I treat different races the way a person in medieval Europe in the real world would view them if they actually met them. So play a half-orc or Dragonborn with that in mind. Dwarves and halflings better make people think they are short humans. Elves better hide there ears. I admit i don’t all...

Maybe just not build a character around one weapon is the solution.

This is an argument that goes nowhere. You either do as WotC says or you house rule. What the rules should be is up to anyone depending on the game they want to play.

So the unarmed fighter will have different abilities depending on the jurisdiction the fight takes place. Got it. Works for me.

Actually I kind of like it, except the bypassing of resistance and immunity to Bludgeoning damage.

I don’t think the two can exist in the same game. It’s pointless. Imho a system can’t have both be awesome. Again, just my opinion.

Some people play the monk because they want the shaolin monk wuxia character. I think quite a few. There martial arts is supposed to beyond that of others.

I don’t like it either. They are not going to change it for us. House rule it or find a different game. Even if they did it would take years. So what are you going to do in the mean time. House rule it or find another game.

I wouldn’t go that far. That’s what house rules are for. Customization for your setting.

Classes should be apples oranges. And this very difficult to compare. I think in my opinion they need to be good at different things which can make them difficult to compare. The game is more than dpr.

To be honest, that’s a person I wouldn’t even want to play with. He’s not trying. I would have take his paladin abilities away. It’s fine if your table wants to play that way. But not at mine. Or even my friends table for that matter. Although i do like a good villain game sometimes. The...

You guys sound like lawyers. It’s. It’s not difficult to understand. You either like the rules and play with them or you change the rules. It’s pretty cut and dry.

Yes. Hercules is a demigod. They do things player characters will never be able to do.

House rules are necessary because the rules can not please everyone. Some people want the more gritty and some want the more wuxia. It just depends on the type of game u like. Far easier to let players customize than try to write a rule for every possibility, which would probaly look like our...

I really like the rules as presented for reason many people have already stated. I would change them on a case by case basis depending on the type of game i am running. For example I may house rule them As weapons and possibly even increase the damage to 1d3 if I was running a wuxia type game...

There is so much wizard hate these days. It’s magic should shine above all others because they are should be more focused on it. The cleric is focused on his god. The sorcerer just born with it. The bard concerned with the lore and traditions of his people. The warlock is clueless fool making...

It’s all about dpr too many.

Oh god yes. It took me forever to wrap my head around fate. But it was well worth learning. As an older player it was like learning to walk again.

It’s. It not like there isn’t enough room for senseless violence. Just make them squirm when and where. And let it cause shifting alliances.

I will add that what I like about d&d is the heroic roleplayjng where a fighter can take a dragon or giant in one on one combat. I also like how in 1E we had a 15th level fighter defeat 10 hill giants. And that was cool. The neighboring evil knights that saw it wouldn’t screw with him directly...
