the 'Virtual Gold Dragon Mini' for the 'upcoming virtual tabletop' is the most ridiculous bonus. This is like when Pokémon hands out a bundle of Revives as pre-order bonus!

Not specifically, just 'crafting useful items' in general. 'Magic Items' are only a special thing because DnD doesn't have mundane gear that does cool stuff, but in a modern or future campaign, you can just build gizmos. In this discussion I don't really make a difference.

Thank you for answering! What do you like about them?

The recent preview about the new crafting rules made me curious, and, since I don’t know every game out there, I thought I would ask the opinion of the experts found on this esteemed hall of knowledge: What RPG out there has a good crafting system? Are there any held as the best in the genre...

They didn't try to make a 5e Warlord.

I'm not a fan either. This is just turning everybody into a Wizard and having to constantly obsess witho ptimizing your day's load out. Yeah, I'd rather get a stable bonus than risk rolling a 1 on a big dice.

I'm not against helping players who regret a choice and letting them retrain, but all these 'you can change X on a long rest' gives a feel to the game I don't particularly appreciate AND it'll result in players always looking for THE optimal choice for the day, obsessing over which one to go for...

Sounds like you'd just end up with TWO liability. Personally I'd just create a 'Beast' sidekick class and have the beast companion, avalable to just about anybody, be treated as a simplified extra character. Just take it into account when building encounters and nobody'll notice. Then you can...

Man, is there something in this edition that actually asks people to commit to a choice?

One of the reason why I hate animal companions... they either break the action economy or they're a huge liability. You mean the companion being a liability and the game turning into a lame escort mission is a feature?! That's just wanted a terrible game... Yeah something like that. All the...

But we all know the book that went to lv 20 wouldn't sell as much...

Augh, don't remind me

Let's be honest: you could easily split the game into two (Lv 1-10 and Lv 11-20).

SIGH I guess you're right... It's not like the 5e monsters in 2014 had much variety in their abilities... You could turn a base template into a wolf by adding Pack Tactics and that ability to know people prone when attacking with advantage. The rest is just numbers. I dunno if the new ones...

It's more balanced than the absurd ammont of space taken up by Wizard and Clerics in the 2014 PHB. Spells already take up so much room!

You get it!

The school can still be there, but they don't need to be the sole basis for the Wizard subclass.

I feel the same way. In my concept 'Huge' is something you can add to your wild shape at later level. Also lets you make giant versions of animals. The template would have a scaling STR with option to add more. The Elephant would probably be a suggestion for the TANK template. Might even let...

I guess if everybody wants a worst game... What is the Druid supposed to turn into at level 15 exactly?! Anyway... For the Beastmasters I think you could just take the 4e approach and make up new stat blocks that include scaling in them. The 4e Beastmasters had stat blocks for bear, boar...

Hmm... if you got 108 guys maybe Water Margin - Wikipedia When I say "it doesn't mean anything" I mean in terms of bringing a certain image to someone who's not familiar with the particularities of D&D. You tell someone who's only a little familiar with fantasy that they can choose between...
