Wow, it's been years but my account is still good here. Voted, thanks!

That last part is very important for chapter 6. If you try to run that entire castle as is, you will drive yourself nuts.

He's still mad he can't replace the rest of the party entirely.

Indeed! If I wanted to fight thru almost 2000 Feats, I'd play Pathfinder. There is a reason my #1 game is Savage Worlds, rules light, and this edition of D&D feels the most like that.

And that's why I quit public play of D&D and Magic.

Aka, "If it bleeds I can kill it."

If you allow flanking to grant advantage, you better require a Disengage to move around in threatened squares, or it goes from a combat to a square dance for flanking advantage. It also makes the traits of Kobolds and Hobgoblins kinda redundant. If that's the way it works, I'd keep the Help...

I personally love the basic human - while we've seen a lot of good debate on the _numbers_ side of it, we are not seeing as much on the _story_ side of it. Human's are one of the few races (the other one being half-elf) that gets to pick a language. Elves and Dwarves all hate Orcs, and...

I hope so as well, but that will depend on what Hasbro will let them do. Hasbro is probably letting them post PDFs of older editions because it is out of print, it's income on non-production lines. 5e is still a production line, and Hasbro will want WotC to maximize profits. Hopefully the...

Yes, and I still don't see the 5e PHB, or the Basic Rules with a PoD option. Kinda my point.

We're not getting PDFs because Hasbro. Hasbro is a huge company that still has 90% of it's products in toys and games that are not entirely book based. It's because the average players of Hasbro games (Monopoly, Mouse Trap, Clue, etc) and toys (Nerf, Transformers, etc) can not scan and upload...

Also, all things being equal, some weapons ARE better. Just a fact. Bringing a dagger to a fight with a man in full plate with a shield and longsword, unless you are just that much better you are going to be at a disadvantage, and probably dead.

When did feat taxes ever leave?

Honestly, for me a big part is less the rules (I'm used to learning new ones every edition) and more the presentation. The three books sacred cow needs to die. If 5th is not a one book game, I'll be passing in favor of all the stuff I already own. I will still be sad because D&D was the first...

{Reposted from other thread} I saw this movie last night on SyFy. It was glorious in how terrible it was. First off, during the knighting ceremony (err, Paladin... Knight is a fighter, no gods required) you could see the looks of the guys faces every tiime they called out to Pelor. It was the...
