    D&D 5E What if no stat increases; only feats?

    Just flat-out too many feats, IMO. I feel they are not for everyone at all, let alone for everyone all the time. Feat-flood will NOT give you that old-school feel. If you want more old-school stats, might be better just pulling most or all of the ability score upgrades (not counting the...

    D&D 5E Optimal Multiclassing

    Well, they sort of do. As Jadrax posted... Some might argue that they are getting less than they would if the spellcasting were per-class. They have certainly lost some top-end power either way in the form of higher level spells which might be analogous to extra attacks...? :)

    Are you sure you ordered a 5E screen? I haven't been able to find one, you might have ordered a 3.5 or 4E version...

    D&D 5E Background Page from PH(B)

    Not a balancing mechanic: all qualities of Backgrounds can be purchased "a la carte", as per "Customizing a background". All backgrounds are one Feature, two Skills, two tools or languages, and you can mix and match as desired.

    Out of Healing Surges - what now?

    I'm in the "suck it up" camp on this. I can't imagine it will be too tough for him to stay out of the way for a couple more encounters.

    New playtest up; interesting tidbits with Classes and Races

    This seems to be straight out of SWSE...

    More pure speculation- "The math is different"

    That's my 10th favourite idea about 4e. The rest are tied for first.

    D&D 4E New ways 4e encourages rollplaying

    That is awesome. It drives me crazy when a player submits pages and pages of stuff, and then gets miffed when the gamemaster is impatient that the player is constantly dragging in all that minutia. Like the GM actually read all that!

    D&D 4E SWSE Experiences & 4E Hunches

    I really dig that about SWSE. However, the talent stuff actually makes me wonder...why have Feats at all? It seems like they could be done away with and put into non-class talent groups. Then instead of each class getting a bonus feat from a special list, they could get a bonus talent from...

    the "truth" about classes

    I've always felt like Paladin was a bit redundant, that you should be able to have a Cleric build that felt like a Paladin, or a multiclass Cleric/Fighter. I did like the Holy Warrior as an attempt to make Paladins more faith-specific (ditto for the Unholy Warrior, also from Green Ronin). I've...

    D&D 4E Order of the Stick in 4e

    Roy's not an optimized character, though, being an Intelligence-based fighter, and it's inarguable that Roy is the leader of the crew.

    Condition Track

    :eek: I'd be fine with Saga-style condition track, but I'm a bit wary of their Defenses system (replacing both saves and AC). I'd lay money that skills are going to be as-per-SWSE.

    Condition Track

    It has been said that "Star Wars Saga Edition and Book of Nine Swords were both 'significant previews' of 4th Edition." Remains to be seen what bits, of course. :)

    Condition Track

    In Star Wars Saga Edition, you go down the Condition track when you suffer damage in excess of your Fortitude in one go. There are also special attacks that can send you farther down the track. The SWSE Condition Track is pretty standard RPG's fare: increasing penalties to your actions, rather...

    Mutants and Masterminds - limited copies available!

    I'm not certain of this, but there doesn't appear to be a PL cap on Powers - only on Save DC's and Saving Throw bonuses. So there's nothing to prevent you from buying non-offensive, non-defensive powers like Super Speed or Growth up as high as you can afford. Is this correct?

    Mutants and Masterminds - limited copies available!

    Stealing my lines again, Jeff! :p Regarding the argument: "Buy uncanny dodge and you won't lose your Defensive Roll bonus to Toughness", I'd say that it's great that I can spend more points to get the same net effect! ;) They're close enough that I'm okay with it (i.e. without house...
