    I'm Sick Of...(D&D tropes that you can do without)

    We Humans are horny little buggers aren't we? We'll mate with just about anything. ;)

    D&D 5E (2014) Magic Items in D&D Next

    I think I can agree that there should be some form of guidelines as to how to adjust encounters based on the + of the weapon. Back in the 1e days we just winged it because there were no guidelines and things usually worked out ok. But guidelines would definitely have helped especially the...

    I'm Sick Of...(D&D tropes that you can do without)

    One of my pet peaves: The color of the dragon tells you everything you need to know about the dragon. Red dragon? Oh well he's Chaotic Evil and breathes fire. Gold? He's Lawful Good and he breathes fire and gas. The all chromatic dragons are evil and all metallic dragons are good trope is...

    Google Statistics on the Edition Wars: D&D & Pathfinder [updated]

    If you have DDI subscription on the WorC site yes. Otherwise not so much. And it's UI leaves a lot to be desired. But it has pretty much anything 4e has put out

    Losing Interest in the D&D Next Playtest?

    My group played 2 sessions, one at 1st level and one at 2nd level. We enjoyed both sessions (some of us more than others) we gave our feedback and then agreed that that was all we wanted to do with the play test. So while, yes I've lost interest in the play test, I have not lost interest in...

    D&D 5E (2014) Magic Items in D&D Next

    This may be true with what we know so far, but that assumes the attacks never go up at all. I believe that is has been said that with the flat math attacks will not go up much, they'll just do more damage. That doesn't mean they'll never go up, just slower. And who knows what other tricks a high...

    Advantage and Disadvantage stacking

    I agree. This is the only way I would like to see stacking. Any other way is just too counter intuitive and would complicate things too much.

    Question about the News Forum...

    Since it's a 4e product, I would post it in the 4e forum, maybe with a follow up PM to Morrus asking him to move it to the news forum. I'm pretty sure the news forum is restricted to certain posters. My 2cp. (And it looks interesting BTW).

    Playtest Update

    Disclaimer: I'm going to make up some numbers here to illustrate my point so don't take them to heart. What if in addition to the 60%, what if, say 20% said I would like it if you had more tactical play. Then by introducing the tactical module they may get those 20%. Now they've got 80%. Looks...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Skills - Why I Think a Defined Skill List Would Be Better

    I like this idea for perception. It does make more sense that streetwise should be more useful as a perception check in a city and wilderness lore used in the wild. Searching for that forbidden book of elder gods in the guild archives? Make a perception check with forbidden lore! After all...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why the Bard Could Be the Best Class in D&DNext

    One of my first 3e characters was a bard. Even though I'm usually not comfortable in a support role I loved my bard. He always seemed to be involved in everything. He could scout with the rouge, buff the combatants in a fight and still be a fair combatant in his own right, he had skills for...

    Playtest Update

    That would be fine if you need to roll a d20. What if your a wizard who casts a spell that doesn't require a roll? What if he rogue desires to use his action to hide. Sure, he has disadvantage but he can't roll lower than a "10" no matter what, so that doesn't hurt as much. You could say that...

    Playtest Update

    But wouldn't that be the case with any mechanic introduced? Does it really take that much extra time to roll two dice? The same could be said for flanking, higher elevation, cover etc. Players will always look for something to give them an edge. And frankly I don't recall seeing hundreds of...

    Not a problem. It took me a good 15 minutes to find it for you and I've done before for myself. It's very well hidden.

    Advantage and Disadvantage stacking

    The system as it stands now achieved the goal that was wanted: Simplicity. Are their cases that don't make sense? Sure. Find me a system that doesn't have problems. Is this fixable? Absolutely. There have been many examples in this thread. But IMO it should not be core. Because any system or...

    Ranger and Fighting Styles

    I would like it if the ranger was more like the 1e ranger and was good with all weapons while the fighter is great with all. The ranger should focus on favored enemies (whether that is giant class or off a list etc.) or even favored terrain, and be good with stealth, nature lore, survival etc...

    Name Spelled Incorrectly

    Well Satellie 5, I believe the best way to do this it is to cast "Summon Admin"! Let's see if I can get his right: *Ahem* I summon thee mighty Admin Morrus, Piratecat, and/or Plane Sailing! Please help our tired and lead fingered noobie member. :D Sorry, but I'm feeling silly at the...

    Advantage and Disadvantage stacking

    If I'm understanding what you mean correctly, I could get behind advantages and disadvantages canceling each other on a one to one basis. So in your example, you would be left with one advantage (which would still be one extra d20). This makes more sense to me than multiple advantages and/or...
