Reverse Gravity seems to leave a lot up to interpretation as for what happens in the rounds following the initial casting of the spell. Obviously, anyone failing the save falls upwards and anything making the save is able to hold onto something and keep from falling... but what happens next...

The only group I am playing with tends to be more story focused, and is also a large group (7 PCs). We tend to go 0-3 combats between long rests. I would say ~2 combats would be the most common number. Occasionally we get into big dungeon slogs that need more, but that is honestly the rare...

I prefer leveling up to be done Diablo 3 style where it is accompanied by a woosh of energy that damages and knocks back all enemies around you, and you immediately go to full health and mana. See if you can get your DM to go for something like this.

Yes, of course. I just don't like how its shortcomings are flaunted front and center in a system that lets characters heal 1/2 HP on short rests and all of it just from a long rest. Yes it's also unrealistic that resting for a week (in 3e) could heal these types of injuries, but since magic...

I find the "cure light wounds problem" to be the lesser of two evils. When your hero suffers numerous grievous wounds from a tough battle and just barely pulls through at least it is fantasy world believable that magic is what healed them up and is letting them push on to the next encounter...

Despite them playing *extremely* loose with the rules at some points (I mean come on, Perkins let Jim Darkmagic kill a monster using prestidigitation as an attack - lol), it was a very enjoyable session. Much more entertaining than their last couple games, in my opinion.

Twice a month on Friday night. We meet for about 5 hours but usually only end up getting about 3.5 hours of gaming in. Wish it were a bit longer sessions or more often.

The fantasy of the rogue being a character who stabs people in the back with a dagger or who uses small weapons to fight with speed and accuracy is *severely* outclassed by the archer rogue who just shoots a shortbow. Why would anyone ever play a melee rogue character in 5E? It is a horrible...

I think it's a cool idea, but I would prefer the rules for it fit to work against all creatures all the time, and also to work for Monsters fighting against the players. I don't like these type of rules that only work in some situations and only the PC's get to use them. Make it a rule that can...

This reminds me that I definitely don't want to trade out Feather Fall from my sorcerers spell list after level 14. That bad boy is going to sit there, probably unused, for the entire campaign just so something like this never happens.

This is what I was afraid of after reading the concentration rules :( I do really like the "only 1 spell at a time" part of it. Putting a lid on the massive buff spamming that was high level 3.x games is a welcome change. But the rolling to keep a spell up every time the caster takes damage...

I, for one, welcome our Codzilla overlords.

My long-time D&D group is switching over from Pathfinder to 5th edition for our new campaign starting next week. We tend to play these campaigns for quite a long while (1-2 years), so I want to get things right as far as designing my character and making sure the group is diverse enough to cover...

Blame MMO's. In Everquest, a game mostly about combat, the rogue was given the role of "group dependent melee damage dealer". Since things like picking locks and disarming traps and hiding from NPC's are really only secondary concerns in a video game that is all about killing monsters and...

I want to see an official E6 Pathfinder book that collects, refines, and playtests the various E6 rules/options/feats that have been floating around out there since 3.5 days. With a supporting E6 adventure path simultaneous release. Would buy this.

I'm starting to feel like the majority of this thread has just been people fictionally positioning themselves. Rules should be clear and include as much as possible. Of course, as a DM you have the power to analyze specific situations in detail that the rules are probably only covering...

I've been playing with the same D&D group doing 3.0/3.5/3.P for the last 12 years, roughly. During that time we have played through 4 full campaigns, with 3/4 of them going to level 20+ So yeah, I kind of expect our games to make it to the higher levels and plan accordingly when concepting a...

I sure hope so. It was a terrible dream.

If they fail to come out with a pdf of the book on release day (which looks likely), I think we will sadly see that everyone just pirates a scanned one instead. Good work WotC.
