I am all for upping the challenge and taking things that are not optimal. Last night our party was beat to hell and it was so much cooler that the curb stomps we often do. I say get crazy and go for it. It always pays off in enjoyment if it’s your choice!

Love it. We played a 1e campaign with an an evil barbarian two thieves and a fighter/assassin. It was epic. The dm was generous with potions in towns and we stocked up for sure. I guess that was our “mod”

There are many reasons I like str more than dex and one of them is that I never want to be tempted to use a rapier. In fact, I would use a s d6 shortsword well before a rapier. I read something about the advantages of the Gladius recently and durability was one of them. I get people like them...

I would like an electric car at some point…but not yet. I had a conference in New Orleans and the freedom I felt hopping in my gti and driving all day left an impression… Driving in South Dakota and Wyoming did too. Being able to “go” anytime anywhere is something I can’t let go of… My car...

Well you know what Ewoks mean from A Freudian perspective don’t you? I don’t either but I want you to take back what you said about them. Now.

You’re not lying.

In response to the OP: I don’t care about how I am labeled. I play D&D…I love it and have for decades. What I would like is a tag for posts that says 5e 2014 or some such. I expect I will use some 5e 2024 material and some from 2014. When discussing characters I just folks to know which phb...

I might be yuan-ti or duergar… I keep making my saves vs. not-charm and avoid posting to here where it won’t be well taken.

100% As an example at our scale… Do intelligent people ever make bad decisions? They do indeed! But not because they are stupid…

You might? Be missing my point. Maybe not… It is without question we are smart! Where we go astray there are some psychological tendencies to blame, not our intelligence. Those things were probably adaptive at one time. Some things that were very adaptive during our dim history are not...

Look at the bell curve. There are people that are +3 standard deviations out… And some -3…but in aggregate we are adaptable and solve a lot of problems even ones we tend to create. The real issues are psychological ones..social psychology and other domains show how our reasoning get...

Oh yeah, I specifically meant places to easily discuss on ENWorld. I am fortunate with built in groups—-my kids and lifelong pals all of whom take turns DMing! Of course we are so busy it never happens enough. I am not worried about losing games but really value talking about it here on...

I am so far not interested in what I see of phb. I am neither mad nor planning to shun all 5.5. I am hoping there are some Designated 5.0 spaces. I think it matters for “character builds” in particular.

No but I anticipate things will change. Maybe I am wrong.

I would like a separate category for threads since it looks like I will probably stick with 2014 D&D save maybe the dmg and Maybe? MM? I am sure I will get some adventures. But if I am talking about character design for my favorite class, I won’t want Dewback I can’t use.

Was thinking same thing. Port that monster over…

I am really torn. I have really enjoyed 5e but am a 1e fan. Really played it from mid to late 80s as kids right up to 3rd in 2000, skipping 2e. When we play 5e, I enjoy lower levels a lot. Staying there longer makes sense if you like that kind of play. Milestone is ok but if you like more...

I don’t know…but my friend has a flying monkey familiar. He usually rides on his shoulders and looks ahead. My friend is cautious and paranoid and wanted him to face backwards…we asked about the logistics of this and if the monkey wears pants while he presumably was seated on the characters...

So literally every post is about what you don’t like. Every one…unless its drive by snark about what someone else likes. Are you even having fun with your hobby? If so crack a smile and talk about what you do like my man. Talk about your favorite character or some sh..t and break it up a little.

It all sucks. It’s all a conspiracy: you have been tricked into liking X. The only reason you don’t like Y is that the people who wanted Y to succeed tricked you into not liking it enough. But y hey wanted me to like Y too…? Wait. I…am just going to…so am I supposed to only trust myself...
