    D&D 5E (2014) Eberron 5e - What do we want?

    I like that idea, even if it takes a bit of player agency regarding his charcter (but this is 5e, to the heck with player's dictatorship!) I still think this is "giving" one player a benefit and other might a) be jealous; b) want to get a dragonmark too (so hey dragonmarked party!) On the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Eberron 5e - What do we want?

    That's a hell lot of ever, huh?! :) I still think the Artificer is it's own thing and could easily have a few archetypes: a melee self buffer type, a pet master of sorts for humunculus/iron dog (way to fix Ranger too) and something more cater-y. Besides the Artificer, I also think the major...

    D&D 5E (2014) Eberron 5e - What do we want?

    I, for one, don't care :) Also I don't remember it, but anyway I usually dislike races added via splatbooks and too monster-y stuff that seems better suited to NPCs / BBEGs.

    D&D 5E (2014) Eberron 5e - What do we want?

    If Eberron 5e had Action Points similar to what 3e did (it WAS a core part of the seeting system in that time), an AP-tax would be a way to implement Dragonmarks. I don't like the idea of giving them for free because that may lead to a group full of Dragonmarked characters, and it was supposed...

    D&D 5E (2014) Eberron 5e - What do we want?

    Back when WotC was discussing Eberron for 4e we had a HUGE topic on Wizard's boards on if they should advance the timeline or not and why. Thankfully they didn't - someone from Wizards even took the time to reply the discussion and make some questions. Sadly I don't have all that list on why...

    D&D 5E (2014) I'm *GASP* Actually Going to Be Playing 5e in a Few Weeks -- What are the Character Creation Pitfalls to Avoid?

    I think 5e doesn't have pitfalls in the same sense 3rd and 4th ed had. Are you going to start at Lvl 1? The classes vary a lot depending on archetypes (aka subclasses), but basically: Barbarian is the best Tank, Paladin is a best damage dealer by going Nova and Fighter is more all-around (but...

    The D&D Movie Finds Its Director

    He could try some kind of arrangement in that VD has some say in the project - he is, in a way, part of the taget audience. Anyway... it's gonna be a Warner movie, right? Lately I haven't had much faith in them when it comes to action/hero movies... well... time will tell... but I reeeeeally...

    The D&D Movie Finds Its Director

    If Vin Diesel is such a D&D fans, he would probably ask for less money than he would otherwise (like in a Fast and Furious movie). Anyway, there's probably a saying that "hope is the last one to die" (at least in Portuguese there is :)!)... so... there's still hope...

    D&D 3.x Thoughts of a 3E/4E powergamer on starting to play 5E

    I mostly disagree with your opinions in this thread... but not this time. I like challange. Challange is how my character shines in combat! But "excess of challange" tends towards frustrating. Maybe that's why I was never into Tomb of Horrors or even Dark Sun for the matter... anywaya, as you...

    D&D 3.x Thoughts of a 3E/4E powergamer on starting to play 5E

    I have a feeling that +1 to Hit/Damage isn't as powerfull as the best feats, which also give you new abilities/options and usually go towards a concept (Polearm Master, Shield Master, etc). Moreover, most (if no all) optimization guides I read tell to get feats first, then use ASI to actually...

    D&D 3.x Thoughts of a 3E/4E powergamer on starting to play 5E

    Doubt: the problem is to "know the resolution in advance" or "know the odds of resolutuion in advance". Because to know the resolution in advance you must be sure you can't fail - like having a +9 vs 10 DC. ... All in all, 5e does have some guidelines on skill DCs - but it takes a nice...

    D&D 3.x Thoughts of a 3E/4E powergamer on starting to play 5E

    Wow! This thread just keeps growing! Since we're 20 pages long now, it's hard to find all those nice quotes... so I'll just add my 2 cents at thecasualoblivion original post: Know that when you say you're a selfish player, you're not making things easier for you :)! Anyway... may I ask more...

    What 5e got wrong

    Could you give examples? Because the way you put, I get the feel that you're criticizing Bounded Accuracy. Which IMHO is one of the most "right" things in 5E - and I bet most people out there agree. I disagree with you. Since Feats are optional, most abilities are already within the classes and...

    D&D 5th Edition Player's Handbook

    5 out of 5 rating for D&D 5th Edition Player's Handbook Well... most guys already said it, but D&D 5e is the best of 3.5 merged with the few good things 4E had. In the end it's the best D&D i've ever read or played.

    D&D 5th Edition Basic Rules

    5 out of 5 rating for D&D 5th Edition Basic Rules I loved D&D 3.0, then 3.5... but when 4E came out I basically stopped playing. D&D 5E is a return to form (of sorts...): the best parts of 3E streamlined with the good ideas that influenced 4E.The game just runs great, Bounded Accuracy makes...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does Eberron need to be high fantasy?

    One of FRs greatest complains was that the setting have too many powerful NPCs, chosen of the gods with Epic Levels. What's the point in fighting evil when we have Elmisnter? The decision was made so those complains don't appear in the setting, I think it was a good one and in line with the...
