One way to keep breasticled lizards out of 5e.

All opinion, not fact.

Yah...not interested in re-skinned 4e. It certainly could fail that way. I hope it's more new ideas with an old school feel than 4.75.

1 round 10 rounds 10 minutes 1 hour 24 hours I am fine with all of those, depending on spell power. Endure elements? 24 hours something like Righteous Might? 10 rounds Flight? 10 minutes Overland Flight? 1 hour

Disagree. I'd much rather have half-orcs than lizard people with mammalian sexual characteristics. Half-Orcs have been around since first edition as well, so they are completely plausible for the D&D world.

Half-Elves - Want Half-Orcs - Don't care So if it's choice between not having either or having both, I'd rather have them both in. They have a lot of history in the game.

Agreed. Only one person I've gamed with in the last 5 years is under 35 right now. Most are nearing or surpassing 40. Heck, I don't think most of the people that played D&D Miniatures were much under 30 even. I know I spent close to 5k on those.

Incorrect. No components I've seen provide bonuses to your spells. Implements are another potential set of bonuses to track. Can you point out where I said anyone wasn't needed? I specifically said people like me, ARE needed, not that anyone else isn't. FYI, I am in my 30s as well, but...

It was about 80-20 iirc...on Wizard's site...where it's mainly current customers. I definitely will be putting in my 8 cents worth

I am only outside any audience because of the previous edition. I still own thousands of dollars worth of 1st, 2nd, and 3x edition stuff. If all they want are the people from their last edition, 5e will not meet their sales goals. They lured me into the discussion with a game that will feel...

A lot of us won't house rule it at all. We won't buy it. I've got perfectly good systems with house rules already in place, no need to spend hundreds of dollars to repeat the process if the game isn't better.

Can't xp you again...but...exactly. :erm:

That was one of the few highlights from the chat. I've been saying that since day 1, so it's nice to see them stating it as well. Not everyone needs to be perfectly equal every single encounter because they are all special little snowflakes. It's ok for the Wizard to shine here, the rogue to...

My group is all registered for the playtest. We'll be trying it out and providing honest feedback. If others feel differently about the game and want something more akin to 4e, cool and the gang. I don't feel obligated to buy a game just to keep D&D alive. If I don't like it, I'll vote with...

What do you think the poll would look like from a Retro-clone site? How about from Paizo's website? The vast majority of the people voting are the ones that stayed with 4e (this is an assumption, but one I would wager my D&D collection on). Those of us that ran from 4e, don't go there really.

Too bad it's not an option. It's the default right now. This is one of those things that if it is assumed in core that all wizards can blast all day, will be a huge strike against the system for me.

They are required in the same way that a +2 sword is required. If it exists within the game system, monsters and NPCs adversaries are built with the expectation that you have access to such things. I don't want that to be a core assumption, I don't want all spells having attack rolls and I...

I want no part of required implements. Much prefer the Basic, 1e, 2e, 3e way of doing it, wands have charges and hold spells.

I want Morale guidelines, not hard and fast rules. My preferred method would be notes in the monster writeup, "Goblins are cowardly and tend to flee when reduced below half their original number" This puts it right back in the DMs hand, just like aggro mechanics

Wonder if my wife would kill me for a 5k pledge :uhoh:
