I feel like I'm missing something, but I keep reading this... "Your patron’s powers have a profound effect on your body and magic. You don’t need to eat, drink, or breathe. In addition, when you hit a creature with an attack and roll damage against the creature, you can replace the damage type...

I don't think we really NEED a list or description of civilian or infrastructure spells that people use on a daily basis but I certainly see it helping verisimilitude and immersion. There's plenty of text describing peoples, organizations, customs, etc, but if a "instant dough proofing" or...

I've always felt that if DnD style magic and wizards existed in a believable setting, 90% of the spells would be agricultural, economic, architectural, culinary, etc, instead of combat and adventure oriented. You'd essentially have a wizard Bill Gates, Steven Jobs, Henry Ford, and so on...

I remember being a kid, picking up a 2e book, and wondering why characters could only move a few inches on their turn. After fully coming into the game with 3.5, i realized that 2e was assuming that you were using tactical miniatures.

To be honest, I don't plan on going totally nuts and abusing the short rest mechanic since I only really wanted enough spell points to quicken my EB a comfortable number of times per day. I mainly really really like the Genie pact flavor and the coffeelock reminds me too much of the dirty tricks...

Yeah. The "coffeelock" is the full cheese version! :ROFLMAO: Pretty much any warlock/sorc combo is pretty good though and I'm currently running the opposite (Sorc3/War17) to try out the UA warlock material. Pact of the Chain with an Imp familiar is amazingly useful from a non-combat perspective...

I played in a game where someone ran the meme build of a small PC dual weilding lances on the back of a war dog.

The big elephant in the room is that every single class is magical in the PHB and magic has serious setting restrictions in DS. You'd ideally have a full a Psion AND a psionic subclass for each class to take up the slack, but you're looking at a much thicker setting book once everything starts...

I'm not sure why so many people seem to assume that they'd force every race from the PHB into a 5e Dark Sun. I'm sitting here looking at both Mythic Odysseys of Theros and Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica, which both clearly state "...races of the Player's Handbook are unknown on [Ravnica/Theros]...

I'd really like to like the gunner feat because i'd prefer settings with guns but i can see how it would be problematic for groups where a player would grab this out of a book and the DM would be feel like he's being forced to add guns.

4e flashbacks.

I really like it when players come up with background hooks and motivations for their character and if they provide such things, I'll gladly roll them into the story. If players don't care about these things, i might come up with the little something to throw their way but I recognize that some...

I remember it having top-tier fluff and world building info but less spectacular mechanics. I prefer the way IK does dragons over the basic color-coded D&D version as well, though the addition of layer stuff has edged 5e bosses in that direction.

I'll be glad to get another take on guns in 5e. Hopefully, the balance is better than the original 3.0 and the crafting rules are less wonky.

One cool thing about the genie warlock is that you can get Wish at level 17. That's going to to open up a lot of opportunities that Limited doesn't.

I went back to double check and noticed: "As an action, you can speak your desire to your Genie’s Vessel, requesting the effect of one spell that is 6th level or lower and has a casting time of 1 action. The spell can be from any class’s spell list, and you don’t need to meet the requirements...

Sure, but i think this point is a tangent from the original issue. I was merely arguing that a larger toolbox doesn't necessarily lead to less creativity, not that a larger toolbox is, or should be, a universal preference of players. Heroes' Feast has been brought up a few times and it at...

Having tools that are fewer in number but much greater in flexibility is certainly fun. I feel like I mention it in every thread, but I've recently realized how great Wall of Stone is just because it's permanent and the text says it can take any shape you want. One spell, infinite variation...

Right. Like I said, you can tell me that a character is doing a thing and some folks think that counts as roleplay. It's a valid way to play regardless. You can be the best roleplayer to ever live without knowing anything about rolling initiative or making an attack roll. You can roleplay...

Fingers crossed for goblinoid guns.
