I do recal playing a specialty priest in AD&D 2e who couldn't heal. He could inflict wounds, but he couldn't cure them. Of course, the party only needed a healer if the DM failed to provide an alternative method of healing via potions, magical items, hirelings, or advancing the time. I'd...

My fun just includes more blood and guts in my narrative and for that reason I want to dial down the speed of natural healing.

playing pretend is what the game is all about. The game is a product of your imagination. It isn't trival to have your imagination ruined with a cheesy game mechanic. I know there are some people who don't mind it, but I do.

That's great news.

I don't have the DMG, but is it true that treasure is assigned by CR? How does this affect creatures like dragons who typically have hordes of treasure, not because of their CR, but because hording is part of their nature?

No, it's not trivial. The healing rules were one the main reasons I didn't play 4e.

I'm starting to think that I won't be playing 5e unless I can find a group who doesn't like the default healing rules.

Thank you for saying this. We don't need a one true way for everyone we simply need options for everyone.

Why make fun of that perspective with a strawman argument? I simply like games in which divine healing has meaning. I couldn't care less if that healing comes from a cleric, a staff of healing, a wand, potions, or even a DM plot device that grants regeneration. In our games no one was ever...

I really don't mind playing in a game that depends on divine magic via a cleric. That's how I've always played and the game works perfectly. I also think that removing the default resting rules makes divine magic seem far more powerful. There is something more fantastic about a world in...

The week long rest might be usefull for overland travel. With the default rules there are no consequences for hex crawls.

I agree with your rules. You shouldn't be automatically located, but I recal Mearls confirming that invisibility doesn't work that way in 5e. Apparently, you only have to guess the creatures location if they are also hidden. There is no check required to detect them and they can be targeted...

Well the silence spell with invisibility does the same. I'm fine with it, but in the past invisibility creating a shimmering effect that could be detected if you spent the time looking for it. As I understanding being invisible in 5e doesn't mean you are not located. In theory if there...

yeah don't let that one go. The Teleport other power is awesome. Our group encountered one who was protecting a gate house. He started teleporting everyone directly to jail.

WotC and technology don't mix.

Yeah I'm not trying to change things. The truth is simply that there is a need and WotC wasn't offering a solution. If WotC offered such a thing there wouldn't be a need for an illegal site. With this turn of events, everyone will simply return to their illegal 3.5e PDF collections. I know...

I feel the same way. At this point it appears as if they failed to understand the problem with the default resting and healing rules.

Many 3.5e gamers I know are very upset with this turn of events. They were using that site exclusively for their games. In fact, I think it was all 3.5e had going for it to compete with PF online. It's too bad that WotC can accept that there is a great need for a site like that. IMO...

Here are a few more that need to be on that list. Maedar, Gibberling, Book Worm, Crypt Thing, Rot Grub, Ju-Ju Zombie, Xvart MM 2 or rather planescape should also have alternate versions of demons and devils that are closer to tradition.

ok great, I'm happy to have read your post incorrectly. I don't disagree with you, but I do think that many of the non damage based spells are on the low side of the power scale now. In general they are not bad, but some spells should have their level decreased to compensate for the...
