Fair points, but now you made me have to go delve into texts. Page 190, PHB, under the heading "Breaking Up Your Move", sub-heading 'Moving Between Attacks': "If you take an action that includes more than one weapon attack, you can break up your movement even further by moving between those...

Most other feats that restrict the scope of the use of that feat are rather specific in how that feat is restricted. By no means is there a specific restriction as to when the bonus action occurs other than it occur after a critical hit or dropping the opponent to 0. It is also important to...

That's what I thought as well, but then the comment about the designers getting their details wrong makes me think he's just grumpy that things aren't crunchy enough, which I can understand... I'm just not sure we need yet another hating thread. I'm trying to keep my hatred of 5e to myself! :D

That's pretty sad, I feel for you. I've been fortunate enough to play with people who are at least polite enough to try and fake it. It's called good playersmanship, if the DM gives you world details to use, the player should use them.

It looks like to me that the rules are the same for firearms as they are for bows, in relation to the number of times they can be fired in a round. The exception to this is if the weapon has the 'burst fire' property, which instead allows you fire multiple projectiles into an area at the cost...

When I did this with my group, we were huge on simple, easy numbers. We went with a 6-day week, 30-day month, and 12-month year. We did name the days of the week, but generally they didn't mean anything to us as we kept track of the day of the month, '12th day of Foaling, 6th day of Dawning'...

In all fairness, the RAW on the subject is... poorly written. The text that mechanically describes how a weapon is classified as a ranged weapon is incomplete, or at least misleading. A simple exclusion clause, such as 'a melee weapon cannot also be a ranged weapon' instead of balancing...

I didn't convey my point correctly, which is that if the above stories were being run by a DM, the DM in those stories has created situations whereby he has supplied the hero with the exact items he needs to be heroic, thus negating the need for a magic item marketplace. If I think my character...

You can't discount the fact that there's an elaborate and detailed system for giving the characters gold, yet the system for using that aspect of the game is not even close to symmetrical.

To be fair, in the heroic fantasy stories it's pretty much essential that the hero finds magic that they can use, i.e. King Arthur was proficient with a sword, and it really matched his character build, so he gets magic swords. Perseus was handed all sorts of cool magical stuff. Achilles died...

I don't think it's necessarily unreasonable to want access to a set of rules, and to allow deviation from those rules on the part of the DM, as needed. For example, the system for XP is there, yet a lot of (if not most) DMs say to hell with the rules and do it their own way. Mind you I really...

I don't like going to my local game store, too many ponytails and trench coats...

This conversation would also be different had the writers known about the word "only".

I probably didn't register it because at the time I agreed, and there was no question in my mind, however since then I feel the wording used throughout the rules is very much incomplete as far as conveying the appropriate message, even if the intent is consistent (how melee and ranged would...

Nobody likes you. Your own mother doesn't like you. Your life is a waste. As for things that might be used to mock an enemy, I couldn't think of any. :D

From a roleplay perspective, I suppose it would make much more sense if everyone played a dwarf.

I would suggest grand processions of parade scale. Trumpeters, jugglers, tumblers, fire-breathers, elephants and camels, colorful banners, minstrels, wagons of food to be given to the poor, wagons of extra coppers and silvers to be tossed to the poor, jewel encrusted saddles, all of this to...

Interesting. After reading various sections of the PHB I had discarded my original thoughts on this subject, and had adopted the 'ranged is ranged' view, because if it's not RAW then it is STRONGLY implied. Even the blurb the creates the melee/ranged distinction confuses itself: "Every weapon...

My old group came close to playing Dogs in the Vineyard a while back, to get a break from the crunchiness of 3.5. Unfortunately we never followed through, and though I have the source material, I never really got into how the game works.

I may not agree on the assumed establishment of sub-economies, but I see your point. Personally I wouldn't mind an optional, more complex system. As it is, however, most people I've played with don't really care about details, some of which might be important to worry about even in a...
