It isn't though. The guidelines of D&D are played to the hard rules of the DM. Or at least played to the hard rules that the players can't fast talk, manipulate or bully their way past.

Oh my god. So ok, we're playing Star Wars D6 system. And on one hand it's really fun to make characters. On the other hand, the game is a goddamn meatgrinder. I mean, you roll, you get shot, you die, and then you build something else. If Gary Gygax became an astronaut, this is the game he would...

Depending on the world. If your world is populated with PC classes, yeah probably. But if your PCs are the only ones with PC classes, or PC classes are just extremely rare, then it's not as huge of an issue.

Why are you counting polearms as Great Weapons? I think polearms should be their own thing. I mean in history they maybe possibly occupied vaguely the same place in warfare(we think so anyway, but there are a lot of differing theories), but D&D isn't played that way. Polearms poke things and...

Hobgoblin, I haven't read that giant post yet, but I always operated under the assumption that PCs are usually atypical members of their society/race/culture/whatever. That the whole reason they travel into dungeons and risk their lives for gold and riches are because they're isolated from what...

They usually do.

So, I think it would be funny for a possible game, to randomly throw Beta Ray Bill at my players, have him beat them up, then have them fly away. Obviously this would be for a game where the 'story' isn't so important, or it would be a Planescape or Spelljammer game where I feel you could get...

My Half-Orc has the Urchin background. I've mostly ignored the rat, but other than that I'm a big fan.

Wow. It's possible to do zero damage? That's incredible.

What if the DM is a Barbarian? Or Godzilla? Or Godzilla with Barbarian levels?

Not unless they have pieces of Flair on them.

Because Tavern Brawler is the only reason to exist. I think I'm gonna give every character I ever have Tavern Brawler. Halfling Wizard, Tavern Brawler. Awakened Mouse Bard, Tavern Brawler. Monk who already has Martial Arts, Tavern Brawler. I'm gonna get the description for Tavern Brawler...

Oh yeah. And I'm badgering the DM because apparently a month or two is happening between our last session and our next one. So in the meantime, I'm trying to start my own exterminator business, and drive my former employers out of business. That'll show them for firing me! If this works...

These rules could even apply to actual smoking. Except, in addition, it should add +4 to your charisma, and -2 to your Athletics checks.

Don't try to pull the wool under our eyes, dude, we see what you're doing! The sheer audacity...

My friends all play around a table, but because they miss me being around so much, they actually got Skype for their computers, and now I'm still around the table when they play. It's fun.

Whatever, dude! Ba-a-a-a-a-a-a-a, humbug.

Well, what do you mean by non sub-class features? Because from what I've read of 5th Edition, Archetypes seem to be built into every class. Like, at third level, they have to make a decision about where they want to go, they can't just stay in the carpool lane.

They'd probably be Archetypes. The Psionic Class would have a very huge selection of Archetypes.

No way man, Hulk's a total PC. That Barbarian Rage is a real doozy.
