and the modern wizard wasn't invented yet either... you DID have simple casters too... you had a couple of spells and had to prep them in the slot to use them. the fighter DID have as much or more flexibility and there were not skills or feats but there were non weapon profs... the problem...

yeah the first 6-10 years of gaming I ran mine that way too... infact we used to make spell book lists and even at character creation the player didn't pick, they just took a random spell book from the DM.

okay that's good. I am glad that (for a change on the internet) you understand that I have a financial background and know it wont effect things OMG... a thousand miles... really, that is how far word of someone with moneey spreads in your world? how fast? lets say there is a secret psychic...

yeah but that's the thing with 5e money, that cleric will find real quick that now that he has plate there isn't much to spend on. At level 1-3 money has LOTS of uses. at levels 4-6 you saved up and bought the things you wanted (In my experence) after that you just get a number to track

I am divided on this... back in 2e we never gave wizards the free level up spells BUT we always made a promise as a DM to have enemy casters to get books from and libraries present. to do the research... over the last 23 years with more arcane casters (sorcerer, artificer, warlock and bards...

tbh I think a simple champion/slayer like fighter is a great idea for people that WATN simple martial, but I think a 4e fighter/3.5 warblade/ 4e warlord class is needed (but rettoled so they have options for all 3 pillars, warblades still didn't have much socal and very little exploration)

4e addressed the issue at hand "Caster supremacy" after years of organized complaint with 3.5 2000 is the start, the first 4-6 months of 3e so yeah by not saying "until now" you did cut out 3e lol yeah players are the only problem got it.... no it isn't and you have folks like me advocating...

anything a fighter can choose to do as "outside the mechancis" so can the hexblade, the valor bard, the warcleric, and the bladesinger wizard

oh man 150 gold you say... AFTER my 4 free 3rd level spells. Lets look at my 9th level wizard/artificer... he has 1,750gp and 140pp (not counting silver copper or gems) on them... so if he wanted to copy 3rd level spells into his book I have 3,150gp worth of money I could spend... lets divide...

it's not bad players... give a new class (call it warlord or warblade or swordsage) the power and options available to a caster while fulff stays martial and the problem solves itself if it wasn't a problem then 4e never would have been made... by the end of 3.5 (the worst edition for it) you...

how? I would love to see how a church getting a huge donation destroys anything... they either hoard the money or spend it. How about that tip to the bar owner... same thing. this isn't 'printing more money' its just circulating money already there. I am a money guy and I promise you if...

define rare. There are dozens of posters in the last year on this sight that have given examples. yes it is so agian why can't we have both

Literslly I have read that argument... it isn't mine and I agree you don't need mechanics for everything... but once you go to "Not mechanics just try" it is 100% balanced any class can try them (see my example of the buffed cleric vs fighter) HOWEVER when one class gets 10 options and the...

me, I don't. every longish campaign ends with players having dragon hoards worth of GP. I also as a player just throw money around... last saterday we went to a temple of a god of knowledge and magic to ask for info... when we left I dropped 2,000 pp. a few weeks before I bough the rooms and...

I would say it a bit different... if you as a table say it's not worth tracking age, rations, or arrows that's great, if you decide it is that's great too. I know we track rations when the game concept calls for it (surviving in a dessert) but not most games.

Yeah I love when people try this argument "If you were smarter and more creative you would just do things without out mechanics" because OFCOURSE nothing stops the wizard or druid or warlock from doing anything the champion fighter can with "Creativity and without mechanics" One of my favorte...

again the con HP change is almost never something you saw unless you drop below 7 or start with a 15+ yup I know what a system shock is we didn't mot cast them we just took it serious yeah I would call BS on no con score... but I will say we often had bad guy NPCs make up ways to steal con...

Tbh I don't need it to be a massive penelty. It can be 100% fluff (awful spry 70 year old human since you have the same stats as you did at 20) I just want the player to record that age, let it seep into there minds and there RP. I never once saw an elf age a year or two and not stop to...

maybe it's cause I;m old, but I remember when they were fighter/wizards in 2e style but I guess I can see why you would want full caster. I think a spell caster class (full or half) that had a bunch of melee based spells some weapon based spells more then the cantrips and bonus if some were...

I don't think I am wasting my time
