I don't understand why you say you aren't allowed to practice your religion? How is kicking out a gay couple from your hotel practicing your religion? You live in a country where your freedom ends where another person's freedom begins. And trust me, you want it that way and you don't want to...

This is a refreshing first for me. How can you interpretate the Sodom and Gomorrah massacre without considering sodomy a sin?

Isn't declaring a law anti constitutional the prerogative of the Supreme Court? Not doing business there is fine. What is wrong is using it as leverage to go against the vote of the people. Or would you rather live in a country where your vote doesn't matter because in the end, the lobby...

I'm not sure where you're getting at with this but a Rabbi that tries to perform a Christian ceremony is the same as a Canadian judge trying to exert justice on US soil. He just doesn't have that kind of authority. So even if a Rabbi or an Imam did conduct the ceremony, the (religious) mariage...

You should rejoice. This makes Indiana one of the safest places on earth from divine judgement. God won't incinerate Indiana the way he slaughtered everyone in Sodom and Gomorrah. *sigh* I wonder why the people of Indiana didn't take it one step further and made the burning of heretics legal.

How is it called when an economic power strong arms politicians into doing their bidding? I believe that's called lobbying. Last time I checked, people make the decisions in a democracy, not corporations... Even though I deeply agree with the cause, I can't help but wonder how the civil rights...

Normally, I wouldn't. But I don't mind being honest with my players and tell them I screwed up when there's a TPK. When you tell your players it's your fault and you :):):):)ed up, they don't mind rewinding to before you :):):):)ed up.

The title of this thread is "what does 5e need". I wonder why people think that wanting something that isn't possible in 5e means you're complaining. None of those solutions actually adressed the issue for me. My issue is that I'd like to play a fighter or a sorcerer that is actually the best...

I'd rather ask my DM to let me make up a generalist wizard subclass. That's the ideal solution: do it yourself. It's increadible easy to do these things in 5e. The only problem is when I'm not the DM... For some reason I don't understand, some DMs only accept WoTC stuff. Lord of the Rings...

In my opinion, the real offender is Expertise. It redefines what being best at skill means and it creates expectations. The rogue would be just as roguish with proficiency in a couple more skills instead of Expertise (or with a second background). I think backgrounds are great though. It allows...

I suppose I should at least give you the benefit of the doubt when you say you didn't understand what I said. Anyways, I'll try to explain again what I meant and hopefully this will allow us to leave this misunderstanding behind us. I'm sure you also have better things to do than arguing with a...

Post #25: Lord of the Rings Hobbit. That's the first of my posts you answered to. Tell me again, how did you misunderstand what I was saying when the post you answered to already had a literary reference? But even then, you actually told me that a ranger without spells, a generalist wizard, a...

I'm not conflating anything. One of my exemples out of three was not a D&D archetype but literature character (arguably 2 out of 3). How could you have missed that? If you don't read the posts and assume things, it's going to be difficult having a conversation. But I don't think you're here to...

Aragorn and Legolas for the rangers. Bilbo for rogue. And how about Driztt Do'Urden? It's been a while since I haven't read a Drizzt book but I don't recall him casting a whole lot of spells. And that's just rangers and rogues. Mike Mearls himself qualifies the D&D fighter as the 100% combat...

It's a matter of perspective. What you call niche/highly specialized concepts, I call common archetypes. What you call a suitable ways of making them, I call incomplete solutions. If I really think about it, what I'm really missing in 5e are a generic skill monkey class and a generic magic-user...

In my experience, the problem is more out of combat than combat with groups that large. If you guys are ok with not participating at all during a whole session except in combat because someone else is always quicker to make a suggestion, you might be able to have a good time with 9 players.

You kind of missed the point. I'm not saying you can't make characters that sort of look like those character concepts, I'm saying that I don't have enough options to make them close enough to the character concept I have in mind. The game has classes, subclasses, and feats. This creates...

You basically claimed two things. 1) WoTC could sell paperback AP. That seems like a reasonable claim and you're saying that Paizo sells paperback AP as evidence that it could work. 2) WoTC would make more money selling paperback AP or PDF versions (your post #3). That's where some people...

You don't need data to know what works. Business models that don't work don't stay around for long. If you still have softcover and hardcover out there after all this time, it means you have a market for both types of products and both are viable business models. You need data to know what...

For exemple, two of my favorite characters are a dwarven ranger that doesn't cast spells and a half-elf generalist wizard. To make my dwarf, I would go fighter and pick the right skills. For the wizard, I would pick any tradition and just roleplay the character like a generalist wizard. I also...
