    D&D 5E (2014) "Damage on a miss" poll.

    What does Mearls have to gain by spinning it as testing well? Is he secretly holding a grudge against you, FS and a few others?

    D&D 5E (2014) I just don't buy the reasoning behind "damage on a miss".

    You're hinging your entire argument on a goofy, corner premise, a good sign you read something somewhere and are being disingenuous about your knowledge of the system.

    D&D 5E (2014) "Damage on a miss" poll.

    Mearls said it's testing well. He has the data.

    D&D 5E (2014) I just don't buy the reasoning behind "damage on a miss".

    No, your not knowing the rules means you don't know the rules. The Fireball "rule" you are hinging your argument on is stupid, buut then what else should I expect.

    D&D 5E (2014) I just don't buy the reasoning behind "damage on a miss".

    Again, if you need a rule to tell you a giant ball of flame sets extraneous objects on fire, that says more about you than the rule. The fact they used errata because people wanted clarification is ridiculous. Unless you have armored toilet paper with wards, it's burning when a fireball hits it.

    D&D 5E (2014) I just don't buy the reasoning behind "damage on a miss".

    Wait, you need an explicit rule to tell you that a giant ball of flame can set combustable items on fire?

    D&D 5E (2014) I just don't buy the reasoning behind "damage on a miss".

    You can play the game with nothing but the PHB1 even. That said, your level of ignorance about the system is at a level that you either don't even know the PHB1 or you're willfully not acknowledging what it says.

    D&D 5E (2014) "Damage on a miss" poll.

    So the much larger, better sample shows less than a biased, small-sample poll? Do you have any idea how ridiculous that sounds?

    1. I'm calling out you playing 4E "for years" if you "couldn't stand it". Your lack of knowledge with the system strongly indicates you're not being genuine and your rants would indicate you would not tolerate playing it. I'm sure you're also a ninja astrophysicist with a hobby degree in...

    D&D 5E (2014) "Damage on a miss" poll.

    Only if those "listening" aren't very good at data analysis. What you don't realize is you're in what's called the margin. Your views aren't "mainstream" or moderate. Message boards are a bit larger group but still within the margin also, and the unscientific polls on them mean nothing. That's...

    D&D 4E messy's 4e newbie questions thread

    Cleric 1: Moment of Glory - Close blast 5, enemies in blast are pushed three and knocked prone and you don't care if you hit any enemy because allies in blast gain Resist 5 to all damage until end of next turn but is sustainable so unless the cleric gets debilitated for a round, it's...

    D&D 5E (2014) "Damage on a miss" poll.

    It's also not like there aren't two other options to play with the Fighter. If you like it, play it, if you don't, play one of the other two, or mix & match. Incidental damage makes sense when you're boucing a big old maul off of an enemy's breastplate. To use an analogy from another board: a...

    D&D 4E can i use essentials with my 4e group?

    Yeah, they just have fewer options. Some people love them, most are more "old school" in design. For those who like to "tinker" more they can seem limited. There are just a lot fewer potential choices on some things.

    D&D 5E (2014) "Damage on a miss" poll.

    I don't agree with your opinion on this matter, but I'm still happy to read it for the very reason that you're still interested. What's not cool is saying you (general, not you specifically, obviously) aren't interested in the product, won't be interested in the product yet still think you...

    D&D 4E can i use essentials with my 4e group?

    Yeah, it works just fine. If your group in in to heavy, full-on optimizing then a couple of classes (Bladesinger and Vampire, for example) may feel a little weak but in the vast majority of games you'll never really notice a difference.

    Mari Kolkowsky (D&D Art Director) got laid off yesterday

    Yes, and no. You don't pay severence packages to contractors, for example.

    D&D 5E (2014) "Damage on a miss" poll.

    If you're here complaining about a part of something you're "done with" then yeah, you're "being a jerk" because the people who actually are interested are trying to get the game they want. "They're" voice is important.

    D&D 5E (2014) "Damage on a miss" poll.

    What gives you the impression I was referring to you? You don't even have a post above it on the same page, nor do you have a signature that says you're "done with 5E". If you're interested and want input I have no issue with that, but at the heart of the Edition Wars even is a lot of people...
