    D&D 5E (2014) The Paladin excerpt

    Am I the only one that cringed and then face palmed over the half-orc paladin?

    D&D 5E (2014) So when do you think the PDFs will go on sale? (Speculation)

    I am wondering if they even plan to sell a PDF version of the books or if they plan to have their own format of the books in Morningstar. I personally have always wanted PDF versions of books that are specifically formatted for 4:3, 16:9, and 16:10 screens instead of just taking the books and...

    D&D 5E (2014) "Evil" options limited to the DMG?

    Necromancy probably should have been put in the DMG as well.

    D&D 5E (2014) A bard walks into a bar

    Every class gets an increase in power with the later books. It isn't something exclusive to the bard. You need to compare the bard running around with the Sublime Chord to other classes running around with prestige classes from the later books.

    D&D 5E (2014) Guiding Bolt too good for a level 1 cleric spell?

    I disagree. The majority of the damage, especially at low level, are from cantrips and the wizard is simply better in that area. Also, when facing more than one opponent, the wizard's damage output increases a lot.

    D&D 5E (2014) A bard walks into a bar

    Some obscure feat from the Dragon Magic book, something I didn't even own, and a prestige class to patch over they didn't even get 9th level spells. That shows some real great class design there. If you start throwing in those other books, every class got much more powerful feats and prestige...

    D&D 5E (2014) A bard walks into a bar

    The 2e bard was basically a hodge-podge of thief abilities and wizard spells. When they finally got their spells, they progressed faster than a wizard which was nice for a few levels since their experience requirement was much lower. However, they couldn't even wear the armor they were...

    I'm happy that we are finally getting a good bard class.

    D&D 5E (2014) It's the Sorcerer!

    Nope, I don't bother with the leaked alpha. It's in the final playtest which had multiclassing and the mage class. It's not dead in the water. Low level spells are still effective at high level considering they scale based on what level spell slot you use. It's just not something that benefits...

    D&D 5E (2014) It's the Sorcerer!

    It's in the multiclass spellcasting section of the last playtest packet under Spells Known and Prepared. It even gives an example of a Bard 4 / Mage 3 multiclass where the bard only knows two cantrips and three 1st level spells and says the mage can have 2nd level spells.

    D&D 5E (2014) Speculating about the future of the D&D industry/community in a post-5E world

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Dungeons_%26_Dragons_video_games We are talking about brand strength, not just popularity of an RPG based on a flawed ICv2 report. Brand strength determines how easily Pathfinder can adapt in a 5e era. Pathfinder just doesn't have the brand strength of even...

    D&D 5E (2014) It's the Sorcerer!

    That's not how it works when multiclassing if you follow the last playtest. It specifically states that you determine the spells you know and can prepare separately for each class. The only benefit you get is that you can cast the low level spells you do know in higher level spell slots.

    D&D 5E (2014) It's the Sorcerer!

    I apologize then, I assumed you were making that statement based off of knowledge of what a high level sorcerer and low level bard can do. You do know that while you will gain some more spells known, they will only be level 1 or 2 bard spells? Seems ridiculous to give up everything a high...

    D&D 5E (2014) It's the Sorcerer!

    No one will counter his ridiculous statement because he is discussing a February alpha packet that he should never have had and definitely should never discuss on a forum.

    D&D 5E (2014) Switching from Pathfinder to 5E

    Nope. Reach is covered on page 73 under Melee Attacks and some weapons have the property 'Reach' which adds 5 feet to an attack.

    D&D 5E (2014) Speculating about the future of the D&D industry/community in a post-5E world

    Wow, that's a seriously flawed leap of logic. I am not even sure where to begin. How many fallacies are in your post? An existential fallacy, fallacy of composition, fallacy of division, begging the question, circular reasoning, and confirmation bias. Am I missing some?

    D&D 5E (2014) Speculating about the future of the D&D industry/community in a post-5E world

    The first D&D game was released in 1975, one year after the original boxed set came out. It was followed by another game released a year later, and another the year after that. Shadowrun was released in 1989, it had its first video game by 1993. Vampire the Masquerade was released in 1991 and...
