Well, level has game world currency too; The numbers are abstractions of 'real' qualities. Two people that have achieved the same level of worldly experience have similar levels of personal power. So, at least internally, we might be able to say something about a wizard who casts only magic...

Just wondering. I haven't playtested yet, but I am intrigued about some of the stuff I'm reading. Is it unfair to ask this? Is 5th ed doing the things your preferred edition(s) did better? Is it addressing the things you saw as problematic? Also, to what degree is it shaping up to unite...

I like the idea of very homogenous core classes that can handle cultural and racial tendencies by apropriate feat selection. I always liked the idea of the troll ranger for a bestial hunter, except for the dichotmous fighting style. If stripped of some of the 3ed class features, the ranger could...

awesome

Yes please.

pretty much my sentiments. I like being able to class-up monsters, but wouldn't want to do it all the time

True. Not sure how I misread that. Thanks for clarifying.

Beat me to it. I'll also add that Wall of Force also has a duration of instantaneous; the magic used to create it is there for a split second and then gone. The wall of force itself has already been generated and isn't magical, RAW (though I wonder what non magical ongoing condition can maintain...

It might be that the weaver of plots had already seen her own fate closing in on her. The contrivings and plots all drew to some inescapable conclusion. Yes, the heroic pawns she was to fight might destroy her, and this was possibly the way it had to be. But she had a trump card, a life-line...

Part of Sauron's gimp outfit

So theoretically in the basic or core game, they can have some fundamental, straight-forward and simple classes, and feats will provide an option for customising your character the way you want to? If this is the case and it's done well, this seems like a fantastic idea to me. One of my biggest...

I'm convinced a lot of folk, new or otherwise, would agree with you! If I have the option, I'll be happy.

Li I thought his point with this is that for new players the choosing can be exhausting! I've encountered the same problem as was here mentioned with players long after the early days of 3ed.

I guess I'm asking this out of sympathy, because on the surface that seems pretty crap: what is the future fan support exactly? And why would WOTC stop this?

I'd have to go 3.5 core set too. I wonder how many rounds of thumbing through the DMG to find the variation that allows me to take the first d6 falling damage as subdual (so I could jump out the window).

Sounds like a good outcome! Doesn't sound like it was exactly handed to them, which would't have been satisfying. I imagine many games kind of play out like this, small things being forgotten, but the important thing is that game, by your description sounds suitably epic; fighting enemies on a...

Very interesting! I think the crux of your problem is that you have only one session with which to "teach" your players anything! And instead of learning a powerful lesson, they may just find a completely unsatisfying end to something you've already put a lot of time into. Personally, I reckon...

I certainly can't see how Galadriel's traits couldn't be replicated completely by standard class.

Well if you aren't missing it, don't worry! I'm personally more or less happy with what I play; it's certainly not perfect, and so I keep a lazy eye on the message boards and such to see what 5th might bring, but I'm not holding my breath that it will address the issues I have. And that's fine...
