Yeah, I didn't like that too much either. I tried rationalizing with comparing it to the Force, but even still its a hard pill to swallow.

You also forget that dead bodies and skeletons spread disease and plague. Willingly keeping a bottle deadly disease walking around waiting for someone to get too close and get sick is pretty evil in itself. As far as Speak with the Dead is concerned, I thought that it only worked if the corpse...

I dont think these things slow down game play too much personally. Roll d20, get a 20 AUTOHIT! (no need to confirm either), roll damage twice (or take max damage which is pretty balanced and something you can probably expect to see in the DMG) and boom turn over. Big improvement in speed. Cover...

You punish followers like you punish children, for not following the rules, and disobeying. Its not a permanent punishment, and generally takes something pretty bad (sneaking out at night, breaking bread with demons) to cause it, but you allow them to understand what they did was wrong and teach...

Probably be in the DMG, since it was quoted as being very similar to Unearthed Arcana of 3x. Hell, I heard Thac0 is in the DMG so this wouldn't be too far fetched lol.

That seems exactly like what Divine beings do, otherwise everyone would have Divine power of some sort. Clerics are suppose to be the cream of the crop, and then Paladins are the best, strongest, and just of those guys. If gods handed out divine magic just because "sure, why not?" imagine how...

I wonder if we will get another Exalted Deeds and Vile Darkness book? I would pick it up

Paladins redeem if able, nothing saying they have to kill the BBEG. I wouldnt think all LG deities have Paladins, mainly the more protective and martial types. The Gods that normally have Paladins have them to go destroy evil and spread good, aka Crusades. They best way to stop evil in their...

I'm just sad my Bastard sword is missing....

I hope its less "Epic Level Handbook" and more "Mythic Adventures". At that point in a characters adventure I think all upgrades should be story based and less "grind" even if that grind is Dragons, Demons, and gods.

Going to wait and see whats done with feats, I really love how they were presented in the playtest material though. Being able to turn my character into an Arcane Archer with a single feat and not the whole "crossclass ultra-spec mk4 TURBO" I needed in 3.5 is AWESOME!!

Kind of hoping Paladins dont need it lol. They are built to be in the thick of things, although if they dont have concentration spells it's not a bother either.

They dont follow codes, they are who they are and as such fall in line with their deities beliefs. A Chaotic God wouldn't implement a code, its an oxymoron. Lawful Gods have codes, Chaotic Gods have guidelines, and Neutral gods kind blend the two, as in definitely don't do this, but this is OK...

Green Dragons, Ochre-Jelly, Hob-Goblins, Ogre, and Nothic has already been teased if you know where to look.

I love 5e so far and can't wait for more material. That being said I'm pretty easy to please, It's hard for me to not enjoy a game or be so disgusted with it I cant have fun.

Could be, I was just offering a suggestion. Until the PHB and some playing is done everything is really just speculation at this point. I just hope they keep my option for an Arcane Archer feat available :D

It was just an idea, but once you start adding feats, whos to say there are not other feats that allow another proficiency in a save (Iron Will, Lightning Reflexes, etc..) new abilities or spells that put casters at a disadvantage (mage hunter ability where you just have to be in melee range)...

I prefer (and will always play) my Paladins as LG. They get a lot of power, at the cost of following very strict rules on conduct. I understand its not everyone's cup o' tea though so I'm fine with it. Still not sure how a Chaotic character chooses to follow a code (even one very loosely...

Im not sure how to put a Wizard at a disadvantage although Im sure there is a way, but by giving a character an advantage you negate his disadvantage against the save and thats a simple Cleric Cantrip.

How broken when it could be easily negated?
