    D&D 5E (2014) Should the +1 Sword Exist in 5E?

    If this is supposed to be the edition to unite them, then I want my +1 through +5 weapons. I want my Belt of Hill Giant Strength, my Gauntlets of Ogre Power, my Rod of Lordly Might, my WAND of Wonder and all of the other iconic items. Based on the performance of 4e, I think they are better...

    Healing Without Surges

    I don't want healing surges at all. Bed rest and magical healing are my preferred methods. Not all fighters should have wizards "not-magic" magic, not all fighters should heal themselves. Clerics need to not be a fighter replacement (only a temp stand in). Give everyone their role, and need...

    Why did you stay with an earlier edition?

    We switched from 1 to 2, from 2 to 3 and 3 to 3.5....but no one would make the switch to 4. 4, in our group's opinion, was not D&D. It was Advanced Worlds and Warcrafts. Giant swords that were ridiculous looking, no Vancian magic, everything had spikes (I think the armor spikes had armor...

    Druid's Venom Immunity

    D&D 3.x Do you get the impression more people have left 3.5 for 4th?

    No one I know moved to 4e. A few tried PF, but 3.5 is stillt he main game in town.

    2 part inquirey, favorite class and why

    In my opinion, it's not even a comparison. Argent Savant has medium BAB, much smaller hit dice AND you lose a caster level. Compared to full bab, d10 and full caster progression of the Abjurant Champ. This doesn't even take into account the ability to cast swift abjuration spells with no...

    2 part inquirey, favorite class and why

    You cast as well as a wizard, except you get full BAB, better hit dice, and some nifty abilities. It is better than a vanilla wizard in every way EXCEPT, familiar progression and the free metamagic feats every 5.

    2 part inquirey, favorite class and why

    My favorite class I've ever played would be (at 10th): Illumian Rogue 1\Wizard 6\Lore Delver 3 With the Krau and Naen Sigils, Able Learner and other feats to taste. I was able to be both the wizard (full CL, 1 spell level behind) and the rogue. He was a lot of fun to play

    The Delver, a professional adventurer [new base class, PEACH]

    Seems like a full caster level Loredelver to me...but not as good in spell selection, better in # of spells per day and is a spontaneous caster.

    D&D 3.x What do you ban? (3.5)

    Power Attack isn't banned in our game, but it is nerfed to 1-1.5 ratio, instead of 1-2 with a 2 handed weapon. So dropping 2 into power attack yields 3 extra damage, etc.

    How come no one's publishing the old Corebooks?

    I don't think they are being artificially inflated, I think they are in demand. I personally have never seen, or met anyone playing 4th edition (or even buy any 4th material). It's all 3.5 or Pathfinder here. If the demand is still there for 3.5, why not make a profit on it. 3.0 books are...

    How come no one's publishing the old Corebooks?

    Prices on all of those books aren't reasonable. My DM has been looking for a 3.5 MM after his other one disappeared in a move. Ebay was running close to cover price for used books. I finally found 1 on a used book site for 15, which is kind of pricey, considering I found most of my other...

    World's Largest Dungeon in actual play [Spoilers!]

    We played through up til 14th level, then got TPKed by the Charisma draining Dread Wraiths in the tomb. Since our DM ruled it was corrosive and not negative energy, we had no defenses against it. We had been a party of 4 with 1 NPC Dwarf Clr6\Radiant Servant 8 Dwarf Wiz8\Ftr1\RuneCaster5...

    What do you think of the Duskblade?

    Playing a Duskblade now. My only beefs are that the class needs one of the following: Slightly faster spell progression OR Slightly more variety in spells. I'd be happy with the slow learning curve if there was a little more choice for some utility spells. I don't want Wraithstrike...

    PrCs - which ones are (a bit) over the edge?

    My DM won't allow Abjurant Champion. He and one of the other players are the only ones who I have seen complain about it however.

    Reaper to produce pre-painted Plastic minis - Non-random

    If they release 40 a year (which was mentioned previously as what they do for metal), they'll be less then 25% as many as DDM. Which means they won't be "large selection". I can't imagine they will be "ebay orc" cheap either. But we'll see in another 4 or so months I guess.

    The Illusion of Powergaming

    So if one person wants to play a lame, mange-ridden 1 eyed gnoll with a cataract, who also happens to be a deaf mute, because it will be "great to RP", everyone should play a character that has no business being an adventurer?

    Non-random D&D Miniatures

    that's not bad? $1 per mini? and you have to paint them? Guess I'm not that picky about equipment to pay almost double AND have to paint them.
