Real weapons don't look as impressive as people think they should, which is why people are always making them as ridiculous as they thought they would be.

It's great that it's not a problem for you! Some people find it dull. Tastes vary. 5E right now is a game that lacks a lot of definition and I find putting different ideas onto how movement can work in different ways to be something interesting. I'd say that the smarter way to do model that...

I think I like the GM Core cover a lot more than the Player Core book. The Player Core looks good but I think I like the original CRB cover more. The GM Core... I dunno, I like how verdant it feels. I feel like a lot of Wayne's artwork has a sort of red tint to it, and the greenness of this...

Why not only flight? I mean, there are a bunch of different kinds of flight, it's more likely to be encountered and is generally a bigger part of the game overall. You are more likely to encounter flying enemies than swimming ones, and typically speaking you are more likely to engage them while...

Oh no, I wasn't implying anything. I just found it fun to compare! :) I'll be honest, I don't think I've ever had ghosts carry multiple weapons. In fact, it's weird to consider a ghost switching a weapon in general for me. Huh. :unsure: lol, see that's where I think you shouldn't generally...

Ah, alright, the fun stuff! I do actually have my monsters drop weapons if they want to quick-switch! It's one of those things my players would call me out on if I didn't. Only a few times, but in special situations. Typically I don't find ammo to be too much of a strain in my games. I...

Let's not put words in my mouth. I think there's something to say about making flying feel at least a bit different because not all flight types are the same. The examples that @tetrasodium has in that 3E chart kind of nails how different things should fly differently and how to do that...

I mean I think swimming is too easy as is, either, but that's just kind of how 5E's movement goes. I mean, not if it requires you to move slowly. Plus I feel like the "Dragon does a strafing run" is a classic image but never actually gets seen in play because there's just no reason to actually...

@tetrasodium No, I understand what you are saying about maneuverability and such. I personally wouldn't mind more detailed flight rules like those because they are more my style: I'm way more into doing that sort of detail for special movement and such to make it feel different. Maybe a new...

I'm not going to say you are wrong, but 6E would definitely have to really break away from 5E to get a Pathfinder-esque movement against it. I am curious as to the amount of people who have "rebranding to a new edition" as a dealbreaker for them.

That's fair, but that's always been a problem with flying in general. Not sure how to really solve that. No, when I say "turn", I mean in regards to changing your movement direction. Facing might be optional, but I'm specifying that you can only change your direction of movement once a turn...

I was largely doing it as a thought experiment, though I don't think adding a few rules is necessarily a problem as much as making things easier on edge cases and making the act itself feel different than just, say, walking on air. Also I don't know what you are talking about with "down". I...

Honestly I'd probably be more excited to see what they do, because if they are just going to go to straight-up 6E then it'd signal to me that they aren't worrying about backwards-compatibility and deviate from what 5E was a bit more. Sadly I think we're a bit too late into the process for that...

I don't have much of a dog in this fight, but I feel like an easier fix would be to have basically two "modes" for flying: Hovering and Soaring. Hovering: You are using most of your downforce to traverse more accurately around. You can move up to half your speed in the air, or you can stay in...

Oh no, I'm talking about the current Resistance mechanic that halves damage. Calling something "Resistance" and then having another mechanic called "Damage Resistance" is confusing. Might be better just to say "Ignore ## damage".

I get that, but I'm only really using the term "Temporary HP" to avoid confusion with the current "Resistance" mechanic. What I'm describing is really closer to classic Damage Resistance.

I mean, the Pally gets plenty of multiclassing normally (at least, the builds I've seen), and Sorcerer is one of the more common picks as far as I know because it syncs up almost as well as the Warlock. Multiclassing isn't without cost, but if you only need one level to get what you need, it's...

I mean, that's not exactly true. You can have armor that levels up; it's just magic armor.

Yes, but what do the majority play? This is a fine view to have, but it ignores that what we've seen is that there are fewer encounters rather than more, which has subsequently unbalanced things towards casters because of decisions made late into the design process of 5E. The point is that it...
