I do agree that Dex is far better for a majority of classes, but lets bring a counterview for those who have access to Heavy Armor and all Weapons: Strength Advantages vs. Dex: * More Damage (Two-Handed Weapons) * Better Armor (+1 with Heavy Armor compared to the other types) * Can use far more...

I'm surprised that the Storm Sorcerer don't get additional Spells. What does he get instead?

All the power lies in the Subclasses, which are very interesting, but the first two level are extremely weak. On the first level his only special Ability is a non-combat situational one, while only having mediocre stats (same as cleric but without having spellcasting). At second level he gets...

Investigation for Disable Trap was mentioned a few times, but this should actually be a roll with the Thief Tool Proficiency. :P I like the general Skill-System of 5E, but the Skills themselves have to much overlap or are sometimes not clear. Perception vs. Investigation is always confusing (I...

Most Session I played only have 1 or 2 fights! These Adventures are often Exploration based, so there are even multible long rests between the fights. Dungeons are very rare and if it is a combat-focused Session (infiltrate and destroy this orc-lair) is still don't have more than 3-4 Fights. Of...

Damnit, how could I have forgotten the Proficiency! :) One of the best new features. All tests are a simple ability roll (d20+Ability mod). If you are proficent in the action (weapon, skill, etc.) then you add the profiecincy bonus, which is the same for everything.

It's basically 3E but extremely streamlined (the Starter Set and the PDF have more or less the complete Rules!). Here a few key changes: * Bounded accuracy: Your bonuses (attack, stats,..), except HP and Damage increase very slowly. So you can use a far bigger Range of Monsters vs. your Heroes...

Dragonborn 5 Dwarf 23 Eladrin 2 Elf 13 Gnome 9 (-3) Half-elf 25 Half-orc 22 Halfling 20 Human 28 (+1) Tiefling 12 Nearly upvoted the Dragonborn, but while I love the concept I do not like the mechanical Implementation in 5E. The Human is superb. The normal Version is great for Newcomers...

I think the fact that you cannot crit is more than compensated by the fact that save-spells can be cast in Close Combat, ignore Cover and many other Effects that give Disadvantage.

Also, the Warlock is now on 12 ;)

You forgot to change the Stats of the Fighter (see Post 26). :P

Barbarian 18 Bard 21 Cleric 21 Druid 20 Fighter 22 Ranger 18 Rogue 23 Monk 11 Paladin 16 Wizard 18 Sorcerer 17 Warlock 9 ---- Warlock +1, Sorcerer -3 I think that the Warlock is what the Sorcerer should have been, a very different take on the Wizard.

I dislike in-combat healing more and more in the last years and 5E is not even the worst offender here. So I fully understand your frustration! -) You could use the optional "Injury" Rules from the DMG (page 272). So they fear becoming reduced to 0 HP again and start either receiving Healing...

It falls under the Cover Rule. The other Players might give the enemies Cover if they stand between you and your target and since the Feat lets you ignore Cover, it lets you shoot into a melee without worring where anyone stand exactly. But I never heard that this is a problemtic Part of the...

Don't worry other melee Attackers can be quite good too. I play a 6th Level Valor Bard and I am quite fine in melee combat. I have AC 18 with non-magical Breastplate and Shield, do 1d8+4 damage (+1 Rapier) with 2 Attacks per Round and as bonus Action I can Inspire or Heal. He has nearly no...

On Page 139 you have the general Rules for the different Kinds of Magic Items, like Scrolls or Rings. Here it is written that everyone can use a scroll if you can read. But specific Items can break these Rules. For Example some Weapons can only be wielded by a certain Class or Alignment and...

That's what I thought too, but thats sadly wrong. Everone can use Scolls ... except Spell-Scrolls, which have to be on your class-spell list (Page 200). So everyone could use a "Scroll of Protection", but Scroll with the Spell Cure Wounds could only be cast by Characters with Cure Wounds on...

Hackmaster, Shadowrun or the new Dark Eye? ;) Jokes aside, I do thing that it looks quite interesting and I like that they went for higher levels. :)

Dont forget to add the mighty Poo! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0w5neFPat1w

So they are making a new Edition for the old Edition, where they just made a Deluxe Edition, while still developing the NEW Edition (Requiem) which also just got a new Edition. Man thats confusing! :P
