Looking at what I currently see (which I know has been changed in the final PH), you cannot take more than one short rest in a row. Sent out a couple of tweets to mearls and wizards to see if they want to clarify. MC'ing in 5E to me is similar to hybrid characters in 4E / gestalt...

I think the best part is that staring at the 7 PCs that I have that are single class, straight 10 levels, none of them being fighter or wizard, 6 of them would wipe the floor with his "optimized" PC mathematically speaking. :D (We do have one full healbot cleric). Those attribute...

Sorry, thinking of damage potential. :D

Hrrmmmmmmm let's see what I can divine from the character sheet.... Prof bonus starts at +2, and goes up to +3 at level 5. Ability boost is +2 at 4th level Humies have +1 to all stats assuming arrays didn't change Looks like Chainmail has an AC of 16, +1 from defense gives 17. Fighters get...

In a 6-7 person group; no cleric from levels 1-7, healing (from the bard) has worked out ranger has kept the party up A-OK. Clerics are good at healing if they take the right domains, but not necessary at all.

But greataxes went to 2d6+2!

Check the latest playtest materials; it's been nerfed to a 10 minute training montage and it lasts 1 hour per class level now.

<Sigh> guess I should just leak the whole race then. I'll have to do that when I get home. :D

Two of the 12 year olds I run 5E with use sorcerers (unsurprisingly, they both use wild mages), and I don't have to particularly hand hold them. They seem to be the "choose your own difficulty" of the magic classes in terms of complexity, IMO.

Heh, just realized you are right. Our barbarian is going to be such a sad panda. :D

I'm excited because every game I'm running, I get to have a conversation before the game starts about what kind of game we want, and thus, what rules we want to do. My little kids game is very rules light (no opportunity attacks, no feats, really simplistic) vs my work game where we are all...

From my understanding, this has more to do with scaling things slowly rather than any long term neglect of non American areas. I think they want to work out the kinks the first year while slowly staffing up / finding volunteers to run things internationally. I suspect in two years it will have...

Reactions are pretty important (and also only 1/round IIRC), and the move towards bonus actions containing many of the "additional" attacks means that you are giving up a lot to use that secondary attack. Also, if you have a ten foot weapon, and they run in to 5 foot melee, I am assuming they...

Uhhhh slow down there; wait till you see polearm master before you jump on the bandwagon. It's good, but by all means, not that good. The polearm user in our game has no intention of taking it.

If I didn't know that they'd all cry at trying to keep updates going at that pace, I'd agree with you. :D Most of them would hate that idea because it means they wouldn't get to go do their own side stuff for D&D, which is why they don't want to go down that route. :D EDIT: Booo I was wrong...

Doubtful; what I suspect they will do is make sure nothing is super broken, as well as use the feedback to create new alternate systems they can stick into the PDF for players who do want to change. I want to focus on a really, REALLY important quote "#dnd will be more of a living game and a...

Yeah; it depends how Brutal exactly works. If it comes down straight brutal 2 (IE, reroll all 1s and 2s on damage dice), then that's ridiculous for any 2d6 weapon. If it's "reroll once" or "reroll only one die", then it becomes a little better for the axe. Or if it's "if you roll a 1 or below...

As one of the people here who has done such a thing; I would not worry as much about the difference. While the 1d12 vs 2d6 thing sort of annoys me in that the latter does seem better in most cases (though the more iconic combinations do come closer than I expected due to...stuff.), so far it...

Haha, don't be so sure. ;)

More or less. Way I've always been ruling it is that Extra Attack means that by taking the Attack Action, you get two attacks. So if Dual Wielding were a bonus action, you'd get 3 attacks if you used your bonus action. If Dual Wielding is just "when you take an attack action, if you have a...
