I think the game also needs, Martial Workout. "Do push ups for 20 seconds. Take that as a damage bonus to your next weapon attack."

Come on now. Pull the other one.

When NPCs are built (and monsters are advanced) using the PC rules.

Oh I agree with that - it's much better designed and balanced than 3.x, certainly. I'm still unconvinced. This is part of it. And that's fine.

Several big reasons, all of them gameplay related and some of them also genre related. Magic items aren't inherent to the character. They're campaign dependent. They're DM dependent. You may or may not find them. If they are for sale, it's a complex point buy system for stuff. Every other...

Well, this thread has done more than anything else to un-sell me on 5e, because we're fully down a wormhole where class imbalance isn't worked around, it's actively applauded and even insisted upon. Folks are talking about a "mythic fighter" option. Like, a module to let Fighters be as cool as...

I kind of thought that's why skeptics have been told to wait for the PHB? (Or, DMG.) This isn't an overall design philosophy thing. This is specific complaints. If the feats are bad, isn't that a fair comment? If I'm watching it, after being dissatisfied with the playtest, and hoping it will...

That doesn't sound like a fair assessment, especially if you're hoping the actual releases will be an improvement.

Yeah, I'm more than a little perplexed by the resource balancing, here. If "short rest" abilities should be thought of as "daily, unless you're lucky" resources, any perceived advantage to them disappears. And making them weaker (and they are) because of their refreshability no longer makes...

4e's Meepo was Splug, who featured prominently in my game as a bard and later horde master.

It does but you need to post a challenge of your own!

Sorry to interrupt the edition warring, but I have an important announcement to make. This thread is now the "cool pictures of 80's cartoon heroes thread." http://nebezial.deviantart.com/art/he-man-teaser-style-115891770]He Man![/url] First one to post an awesome Skeletor and a similar...

I think it's fine to keep a campaign flavor, but I try to work in unique things my players want. If all else fails, and what they really want are the mechanical bits more than the story bits, reskinning is a very useful option.

I... What? Who do you think wrote the OP?

I was afraid it looked like process built monsters as opposed to result oriented. Sigh.

Oh, well, next time rather than an actual gameplay concern about paging through books at the table, I'll pick some vague philosophical reason like "Hit Points: How Do They Work?"

Have they, though, with the Flameskull? Why should that be a spellcaster? That's one of the things giving me pause, here.

First off, if there's THAT many monsters with spells, that it would cost $20-$30 more to print a book with some capsule summaries, then ... wow. That would mean two things: (1) you're darn right I want those capsule descriptions right there if that's what you're going to be using for that many...

The only things I can think of are the pretty tired ones of "guy who's so lawful good he's really evil" and "fallen angel turned to wickedness," but there might be more?

My favorites were the Sagard books, honestly. But ... errr ... yeah.
