    D&D 5E Advanced D&D or "what to minimally fix in 5E?"

    Advantage/Disadvantage is a TERRIBLE mechanic. It distills EVERYThing to the same borked mechanic. It gives no reason for the party to work together to find multiple synergies.

    WotC WotC can, and probably should support multiple editions of D&D.

    Every time WotC puts out a new DnD version they fragment their audience. We tried 4e and 5e and we liked 3.5 better, so we went back to 3.5. We'll never buy any 5e books, but if they put out more 3.5 content, we would buy it all.

    [Help Plz] Do grapple checks include penalties/bonuses from defenseive fighting, etc?

    Since the damage applied in a grapple can be done from a weapon/natural weapon; and also the damage can be done with a Monk’s unarmed strike, ALL of which can be Enhanced.

    Craven feat: overpowered?

    I house ruled Craven to allow +1 damage per Rogue Level, not Character Level. Any Feats or Class/Prestige class features that stack with Rogue will also stack with Craven.

    D&D 5th Edition Basic Rules

    1 out of 5 rating for D&D 5th Edition Basic Rules I really hate the advantage/disadvantage mechanic. D&D was always a games where you had to use your brain. Now it's not. I guess for the generation of "All Children Left Behind" maybe that is what's needed.
