    Playtest Updates

    And even better, they say third party, so where on their site (1st party) are we suppose to run playtests?

    The Playtest Fighter

    Wait, what is uneasy about the Thief? Lazer Cleric is pretty simple: he shoots Radiant lance every turn, But can 2/day: can heal 18 + 1 (or is it wis), summon a hammer (deals 1d8 on a hit), or deal 4d8 lazer. Doesn't seem unsimple. Well, okay, hammer is a little unsimple. Moradin Cleric...

    Quick question: does the prohibition on online play affect your playtest?

    Actually online play outside WotC forums is prohibited only. If WotC only told you where you could on their site, it would help immensely. Anyhoo back to your main point: It affects me. Was going to play on RPG.Net a playtest group (I was to be Moradin Cleric), now that seems canceled.

    D&D 5E Played our first D&D Next Session - Questions and Impression

    Well, he can miss since it is a ranged attack (and they might have good AC, the Fighter alone has 17). Don't remember Ogre's AC. Nope, there goes your action. You only get an action and movement (plus free stuff like drawing things like potion or weapon). Pretty much, unless enemy was...

    Dwarf and poison.

    Or just not use poison as a stable anymore. It doesn't make them overpowered unless DM is stuck in his ways.

    There are no magic items in the PHB in 3.0/3.5.

    playtesting feel

    Agreed, I loved Langrisser (Warsong) when I was a kid. Now I found a legal way to play Langrisser 2 the sequel (was never translated before). And I liked it more than the first, but i still have fond memories of the 1st. Sadly, the other sequels are japanese only (I hate that Japan never sent...

    Casters vs Mundanes in your experience

    Not true of all casters in Conan's world. He relys on friendly Wizards/Druids all the time. It is only the Clerics he has issues with (those who worship Set mostly).

    Stunts or Powers?

    Then make it a normal option like Fighting defensively (-4 hit) or Charge (-2 AC) were. Anyone can perform Whirlwind maneuver, but you take a -4 penalty to hit to all attacks (attacking each opponent within range once). If you later take the feat, it is no penalty. Really, I think all...

    D&D is NOT Kobolds surviving Fireball

    Um, original Tucker's Kobold die easily. They live only because of numbers, tactics, and the player were used to hack and slash.

    D&D 5E 5E and the OGL

    I thimk an OGL for Core (at least PHB) would be wonderful, if they want an Insider subscription thing for Core + everything else like 4E than fine do that too. But they lose little by having some of Core (at least the PHB) being OGL.

    The Tattooed Monk (An Alternate Class)

    I have to say this is a decent Alternate class. Need to look over more, but first look, it fits the old Prc and seems to be balanced as an alternate.

    Almost as good as the fighter

    So we go back to healing for after combat like 3E. Or buy a wand of healing if they exist.

    D&D 5E A Thought about 5e Multi-classing...

    So, you had a issue if other players had more classes than you? It doesn't sound like it would be cookie cutter as they had different classes. Why would it be headaches?

    New Staff Blog: Run Away!

    Some adventure modules have morale in 3.5: Some say fight to death others surrender when 1/2 hp Others flee if they only one left Etc I do wonder why adventure modules have it, but it never mention in any DMG.

    D&D 5E A Thought about 5e Multi-classing...

    But many of us started on 2E not 1E so Dual classing (which is the deevolution of 3E's multiclassing) worked exactly the same. No required to be taught listed. I don't like the idea I'm penalized if I forget to cast a spell in a combat. I liked 3E's dual class system (since that is what...

    New Staff Blog: Run Away!

    As I have the books, I know you are fibbing/misinformed. They are in the AD&D 2nd edition books. Which AD&D are you referring to?

    Which Kobold feels right to You?

    You forgot Minion: Kobold Tunneler 4 x Level 1 creature with 1 hp (miss deals no damage). average character needs a '8' to hit and does 8.5 damage (Magic Missile 6), hits a level 1 fighter (plate and heavy shield) with a '14' for 4 (4). Character HP are Con + 10/12/15. Con ranges 8-20. They...

    D&D 5E D&D Next Design Goals (Article)

    No, here I think they would use Fort. Since Fort covers all poison/paralyzation. Why not? I think a Thunderdome style would be fun. I remember hearing a tale about a DM in a PBP game on some forum allowed it in a adventure. I don't know how it would out though. (I bet the 4E fighter felt...

    D&D 5E D&D Next Design Goals (Article)

    But 3.5 level 6 characters beat level 6 4E characters. But both can beat a level 6 2E or 1E (HP alone). I'd love to see the fight though (trouble will be seeing what magic items those 1E or 2E gets because that is 100% DM dependent since no WBL). So they can't truly be balanced vs each other...
