of the elements of them that romanticizes...

    D&D General Hypothetical: D&D without ability scores (or bonuses)

    Non weapon proficiencies were in the 2e PH and part of a whole chapter on proficiencies and had done out ability based mechanics for a lot of them (some were like feats in giving non ability based stuff). They were, however, explicitly an optional 2e system and not the only one. A lot of options...

    D&D General Hypothetical: D&D without ability scores (or bonuses)

    1e didn't have that as a tradition, it had a bunch of one off resolutions, often leaving it to the DM to ad hoc a resolution. The mechanisms that were there were sometimes based on ability scores, sometimes based on race or class or levels or just flat rolls, possibly modified by abilities or...

    D&D General Hypothetical: D&D without ability scores (or bonuses)

    It would work, I would play. Make a lot of stuff class and background based for bonuses on checks. Could give a small bonus (replacing a stat bonus) for the whole class list of skills then add proficiency for chosen skills.

    D&D General Does anyone know which products had Elmore's Dragon Slayers, and Proud Of It! art?

    I like it. It is very in action with the guy riding out to the attack, sword drawn and ready to swing and he is in a decent setting, not just a figure cut out. The biggest downside to me is the helmet wings? The closer the inspection the less they work for me. From a distance they are fine...
