    That is about their timeline as well. ;)

    Yep, the 2024 wording ruined it completely. It was already powerful, now it is just plain stupid strong for 2nd level...

    No. No ducks. :P I'm a fan of Howard, but that's as far as I'll let it go.

    TSR Why would anyone want to play 1e?

    But much less fun for DMs. ;)

    Good. Nice to know some things weren't changed to make them super easy/powerful in 2024. :)

    Sigh... no, no we can't, can we? :( I just think it should be consistent either way: Whenever you leave a creature's reach, you provoke an OA, whether you leave it voluntarily or not. OR You only provoke an OA when you choose (not forced via another creature's actions) to leave a creature's...

    We have a team (albeit a very small, busy-with-life, one) working on it! :D

    Are they in 2024? In 2014 the creature is just grappled. A grappled creature isn't restrained--at least I don't think so--even in 2024. But I could be wrong as I don't have the books myself. True, but it seems any creature being moved under someone else's power would be even more subject to...

    D&D General The joys of playing a PC with low stats

    I think part of this is also what constitutues truly "low" ability. For one thing, I don't think the range of 3-20 (or 1-20) should encompass all levels of ability. I think it should be made clear it only represents what PCs have. If you think about the DCs in 5E, in the 5-pt increments, it...

    See, I find that rather backwards. If you grapple someone, and force them to move past their enemy, it seems like you would literally be "Here! I have them, hit them, hit them!" granting OAs against the target. Meanwhile, if forced to use their movement, they are still in control of where they...

    We just started looking at Daggerheart via the SRD. Oddly enough, it has many things my DM's homebrew uses, but also obviously includes a lot of stuff his doesn't! It's frustrating. Everything we look at has "this is cool, or that is great" but also "man, we would never do that this way! or...

    The question was whether the forced movement in this case (2024) triggered OA? The OP says it does, but I thought forced movement never triggered OA. We've never had the forced movement in 2014 trigger OA, as that would contitute obviously dangerous movement.

    Not thread-related, but any idea what you'll move on to next? My groups are all exploring different avenues, including homebrew material, so I'm curious if you have anything in mind?

    What about returning to 2014 rules? None of the groups I play in decided to move to 2024 because of the changes. We're pretty disappointed over all, but that's the way it is.

    It would depend greatly on the context. If I am in the middle of a town and I know I have allies or whatever nearby? Maybe. Can I get to them in time and return to be of help to my friend, or would I be more help if I stayed? Might be unreasonable. Am I in the middle of dungeon? Probably not...
