One word - Otyughs. I tend to ignore those things in my game, just like most PCs and NPCs have good teeth and the barmaids are pretty and clean.

Perhaps I am displaying my ignorance here, but I am wondering what WotC gets out of making a 5e OGL? Is there any incentive for them to release it, other than making some fans happy?

Maybe it has the light property because it doesn't weigh that much and is fairly easily concealable.

Fair enough. I guess I was trying to make the point that not everyone has a problem with it, but I get that that doesn't really help you :-)

I guess we play at very different tables. I and the players I play with have plenty of odd numbered stats. Besides, there are several feats (if you play with those) that grant a +1 to a stat. Wouldn't you want to "build" your PC to take advantage of those?

Why does everything have to have a mechanical benefit. If my fighter has 15 INT I know that he is smarter than the moron cleric with only 14 INT.

I will probably do this for my next campaign. I have also removed the subraces for most races (all dwarfs are mountain dwarves and all elves are high elves).

That's the problem with murderers - they are often really really inconsiderate.

Firing into melee: If you roll a natural 1 when firing into melee, roll a to hit roll against the ally nearest the original target to see if you hit them instead. Polearm Master feat and quarterstaff: A quarterstaff can only take advantage of the Polearm Master feat, if used two-handed. Rations...

Does it really matter that much if the flying PC hovers or take a 5' move (or even moves in a circle back to his original position)? Whatever you call it, the PC can effectively stay in the same spot from round to round.

That's a very good point.

I don't really see a problem with a culture based on Norse vikings having expertise in Athletics, while one based on the Italian city states have expertise in for example Religion. There are of course other options for the vikings (like Intimidation), but even among humans there can be a lot of...

Google Play says that the app has been downloaded 5-10,000 times.

While the content may not be to everyone's liking, it seems that the app has been downloaded by a lot of people, according to The Escapist. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/140798-Dungeons-Dragons-Dragon-Surpasses-People-Magazine-and-Maxim-Apps

Out of curiosity, are there actually any examples of that happening (a rpg successfully branching out into other markets)? I can't think of any, but I have been away from the hobby for a number of years.

I am currently trying to port both Red Hand of Doom and PotA into my own setting for a sort of mega campaign thingie and I would say that both are about equal in terms of how much I have to change to make it fit. It is more or less just names of gods and organizations that has to be changed. I...

I am doing the same thing (voting with my wallet, that is). So far I have bought every single thing WotC has released for 5e, whether I had a use for it or not. This edition is so damn good, I want them to keep doing what they are doing. Unless they crank up their release schedule to where I...

Thanks for your response. I can surely understand your concerns and I somewhat agree with your qualms about super-NPCs (although that can be said about most older campaign settings, especially Greyhawk), although it IMHO is easily solved by nerfing them.

Can you give a few examples of why you hate FR (as opposed to for example Greyhawk or Golarion if you like those)? I can understand not liking a setting (I am not in the least interested in Dark Sun), but I am curious what you (and other FR "dislikers") are so opposed to.

Why then is it a problem that WotC keeps to one setting? Does the existence of Birthright, Mystara, Dark Sun, etc. mean, that we shouldn't be satisfied before at least one AP has been set in each of them?
