    D&D 5E (2014) How viable is 5E to play at high levels?

    Except it does. One of the main complains in the prior editions was how much the combats last, and how much time resolving seemingly simple things consumed. And there was also the 5-minute adventuring day. This edition assumes that most encounters don't last as much and the resolution time is...

    D&D 5E (2014) How viable is 5E to play at high levels?

    I have to disagree here. There is a simple enough explanation of why it isn't satisfying to have one "adventuring day" longer than a gaming session: dramatic tension. Most groups don't engage in more than 1 session per week, if they are lucky. Specially when you are older and have other...

    D&D 5E (2014) Proficiency Bonus, Fighters & Damage

    Long story short: I know DPR isn't the best judge of a class. Yes, I know. I know that isn't all that important. That being said: It bothers me that, comparatively, fighters are the least proficient damagers dealers with a weapon among the melee classes. I'm not taking account the ammount of...

    D&D 5E (2014) How viable is 5E to play at high levels?

    I'd say I partially agree with the above statements... on the combat pillar, mostly. I've just finished a long (almost two years) campaign, where the characters reached 14th level. And yes, it is very hard to challenge them in combat. The combat resolution tends to negate almost all ill-effects...

    Sorry :p, yes, I have missed the non fantasy. Although Conan and Eddard Stark are still low-fantasy enough to be appreciated?

    Is D&D Entering a New Golden Age?

    I hope that we are in a new golden age for D&D. I'm so sick for nostalgia winning over. 5e is actually a great game, although it's by no means perfect, and it should lead the new TTRPG era. It is, after all the first and most developed RPG.

    You underestimate the power of my farts. Think of Stinking cloud at the best, Cloudkill at epic levels at the worst. Yeah! Fart jokes!

    D&D 5E (2014) Favorite Fighters

    My favourite fighter would be... my current character, Borivik. It is a Human Battlemaster of the FR. He is a folk's hero, because he leaded a revolt against an oppressive church in its native land. He's an atheist after encountering another of my fighters, the original Gastón, a mercenary and...

    Unearthed Arcana WotC's Mearls Presents A New XP System For 5E In August's Unearthed Arcana

    I don't know. Is a little barebones, but I reallly find this approach interesting. I strive a lot to make adventures not based on combat only, and characters to spend their resources on the Exploration pillar. I acknowledge that I'm not great building social interaction scenes according to any...

    D&D 5E (2014) How much fighting do a typical D&D session have?

    No, I find combats per session more maneagable and less obscure than ".3 fights per hour". And so, an hour of game varies a lot. If you are convinced otherwise, you could say, like I did, "In a 8 hours session" or "in a 5 hours session". This is a valid question, and it helps a lot to design...
