    D&D General 'One D&D' Takes 5E to New & Digital Places

    They've used the word 'pillars' for two different things?

    True.

    Yeah, we know. You like Level Up. You've said that plenty of times. We haven't forgotten. ;)

    D&D General 'One D&D' Takes 5E to New & Digital Places

    Last I checked, we've had D&D as a video game for over 30 years now in some form or fashion. This isn't anything new. ;)

    I know, right? Not like the good old days of 2014 when your party could have a Goliath with a 15 STR and a Halfling also with a 15 STR. Thank goodness the rules made sure to really differentiate those body types! ;)

    The name 'Ardling' doesn't really bother me, because it's about time the Guardinals got re-introduced into the game. They're the one Great Wheel extraplanar alignment-based creature that's never really been highlighted since like 2E. All the other ones have shown up in the game much more...

    Heh heh... I'm not going to hold me breath waiting for the community to all come together and decide as a cohesive group whether this is considered a "new edition".

    Which would probably been seen as a good nerf to the paladin, but a bad one to the rogue.

    At least tell me you got that on your license plate? ;)

    Heh heh.. or they can just not use the new '20-always-succeeds' rule in their game if that matters that much to them. I mean if anyone thinks that this game is going to be exactly what they want across the board and their days of houseruling D&D is over... I hate to break it to them...

    Now that I think about it... the only problem with 'Fred' is that a couple of our more angsty board members will see that and presume it stands for Forgotten Realms Edition... and get even more bent out of shape believing Faerun is the default setting for the game. ;)

    If you have a locked door you don't want the PCs to get through... don't set a DC at all and just say it can't be opened. Besides, it's a team game. What difference does it make if the Fighter opens it or the Rogue with Expertise in Thieve's Tools opens it?

    6E, 5.5E, 5E+, 1D&D... does any of those terms actually matter? The game's the game. Call it the 'Fred Edition' for that matter if you want.

    One thing that might be an interesting twist... if by some chance the community tells them they do not want monsters to lose the ability to critical hit... would be for PCs to be able to use their Inspiration to cancel a crit made by a monster. If Inspiration dice are now meant to be gained...
