    D&D 4E What's the assumed average chance for a monster to hit a PC?

    Some comments: - In 4th edition it was easy/common to got combat advantage, which got a +2 to attacks, which got you to the 65% (base hit on 10 is 55%) - Monster manual 3 did not change hit chance it stayed like this - 5E does assume for balancing having NO magical items. It only assumes...

    D&D 4E What is today the best way to start D&D 4E (paid and free)?

    Its not for me, its more in general. My problem is that the Keep on the Shadowfell starter adventure just is not that good. If you want that people get the best of 4E, then I just hoped there is something better than the Keep. A lot of later adventurers (Slaying stone, guardmore abby, or...

    D&D 4E What is today the best way to start D&D 4E (paid and free)?

    I saw this week a post about how to start 4E on substack: Which D&D 4e Books Are Right for You? And there the (reworked) first 4E adventure was recomended, because it was free. (Which in general is not considered to be good) And I was thinking to myself if there is not some other better way...

    D&D 5E Dungeoncraft Interview with Mike Mearls

    Jonathan Tweet was the lead designer of D&D 3E and not involved in 4E so what he says has absolutly no relevance either and its clear that he does like his baby better. Also the Art in 4E looks like Magic the Gathering art. As in it has the same artists and same artstyle. Again this may look...

    D&D 5E Dungeoncraft Interview with Mike Mearls

    Why do we at this point take anything which mearls said about original D&D 4E serious? He was NOT part of the original design team. He was just not there at all. He joined 9+ months later and NOT as a gamedesigner but as a tester/developer that was only later He is the most hated designer...

    Big Ideas and Concepts Pre 5E

    I am not 100% sure what you are looking for exactly but things that 5E did worse than editions before: Power scaling being all over the place. In D&D 3.5 you would double in power every 2 levels (at least that was the plan). So 1 CRX enemy could be replaced with 2 CRX-2 enemies. In 4E the...

    D&D 4E Martial Style Feat Handbook

    This guide, like most of the "optimization guide" are way too narrow minded. And just focus on white room numerical optimization often. Just as an example: Arkhoisan Fang student can be used with the Great Sword. Which is one of only 2 +3 proficency 2 handed military weapons. The other one...

    The D&D 4th edition Rennaissaince: A look into the history of the edition, its flaws and its merits

    Well if you cant imagine something, then this for me is at least partial on you. We are playing role playing games, which are about trying to imagine a different world. If there is some world which you cant imagine because it is too different to what you are used to, then you can try to...

    Can we replace human moderators with AI?

    Yes of course it is survivorship bias. Saying that exactly the users are here which Morrus wants is not realistic. Also just because 1 human does want something, does not make this the right or good thing.

    Can we replace human moderators with AI?

    Why not? If AI could be better than you, then why should you not want it? As I learned in my job "you should never be afraid to hire someone who is better than you."

    Can we replace human moderators with AI?

    You can sell this technology later to other forums. I am sure you easily find investors for this. And else ask the community to pay for the AI mods, as I already suggested. Also these AIs dont need to be able to do as much as a general AI they are specialized. They just need to close threads...
