I will forever have Gygax to thank for the introduction and understanding of the word "aesthetic," ...and importantly, and more specifically, why and how it differs from the word "ascetic." (It's in the 1e description of the Monk class.) Whether it was some flowery "Gygaxian" that I was unable...

I think it could be very interesting to play in such a game/world. I would say that if one were to try a system like this out, first thing is spell progression tables go in the trash! No more "2/3, 3/2/1, 4/3/3/2" or such like. You have your cantrips and, like, 2 spells you can do -at will-...

I mean, sure, if "single session" is, like, a marathon 12-15-24 hours straight through. But who plays/can play sessions like that anymore? Sure, weekend sleepover marathons in high school or college were great. Some of the best times of my life... but I'm OLD now! The bathroom breaks alone...

This could be a really interesting thing. But I have no idea how they could do it. Tsojcanth is a personal favorite of mine. There is NO way even the most experienced players, with the most OPed characters, could get through the Lost Caverns and to Drelzna's chamber in a single session. Even...

Huh....jeez...I wonder why? ...That's right! 1) It DOES make sense. Oh yeah, and 2) has D&D cred going back to 1e...with subclass options appearing in every edition... and 3) has multiple different cool character archetypes. Maybe "try something better" is more applicable to your character...

4 Class Categories X 3 Base Classes per = 12. Warrior (Fighter, Barbarian, Martial Adept), Rogue (Thief, Acrobat, Ranger), Mystic (Cleric, Druid, Warlock), Wizard (Mage, Psychic, Swordmage/"Magus") 12 Base Classes X 3 Sub-(or "Expert")classes per = 36 Warrior: Fighter: Default Fighter...

Shooting for 48...divide by 12 classes...4 subclasses per class. Needing to divvy up the classes into thematic categories, that's 3 classes per major group... Soooo... Warriors - Str. classes Fighters - Str., Combat Mastery. --Base/default: "Champion" (needs a better name) --Battlemaster - the...

Yup. That's exactly the one to which I refer in my original post.

Whether it was from a D&D book, a movie, a comic book, novel cover, someone's drawing/painting, wherever...what's the image that said to you "This is a cleric?...a Ranger? ...a Mage/WIzard/Sorcerer?..." etc... "Iconic characters" have become the norm for more recent iterations of D&D...

I would be inclined to allow it only for specific casters. Want to be an "Elementalist" specialist? Sure. Should a Necromancer? No. I might be inclined to allow it for general Evokers (is this something evokers can already do?) as well. Generating/controlling "energies" is their thing. And...
