How about a system where you spent a feat, chose a spell and you now cast that spell better. The spell itself doesn't take up any more resource than before, but you had to spend a whole feat for a single spell improvement. So a real specialist might dump 5 feats into fireball and cast the best...

Well, that wasn't put out by WotC, so what can they do? My preference for continuing books has a lot to do with the baseline mechanics. If character creation choices allow me to choose race A, apply racial feat B, choose class C, use some form of multiclassing so I also have features of class...

That poll is hard to answer because I want lots of mechanical differences for race, but mechanics that aren't the domain of class or theme. If the mechanics they put into a race are stat bonuses and bonuses to attacks granted by class, no thanks. Although dipping a toe into skills isn't too...

I heard the designers talk about this one. They considered it, and to try to appease both sides of the debate, dragonborn females will now be a B cup.

I seriously cannot answer this poll. I look at one option and say "I'm that" then the next and say "I'm that" etc. I seem to be 50/50/50. The only redeeming factor of this theory is that you can tell a broad-appeal game by it being similarly difficult to categorize. BTW, if you want a couple of...

A My Little Pony roleplaying game, you say. Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

My impression, from having read all the tidbits I can but not having been there, is people enjoyed a really fun convention game. The craziness, though, doesn't sound great for a campaign.

...and that's the reasoning that led to my game store closing. The extra price you pay at a game store over online prices is so that there is a game store.

Is lederhosen a weapon or armor? I guess it depends on what you're packing inside.

When I posted the idea of Elf class and Elf theme, I should have made it clear that it was something you could homebrew. It does not belong in a major publication, no more than the ability to play a psychic badger.

You guys didn't hear? There aren't going to be the six stats anymore. D&D is moving to a singular stat. It's the Monostat system.

Except if that big number is a saving throw. Huge stats mean impossible to hit/affect.

I was born a Dwarf, but now I am a professional Elf for hire. Don't touch the ears.

Bleh. Characters a walking bags of numbers? No thanks. Give me lots of Dwarfy Dwarfiness and you can spread it out over the adventuring career so I don't get too much at level 1.

Well, for the first part, we don't even know if there are sneak attacks in 5E in the way they've appeared in other editions.

You know, from my experience, I wouldn't say that WOW players are pretending to be elves. I don't think they're pretending anything. They're playing a video game set in a richly realized world that they like, but I really don't think they are buying into their characters. They don't think about...

I'll have to think out a good long post for later, but for now I just want to say that I want the races to feel like they stepped out of the pages of a fantasy novel. The good novels, I mean, not most of the garbage out there.

Oh, I agree. It's no more DM fiat than the DM setting a DC for a task, however there seemed to be implied a narrower range where you roll with greater sections for auto success and auto failure. But, yes, it is otherwise mechanically very similar to setting a DC.

Goblins are the enemies of Dwarves, not Orcs. Also the percentage stuff has to change to skill bonuses, but with open-ended skills the bonuses can be worded how you like. Other than that, spot on. I might even have a selectable bump for a selection of attacks, with different choices to suit...

He confirmed that humans are in 5E! HEY, WOTC, WE GOT AN NDA BREAKER OVER HERE!
