    D&D 5E (2014) How many fans want a 5E Warlord?

    So, let's recap: Warlord inspirational healing is consistent with the games definition of Hit Points. Warlord inspirational healing is consistent with real-world examples. Warlord inspirational healing is an old and common trope in fiction. Even if Warlord healing wasn't consistent with...

    D&D 5E (2014) How many fans want a 5E Warlord?

    What do I have to do? Go do the Google search for you? Go dig up case after case after case? All so y'all can give yet another illogical argument to justify exclusion? If I posted links to a hundred such cases, would it ever be enough? It happens. Yes, it's extremely rare, but it happens...

    D&D 5E (2014) How many fans want a 5E Warlord?

    While it mostly makes sense in the context of how inspirational healing works, I don't think it's a feasible addition to the game. Having a Warlord works best if it's just a drop-in class - one which people can ignore as much as they want. It's probably the only way it can work. But having to...

    D&D 5E (2014) How many fans want a 5E Warlord?

    So that's the argument now? That's the only argument left? That since it's a corner case we should disregard it? ALL of D&D is a corner case. The things that D&D characters do, the abilities that classes, races, and skills present are all corner cases. They're almost universally, things...

    The article doesn't give the whole story so you consider the whole incident as suspicious? Yeah, that's not faulty logic at all... And a clot doesn't have to cause a heart attack or stroke. It could just as well have been a pulmonary embolism. Regardless, any of those things can cause a coma...

    For those still thinking that inspirational recovery is just a myth, that it's just a trope and could never affect an unconscious person, read this timely article: Mom_awakens_from_coma_after_she_hears_her_baby_crying. Hmmmm...:hmm:

    D&D 5E (2014) How many fans want a 5E Warlord?

    No. However, going into the other aspects here would take far too long and derail the thread. I know the thread is long, but the Warlording the fighter thread goes into this really well. Cheers.:)

    D&D 5E (2014) How many fans want a 5E Warlord?

    Edition Warring requires intent; intent to attack another edition. Not liking Warlord healing in and of itself, including using the phrase yelling wounds closed, is not /absolute/ evidence of Edition Warring. We all can see that someone saying yelling wounds closed is a trigger for you. I get...

    D&D 5E (2014) What to do with DM issues?

    DM's can't use a monster incorrectly. It's simply not possible. If they change a monster, it IS being used correctly. It's not just their prerogative to do so, but it's their responsibility to tailor encounters as they see the need to - and yes, that includes changing or modifying monsters...

    Healing Cantrip

    I like it. It's very Wheel of Time-ish. The only criticism I see is about bookkeeping. The character sheets (at least the official ones) aren't really set up for recording both your original maximum hit points and your current maximum hit points. It could cause confusion and angst...

    D&D 5E (2014) How many fans want a 5E Warlord?

    You make the assumption that it's only 4E fans that want a Warlord. That's an incorrect assumption.

    D&D 5E (2014) How many fans want a 5E Warlord?

    Depends on what you mean by Damage. 5E's official definition of Hit Points includes far more than just physical damage. Can one's Mental Durability be damaged? Yes - and that's an official component of Hit Points. Can one's Will to Live be damaged? Most certainly - and that's also an...

    D&D 5E (2014) How many fans want a 5E Warlord?

    Really? And here I thought it was free in UA. I must have a special computer that gives me anything I want online for free. Next stop: Amazon!!!;) Again: Really? As soon as they get to an adventure path that uses Psionics - something I think is safe to say is a matter of when and not if -...

    D&D 5E (2014) How many fans want a 5E Warlord?

    Somehow I think your evaluation of the way Mearls and Company view their business is seriously flawed. Otherwise, how do you explain their work on Psionicists and Rangers? Those are being designed for, and use feedback from, those who are already bought in on 5E.:erm:

    D&D 5E (2014) How many fans want a 5E Warlord?

    Bluenose is spot on. Also, not only would one need to explain sleeping an arm back on, but one has to acknowledge that if characters are getting arms chopped off in-game, then the game being played has moved beyond the rules of the game. Nowhere does the definition of Hit Points express that...

    D&D 5E (2014) Rules modules for 5E?

    No tactical module yet, but they did make a large-scale battle module. Other than the modules in the DMG, I think Unearthed Arcana is going to be the vehicle by which they release any modules. Other than that, third party publishers seem to already be working to fill the gap; like ENSider...
