    DDAL Guide: Customizing Starting Gear in AL

    I do beg your pardon, Kalani, but I have one quibble; you list the Fighter(GuildMASTER) for maximum gold. Shouldn't that be Guild ARTISAN, for clarity?

    I just hope SOME of what I did was useful to you. You work way too hard on this; but thank you for doing it.

    Wanting players to take in-game religion more seriously

    I would like to repeat, for emphasis, one particularly telling statement amongst all of that (emphasis mine): "Even priests of particular gods acknowledge the roles that other deities play in the world and in their lives."

    Wanting players to take in-game religion more seriously

    To Intently (OP): I agree with several of the responders in this thread. Clear communication with your players is essential. Try discussing again with the group what YOU would like regarding 'immersion' and 'respect' regarding the [in-game & Out-of-Character] worship/acknowledgement of the...

    Honestly, Joost, I appreciate ANY attention you can spare. I mean, <sarcasm> you hardly spend any time working on the sheet, let alone a REAL job... </sarcasm> ;) Ray

    Mijn vriend: As always, you are amazingly fast in updating your spectacular generator/play-sheet. Have you had a chance to review what I sent you regarding UA:RR? Just checking. Ray

    D&D 5E Halfling non-magical damage options in the first tier of play

    MelloRed: I wasn't trying to belittle any position. However, based on the TITLE of the thread, comparisons of Final HP, Possible AC, etc. aren't answering the OP's question/request. And I noticed (again) some of the respondents were beginning to become a little "emphatic". And I agree...

    D&D 5E Halfling non-magical damage options in the first tier of play

    Please don't argue about this. 1. Everyone has opinions. 2. Statistics are just a way to 'formalize' ones opinions. 3. One can base statistics on any number of "OPINION-BASED" 'important' base ASSUMPTIONS/GIVENS. 4. See #1

    Yes, there is. You can build one. Other than that, just use one of the "Notes" Sections from Page 6. This collation/programmed .pdf is an amazing piece of programming. Sadly, like EVERYTHING else in reality, it can't be all things for all people. >edit: Sorry, that was a little "snarky"...

    D&D 5E Halfling non-magical damage options in the first tier of play

    Well, if you want a midget-Sam Vimes/Wild Bill Hickock, try this: Race: Lightfoot Halfling (+2 DEX, +1 CHA), all the other Halfling goodies... Background: Urban Bounty Hunter Pick 2 from Deception, Insight, Persuasion, and Stealth Class: Rogue, Swashbuckler Pick 4 from (Rogue List)...

    Astromath; Wizards (and previously TSR) has ALWAYS been like that. The philosophy dates back to Gaxygygar and his mantra: "I invented this game, you'll do it MY way (even if I don't). I'm smarter than you." They're not as blatant about it, and often don't even realize they're doing it. But they...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: The ranger, revised... overcompensation?

    Chaosmancer: No need to force any one player in any one group. There are now literally MILLIONS of D&D players around the world. We're cool now; even Vin Diesel is one of us (OPENLY!). I've been lucky over the last 30 years; I've been a member of 3 different gaming clubs, each with dozens of...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: The ranger, revised... overcompensation?

    "Sigh" Okay, for clarity's sake, let's repeat what is on the first page of the UA article... "...most issues we see with classes are confined to specific abilities that don’t play a big role in determining whether players like the class as a whole. In other words, no class is perfect, but each...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: The ranger, revised... overcompensation?

    To the Original Poster, and all participants in this thread: I would like to apologize if I come off a little "strident" in my posts. This game has been a major part of my life for 42 years, and I've been involved in discussions/debates/arguments/wars... over it since about day 2. Generally...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: The ranger, revised... overcompensation?

    Favored Enemies/Bonus versus {CreatureType} has been a characteristic of the Ranger since they introduced the class. Originally, it was mostly Orcs or Giants. (you DO know what I'm Tolkien about, right? ;) ) Over the years, they have added, expanded, and further codified the options, but it's...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: The ranger, revised... overcompensation?

    @ nswanson27: Agreed. IF you play the 'combat-turn-sequence' AS WRITTEN, the Revised Ranger gets a boost, but NOT a game-breaking one. AND, if it's a Ranger/Assassin Dual-Class, YES, it has a good chance for a one-shot kill. But as I posted in the missing "9000 pages", that IMMEDIATELY paints...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: The ranger, revised... overcompensation?

    Capn, I don't follow much of the social media stuff, except when referenced (& Linked) in threads like this. However, I have read a few, and my impression is that the Dev's are collectively not very collected. Either that, or they are deliberately obtuse and obfuscating (not that I'd put THAT...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: The ranger, revised... overcompensation?

    Reconstructing my previous thoughts... I was participating in the (now lost) "9000 pages" of discussion on the UA: Ranger, Revised. I'd like to try to address the 'concerns' of some of you regarding this re-imagining of the 5e Ranger. First off, it is attempting to re-balance the Ranger class...

    Welcome Back!!! We missed you. We missed the Forums. We missed a major meltdown of ENWorld, but it has returned. Unfortunately for ME, I had to re-register, because I was part of the eliminated time-line. Mijnheer Joost, one of the posts deleted while you were gone was my statement that I was...
