while i do think Martial Powers are something they should have to some degree i think what they really ought to get is a more extensive...

4e works better at high level mostly because the other editions are barely functioning at high level.

Personally, I don't think giving Martials Spells (5e), Powers (4e), or Traditions (late 3.5e/A5e) is the solution. IMHO: Martials...

4th edition was probably best designed one, hands down. Sure, it's gamist, classes feel samey (feel is operating word), they took...

The bolded bit was effing excellent. You could play a non-caster who could actually have an effect on the battlefield. You didn't have...

Yes, 4e largely resolved the issue. It failed for many other reasons.. BUT having "solved" the issue by bringing balance, it turns out a...

Was there really problems with that part specifically or was it just the stigma of 4e the designers tried to avoid showing in 5e...

Here's a question: does either version of WotC 5e actually say anywhere in the books that the game is designed around attrition, and...

But this is a design problem imo. The design requires the GM to run adventures in a non-natural way in order to prevent one class type...
