Thanks for the better math dave2008, I rushed my calculations and screwed up a few things but it does seem to be at CR 24. Pretty sure that was still the intent to make dragons feel me powerful than their CR suggests.

I also calculated a CR 24 for the Ancient Green Dragon (without Lair Actions) so I am curious where your lower 22 comes from. Hp 475 (90) from Legendary Resistance - 22 AC 21 +1 Defensive CR - 23 DPR - 132 (20) Attack Bonus +15 - (30) +5 Offensive CR - 25 Average CR - 24 In an early video...

I may be misremembering but wasn't there a really early video of Sven going to WoTC headquarters to meet with the team. It was Mearls I think and they were really pushing mindflayers for the game, specifically how they reproduced by changing people, there is some weird name for the process. It...

My group did a bunch of high level one-shots linked to form mini campaign. It was fun, you usually are just using the same basic things but dealing higher damage. I get that is a turn off for some, but it was the most enjoyable high level game I've played. I also ran a short campaign starting...

I can't speak for other companies or fields, but I know there has been a perceptible shift at my Fortune 500 company and our field in general moving away from shareholder concerns toward stakeholders. Balancing long term interests of the consumer, employee, and stability over short or medium...

That prestige class requires levels in Monk, Bard, and Barbarian. It's so MAD you can't really take it until like Level 12. Does anyone even play test these things... Back to Giants in the Playground for a new build. There goes like 2 hours and 10 books of rules time wasted.

While I agree that BIFTs could help players as short hand for a roleplaying aid I feel like they missed their mark. I think it should be mentioned as an option in the PHB at the end of character creation. They should reframe them to fit some the more the format fiction writers use. Yes, I am...

Is it sad this thread kind of made my night. Thanks OP, you wonderful oracle of things I didn't know I needed.

To start very little, go slow get 1dnd the best you can while being compatible. Once that is ready for release have a starter set ready, build off of the original. A Return to Phandalin set 10ish years in the future (along with FR). Let the team show us what it looks like if the characters were...

The only thing I want from a 5e clone is simple, rewarding mechanisms for non-combat. 5e is not perfect but it gets combat close enough, though simpler would be better. What it lacks is any tools for non-combat, ie skill based resolutions using group checks, real incentives for roleplay over...

Depends... I am already picturing kids setting them up in front their character sheet. Like old ladies at bingo with troll dolls.

So... dice transformers? I feel like they are neither good as dice or as miniatures but maybe collectibles like Funk Pops or Adorables

That and a number them don't seem entirely knowledgeable about the current rules or have even read the full Playtest Packet. I watched a few that claim the new Playtest says many things it does not or argue weird interpretations that make almost no sense.

But does he have the grits?

I was recently listening to a Podcast by Mastering Dungeons about the Playtest and they had a few interesting points. The one that got me thinking was in regards to new players and character creation. They pointed out the confusion of having a new player pick a Class, a Race, and then build a...

I understand stand the idea WOTC has but think the lists are the unnecessary obfuscation. Most new players read the title and generally understand the idea of War/Nature/Healing as a concept but upon reading the list often say oh I guess I also need to pick a deity. I just wish they dropped the...

In the current PHB each domain has a list of Gods that fit the domain and many players read that as I must worship one of those gods. I would drop the lists and instead focus on how a singular god may attract different followers (domains) and leave a list in the appendix for a pantheon or 3...

I know this is unlikely but I wish they complete disassociated subclass/domain from god's entirely. Each cleric focuses on an ideal War/Nature/Trickery etc. Then leave the deity information simply as fluff or at most part of a background. Let the player and DM decide upon a pantheon and pick the...

Personally I prefer the MTG settings they released more than a number of the older settings, simply because they come with so little baggage. As a bonus most feel very POL, which allows me to add other ideas. I will likely never use FR or Greyhawk material again because I find those settings...

I know it won't happen but I would prefer the monk simply add their Wisdom modifier to hp like AC. I feels fitting for a monk and makes different builds interesting.
