Well I'm not beating the allegations. I met my wife during a D&D game.

"He really isn't going to give up, is he?" Copper quips about the persistent pursuer. When the cultist lays flat to avoid incoming arrows, he grins as he leaps into action. Jumping across the gap from shore to shore he draws his twin scimitars and furiously pounces upon the unfortunate elf...

Disagree about what? I honestly believe you stopped reading that sentence halfway through. Liking monster stat blocks because you think they are more fun or whatever is one thing, you can't really "disagree" with templates being easier to future proof.

Do you remember how they backtracked hard on changing wildshape into an ability that used templates, despite such a design being inherently better for futureproofing both the druid class and beast type monsters as a whole? The experimental phase is long past us, we are on the steady course...

No, the opportunity to do something different happened in 2015. And 2016, and 2017. The player base kept rejecting psionics "being different." There is no reason for them to consider going down that road again.

Copper takes his, shot, but it goes wide in the dark. He bites down on his tongue before swearing out loud. The enemy knows he is around, but maybe not exactly where yet. A shot and a miss! A shot in the dark: 1D20+6 = [3]+6 = 9 1D6+4 = [5]+4 = 9

The Transformers One book does something I wish more publishers were able to do: Establish a lower power campaign option. All too often splatbooks fall into the trap of power creep, and it's nice to see the trend bucked every once in a while.

That might be a contributing factor, but I think it's mostly my fault for trying to post while cooling down from a bit of heat exhaustion earlier today. I admit I was scanning for the team Infiltrate tags and not paying deep attention to what else was going on at the moment. Also: Remember to...

Oh right, sorry, I missed that post.

"Sure thing, lets get this thakel-veil!" Copper agrees. "And, uh, I suppose now is as good a time as ever to ask about our mission. Seeing as how we basically botched it." Copper reasons with just a bit of hesitation. "You wouldn't happen to know anything about a statue these cultists have...

I basically forgot what we were looking for, lol. Wasn't it some kind of statue?

"Then lets get out of here!" Copper says as he travels north to the light. Moving in that general direction, but keeping the rope tied if possible, we might need it again

Part of what makes a normal familiar so good is the fact they are inconspicuous disposable spy drones that can fit and/or fly into areas that your normal PCs cant enter. Skeletons and Zombies are not quite inconspicuous, are the same size as a PC, and most notably cant fly. I'm not saying there...

I'm going to be real here. I don't see this as a bad thing. More things should be niche.

Copper hastily ties one end of his rope to himself and hands the other end to Lorrent. "Hold this." The goliath makes a graceful leap across the water, and calls out to Terrin. "There is a rope in the water, if you can grab it we can pull you in!" Athletics : 1D20+6 = [18]+6 = 24 Jumping! The...
