Not explicitly while they are in UA, but when they become oficial it doesn't change. I mean, they include a text, but the abilities are not linked between them. It seems just a bunch of mechanics not glued with a layer of lore explaining how the character developed these abilities in a way that...

At this point I just don't expect much of WotC. All this subclasses seem just a bunch of abilities with few or no context. I do prefer prestige classes because they seem more organic but subclasses are an 'ok' mechanic. The problem is that since some years ago they are no more tied around a...

Made me remember Dex mods in Ad&d 2e where 7-14 Dex had no modifier difference, so players tried to keep it 7 unless they needed a bonus or were concerned about Dex skills.

At some point they decided to release this 2024 version instead of a new edition, so maybe it would be interesting to compare the current increase in sales with the potential increase in sales of a new edition. Since it would be an estimate, the increase in sales when 5e2014 came out would be a...

So if I want to do meaningful things without being overshadowed I can't roleplay a martial, I have to choose a caster? Nice game design.

Maybe if the game wasn't so broken in high levels, there would be more people playing it. Previous edition have 30 levels and I had less problems DMing high levels back there than now. My players also enjoyed more. Epic levels were a different game, you could do a lot, but the goals and...

No it is not. It was errata'ed because it was somewhat wrong and should not be solved by the DM. DM has a lot to think during the game, if something should be resolved by the DM then it should just not be written in the book in a way that causes this kind of problem.

As I remember, it was fixed just once or twice, but anyway, it is better (imo) than the current 5e version, which by the way should've learned from previous mistakes (but didn't!).

Why not use/adapt the 4e stealth rules? Don't remember having a problem with them.

D&D roughly supports the combat-centered playstyle. There are only nuances through editions, like 4e being more strategic, but nothing big.

Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting (3e). 23+ years in use.

Saw 2 good methods but can't find anywhere now. It was something like this: - First: Roll 6d6, write it down. For each number x rolled, calculate 7-x. Now you have 12 numbers. For each ability, pick 2 numbers and add 5. Range 7-17 (easy to change), somewhat random, the sum of the values is the...

Allow any CON/STR save to use either. Allow any INT/DEX save to use either. Allow any WIS/CHA save to use either.

You make it seems like abandon the game is the only solution. It should be the last resort. We can discuss here what is making someone unhappy and come out with a different solution. Maybe the unhappiness comes from a misinterpretation of a rule and a clarification can solve the problem, or a...
