Yes, 100 times. This. We're no longer flogging a dead horse, we're hunting down every last acquaintance of the horse's family members... STAHP!!!

Quite right. My intention was to say the all-encompassing 'game'; the community, the disparate editions, the big picture 'thing'.

Nice trivia! I like the nod to reforging the game as was the sword.

Okay, this will pretty clearly stay one of those rules where there will be 2 distinct schools of thought and will be dealt with in 2 obviously opposite ways depending on table/DM ruling. Why pollute yet another thread with each side trying to justify their viewpoint as the correct one? One...

Awesome, Thanks!! Looking forward to it!

Would love to be in on this. Looks like no big hitter yet so I wouldn't mind taking melee Fighter pregen (with some background tweaks when we see basic kit?) RPGTO username: tsem

Ah! thanks, I saw that too. It sounded like (or I was hoping) that there was an actual analysis/copy of it floating around.

Interesting! Could you post a link to it or the write up? This is not intended to be argumentative; honestly interested in reviewing it. Thanks!

Since you're making the additional pregens with the backstories to consider, I would suggest (interchangeably but with the cleric getting a slight edge): - Cleric, ranged crossbow build (acolyte background for a priest-forced-adventurer backstory) - Fighter, dex two-weapon fighting build...

AARGH!! Can't XP Remathilis, have to spread it around! Some else do it!

Watching the hysterics over this issue and I'm moved to observe that, while magical healing is perfectly okay to include in the game, it better not include an actual, documented physical phenomena. SW is a thing. It's experienced most effectively by trained subjects and athletes, runners and...

I've pre-ordered the Starter Set from my F(not-so)LGS. I've been playing 4e, I've played AD&D, 3e, 3.5/Pathfinder and others outside of the D&D family. I've enjoy them all, some more than others, I don't have a favourite. I'm looking forward to 5e to see where it stands but it's looking good...

Free rules pdf (Basic D&D) will be released on the same day as the WPN stores (July 3rd) as per this thread

100% agree with this, and done so early on. Though, I still see the inane prattling as quotes in responses :D Not yet. T minus 8 days (at most) before we do for sure.

Yes, oh god, please, yes.

Is it such a tax to play 'with an honor code' that, faced with such a prospect, you would look to activities like watch a movie or play a video game, where that's unnecessary? Could you describe 'pretend to play with an honor code'? Is it hard to play with a mutual social contract in your group...

This, along with non-chaining short rests, is exactly how our table will be dealing with it. +1 Awesome sign-off :) I also liked what I heard. I've been very happy with what I've been seeing with the rules as well, but I liked a lot of things I heard on the adventure design. I like the...

Seconded! Though this was raised and ignored in other threads as well. Ultimately I'm just as happy with Mike's response of (paraphrasing) "if players want to play a boring game and be bored then we're not going to prevent that" and "it's a table problem, or maybe it's not a table problem"...

I agree with this also. I am happy with the implied rules as it stands, but may houserule that second wind can only be invoked within the scene/encounter/battle that hp have been taken, therefore, you can't `second wind` if you haven't yet been `winded`.

Thank's Sword of Spirit, a reasonable response and I respect the concept. I think we're using the same argument but from different sides; I think it's based on one's accepted definition of second wind in reality and through experience. If the actual naming of the feature is ignored and it's...
