    D&D General The "Ease of Long Rests" as a metric for describing campaigns / DM styles?

    why bother to play any caster except warlock this way? that could be 15 to 1 ratio of Short vs Long rests.

    D&D General What would you do? (Example from my game)

    this can happen, and can be a good plot twist, but still a 5th level player is trapped in boot camp grunt gear. I would as a heavy armor user expect to have a full plate by 3rd or 4th level. Knight is a CR3 opponent and has a plate armor to loot.

    this IS the only option that would be viable, why +1 chainmail exists. +1 splint mail is just a full plate and extra bag of 2700GP extra properties could be nice, but then, you could give those properties to fullplate. in the end this is a 5E problem of over-simplifying armors that came from...

    D&D General [+] For (hypothetical) 6e: Which arcane caster class should be the "simple" one?

    this is not a complexity problem, this is "I cant be bothered to read half a page and understand" problem. no amount of simplicity will help those players. maybe throwing d20s at them every time that they forget EB could help....

    that is great. +X only items are boring as hell. but still, the new rules about small species and Heavy weapons, what is the point of having shortbow over longbow? you do not have 13dex? you dont need any bow.

    D&D General [+] For (hypothetical) 6e: Which arcane caster class should be the "simple" one?

    that is mostly for flavor. later, players may learn to exploit it. it's very simple. ranged option: single targets or clustered targets close range: 1 melee, multiple flaking melee or clustered close opponents.

    how is it complex? you have 5 different attacks that work pretty much the same. just flexibility towards targets.

    Elementalist: elemental ray. range 150ft, ranged spell attack damage 1d8/2 levels, round up. Pick damage type from Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, Poison, Thunder elemental burst range 150ft, 10ft AoE, dex save damage 1d6/2 levels, round up. Pick damage type from Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning...

    D&D General What would you do? (Example from my game)

    off topic; maybe this is a munchkin talking out of me right now, but I always wondered, why +1 chainmail exists? maybe as custom order from a weakling noble that is too frail to wear a full plate? why would someone bother to enchant piece of sh## boot camp grunt armor that gets replaced...

    use druids spell slot to heal who needs most healing(people at 1Hp) and make a break for it. Bunker somewhere in the wilds and then re scout the area before continuing.

    What kinds of games do you like, and why?

    OK... how do you play TI twice in one day? I mean, we did had one 4player game that was over in 4hrs, but that is once in like 50 or so games...
