Didn't one of the developers say a few months back that the Warlock was his favorite class? The too-high damage of Eldritch blast smacks to me of some serious class favoritism.

I think you must hate heavy armour for some reason... I'd rather see something like this:

This changes everything! :D

I really like this game. I'm just sorry that it doesn't include plate armour... :(

Yes. I like to see more Tolkien influence in my orcs and less WOW/Warhammer.

I've been extremely disappointed with the last couple of "Rule-of-Three" articles. I look forward to these tantalizing little tidbits of 5e news every week, and it is a massive letdown to click on one only to have my hopes dashed and see that it is about 4e or something called "Dungeon Command"...

While I enjoy everything about this article, the part I loved most was right here: Mail was only AC 15 in the Playtest release material! This might very well indicate that they've boosted the effectiveness of heavy armour! My day is made! :D

Ummm...wow.... I'm not sure that I could possibly disagree with you more. When I open my D&D book, I'm most emphatically not dreaming about being Michael Jordan; I'd rather be the guy in mail... Let us award him no points, and may God have mercy on his soul.

Ooh. I'm interested. :D

Good Lord, no! The weapon and armour lists add much-needed flavor to the game. I, for one, would find a game with such a bland list of equipment as you propose dull and disappointing in the extreme. Please don't take away my cool toys...

But this is incorrect. Mundane, non-magical Field plate and Full plate in 1st edition AD&D offered some DR in addition to their already excellent Armor Classes (and this in a game with no "Max Dex" cap). They reduced damage by 1 and 2 points (respectively) per die of damage rolled. Thus, if...

One of the few pieces of news about 5e/D&D Next that I haven't liked has been the idea that the Forgotten Realms will be the central setting. I am so sick of that setting. Please, WotC, anything--anything--but the F'Realms. I'd even accept Nerath instead, and that's saying something, given my...

It meets with my approval. More of this, please, WotC! :lol:

No.

I thought he did a pretty good job of articulating my own position. I permit him to speak for me on this issue.

Ugh. What is it about the ubiquity of hideous black studded/spiked leather armour in bad fantasy films? I just know that they could have gotten better-looking plate or mail for a lot less money than that ugly stuff, so that means that they meant for it to be in there. I live for the day...

I agree. My hope is that it will correct the caster vs. Fighter imbalance too readily apparent in 3e, and that it will avoid being as...weird...as 4e. In fact, I really like what we've seen of the core rules in the playtest so far. The only change I'd make would be to boost the effectiveness...

Well, for me, it's irritating every time that happens.

I heard that the game's rules for weapons and armour were dreadfully...light... If that's the case, I think I'll give it a miss...

Not really. Again, I know I'm not likely to get my way on this one. When I have the new 5E PHB in my hot little hands and there is a monk in it, I know I'll just ban it (along with the one or two other classes I always ban) in my games like I always do. Y'all can have your monks.
