    Flatter Ability Score Bonuses

    Congrats to him he beat the odds but what is so terrible about this? Did it ruin the fun for you that he did some extra damage. I would have been psyched to have him on my team. The odd thing is though for some reason i didn't think elves could have the /00 but i'm probably confused its been a...

    Flatter Ability Score Bonuses

    Its funny to see people reference 18/00 strength I played AD&D for years and the only time there was ever an 18/00 at the table was if someone has gauntlets of ogre power. Even if you had an 18 the odds of rolling 100 to go along with it were extremely low. I seem to recall that something like...

    Alignment restrictions?

    I hope a modular alignment system that could be easily added to the core of 5E would fit the bill for those who want it. Hopefully that module won't be nearly as bad as 4E alignments.

    So...where does retraining fit in?

    Excellent point call it an option for the folks who feel they need to control and regulate it.

    Where to begin?

    Speaking in general terms: The feel of 1E The fluff of 2E The granularity of 3E The clarity of 4E

    So...where does retraining fit in?

    I didn't say I was against it I asked why do we really need it. It almost seems like the need for a rule for something so generally simple and irrelevant is really all about an excuse to limit or deny so I say again why?

    The Core Mechanic and DCs

    This would be my preference as well.

    So...where does retraining fit in?

    IMHO if a players says to you I picked power x last time we leveled and after a few sessions I think it stinks or i think power Y would better fit our party or my character concept how hard is it to say go ahead and change it? Do we really need a rule for this? I would further add that if...

    How Do you Feel About Healing Surges? (Read First!)

    This is a critical issue for me and why I don't want to see very many of 4E's default assumptions as the core mechanics of 5E. I hope 5E's core mechanics will enable all playstyles by starting from a base to which you add the mechanical modules to fit your playstyle. I hope its not a game where...

    How Do you Feel About Healing Surges? (Read First!)

    My favorite part was when my teammates would deliberatly provoke OA's from enemies knowing that I would negate 19 points of the hit and gain 19 temp HP! Great fun, I love that class. I'm currently playing a level 10 fighter and often find myself see all kinds of great swordmage move tactics I...

    Rule of the Three (1st of May)

    Sounds like feats may be an assumption of the core rule set. How good or bad that is will largely be determined by how the feats are written and implemented, however I'm a little disappointed that they aren't simply an add on. Having them as a part of the default core means you've taken another...

    Write this game for adults

    I hope my son won't have to be embarrassed by any of the illustrations in his DnD books. I hated the sense of embarrassment that had me hiding the succubus illustration from the ADnD MM whenever my mom was around. The game doesn't need it or maybe i'm too old and crusty of appreciate it lol.

    side note to the above post I love the swordmage and will be crushed if it doesn't make it into 5E eventually.

    How Do you Feel About Healing Surges? (Read First!)

    I played a shielding swordmage (coronal guard) from levels 1-15 and I give the designers credit they really made so a defender can do his job. my swordmage took some royal beatings and chewed through his surges at an astonishing rate not a bad thing imho after all his job was to take the hits...

    How Do you Feel About Healing Surges? (Read First!)

    I think healing surges make the 15 minute adventuring day more likely then it was in prior editions so no I don't like them. The shame of it is with leaders getting healing powers per encounter this was preventable.

    Why do all classes have to be balanced?
