Could definitely become my favorite edition. Won't settle for Basic though, I want the full package.

Oui

Sarcasm, not irony.

You do realize that you have never been able to cast a normal spell and a swift spell in the same round? Swift Spells. A swift spell requires but an utterance. A spell that has a swift casting time can be cast as your action or as part of another action. If you cast the spell as part of another...

FWIIW our playtest campaign (1-9) has been doing decently with just a paladin as healer. Looking at the druid, I am pretty sure he will be able to fill the healer slot as well.

Only used the legendary monster template once, when they fought a level 10 black dragon. Tweaked it a bit, to fit the new stats I had given the dragon, but the mechanics worked very well, the combat options and moves seemed a natural fit to the dragon, and the combat felt very... natural...

Been playtesting seriously only since november/december, but campaign is going well and my players are halfway through level 9. IME, the monsters are the part of Next that require the most tweaking. I find, if balance vis-a-vis the encounter guidelines is what you are looking for, they need a...

170.000 playtesters! ;) Licensed out to another compagny. They just had an add out for hiring an editor(?) who would have as part of his job to work with the licensee of digital tools.

Aye. The barbarian is just brutal. The combination of high damage and perma-advantage is a bit too good. I am hoping for the nerf-bat to hit it, before release.

Pretty sure Mearls or Perkins have stated both options will be in 5e.

11+ definitely. I rarely keep them though. I buy them, read them for inspiration and then resell them. But between PDF and hardcopies, I would guess the actual number is in the hundreds.

It was on Twitter, maybe Trevor or a free-lancer close to WotC? In either case, as I recall it, he was very clear that it was something he would love, but there was no such thing in the works. At least, that's how I recall it.

My guess for what will be in the Basic Set looks like this: Races: human, elf (high), dwarf (mountain), halfling (stout) Classes: fighter (warrior), cleric (war), Wizard (evoker) and Rogue (thief)

Indeed, very interesting. And in my book, a win for those of us who want to buy D&D adventures, but might feel underwhelmed at times by WotC's efforts in the field. With that said, it is very likely it is only for the first couple of adventures, simply because all resources have been devoted to...

Great news, can't wait for July 15th, which is perfect, since the World Cup is just over ;) Thalmin never trolls when it comes to this. He has been around forever and has provided such info before.

Yep, all new spells are used by monsters and NPCs.

I am intrigued. Why do you do this? Could you expand a bit on the pros and cons? What system do you use, and does it matter? The reason I am asking, is because my regular group has shrunk from 7 regular to 3, sometimes 4 players over the course of the last 20 years. As we aren't really...

It's been years since I last used it, but it was basically a framework and guidelines to build units of war using the 4e roles. So a unit of orc barbarians would be a brute, with perhaps over average damage but low AC, while a unit of roman soldiers would be stated as a soldier. Furthermore, a...

Not answering for Derren (obviously) but the best I have tried (ie those that worked best for my group), across all editions, was those published by One Bad Egg for 4e.

I can totally see at least 50 frequent posters claiming WotC lied to them if they do not publish a DMG now. Maybe that is why Mike flinched. :D
