I mean, I get it, and it's probably a balance issue. I guess you could represent the "Tie your camel first, and then put your trust in Allah" approach by getting some levels in Fighter before going Cleric.

If masteries represent skill-at-arms beyond Proficiency, then war clerics as-is either: a) aren't capable of that kind of skill with weapons - in which case, why not? or b) their weapon skills are limited (by their god, I assume?) to only whatever buffs their god (i.e. war domain class...

Weapon masteries/properties really kick things up a notch in terms of setting things up for one or more subsequent attacks against the same target. Fighters get more masteries than anyone else, so they have more ways to do this. I just don't understand why fight-y-oriented subclasses don't get...

Literally one of my favorite movies of all time, but I totally get people not liking it or even can't stand it. I find the pacing and artistry of it mesmerizing.

Replying to my own post because I'm a weirdo. One of the things that struck me abotut 5E early on was how much playing it felt like how I remember playing AD&D 1E felt like. I couldn't explain to you why that is. Maybe it's the complexity level, or the robustness and soundness of the system as...

Sounds like we need to get together for an Abyss watch!

I can't believe I forgot the most important question: has it read and agreed to the forum rules?

Does it look you in the eye when you talk to it?

For fun: whats the 3rd paragraph on page 217 about?

The witch is not dead!

1. How important is the ability to randomly generate vs just make a map manually? I like the idea of randomly generating maps, but by the time I'm done toggling options I could have just drawn something rough, which has the added advantage of making me better at drawing maps, so it's a win-win...

AD&D 1E is the edition I played the most before 5E came out. I have insanely fond memories of those days - but almost no memory of what the rules were like! Maybe there's a lesson to be learned there.

Thanks for saying this; it's why I don't poo-poo Avatar.

Yeah, I had someobody point out to me a long time ago that it looked like I was avoiding drawing hair, and they were right. I was mostly drawing superheroes, and it turns out I was almost exclusively drawing characters whose costumes included full hair coverage!

I'd move the Avatar movies lower, and The Abyss higher. I've seen the first Avatar movie, and maybe made the mistake of not seeing it in 3D when it came out, because I found it mostly trite and dull. Also, as pretty as it is, a lot of what I see are the clever shortcuts Cameron took in...

From Movie Music UK: "Returning to score Season Two is composer Bear McCreary, who in Season One wrote what I believe to be one of the greatest scores in the history of television. ...a dramatically potent, musically compelling, emotionally satisfying, intelligently structured blockbuster..."

The PHB seems really nicely redesigned, but I don't feel the need for anothe PHB. And there are so many good Monster Manual-type resources out there that I don't need to invest in the new MM.

Of the three new core books, this is the one I'm most interested in and most likely to buy.

Honestly, I kind of want proficiencies to just be skills.

Favorite magic item: Folding Boat. Gave one to my group when I was running a few years back, and they found SO MANY uses for it!
