Not just barbarians. Way too much magic in almost every class. But that's just me.

Sorry for asking, as I am not entirely sure of your position. Are you advocating the elimination of any and all mechanical expressions of various D&D races? If not, why only ability scores bonuses and not, say, wood elves 5ft speed bonus? PS. I am getting the impression this discussion has...

Hey now! I like my savage Klingons, nefarious Romulans, and Orwellian Cardassians. :devilish: Jokes aside, these are fantasy races (species, if you will). Reducing them to humans with funny foreheads (okay, they kinda already are those! :unsure:) is doing everyone a disservice. Blatant racial...

Helldritch is onto something. I don't quite understand why ability scores are being singled out. So, no race should be mechanically stronger or less intelligent than others because of potential real-world parallels, feeding into stereotypes etc. Fine. But what about all other mechanical...

True. A lot of people who approach the game from a more casual standpoint, as opposed to fine folks here, also appreciate straightforward easy-to-play classes without all kinds of bells and whistles. Hence the popularity of champions. Likewise, berserker berserks and hits stuff with his big axe...

I love 2E -- first edition I played -- but multiclassing there was horrendously broken.

As Mr. Spock once said: "Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end". Now replace "logic" with "mathematics".

First, let me say that I know very little about art and may not be able to accurately convey my thoughts on the subject. That said, I generally prefer more realistic and less "cartoony" proportions, stances, facial expressions, etc. in fantasy art. That's why I wasn't a fan of much of 4E...

Hmmm, what's Lenin doing there, was my first thought. ;)

Yes, sadly. I should really buy a new Player's Handbook. Unfortunately, the book I got back in 2014/15 was one of those early-print-run PHs that came apart very soon because of atrocious binding. What I have today can't really be called a book anymore.

In ASoIaF there are two additional factors that are important to resurrections. The more time it passes between death and resurrection, the more physically disfigured and "deadlike" the revived person becomes. Therefore, since quite a few days passed before Catelyn was brought back, she's almost...

Well, to be honest, isn't there a somewhat loud contingent of people that has pretty much that same objection to bard: that he's too spell dependent and that his songs aren't differentiated and/or unique enough? There is some truth to that, though I'm personally very fond of 5E bards.

I am of the opinion that 5E sorcerer, as presented, has very few reasons to exist as a separate class. Make it a wizard's "school" and call it a day. Of course, in order for this to work properly and not clash with background and RP, the core wizard class would ideally have to move its choice of...

Having one for mother, I can attest that this man speaks the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Because everything is allowed when there's money involved.

If you can't get excused and your employer for whatever reason doesn't want to pay you, you'll receive a grand total of, what, cca $220 for one month of jury duty? Is the judicial system trying to starve you guys out? ;)

Now you reminded me of the crazily great (or was it just crazy?) Baldur's Gate 2 magic countering system. Spell thrust, Breach, Spellstrike and its ilk opposed by stuff like Spell Trap, Spell Shield, etc. Then you count in Magic resistance that has to be lowered separately... I remember having...

So, do jurors get paid? Are they locked away in the dungeon somewhere to avoid "contamination"? Sounds dreadful.

1981 actually!:angel:

What the hell is the deal with amazon.co.uk? DMG still hasn't been released, yet on their page stands 9 Dec as the date of release.
