I am oldschool.... I don't plan a character to lvl20 from the get go. Anyone doing so is missing the whole point, IMO. Just roll her up, and see what happens. Nothing is written in stone, and things are bound to happen that throws your carefully planned out level planning out the window. In...

For real.... I'm not saying it should be free to use Beyond beyond the current level. However, there could be some kind of discount code if you already have purchased the dead trees. That's all. Sent from my SM-G935F using EN World mobile app

Because I am the only one in my gaming group using Beyond. The others have their heads around it and love to tinker about with NeXT in their heads, while I can't seem to get the hang of more than the basics of it. Sent from my SM-G935F using EN World mobile app

No, I don't think that way at all, mate. What I DO think is "I already paid £30 for the PHB, why should I pay another £30 to be able to use it on an online tool like Beyond?" Sent from my SM-G935F using EN World mobile app

I, for one, agrees somewhat with the OP. With thr physical books costing in the area of £30, having to pay another £30 to be able to use the same books seems a bit.... extortionate. Which is why I'll rely on other people to help me instead of buying something I will have a limited use of...

For myself, I think Main Classes should be as per 1st/2nd Ed Advanced (Fighter, Cleric, Magic-user, Thief) which could branch out into sub classes and sub-subs from there. That said, there is still too much choice, not enough optional, to the class system in Current D&D, would like more...

Oh yeah????? I have no idea how old I am, I just picked a random number between 44 and 46 somewhere..... that was the toughest question I've seen on a survey for a long time... [emoji14] Sent from my SM-G935F using EN World mobile app

I never say "that is a hit" or "that is a miss" when I am the DM. Obviously I am honest, if the player(s) hit AC4 and the NPC has AC5, I deduct the amount of hitpoints scored accordingly. However, on "narrow rolls" (within 5 points of a to-hit roll) I do say "you can feel your <weapon> connect...

Yeah, though as I don't bring neither book to work, it was a little hard to quote the exact text as you have. D&D have a very abstracted combat system, no matter which version, and so the hitpoints aren't only representing the actual life force, but is a culmination of many many things. If you...

Best explanation I have seen is in the Gygax books, aka 1st Ed. Paraphrased : Hitpoints are a combination of fatigue, lige essence, lucky hits (on you (hits you feel but doesn't do much real harm)) and general combat fitness. I'll look up the exact wording when I get home from work Sent from...

Thank you for that one. It was just a little confusing when I rolled up my very first post-2k style Thief character not to have them. I trust the DM to know what I need to roll anyways, so it is not a big problem in play. I sure got a couple of confused lools when I said "I can't find the Thief...

Overall impression after just using the free account: This takes a lot of the headache with a d20-derived system away, I "swear" to a mix&match of Classic D&D, 1st and 2nd Advanced, and have never figured out the d20 proper before. The combat section of the PHB makes me head hurt a LOT, and I...
