It's your word against plenty of people who have broken down how bad 2014 Monks are, especially in tier 3 and 4. If I hadn't played a...

Deekin reacted to Lanefan's post in the thread D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting. with Like.
Modern D&D only has death as a hard-loss condition. TSR-era D&D offered a host of other options. :) Level drain was a good one: a loss...

Another self-defeating part of the game is... combat! There's so many options and so little restrictions in combat that it's...
