Except.... they also didn't play it either....

If it was that easy I'm sure they could have spared the ink in the DMG for that option. No, I think it speaks to a larger design goal for 5e.

It's actually child abuse to deprive children of Arnold's classics.

If Mearls said there are no options... there are no options... that should be enough to make a decision.

Well that's the first time I've read that article. Many of the problems he identifies, especially those with illusions and invisibility, are clearly dealt with in AD&D. On top of that, visible light is just a form of radiation. In terms of science, you CAN make something invisible to the...

Wow I did not read that! At this point you would think it would be obvious to the designers that there are many gamers who don't like inspirational healing. Far more than those demanding thac0 anyway :) I think this is an issue that can be solved with a 10 word or less option, it...

Well up until 3e Elves could see in the dark with infravision. I rather miss seeing heat sources... I always thought that added a lot of flavour to the game.

You need to add in all the claims about the 5e fighter not having nice things anymore.

IMO, there shouldn't be a SW ability for the fighter. I don't like either option, but I do care.

Depending on what you roll it can be more effective. I honestly wouldn't mind a temp hit point increase that lasts until the end of the encounter, but real healing outside of magic is just beyond the bounds of my game.

I really don't know why I would want a compromise edition. I honestly can't compromise too much. I'm looking for 5e to be a modular game that's friendly to the way I've played for years.

Well I'm wrong then. I thought the miniature handbook came out late 3.5e because I never saw it on the shelf at any of my local game shops. Still, I don't recal that book ever being used in a typical D&D campaign. As for action surge, I'm not really upset with that one... I've played with...

For me the glass is half full to stuff I don't want and for you the game is missing half the stuff you're looking for.

What page is Second Wind from in 3e PHB ? I don't see it in the 3e PHB. The 3e fighter CAN'T instantly heal himself like he can in 4e/5e. All those other books are late 3.5e/4e changes that I also rebuke.. but at least they are optional. The onus is on you to prove 5e isn't like 4e...

With some of the junk I've seen from 5e recently I won't be returning to D&D. IMO, it's just like 4e with lipstick

lol... grasping for straws eh... haha.. My 3e fighter does not have the ability to instantly auto heal hit points. I guess you're trying to justify it with the healing rules that are applicable to all classes. Of course you are completely ignoring all the variant healing rules and all...

Everyone told me 5e was going to be just like 4e so you're right, I won't play it. Based on the first playtest package I thought otherwise, but I now stand corrected. I have to wonder how many other major abilities/mechanics in 5e would make General Cluster.... blush.

WHAT? Fighters can now auto heal without magic? That's funny. I thought 5e was going to be different than 4e. The first few packages looked very promising. oh well.
