    D&D 5E (2014) 5e's new gender policy - is it attracting new players?

    The one that decides what direct is forbidden is the person that owns the space. When they tell me to shut up, I'll shut up and maybe because we are letting normally silenced voices be heard I'll actually learn something. I can attest, this works. I've walked into spaces with the whole you...

    D&D 5E (2014) What is a Warlord [No, really, I don't know.]

    Can we also talk about the fact that most combats don't last more than like 3 rounds. Adding more attacks to your side by key members (rogue, ranger, paladin) will reduce that number of rounds even more. Especially if you can add multiple actions more frequently than the bm already can.

    D&D 5E (2014) What is a Warlord [No, really, I don't know.]

    Uh the fighter with multiple attacks and multiple uses of commanding strike can grant multiple actions in a turn. A bm with 3 attacks can swing three times and attach a superiority die to every one of those attacks. It just so happens that alphas out all their resources.

    D&D 5E (2014) I don't actually get the opposition for the warlord... or rather the opposition to the concept.

    Unfortunately for you they have to be as smashy and invincible as fighters in this edition. Actually more precisely they have to be able to be run solo, like all of the other classes and builds (that aren't specifically built for uselessness via terrible spell selection) are able to.

    D&D 5E (2014) I don't actually get the opposition for the warlord... or rather the opposition to the concept.

    You are still talking about exact mechanical implementations of concepts that have existed and still do exist in the game. You even admit that the concepts have been there. You just happened to like the mechanical expression of it that was the 4e warlord.

    I'm trying my hand on the warlord home brew. I should hopefully have a draft by the end of the week.

    I'm sorry but what concept or concepts does it make available that are not currently available in 5e, or were not available before it existed?

    D&D 5E (2014) I don't actually get the opposition for the warlord... or rather the opposition to the concept.

    I think my only issue with warlords really comes from an almost purely mechanical place. It's really hard to make the warlord because the extent of features wished for, and the level by which those capabilities are required to exist by is unreasonable in almost all cases. As it stands it seems...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e's new gender policy - is it attracting new players?

    I'm not saying anyone has to do it. I was merely stating a manor of including it should someone wish to. Romantic relationships haven't really entered into my home games too much, mainly because most of us are adults that are either married or engaged, and none of us feels like pretending we...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e's new gender policy - is it attracting new players?

    Yes you are entirely allowed to say it. However I am allowed to tell you that you are a d-bag for saying it. I'm also allowed to not listen, and I'm allowed to advisel others not to listen to you either, because the whole of your message concerning a particular topic is wholely without...

    This is very much why I'm down with the slower releases and lower amount of crunch. Not just that but after a long enough time that lower quality content will flow into the game no matter how much I try to control what my players are bringing to the table. You can only crush their hopes of...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e's new gender policy - is it attracting new players?

    Generally I'd toss it in as a non main point. Have an NPC who's homosexual and then have their significant other become relevant. Don't put a big arrow on the gay thing, insert the detail of getting from one npc to the other then keep walking right past it. Heck startup quests of save my...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e's new gender policy - is it attracting new players?

    Your number two is just flat wrong. The best opinions don't naturally rise to the top in all situations. Mainly because the interpretation of the best opinion is subjective. That's why apartheids happen, because sometimes in the larger region the interpretation of the best idea is abhorrently...

    Not sure I agree with your entire comment here however I do like one point. Rangers shouldn't ever be the ones needing rest (outside of being badly injured of course). But sure where to go with that but I like it. It sounds rangerish. He gets the party to a spot starts them up with a camp...

    How badly did you fail? Was it a good forgery, but the guard happened to be really good about seeing the forgery? Was it like the character got a 21 on his forgery check but the guard managed to get the 21 investigation to notice the forgery? My assumption being that the player wouldn't...

    I rarely have failed checks that lead directly to combat.

    D&D 5E (2014) Why I believe these survey's are worthless but not useless?

    I know right. If we're going to entirely ruin our company, our careers, and a product line that's been bringing joy to ours and our friends lives, as well as millions of others for decades, we better make sure we pay to do it.
