I have literally made and playtested my own systems - don't call me lazy that way. And when I'm making my systems I'm more than happy to do that work. But when I buy a ready made system literally the thing I am paying for is functional rules I don't have to worry about. If I wanted to make the...

And this is a blatant strawman. I didn't write your argument off with a strawman - I wrote it of AS a strawman. That you are the one making strawman arguments.

Likewise. I think it horrible - and it doesn't even really add stakes to situations.

So do I which is why I am going to be more explicit. When you insert the word "completely" into there you are as far as I can tell making a strawman' argument. And I pointed this out in my reply to you. I just didn't use the explicit word strawman. And even if you aren't making a direct...

I literally gave a citation - the text of the relevant Plane Shift spells. And plane shifting has emphatically changed. If you want a reference to the Astral Plane in specific then another spell that has changed is Astral Projection. In the 3.5 version (which I don't think was changed from 3.0)...

The question here is whether the Great Wheel by definition contains all possible Outer Planes. I believe the Outlands still exist and are part of the outer planes, therefore the sixteen planes of the Great Wheel are the sixteen prioritised and well known alignment-planes rather than a total...

At this point you're running hard into Godel's theorem. It is impossible to be provably complete. And I'm not saying that we can't set boundaries. Is an island "connected to" the sea or "located within" the sea? I'd say the answer to both can be yes. What you have that is demonstrably true is...

But. When A says light is a particle and B says it is a wave both are right. When either says they are 100% correct they are wrong. Because reality is too big for either of them. Of course you can cherry pick cases where people are wrong - but there are times when they can both be right. And it...

Ahhh, Modernists. Person A looks at location X and says "Its name is Everest.", Person B says "Its name is Chomolungma", and Person C says its name is "Sagarmatha." All three of them are right. An American says "We should drive on the right" and a Brit says "We drive on the left". Both are...

You missed us metamodernists out both in the real world and your example! 4: Reality exists and it is completely possible to be utterly wrong about it. As for being right? Understanding is a map and not the territory and reflects a fraction of what is weighted to whatever the person or group...

The thing that's irritating me about the more extreme version of the change is that I consider both prime material and fey (and to a lesser extent Shadowfell) goblins to be legit for different types of story.

This - and the old PDK could definitely do with Elements Monk, GOOlock, or Feylock level help.

Can't agree thanks to the OTT light armour - and it doesn't feel at all like a driving oath in the way the other oaths do. Spellfire sorcery is honestly fine - and looks like a good functional alternative to the doesn't-work-in-actual-play Divine Soul Sorcerer especially if you think opening up...

My pet hate is the "Noble Genie Paladin". Genies aren't ideals, they are patrons - warlock style. Which isn't to say you can't do an Oath of Fealty (we already have Oath of the Crown). But the tenets are kinda random and the +Cha in light armour mechanic is not it.

There is nothing more wrong with "The Order of the Purple Dragon" than "The Order of the Red Lion" in the lore. However. Making the Order of the Purple Dragon one of only five subclasses for the entire fighter class currently in D&D 2024 or even one of only ten (and I think only four when it...

The thing is what the PDK invites greater exploration into is other, more interesting settings. Ones which don't promise interesting things and then deliver the banal that doesn't live up to the billing. The Knights of the Purple Dragon are fine as a part of the lore, no more remarkable than...

5e "practical cosmology" is 4e cosmology with a coat of Great Wheel paint and a different 2d projection of an at least 4d space (and no 2d projection of 4d measures up). The Feywild and Shadowfell are precisely where you would expect and are the important two. The Elemental Planes float within...

I can't see what your Invocations are there. Also you seem to have a Cha of 14 for a warlock? (I also don't rate Eldritch Smite; Armour of Agathys does about as much damage and gives you temp hp). And the Jump At Will invocation is awesome.

Is Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay a legitimate answer for halflings, dwarves, and high, dark, and wood elves? (Old school WFRP at that in many cases - especially for humans) If not, and counting the Nentir Vale/PoLand as not detailed enough it's going to be Eberron or Exandria in almost every case.
