Edit: Nevermind.

I love milestone leveling. I use it almost exclusively these days when I run a campaign.

If that's so, I'd sure like to see some current examples, if you got 'em. Thanks. No, seriously. I haven't seen anything like that in a long, long time. Not saying it hasn't happened recently. Somewhere. But it certainly seems odd, and out of place to me, in this current forum environment. Cuz...

So your defense of the other poster's behavior is that it warranted because of something that may have been happening over a decade ago? Are you sure you want that as your argument?

Sarcasm? Or maybe more like just contextually part of an ongoing conversation... Its "combative" in the sense that that is what I tell people when they try to imply- directly or by implication- that they are a more experienced gamer. I am told that in order to lend more weight to their...

Given that you haven't been following along much, it might be best not to comment at all, then? Weird, I have no problem with pacing encounters. Nor with the fundamental assumptions of the 5e game. But then, 5e is the game for me... More uninformed criticism, given you admission to not being...

But only non-casual players, with good luck and amazing tactics, can trivially circumvent all those costs...

So you guys were able to avoid spoiling your play experience all these years without the rules making you do things a certain way? Or the system hand holding you and/or the DM? So, yes, you agree with my point, then. Thanks again! And yet, I have more. So what? Clearly its important or you...

Glad you guys agree with me. Thanks. That's it? If I have you beat, does that mean my opinions and observations carry more weight?

But the point was that this is something that has been an issue since the dawn of TTRPGs. And yet somehow we've managed to handle it for decades. Until now!...

Okay. But I'm not sure what that has to do with my post. I don't recall mentioning such an issue. To accomplish what? Because I disagree with what I think you are trying to get at. I don't think that's a "real problem" at all. And nothing to do with my post, besides. So completely missing my...

Battlemaster: "So what's your shtick?" Ranger: "I'm unequaled in exploration and I even took a few social interaction benefits." Battlemaster: "Awesome!" Ranger: "How 'bout you?" Battlemaster: "I kill stuff real good." Ranger: "Cool. Looks like we got our bases covered." [Combat begins -...

Remember in the olden days, when wizards had only a couple spells per day? And even though the entire party was fine to continue, once the wizard expended his repertoire, time to camp. Cuz wizard is outta spells. Didn't matter that the rest of the group was good to go.

But Capn has repeatedly told us that his players are not casual, nor do they suffer from poor luck, and always use amazing tactics. So I doubt he can relate to your question. So he probably doesn't care if those other types of players get punished by whatever methods he wants brought into the...

I guess, good thing my post wasn't in response to you, but to someone else who brought up those very points? To turn the "go away" card around... If you don't find 5e's considerations, or lack thereof, towards the importance of, or lack thereof, resting attrition or strategic balance, why are...

Aren't you the guy that goes bat-S when anyone even hints at telling you to go away? Also, my point remains. I would guess most players of 5e would consider over emphasis, or constant worrying, about "resting attrition or strategic balance" as actively detrimental to their enjoyment of the...

Sounds like an interesting house rule. Let us know how it works out.

Lanefan, I gotta say, I honestly think your post shoots past the point I originally made. I'm not sure where you drifted from the subject of my earlier observation, but nothing you are saying now really relates to the heart of it. Nor does it really explain why my observation remains...

Potentially resolved easily enough with, "DM, can we work out something different with the EK schools to represent the skald idea I want to play?"

Fighter with the Entertainer background? ;)
