Now what's interesting is that in english we spell your country's name with a z and the capital's name with an s. Weird, huh.

I must tell someone else that they are awesome before I can tell you that you are awesome

I have looked at the forgotten realms with love and disappointment. In a sense I am glad that someone attempted to create a world where everything was linked to everything else and a grand history of connected narratives could be created, because that is how historians record and understand our...

I didn't play much fourth edition, but wasn't the avenger unarmored? Maybe they could do it like the cleric class and have armor proficiencies be determined by sub-specialization.

I am the quintessential consumer. I didn't even like fourth and I still bought all the books. Will buy immediately. I'll also steal a copy for my computers, but I'll pay for at least one copy of each book.

If we just took ranger and paladin spells and called them abilities would everyone be okay with that? Here the monicker ability could imply something supernatural or mundane, whatever tickled the player's fancy.

There's already really good reason to be wearing light armor. If you can move faster than your opponent and can move before and after your attacks you can outpace a slower enemy, thereby controlling your engagement with them. It becomes especially easy when you have some way to prevent them from...

we don't. that's the point. Instead of making it a fighter/druid this time they're just using the mechanics for a neutral paladin with the same end result.

I would really like to see something that actually feels medieval. Most of the fantasy worlds come closer to early renaissance than medieval structure. Peasants aren't loyal citizens, they're just people who happen to live within a warlord's domain. Kings are usually illiterate warmongers who...

I'm digging it, although I would also have been cool with a sort of LN justicar.

I think they are avoiding the doubling of damage pretty well. I noticed in the Legends and Lore section that fighters will have to do some kind of recharge in order to do big damage using their expertise dice. If we go ahead and presuppose that the majority of fighter damage is going to come...

The problem is likely occurring because they don't use .pdf's in their internal testing. If they are like any other major company they'll use the (admittedly poor) microsoft word, which has its own method of tracking changes between multiple users. I write a lot of papers with professors at my...

I never got to play an eberon game and I have always wanted to. Other than that, wotc knows that i'll buy anything they put a FR sticker on. Also I love imagining new worlds so anything new that they put out will get bought up by me. I'll buy any brand new setting, even if it's just for the...

On the one hand having a lot of dice create reliable distributions of numbers that are less swingy. On the other hand we have low levels of dice that are easier to manage. I like the reliable distributions more than the easier averages + small dice pool. Both systems bring advantages and...

That would seem fine if you really like fighters with high intelligence, but what do I tell a player if he asks if he should increase his strength when leveling up his fighter? I'll tell him that being strong doesn't really mean anything? If we want stats to not matter than they shouldn't be...

Couldn't they just make skill training give you advantage on checks that qualify under your skill training description? This will shrink the possibility of really low rolls. I dont know how to make this scale with higher levels, I guess having a static bonus based on level wouldn't be the worst...

I really like the idea of the martial damage bonus being a multiple of your stat modifier. So instead of it saying on your character sheet that you get +X base damage you get +x*(stat modifier) in additional damage.

I am definitely into the idea that [w] should be used for the martial damage die for something direct, like deadly strike, but a lot of the maneuvers use the die total as a method of determining a quantity of success, like for parry. If you use [w] for all of the martial damage die then a...

Whether or not the rogue actually steals things shouldn't really affect whether or not they know the language associated with underworld dealings. Not everyone who works in less than strictly legal activities necessarily steals things.

The key difference is whether or not you won't play it because you don't think it's cool or because you think the mechanics are underpowered or not conducive to adventuring success. If the mechanics make sense and I'm not using it just because it's not my thing, I say don't change it. If it's...
