One thing that I've always felt was missing from the previous editions of D&D was a more comprehensive step by step method for creating new monsters and modifying ones already present. Of course I'm only familiar with the system up to 3.5 and in that they did a good job with monster templates...

I'd say Tarquin was wanting a fight with his good son and was surprised he wasn't doing anything. Sent from tapatalk

In Hero system this could be done a few ways. The simplest would be a kind of middle reflection. Instead of you just bouncing it back you grab out and stab. All special effect. Sent from tapatalk

Totally buying this when it comes out.

I don't think the new edition is going to dislodge those players who already have a version they like and won't play other editions. No version will make them switch over to it except a reprint of their system. What D&DN needs to focus on is the players who have more flexibility in their...

I think WOTC should continue with the path they're on. Make a game you can use to emulate any previous D&D play style. Make it a game that doesn't just do D&D esqu games but any type any archaic and fantasy game. They should also reopen the availability of the older editions in exclusively pdf...

I'm going to have to agree with some of the others in the class, theme, and background method. This allows you to really create The type of Ranger you want rather than have a class that tries to do it all. I think its a good method for all the classes that where like another class. Paladins...

I say make it deity or philosophy based with general archetypical examples in the core. Sent from tapatalk

If Monte Cook is confident that the designers are going to make a fun game then I'm going to remain optimistic. Maybe a bit more cautious but still optimistic.

No assumption that you should be playing RAW. I remember old D&D and AD&D games i have played being very open to GM house rules and flavoring. I think a lot of that mindset started to change in 2nd ed but im sure some played it straight with the others too.

My favorite edition will always be a heavily house ruled 1st edition with 3rd edition coming in second place and 2nd edition coming in 3rd. I didn't buy into 4th not because it was a bad system but because it didn't have the flavor I prefer. I do have to say that is actually a very good game...

I always liked the Rules Cyclopedia version of alignments especial their application to spells. Evil meant a person was out to harm you and good meant they where going to help you. So detect evil detected if a person meant you ill will. I always thought it was more elegant that the 9 alignment...

Trying to explain superhero physics is usually a dead end activity. Sorta like trying to figure out the physics behind magic spells. It's all fantasy so it's best just to thrower on the red blanket and run with it. Sent from tapatalk

Generally the more rules you put into a game the more things you have that can can get overlooked or would interact in strange ways. I couldn't assume that play testers would be even be able to touch all the rules of a moderately complex game like D&D. That and final editing can mess certain...

I've read 4E but haven't played it yet. But the idea of separation of game effect from the power description is nothing new to me. I've played a lot of Hero System and the various powers and abilities have this format. You have a description of what it looks like and what it does and then a...

well in D&D ac is both your ability to dodge hits but also the ability of your armor to protect you from them. since combat rounds are loose periods of time using a "fill in the detail" format these scenarios could mechanically be that he was hit bit not significantly enough to bother with hit...

you should probably include responses for people who do not have a game or group. A question about genre would also be good, it would probably need to be open ended like the one about why you play rpg's. The modern time period could cover things like cops, spies, and superheroes while dark...

I had a copy of Gods, Demi-gods, and Heroes that got lost somewhere during a move. Still have my other brown books but I always notice it's missing when i pull them out.
