For IcV2? No. It's still the same interview with a large array of retailers. It's big box store reporting that changed, not game stores reporting to IcV2.

I don't understand why people don't trust the IcV2 data, which they had trusted for 25 years. Is it just because they don't like the results?

At least Stoneskin is on the Titan spell list. That should help with survivability.

Seems Barbarian 1 does almost as well and offers more benefits. Unarmored Defense is 10+Dex mod (Wis mod) + Con mod. Technically you can also use a shield with this. And you'd get 2 Weapon Masteries, Rage, and highest hid die in the game. And it sort of fits a Titan.

Well it was definitely a named thing in Doom 2 from 1994, and then in Diablo 1 in 1997.

Tried it out. Made a Goliath Barbarian with Soldier background. Advanced it to 6th level. Turned out reasonably decent. That PC should do fine in a game.

Speaking of which, nets are really good in this edition. On a PC with multiple attacks, giving one attack up for a net can be really useful.

Most people saying 6e is on the way source back to hearing that rumor from TheRPGPundit saying he has a source he believes who told him that. Usually if you look, you can find them either on his message board or interacting with him directly on social media about this topic. He's the source for...

We know they changed the classifications of their products from Books (which have many objective and public sales metrics published) to Toys and Games (which have almost no objective and public sales metrics published.) We know that breaks the sales tracking when comparing to prior editions, all...

The source for "6e" is TheRPGPundit, who is a consistently not reliable source, particularly about modern D&D.

The individual quoted didn't. Which is fine, but he was really vehement about it. I get it, we all have our preferences.

Told you it was the common parlance :)

I'd say more than half of the people here were calling it that within a month of release. I hardly think we're influencers here. Well, Morrus is perhaps, but not the rest of us. And yes, it's the common parlance now. Pretty much anywhere people discuss the edition these days, the overwhelming...
