Oh please no.

I think it's one of the better designed classes in the game.

Tanks could use a lot more stickiness in 5e, so that doesn't bother me.

Nah, one of the points is to speed up off turn actions with less rolling. Static average damage is probably the way to go as well for OAs using this.

I think when my game gets up and running I'm going to try a variant. Opportunity attacks are always hits, no need to roll anything but damage. See how that works.

There were a lot of really interesting, new ideas in the playtest. I didn't like all of them (proficiency dice make the swingy d20 even worse) but they really tried to be creative and make a good game. Unfortunately most of that was scoured away by the feedback, because people don't usually...

Hey, a lot of us are American. We can just use prestidigitation to help steal guns. Way better at killing than Acid Splash.

You'd be burned as a witch or captured by the government for vivisection in about 6 hours.

Toss up between mage hand and minor illusion. I decided to be David Blaine. Mage hand would have won if the hand wasn't visible.

Interesting perspective. A) A 20 strength isn't actually super strong. Certainly not Hercules/magical demigod status. A 20 is a +5 versus the average humans at 10 +0. That's actually one of the problems of the 5e cap- you can't actually get very strong (or smart or charming)in a meaningful...

That's a very odd hill to die on.

Every time Mearls talks I think "oh that's why I don't really like 5e." So 4e has rules bloat and is unbalanced now? Pffffft.

Nope. A character dying is probably the least interesting thing that could happen to them.

Heh, fair point. I meant for the first time.

I made a character in a half hour, and a lot of that was looking up spells and how skills work. 3 hours is baffling for someone who's played modern d&d type games. Unless you're reading the rules while making the character, but then what did you expect?
