If characters can't die, you are no longer playing a game, you are collaborating in story telling - which is fine if that's your goal. Otherwise, if it was my character, and you backpedaled on his death, I'd stop playing.

They lost me at Dragon Age, ug.

I read it, as "we want a D&D game, which removed WOTC from the equation."

5E is an improvement on 4e, and inferior to every other edition. Beyond that, it plays like someone's house rules for 3e and is indistinguishable from a dozen other D20 clones. It brings nothing new to the table, and is not worth purchasing, other than for collecting.

Then don't. I love AD&D clerics and I usually only prepare one or two healing spells to keep someone alive in an emergency. Most healing is done during down time. I have never in 35 years seen anyone forced to prepare healing spells.

"The Complete Compleat Enchanter"

No, Morrus specifically said "RETURNING to D&D." He has since edited his post to specify 5E. I can neither read minds nor predict the future. It's a failing of mine.

Nope. Just answering the man's question. Didn't realize I had to check with you before posting. I'll do so in the future.

I wouldn't. A believable world is more important to me than balance.

WOTC has nothing to return to. I'm still playing 1e. We play other rpgs as well, but when we play D&D, it's 1e.

Too fiddly. If I ever run 5e, I'll be using AD&D healing rules. It's simple and it works.

I never downgraded to 3.5. IMO, they fixed a couple things and broke a whole lot more. But then, it wasn't an attempt to fix anything, but rather a grab at purse strings.

My preferred option is to ban both stat increases and feats.

You'll also need to lose at will cantrips, at least any that do damage. And scale the thief and magic users hit dice back.

Training and keep/castle and soldiers to protect it.

There was a second?

The wildest claim in this thread is that CNN is a news agency.

What do you mean "was?"

My first 3e game got to level 22. The highest I ever played in 1e was about to 14-16th level.

I could never get past the stupid camera in NWN 2. I fought the camera more than I did the bad guys so I gave up on that game before getting out of the first town.
