    D&D 5E (2014) Monte Cook Leaves WotC - No Longer working on D&D Next [updated]

    I am assuming they are human, and thus follow the general tenets of human nature. It's always easier to point out the flaws of other people's work than it is to find the flaws of your own. When the whole team is made up of those who had major involvement in 4e, I have less faith that they are...

    The Sky is Not Falling

    And I'd rather see 3.80 than 4e-anything. However, that won't solve anything. The only hope was to have 5e be good enough to bring a good chunk of the previous groups together. I'm just glad Coke didn't listen to you when they decided to ditch New Coke and go back to the old version, because...

    D&D 5E (2014) Monte Cook Leaves WotC - No Longer working on D&D Next [updated]

    Without any sort of dissent on a 4e-centric design team, no, people won't get over it. Heck, as I typed this someone suggested another 4e person join the team. SOMEONE is needed that those of us that disliked 4e and most everything it brought to the table, could trust to see our side of...

    The Sky is Not Falling

    You can SAY the sky isn't falling, but when the one guy you think you can trust to not let 5e become 4.5e leaves the design team? That's a big ol' chunk of sky beginning it's descent. And for the extra kick in the twig and berries, it's been less than 24 hours, and we are already back to...

    D&D 5E (2014) How are you feeling about 5e?

    Can't XP you, but I will quote this to show my full agreement with that statement

    D&D 5E (2014) Monte Cook Leaves WotC - No Longer working on D&D Next [updated]

    Interest in 5e now waning. To elaborate, I've enjoyed almost everything Cook has done. The others...less so.

    What about my dragonborn

    Except Eladrins aren't elves in any way shape or form. They are CG celestials with their own subraces. Brelani, Ghaele, etc. Eladrin appeared 12 years before 4e as well. Their CG celestial beings cred extends to 3 times longer than their 4e rebranded elves cred. Devas also have their own...

    warlord healing

    Warlord's being able to chit chat someone up to a certain % of Hps would be ok with me. This would simulate that not all hps are just physical damage, but also show that some HPs ARE physical damage. I've stated from the beginning that skills, poultices, and other non-magical healing should...

    D&D 4E Things wrong with 4e: Dragons

    Red, Blue, Green, Black and White Gold, Silver, Copper, Bronze and Brass Sapphire, Amethyst, Emerald, Topaz and Crystal Then the few oddballs: Shadow, Deep, Fang and Song Should be enough dragons for any of my campaigns :)

    What about my dragonborn

    I don't want the Dragonborn, "Eladrin", "Devas" and warforged in the core for a variety of reasons. Warforged, Shifters, Changelings and Dragonborn to some extent, are setting specific. They make more sense to me in a campaign setting book. Eladrin and Devas because they stole names from...

    What about my dragonborn

    I agree there too. Especially since we have one guy in our group who plays half-orcs almost exclusively. Barbarian X/Other Class X Half Orc....always. Half-orc Barbarian 1\Warlock 8 Half-orc Barbarian 1\Spirit Shaman 7 Half-orc Barbarian 4\Fighter 4 Repeat as new character needed. No...

    What about my dragonborn

    I forgot the Robots...err..Warforged. In my perfect game they'd be out, but they are fine for a module/setting specific book.

    What about my dragonborn

    My preference IN Core: Gnome, Halfings, Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Half-Orcs, Half-Elves Out of Core (secondary or Setting Specific): Dragonborn, Tiefling, Illumian, Drow, all the other odd/monstrous races Out forever: Eladrin (retcon the unholy orcus out of this travesty)

    You're playing it wrong

    I don't see anything so far indicating encounter powers. I must be overlooking something.

    D&D 5E (2014) [Ro3 4/24/2012] The Action Economy of D&D Next

    My rogue has it, because it's one of those weak feats we've houseruled to improve (if you have twf, you may draw both weapons at once with it, assuming they are light). As written, it's not good at all, since in the first round you usually aren't adjacent to a foe, and you can draw a weapon as...

    D&D 5E (2014) [Ro3 4/24/2012] The Action Economy of D&D Next

    Once every 20 minutes? Seriously? I usually don't have time to grab a frosty beverage in 3e before I'm up again.

    D&D 5E (2014) [Ro3 4/24/2012] The Action Economy of D&D Next

    Shoehorned is a loaded term. I believe not all of the 1,2, 3 AND 4e classes existed when the game was initially released, but I wouldn't call them "shoehorned" in. That implies they were shoved in to someplace that wasn't adequate to handle them, which I would say is inaccurate. I do agree...
