    What would you like to see happen with FR?

    the second definition of Golem is An Automaton or Robot...so...yah. Here's my point on the FR thing. If suddenly they removed Warforged, or changed them to being Cyborgs instead of robots, and then act like they've always been that way (ie suddenly elves are "eladrin") or suddenly level 20...

    What would you like to see happen with FR?

    This is how I feel about Eberron and robots being forced down my throat in the tail end of 3.5

    D&D 4E 4E combat and powers: How to keep the baby and not the bathwater?

    And I dislike 4e powers because they were "not-magic" magic. Everyone did the same thing with a different name. Should fighters have more to do? Yes. Cleaves, bullrushes, trips, whirlwinds etc etc, should all be things they can do without blowing all of their feats on them. However, if they...

    Monte Cook: Guidance for Monsters and Treasure

    I love using the random treasure tables to determine what the magic/armor/arms shop may have for magical goodies.

    What would you like to see happen with FR?

    Yes I am. I make no bones about it either. It was, in my opinion, the worst thing I've ever seen done to a setting where the majority of their best selling novels came from. I think you'll find that some of the authors that have to write in the new world feel the same.

    Vancian Spellcasting's Real Problem - CoDzilla

    We once wanted to try a 3.5 campaign with all warforged multiclass wizards with repair spells. Never got quite too it yet.

    Help me Enworld, you're my only hope!

    They were also original classes. Spirit Shaman came out in Complete Divine, and really, there weren't a lot of books with divine type prestige classes after that. That would be the main reason. And to be fair, Spirit shaman is better than any of the classes you mentioned (except wiz and...

    Vancian Spellcasting's Real Problem - CoDzilla

    Stomping over niches is still a spell issue, not the system of magic issue. If you threw Righteous Might or Divine Power doing the same thing it did in 3.5 into 4e as a daily power(let alone encounter), it would still mess things up.

    Help me Enworld, you're my only hope!

    Spirit shamans are already ridiculously good. They don't need anything special really.

    Something Awful leak.

    This is exactly where I am. I have all the 3.5 books and all the PF adventure paths (something WotC has neglected entirely). I am an adult with a lot of disposable income, but I'm not going to give any of it to Wizards until they prove they won't just mess it up. The only money they have...

    Something Awful leak.

    Here's the thing. They now KNOW that 4e style won't work, they lost too many people when they switched. They know people won't switch from 3.x, PF, 1st or 2nd to the 4e system. How many of those 4e people (many of whom played older versions) won't switch back if they fix some of the balance...

    D&D 5E (2014) First Strike: Initiative in Next

    Either individual at start of combat or individual each round (with weapon speed modifiers :D)

    Remove Expected Wealth Levels

    According to all the people who say 3.5 was so broken...yes. The wizard will ALWAYS have the proper spells. :cool:

    Vancian Spellcasting's Real Problem - CoDzilla

    The problem with clerics and druids is they went too far in trying to make up for the healing being "boring" fix. As mentioned in the thread about the Cleric/Priest divide, I would rather see a cleric become the lightly armored spell caster, who heals and has the nifty attack spells, while the...

    Vancian Spellcasting's Real Problem - CoDzilla

    Considering it's been this way, barring the very short 4e break, since Basic... 40 years is quite a history for something like that to "break your immersion".

    Something Awful leak.

    It's been stated in a few articles that Pathfinder is now the #1 selling RPG. If that is true, (I can't independently verify it), then it doesn't matter if Paizo is doing well for how big they are or not. It's still doing better than WotC when it comes to the Pathfinder / 4E divide. How is it...

    In a world where the quadratic wizard could exist, the quadratic wizard wouldn't...

    My dm does actually target the spell casters if the enemy has a decent intelligence. Also, I've lost many a wizard due to poor planning, bad luck or just simply being outmatched. Dragons are the ones to worry about, not wizards.

    D&D 4E 4E combat and powers: How to keep the baby and not the bathwater?

    Actually, Jump check to jump up and grab it (its already in 3.5, no need for any extra rules) If you grab the chandelier with your jump check, I would count the swinging as your movement, no need for a check. Finally, an attack at no negative, because it's cool, and a tumble or balance check...

    Remove Expected Wealth Levels

    I would still disagree. A 10th level wizard with a ring of wizardry 2 will be far more dangerous to an encounter than a fighter getting a sword bumped from +2 total to +4 total bonuses.

    Something Awful leak.

    Then why seemingly so worked up about 5e? If you don't want to switch...don't. I know lots that never switched from 3 to 4, 1 to 2, etc etc
