I appreciate the struggle with monks. I've had the same struggle, but on two fronts. I disliked the implied role playing aspect for the setting, which appears to be the OPs primary complaint. And then I also disliked the mechanical rules behind the monk in 5e 2014. So between the two, I just...

Oh so you actually adore them!

Ah, I found it in Dragon Magazine #106. Briefly, they seem to be a Paladin/Rogue mix with a focus on lawful evil. They are a partial caster and can use Thief skills and basically half level, and they assassinate. THE ILLRIGGER Lawful Evil, with oaths to not be chaotic. Often devil worshippers...

In 1978 or 1979 (I am unsure) I played Bintler the halfling thief, with some inspiration from Bilbo Baggins with some minor alterations (such as he loved spicy foods, not tobacco). I do still revive Bintler every once in a while. I currently play Henry the Halfling Rogue. Henry has some...

Huh. I'd be interested to hear about that prior class.

No just saying we've had D&D slots for a long time

Yes, and? Again, whatever point you're trying to make isn't clear. All I said was there was an older D&D slot machine on casino floors. Many in fact. That's correct. What does it have to do with what you're trying to say?

Yes. And? It's a D&D licensed slot machine on a casino floor.

Knave at least reminds me of the old Jester class.

But given the changes, how would we know it still does any of those things? Sorry back at you. I had engaged earlier with a different post of yours in this thread suggesting a Barbarian, with reasons, and you didn't respond. I thought my next engagement would be briefer since maybe I had posted...

I played one in Las Vegas and posted about it here, probably a 15 years ago? One of these I posted in this thread is 2009. Most of the videos point up at some point to show the top of the machine. You can see the casino floor in the background in some of these. Here is a clear example from 8...

I think this is the third iteration of a D&D slot machine. The first two were pre-5e. I think the first one was late-TSR era? Could have been 3e era. Unsure.

It's slot machines. Casinos police them ruthlessly. The moment by 13 year old kid steps on the floor some security guy is waiving her back. I don't think it's going to be an issue. This also isn't the first D&D slot machine, just the latest. Many years ago I posted here about one I found in...

Yes for me it began and ended with this. That name. I couldn't even feel right approaching my DM with that name. It SCREAMS "I am a weird third party product of some dude's house ruled game." There are so many names which are the same as something from the history of D&D or similar-enough to it...

It's a new game and new rules for that feat. Not obvious to most readers. Most of us have not memorized the changes. No reason to be rude about it.

Realistically most pinball machines make $300 a month for the first couple months that they're new to a location and then drop off over time to the point they're making $80 a month by the end of the first year, which is why they are rotated every other month.

Defensive Duelist costs a feat spot and your reaction every turn. A very high cost. Might be worth it but there is a lot of competition for both.

If it can generate $20 a day, it will pay for itself in a year. A good investment for some game stores and retro cafes.

I'd go Barbarian, Berserker or Zealot. The extra damage will make up for the single handed weapon. Probably Zealot. as the self-healing will come in handy as will the save benefit. Goliath likely makes the most sense, though Gnome can give you either advantage or proficiency in every save I believe.

I second Ghostwalk. Good book. Rules easily ported.
