I think the thing with wizards is that their personal ciphers are just that, personal. They can't be used to communicate with other wizards, so no need for it to go down as a language.

3 new subclasses* Echo Knight for fighter, and two for wizard; a gravity based one and time based one.

Man, this has put a scramble on the "vaguely ancient Greece-inspired with the Zodiac as deities living in the world" setting I was working on. Damn Leonins....

I don't think I was referring to anyone buying it with the post you quoted. But I do agree with everything you say here.

There wouldn't be any discussion about merchandising or cartoons. Much like the movies, that's entirely separate world they aren't giving up. I get that, but that a different matter from them missing the boat if they each keep making a billion dollars each.

Doesn't change that there are less of them. And most players and DMs doesn't engage with communities like this, so I don't think there to worried about being berated by online jerks. All of the things the DM does. Change it to tasks, or roles, or whatever. Of course, though they still have...

In my experience, mostly doesn't happen. And considering it's accepted that there's a shortage of DMs compared to players... No one's arguing that the DM being more important makes them better. But they do have more jobs at the table, and do more of the prep. And the nature of the role makes...

As someone first exposed to Dark Sun and fell in love with the setting through the 4e version, I'm willing to accept more concessions than some. I think of anything 5e is more amenable to some of the adaptations the setting asks for than 4e.

Is there a reason you chose to cite the Drow Elite Warrior over the regular CR 1/4 Drow?

Well that's one of them accounted for, with support even. So I'll amend my statement to, "I won't believe the anonymous (my apologies if Bill from blogspot is in fact a known industry figure I'm unaware of) poster over the two known individuals with history in the industry (and I presume a...

One random anonymous person claiming to know Bob Sr. claims the man didn't hold any such beliefs. Another random anonymous person claiming to know Bob Sr. claims the man made some troubling statements in private 40 to 50 years ago. I'm inclined to say there's no documented proof, and...

3.5 DDO already had the artificer as a class, interestingly enough.

Between the alchemist subclass, the masterclass codex alchemist, and I'm sure other third-party and homebrew options, I don't think they'll make an alchemist class.

Neverwinter is still running and being updated.

I don't disagree. I wouldn't want my musings to be applied to any group entirely. Just a possible perspective of how this one man ended up in such a position.

I really enjoy that the traits, bonds, ect. have such a prominent place on the character sheet, and I like to give out inspiration, but I do find it hard to remember. A bigger problem with my group is that once I do give it out, they will all sit on it for ages. We reached the end of tier 1 with...

Others have made very good points about this, so I'll note my addition is more speculative in nature. As a (relatively) younger person who saw the death of myspace and near complete ubiquity of facebook take place while I was a teenager, I sat through a lot of presentations warning us that...

Probably because backgrounds are something many DMs expect to have a lot more buy-in of. My personal policy is that I'd like if you could look over the published backgrounds for something initially, and if we needed we can modify it. I've never said no to a custom background, but I do expect to...

Cleric is a hard one, and no one fits nicely into the role, but if I had to pick someone it would have to be Thor. Quill would be solid for rogue as well (thief, lots of tools, clever), but he is probably the best pick you'll get for bard. Inspired choice there.

Replace innate with inherent. Themed by bloodline, but the class description also cites events in their lives leading to the development of magical abilities. The PHB even specifically cites "exposure to unknown cosmic forces". And I think you have to get just as granular to explain her as a...
