oh well no save or die poisons. Based on some of the monsters, I had my fingers crossed that we would see at least a save twice or die poison.

wow. I have to say that you just completely sucked the life out of my D&D game. I don't understand why you want to force the players down a rail-road and turn the game into some sort of shared hard coded movie. D&D is not a movie or a novel. Just like the Star Trek transporters can...

I think it's important to say no sometimes. Making things more difficult for the players can actually foster more creativity. I think my players would hate it if I said yes to every idea they had. Sure, I might let them try something, but I often ensure that simple solutions are met with...

I took a quick look at the battlesystem rules in AD&D. I really don't think you'll see anything similar in the DMG. With that said, there is another set of rules that appeared in the BECMI rule set called War Machine (X10). That set of rules took about 3-4 pages in one of the modules...

I really don't think the AD&D battlesystem rules took up all that much space. I'm going to pull out my old rule books and do a page count.

The short paragraph on alternate resting and healing rules causes me some concern. I really hope there are rules to remove the default long resting rules and all forms of non-magical healing (hit dice and class features like second wind).

I think it's great that firearms and alien guns are in the DMG. I have a few old dungeon magazine adventures I can now use. I'm thinking folks who like spelljammer and other fantastic settings will be very happy.

You can actually do this math yourself by using the player directory on roll 20. Each result contains 50 players per page. Simply multiply the number of pages by 50 and you have the total number of players looking for each game. There are thousands of gamers on roll 20. If that...

I think that when breasts are depicted they should be fully exposed. The harpy, Marilith, and the Succubus are great examples of this. IMO they should have hired Bikers / Tattoo artists for such monsters.

Death from massive damage rule.

Let me be clear, I think that statement is true for the entire game. For this particular thread; however, we are talking about shared actions. If you want to talk about other aspects of the game that also need to be fixed, I'm more than willing to discuss solutions to those issues in a...

You're right he isn't required to waste a class feature on something he can just spend gold on. Regardless, I was simply trying to point out how inconsistent the rules are across all levels of support.

Changing the topic to hit points? Why are you doing that? You do realize that every time you point out a flaw with the game, I'll simply make a house rule so it does make sense. In that situation 2e will force you to make a system shock roll or die and then I'll have you roll a saving...

Really? I'm not having such issues with 2e.

I think the DMG will have initial encounter distances listed. Previous editions had you roll a few dice to determine how far away a random encounter was. I love it when the PCs spot a few trolls several rounds away. This gives characters with bows a chance to shine. I'd also like to...

It's not. I hate that feat. The simple fix is to require some form of cover to be within 10 feet of the rogue. Of course, I'm not a 3.5e / PF player So to be clear, if it doesn't make sense it gets house ruled. If the game requires pages of house rules we don't play it.

I totally agree. In fact, NPC hirelings are preferred.

that doesn't allow the creature to defend his master when he is down. You could argue that the creature would become autonomous when his master goes down, but lose his action when his master up. It's a rather strange situation. One moment he is attacking the goblin and the other he can't...

one bad rule does't justify another. do I need to pull out the 2e definition of a saving throw for you?
