Does the word “Classic” on the logo indicate that there will be something which isn‘t “Classic”?. My money is on an in-universe reboot like the last lot of Star Trek movies which allows WotC to tinker with elements that they deem important to a modern audience. It’s kind of a problem that...

Putting aside the rights and wrongs about removing alignment, pick your own stat increases and the removal of text from Volo’s, what market research did WotC carry out which led them to make these change? I think I’ve completed all their surveys and can’t recall any questions relevant to these...

I think the thing with barbarians is to distinguish between the barbarian class and a tribe of barbarian people where probably only a small part are members of the barbarian class

Will the next book be called “Friend Folio” ?

I hope the people who called for this crap are now happy that the game is ruined.

Just go f*** yourself WotC https://media.wizards.com/2021/dnd/downloads/VGtM-Errata.pdf Beholders, Mind Flayers and Yian-ti are all decent people now. I’m not buying any more of this s***. This is all complete dog crap

I guess the thing thing with orcs is their history in Middle Earth which obviously influenced D&D. Orcs were an unnatural species made by the Dark Lord Melkor from tortured Elves. In Middle Earth it is clear cut that they are irredeemable evil creatures. D&D orcs in the Forgotten Realms are...

Of course this is just my opinion. I have opinions about most of the changes and while I don’t agree with the people who are championing the changes, I at least can understand their perspective. One thing that I haven’t seen any real argument for is the removal of age, height and weigh. Some...

I’m probably tread on thin ice but I think that if inclusivity becomes too much of a focus it can seem forced or disproportionate and instead of promoting inclusivity it can actually provoke a negative reaction. The game should be something everyone feels comfortable playing without feeling...

I think I’ve finally cracked it. The only logical reason for these changes is that they are going to produce a crappy range of 6” rubber monsters and characters all with the same body mould with a different head stuck on

It’s all here Creature Evolutions | Dungeons & Dragons To me, this is the most inexplicable change. The only vaguely coherent reason I’ve heard is that they aren’t used often in play. It’s a nice detail and a way of fleshing your character out so I’m really confused. Is there something I’m not...

It’s the same for the ones published by WotC on the Guild DDAL-DRW-EP-03 When the Lights Went Out in Candlekeep - D&D Adventurers League | Dungeon Masters Guild

All the recent adventures in the DMs Guild seem to be adopting this. E.g. the content warnings on this I Find That Familiar (WBW-DC-FDC-03) - Dungeon Masters Guild | Dungeon Masters Guild

It would. If they do decide to have variable bonuses to be the default rules, I’d like to think that there wouldn’t be any harm in them giving defined fixed bonuses as an option but that isn’t what we’ve seen in recent releases

While I agree and hope you are right, I think WotC will avoid a “race attempts to take over the world” storyline for a while. It could be an interesting take if Elves or Dwarfs were the antagonists next time round though

Thanks for the comments. I tried to keep my language neutral and purposefully kept my arguments out of my post. I’m not sure why D1Tremere decided to decide that I was being biased and proceed to tell me how wrong I am. I too believe that the changes are reactionary to changes to current...

Hi We‘ve been told there will be some sort of revision of the rules and aspects of the game for the 50th anniversary in 2024 The things we know about are: Starting stat bonuses no longer being tied to race The removal of character age, height and weight as factors Changing monster and NPC...

Looking at 5e it says Wisdom is “Wisdom reflects how attuned you are to the world around you and represents perceptiveness and intuition.” While AD&D says “Wisdom is a composite term for the character’s enlightenment, judgement, wile, will power, and (to a certain extent) intuitiveness.” So...

Going back to what the discussion was originally about, I‘d argue that Wisdom is more the “stupid” stat than Intelligence. While someone with a high Intelligence seems very knowledgeable, if they have a 3 Wisdom, they are unable to apply that knowledge to real life and will make “stupid” decisions

Having an Imaginary character who is proud of their 18 Strength, Dex, Con and Charisma is obviously body shaming the real life players so I guess we can’t have that either
