A necromancer, a beast master, a fighter, and a warlock all walk into a bar... The necromancer's skeleton requires a bonus action. The beast master must spend his action to direct his beast The warlock must spend an attack every round. The fighter sits back and laughs at them because his...

The only type of spells the designers understood were damage dealing spells. Non-damage dealing spells were completely nerfed and only returned to the game for the sake of tradition. I'm very close to adopting the 2e versions of several spells.

Turn duration is a reason I did not consider, but I really don't think an imp's turn is all that hard or complicated to resolve. Still, I think it's rather strange that a trusted familiar can't attack in defense of his master when he goes down. I totally reject the argument that such...

Please do

Balance at the expense of believability will be rebuked at my table.

Yeah I've been skipping around. Now I'm rather disappointed. I guess I payed for a game I really didn't want.

I just found a hidden 4e style shared action rule embedded in the warlock class. Apparently nice familiars like imps and pseudodragons with intelligence scores that are higher than some characters are not capable of attacking on their own. The warlock must expend an attack to allow their...

Yes, but that's the one place in the realms I don't campaign in. :)

My playstyle simply does not contain non magical healing. I currently play C&C, 2e, and sometimes 3.5e. I'm not a fan of gamist rules and I generally try to play games that have abstract rules that approximate realistic results. As for my concerns, I think the PHB should make it very...

It would at least be nice if they released the FR maps for 5th edition.

I really don't like that you can only polymorph someone into a beast. I really like using polymorphed creatures in my games. For example, dungeon magazine 50 has a person who was polymorphed into a beholder. Heck I once ran a module with a kender who was polymorphed into a dragon...

Would you be surprised if I said I don't play 4e anymore? I'm rather ticked off that healing surges remain in the game (hit dice). If I wanted that I would play 4e because I think it does a much better job at that sort of game. In addition, I think the long rest rules are beyond stupid...

My copy of the PHB arrived at my door last week, but I'm still really struggling to like this edition. I have to be perfectly honest that I'm a bit underwhelmed. At the moment, I think 5e is a failure for my playstyle. The default system is NOT something I want to play at all. For...

Wow, they must have been forced to scrape the bottom of the barrel to find an artist that bad.

Yes, he can cast Second Wind.

I usually add house rules to make the game more realistic. I've been correcting my D&D game that way since 1e. IMO, over balance is overrated.

They found it appropriate to call out that some DMs might want more realism for equipment sizes, but apparently those same DMs don't need a side bar variant rule to replace overnight healing to full HP, hit dice, and second wind.

At this point, it's obvious that a small lawful evil cabal of posters are artificially keeping this topic alive on the forums everywhere. The survey data, which was peer reviewed and published, showed absolutely no interest or need for alternative options to second wind and other like mechanics.
