I don't need the game to make a statement, and I especially don't need it to make the statement that things I like about the game are actually bad. I just want it to have cool stuff.

I don't know, I wish the books took more risks and actually did say something.

I'm not sure on the take of the Gods, but at least it gets to be different.

I disagree that it's a proof, but it is a fine take on a different model.

It is a fine take, I just don't care to see it pushed so hard by its fans to the detriment of other takes. Why does there have to be a value judgement attached to lore? Is there a reason we can't just like different stories on their own merit?

People look for their own 'best' solutions I guess.

The way I read it, yes. Dazed affects what you can do on your turn, and legendary/lair actions happen outside your turn.

That's how I read it also.

Kobold Press has generic constructs

Best for them. There's no need to tear down the stories other people like in favor of what you like. The entire issue with all the Dragonlance lore discussion, to my mind, is that some people don't like the story of Dragonlance and, rather than find or create a story they do like, are insisting on forcing change to the existing one. In what way is that ok? I really don't get it.

I know, I just didn't want to say that part.

Maybe somebody will start a new thread where we can actually discuss the new packet.

I thought this was the eberron thread at one point...... Good luck getting this group, especially one person, on topic.

So, uh, that means you gonna take 5e Ravenloft on its own merit?
