I'm fine with them being considered guidelines. They were in previous editions as well. It was, however, assumed that characters met certain threshholds at certain levels. If your characters weren't equipped, statted, etc etc to meet those baseline assumptions, then you needed to account for...

I would not consider this accurate. They have been in EVERY iteration. Not just the ones I liked.

Incorrect. The people who hated it and won't play 4e will still not, and 5e will fail just like it's predecessor. If you can't see the difference between things from Basic almost 40 years ago like Level and AC and things like "striker" and "defender" which sound more like soccer positions than...

Str 18 (20) (24 w/rage) Con 16 (18) (22 w/rage) 16, 10, 11, 10, 11, 10, 11 = 79, 93 while raging. Dr 1/- +1 Flaming Greatsword +2 Gauntlets of Ogre Power +2 Amulet of Health +14 2d6+10 +1d6 fire Looks fairly comparable to a hill giant to me. Not perfect, but comparable.

Some have been around since the beginning, and don't take me out of my immersion. Many, like the ones mentioned by me, do take ME out of immersion. It's a personal preference (albeit one that seems shared by a number of people)

SO, from my reading.... It sounds like the CR type stuff is in (but feel free to ignore like always) Wealth guidelines are in (but feel free to ignore) Other charts for treasure, xp and encounters are in (but feel free to ignore) Roles and their silly names will be removed/marginalized. This...

The worst for me are the ones that are overly game-y, such as Daily Powers, Healing Surge, THAC0, Encounter Powers, Striker, Defender, Controller. Those are the ones I wish to see done away with

Rogue - "Boy, I would sure like to attack that squishy wizard who is fireballing my friends, and my fighter friend even provided a flank. Sadly, NON-MAGICALLY, this other fighter is somehow subverting my high intelligence and forcing me to attack him." Yah, that make sense. I can do without...

From secondary sources. Not from Amazon itself, same with Borders (when it existed), B&N and many of the bigger booksellers. The local gamestores will have what they already had purchased, but that's it.

All the bookstores here removed all of the 3.5 stuff the day they put out the 4e stuff. You can still get it on the secondary market. However, if it holds to the 3.5 standard (which I seriously doubt) expect to pay nearly cover price for used core books.

Based on the numbers...they don't seem to be missing your sales. Maybe you should buy some more 4e stuff and help them try and catch up.

Oh noes! S'ok. I'll go spend some more on well written modules for a great game and make up for it. Silly Grogn4rds.

I have played 3.0/3.5/PF since the release of the system. This is not the experience I have ever had. Granted, no one has the ability to teleport 10 feet while being shot at by arrows, but somehow loses the ability when no one is shooting at them, so that changes the movement a little.

I think the Paladin and Cleric should merge, and all gods should have access to them. Heavy armor, good fighting, decent healing, small small selection of attack or mass buff spells. No Righteous Might/Divine power type spells The priest should then be the "cleric", except no armor/light...

"According to ICV2 Wizards of the Coast is no longer the best selling RPG. Pathfinder is. ICV2 are a specialist firm of consultants who track the comic book, anime, games and collectible markets. Their sales charts have some authority" Pathfinder outsells Dungeons and Dragons Pathfinder...

How does this change with the "Turn Undead = Fireball" change I mentioned? Either way, the cleric is involved and either way it makes the challenge easier. I would maintain that the all or nothing of the TURN mechanic actually made it so undead were more dangerous than the "save and still take...

They have to have a baseline for everything. As such, "balanced party of 4-5 PCs" is a good place to start. You can't write the DMG and have 12 paragraphs for each subject, 1 for each possible makeup of the party. It just won't work. I would much rather work from the assumption of a balanced...

I still prefer the old school, where turning undead meant just that. They ran away from you. I am not a huge fan of the damaging fireball effect. I think I'd rather they just made a mechanic for turn undead, and have it work that way for everything, UNLESS otherwise noted. I sure as heck...

High fantasy is defined in a way that the Realms are pure high fantasy. Just because your own personal definition doesn't match what it actually means, doesn't change the real meaning.
