I totally understand that argument. The banning is still easier because I relate 'easier' to the fact that you have just to say 'no teleport in my game' you can give a reason or not probably a reason is better if you know your group argues a lot. If you have a group that argues a lot than...

If you are talking about me. I tend to play fighters or similar chars. Last time I played a spellcaster was somewhere at the beginning of 3E and not for long. Even though I like teleport I worry about caster balance. And I can't understand that you can't accept/understand that there are people...

I totally agree with the idea to print multiple versions of teleport in different modules. As I said in a previous post, you could put a disclaimer besides spells that warn DMs that this spell might create a problem for their specific game(-type). The thing I don't understand is that people...

I find a 6s round not more or less realistic than a 1 minute round. But I like the 6s round better because the number of active actions performed in the 1 minute round made it feel rather 'empty'. And 1 minute rounds were lacking the feeling of a fast paced fight, YMMV.

He might not miss it or he might miss it - who knows. Kowing other peoples expectations is a difficult thing. Except that teleport has usually more parameters than just transport from a to b. Like what you can bring along or chances for failure or what must be known about the destination. If...

Having the spell and just banning it if it disturbs your game seems like a no brainer to me. I highly advocate that WotC adds some disclaimers to certain spells to warn DMs that they might not work in certain campaign types. Interesting for me is that you still avoid a discussion about scry and...

I've got the feeling that one of the most reccuring counter-argument against teleport is 'scry-buff-teleport'. Ok, I think most of us heard that. As I already said: a) don't use the nearly unrestricted 3E version as basis, add a restriction like, you had to be at the destination in person...

You play a low magic setting, just ban Teleport -done. It is easier to ban a single spell than to require all other DMs/players to invent it on their own just because it does not fit your specific campaign. The new 5E teleport could have more restrictions than its 3E version. Some uses could be...

I rather have a less charismatic player be able to play a character that is somewhat out of his league than having the charismatic player always doing exceptionally well in social encounters. Because if the charismatic player wants to he can put points in the relevant skill and his char ist up...

One of the major problems was scry > teleport > X. I would require for a longrange teleport to work that, the caster has to either personally (*1) visit the site he wants to teleport to or know the code phrase for a teleportation circle/portal at the target location. Casting times for long...

I like the idea, ranging from simple extra damage dice (even just adding the static average of all dice as someone suggested - even more simple) to complex 'maneuvers'. This sounds entertaining to play. I hope we see some of those options in the next Playtest Rules. I agree they didn't define...

I have to agree the middleground between AS&BMX is far more reasonable than one of the extremes. At the same time I think the game should fix the problem that one player can build a char that is indeed a jack-of-all-trades. At least if he can perform all of those activities on the same level as...

a) I don't know if your idea is really bad I just think it adds more book keeping. And I don't want more book keeping, my guess would be others as well. Secondly, I prefer a less gritty style for my campaigns or when I play. b) The 5/15MWD is a problem worth fixing or at least worth giving...

So the question at hand is: What do you want in the core rules 'realism' or 'wahoo'? I totally understand that some are saying, D&D had never over the top action outside of magical powers. Therefore, the core should be rather 'realistic' like using choke points for tactical advantage. Others...

I chose 'scaled capped'. I like to see some improvement of my char reflected in the ability scores. But I don't like being railroaded to certain feats, that would be as awful as the current weapon focus feats, IMO. I could have chosen 'uncapped' as well because in most cases there is a hard cap...

There is nothing wrong with using choke points, IMO. One thing would annoy me tremendously if by moving you could not really attack well (like 3E BAB iterative attack users) b/c then no choke point means you will be more than useless, your damage output will suck and you can't really protect...

Could be a new topic. Playstyles: definitions. I think we can discuss the question at hand w/o defining a list of playstyles b/c the question is rather vague itself and can be answered in a general way. Take a look at the two posts before your own as an example.

I must be honest I first thought after reading your threat title you wanted to discuss the notion of playing a supporter (buffer/debuffer) character. Reading skills... a) Support, for me, means that the RAW support the playstyle. b) All options that enable players/DMs additions to RAW are not...

I do not know how you envision the new weapon and armor spec. but I would really greatly dislike it if it was anything like the previous versions. Instead of being virtually locked eternally to a weapon(group) now you would be locked to an armor type as well. For weapon related spec. I would...

That is not the same as a fighter specialising in a weapon (2/3E) or a weapon group (4E). A cleric can use any non-domain spell however he wishes and if the spell is not total crap he will be effective. Actually his domain spells are more like some added bonus (3E) whereas the fighter's spec...
