I see D&D is becoming a parody of itself.

Finally, a real attempt to make a ranger without spells.

Didn't they already do that with 4e?

You are the one that stated the crossover shows confidence in the Magic the Gathering brand. They are so confident in MTG that they seem to be reducing costs everywhere they can such as how they now reduced the prize support for Magic stores for prerelease events and removing direct sales for...

Are you saying Wizard's didn't have confidence in their Magic the Gathering brand for the two decades they've owned D&D and never did crossovers? They are trying to generate more revenue. It's been the growth of D&D that's keeping Wizard's numbers not appearing as bad. We will never know if they...

A growth with the release of Dominaria is expected. They had a 20% drop in Magic the Gathering revenue last quarter. He's not some disgruntled YouTuber, he's a Magic store owner in Florida who is getting burned hard by Wizard's of the Coast decisions such as their choice to use bad cardstock...

Then they are charging for an incomplete product that will likely show up in another product where you will be expected to pay for it all over again. That's even worse.

They are at 12 million players now according to Mark Rosewater. Source That's a 40% drop since 2015. Source. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSxd49zAnvA

Magic sales have been dropping year after year for years now. There's already rumors that Hasbro is starting to look for a buyer for Wizards of the Coast.

Is Magic the Gathering doing so badly that they need to spend time and effort on a D&D crossover at the expense of actual D&D settings?

So Ravnica of all things is getting a hardcover, but not Eberron? Has Wizards of the Coast lost their minds?

I think it's likely they are planning a crunch book that has content for various campaign settings.

I am not sure how you differentiate the two. If a player decided he wanted to climb a cliff, I would set the DC and tell them what skill and ability score to roll, but the DC would be the same no matter which PC initiated the action. Yes.

If something would lower the DC, it would lower the DC. Such as lighting up a darkened room to avoid a trap. Just as players could accidentally avoid it or intentionally avoid it if they are aware of it or are smart enough to come up with a plan to circumvent it. That would depend on the...

An obstacle is there whether it is ran into by the Rogue or another character. I don't make something easier just because some other character stumbled their way into it.

The bonus is largely unnoticeable at low level, but once you get to mid-level and into high level, it becomes broken. You have to create skill check situations to challenge a Rogue with it that will most likely guarantees a failure for any other player character. When it comes to traps, or life...

If there is one thing in 5e I will say I hate with a passion, it's Expertise. That crap should never have made it through any playtest.

I've been getting 4e vibes the more I read about it as well.
