Thank you for your response Charlaquin. While I appreciate the correspondence, I must confess I disagree with you here on several ponts. Please forgive my poor editing as that is not my strong suit but I will attempt to address my disagreements with your responses where applicable point by...

Is WOTC afraid of women? The marilith looks terrible and unfeminine, the dryad is a man now. We must have male Medusa just because… Why not be super conservative Wizards and just remove the female gender from every design and exclusively feature male characters or sexless characters if male...

How nice of you to be able to read my mind. You must be a psionicist. Sorry bro but I don’t need to conform to every new D&D class, subclass, spell, magic item, etc that comes out just because you bought it. Psychic damage was pretty rare in 2924 so many monster’s didn’t have resistances to it...

Oh so you only complain when it’s a nerf to the class that you like? Gotcha. Yeah your argument ms holds as much water as a leaking cup and I lend as much credence to your concerns also.

Yep, great that WOTC broke their own balance rules. My Soul Knife player wasn’t laughing when many monsters curiously acquired psychic resistance. 😂😂😂

Guess so Stormonu 😂😂😂

I think those options are garbage also. I am not ok with them because they are spellcaster powers. They need to rethink how they are affecting barbarian dr, the heavy armor dr feat and spells like stone skin. Force was the rarest of damage powers because it cut through almost anything. It should...

Wow, nice try at that straw man! I can cast magic missile as a 5th level spell that will do average damage of 13 points vs flurry average damage of 42 if all my attacks hit. If only half of my flurries hit my damage drops to 17. 3rd level spells is 3/day at six level vs 18 disciple points used...

Thank you. That is a well thought out and reasonable post. Many could learn from your example. 👍

Apparently we are because you bring martials into it. I comment on your post and you complain. Typical martials must have it all posts.

Easy dude. Can I flurry a magic missile spell five times? Are all flurry attacks automatically blocked by a simple first level spell like shield? Talk about goal posts, you are off the field.

Oh please. Having a strength is different than completely negating an ability. There is no 1rst level spell that is an auto win button that cannot be countered at all. If spell casters were so overpowered then no one would play a martial. D&D is NOT a pvp game. That being said no power should...

Yes, unfortunately they are. The Vecna adventure is worse as it’s a level after every encounter. You never get to play with your toys anymore. The designers do NOT know how to run adventures anymore. It’s a bunch of exposition and background the a fight or two the in to the next chapter which is...

Then you play in different games than me. Strength or Intelligence are often the default dumps for monks in my groups as they have little to offer and most strength checks are done by a dex check equivalent such as acrobatics for athletics checks. The whole point of finesse weapons is to get...

Yeah dude, if you dump stat strength you are a weakling. Does not matter if you are a monk or a wizard. You are still wearing robes :D

That is objectively not true since there are 2nd edition lines that have not been reprinted such as Dark Sun & Birthright, Mystara.

Better than generic monsters that get hacked down and have lost the flavor they had for 5 editions. They also would suffer from trolls u that half damage from a coup de grace won’t be fatal. Silver or magic weapons or spells would be required to finish them off.

I find this odd as a criticism of 2nd edition was too many campaign settings that split the player base.

lycanthropes should have half damage from normal weapons but require defeat to be administered from a silver weapon, magic weapon or magic. Perhaps give them fast healing 10 that is reduced by spells, magic or silver weapons.

The reason you don't engage with goblins and orcs from a geopolitical standpoint is simple. Their societies do not function at the same level. They never seem to rise above the hunter/gatherer stage in most D&D settings. I have seen the orcs of Thar and a mention of Throtyl in Dragon Lance but...
