This is an important question, as it keeps popping up in group after group. Especially those running HOTDQ. At the core of this issue is that magic items specially do not have value. In fact the core rules tells us magic items cannot be sold or traded 99% of the time. So that leaves the DM...

Agree with above. Its easier to re-skin the current armors, and explain "plate mail" as full bronze armor or some such, than to modify the entire game for era specific ideas. Its also easier to introduce "game changers" if you do want to introduce steel swords, or such by just increasing those...

As Cernor said, use the learn a new tool rules. In real life training animals takes years for intelligent animals like hawks, dolphins, etc. So if the driud wants something smart, he will need to spend at least a year. (Assuming the druid nature speeds things up a bit).

Pathfinder Online cancelled, refunds issued.

Green Ronin and Paizo are partnering for a tabletop/card game adaptation for the Go-Bots reboot.

I used actual XP for the first 3 chapters. It gave them a slight boost, but not much. But it helped as they could more easily survive chapter 3. Chapters 4/5 i went to milestone. Chapter 6 they pretty much screwed around so I went back to XP (thankfully they didnt jsut attack the castle)...

*leaning down a cool human rubs ash between his fingers before standing up and putting on sunglasses. "Let's find these ash-holes." YEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

WOTC builds brands slowly. After 4E the D&D brand lost ALOT of market share. Since 3E Tabletop RPGs has become an incredibly competitive market with not alot of growth. From a corporate standpoint, why spend $$$$ to fight for $. Even if you capture the entire market share, you still might...

D&D is building the brand. Once its established, they will licence the *(&^ out of it. Theres your money for WOTC and all your products to buy.

With this wacky release schedule and prolonged timetable, 5E seems to be less and less about brand revitalization and more and more about brand sustaining. Meaning, I dont think HASBRO/WOTC wanted to spend alot to bring D&D back, nor do they want to spend alot maintaining it. They simply...

4e and 3E had licences, GSL and OGL. 5E does not yet. So if Obsidian was trying to trump a 5e Licence and WOTC said wait for it, Obsidian said screw you we will look into PFRPG, since Numenera already had a game in the works.

D&D has a history of BAD products, and it kills the brand. D&D doesnt know what or who its audience truly is, and often makes mistakes. So Hasbro/WOTC has every right to ensure that its licensed property gets used properly. Also we cant forget that there is still a court case going on about...

I guarantee you that the first year earnings for D&D will pay for those 13 salaries for at least 3 years.

This reads : We couldnt afford D&D so we went with what was left.

Thats the perfect example of why its there... to prevent "Well im totally useless!"

This is precisely what the 5E starter set is for. Use the pre-gens or if you have 5e PHB have them make characters. Its a long, great, classic adventure. I cannot recommend it enough for new players or DMs.

Just being a little kassy... i mean sassy.

Gotta HAND it to them... Seems like they're a HEAD above the rest.
