I understand limiting it based on roleplaying and descriptions - for the most part. It's seriously ripe for abuse based simply on "but I said I was doing X...". It can turn into a game of Calvin-ball real quick. But I'm getting the impression that you don't want players "seeking" advantage at...

Or it could be a spy... A spider while a prisoner of the Drow? I'd be thinking that nothing good is going to come from this. But I like your Drizzt's Web scenario.;)

All this time, I thought my comp professor coined that...:p

I think it's just a matter of time before they bring back Ravenloft. Although at the pace they are releasing campaigns/settings, it could be a few years before they do so. I don't so much think they need to rewrite the setting to fit 5E as much as they need to introduce some Ravenloft specific...

Do you view the Advantage/Disadvantage mechanic as something to be reserved for exceptional situations, or intended to be a common tool to replace and simplify tracking of multiple bonuses/penalties? While working on ideas for the Warlord and reading others ideas, I've seen a significant...

Interesting; and Thanks for your answer. I wonder if there's a transcript around anywhere? (Am I correct that you heard this at GenCon 2014? Or was it this last August 2015?) I find Mearls saying that interesting because it really is contradictory to the guidance in the DMG. I wonder if he's...

I've seen this said a lot, and by a lot of different people (so not picking on you specifically, Redhammer), but I'm curious: Where did this idea come from? The rules simply do not say, that Advantage should be reserved for exceptional circumstances. In fact, the DMG characterizes it as being...

This is the way I've always envisioned it too. And force damage tastes a little bitter and a bit nutty - with overtones of oak, vanilla and cinnamon.

I don't understand what you're trying to communicate as concerns my question/post. Would you be so kind as to explain it please? ChrisCarlson admcewen

Why? How is this worse than any other class premise?

The answer is Yes. "Listen to me, young Henry. I've been one of the greatest military leaders of my time. I was trained by the greatest military leader of his time. I've had passed down to me through an unbroken chain, the military knowledge of Ancient Rome, Charlemagne, and William the...

For me, neither the PHB Ranger, or either UA Rangers, have gotten it right yet (so I didn't vote for either option). There are aspects of each though, that I do like. I seem to be in the minority, but I like the 2d6 Hit Points and Ambuscade of the latest UA iteration. I think those fit the...

I don't see it as the Fighter is a dumb fighter stereotype - I just see it as they've focused on a different area of combat. Something like this:

I guess the answer to that would depend upon whether there is a defined 5E system paradigm, and whether it is an objective fact that there's no room for expanding it - that is, assuming it needs to be expanded for a Warlord to fit. Can you sum up the 5E system paradigm? Can you objectively...

I agree. Any potential "I'm-in-charge" aspect, if even present, resides only in the realm of roleplaying choice and in the metagame. Mechanically, the only effect on the group of having a Leader character is either a few group bonuses, or at the worst a neutral result. At worst the Warlord is...

Sarah Connor displaying her burgeoning "Warlord" abilities...and Yes, I want a different name also. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N71d7BF1fZ4

Sure, but it's just a temporary thing, maybe one round; that is unless the player of the Warlord continues to beat their head against a wall. I'm betting that more than likely, players will probably tell the Warlord's player up front they aren't going to follow any of their guidance, and the...
