    D&D 5E (2014) With Respect to the Door and Expectations....The REAL Reason 5e Can't Unite the Base

    It goes further than just essentials remember they were able to incorporate fixes every month and load it into the character builder. I suspect if you looked at the total changes made across all those monthly updates over 4 years it would be quite sizable. I think its a great thing though I hope...

    D&D 5E (2014) How Can D&D Next Win You Over?

    So a label makes it ok in one edition and the lack of a label makes it bad everywhere else...neat.

    A DM by any other name

    What you have now described with Lt. Bill sounds like you want the DM to wrestle for control of the game world with the PCs. I say if you want to worldbuild or rewrite the adventure sit behind the screen.

    A DM by any other name

    Do you not see the conflict here? On the one hand you seem to be saying its ok that players randomly and spontaniously decided to announce that he already knew or knew of a new npc. Then you cite that games have rules to determine just how far it can go as if 4E will draw a line a line and say...

    D&D 5E (2014) How Can D&D Next Win You Over?

    I didn't mean in comparison to my fighter or swordmage. I mean compared to anything i've seen in 4E. We would tease the rogue anytime he hit for less than 40 or for that matter anytime he missed because that was a rarity too lol. But when he went nova I was often inspired to cheer and clap. It...

    D&D 5E (2014) How Can D&D Next Win You Over?

    If you say you have told them then great. The post I quoted did not. I'm sure if it's truly broken it will be addressed. Regarding DPS I played alongside an elven dagger master brutal rogue that did mind bending amounts of damage like nothing i've seen before or after. My current character is...

    A DM by any other name

    That just seems crazy to me. Unless I as the DM actually wanted such a connection to exist (and if I did I would actually check with you first before making such and in game proclaimation). How do you know this NPC is really who he claims to be and not another soldier or creature or assasin or...

    D&D 5E (2014) How Can D&D Next Win You Over?

    I really want to take at face value that you want to let them know how the game is broken but your post here doesn't really reflect that. The closest thing I see to a concrete problem here is that you think Magic Missle is too lethal. Maybe your giving great and detailed feedback in the playtest...

    My experience is quite the opposite so i suppose it's really a subjective matter of personal preference.

    D&D 5E (2014) How Can D&D Next Win You Over?

    All you are doing is displaying prior edition prejudice. We have only seen the first 3 levels of the very early test release of the game. I will in absence of proof to the contrary not assume they are making a broken game. If this scenario has minor inbalance to it won't be the end of the world...

    We have no idea if that is an arbitrary number that is an assumption on your part. Futhermore yes in every situation I would rather have the dm tell me what I need to roll. I want to describe what my character is doing not calculate it. :)

    D&D 5E (2014) 5th edition Dungeons and Dragons: "There's a "Mod" for that!

    Its a great goal and if they can pull it off it's hard to imagine it not being a success. As a fan of Debian/Ubuntu being able to customize is a big draw for me. Sign me up for D&D the linux edition. Lets hope WotC learned something last time around and will be more third party friendly this time.

    D&D 5E (2014) How much should 5e aim at balance?

    Once I knew what class i was going to play for this game I figured out what concept I wanted to try and build and then looked through one of the Fighter's handbooks and Char Op threads posted on the WotC boards to see what synergies had been identified that fit. Whne I made my swordmage there...

    Can someoone explain the "Daily Hate" for me?

    I would rather Fighters had a robust suite of at will "powers" that could optionally be augmented perhaps with a dice pool like the CS dice already proposed or some sort of endurance/stamina point pool. I don't really care for artifical limits on sword swinging like once per encounter or once...

    are you more interested in 5e or numenera?

    I've always been intrigued by fantasy settings where there are hints of high technology from ages past. Wheel of Time jumps to mind immediately with its references to the Age of Legends. It is a fun concept to dabble with but DDN and 13th Age are the systems that most interest me at this point.
