    More Than Just a Shaggy Ogre

    Yes, that made me lose faith... Minotaur at this point in "D&D's" history encompasses many things, tying it to a Demon Lord will not work for certain campaign settings; like say, they don't have demons, let alone "Lords" of them. I still dig it, though. ...not the taking an iconic Al-Qadim...

    D&D 5E (2014) Maybe D&D Should Branch?

    Brutal, but true, new editions give you mo money! ...at first.

    So who's making monsters?

    I have converted some monsters (roughly, from all editions) that have appeared in my campaign of 7 years: -Cyclops Crusher -Cyclops Guard -Death Knight -Efreeti -Ferrumach (Rilmani) -Night Hag -Satyr Piper -Solamith

    More Than Just a Shaggy Ogre

    Not Yikaria, those are Yak Men (yaks are not bulls), and are a completely different type of monster (also, campaign specific). It's like calling a pegasus a unicorn.

    D&D 5E (2014) You can't necessarily go back

    True, 3rd Ed can become "He who goes first, wins". i definitely do not like characters auto-healing to full over after an extended rest, but again, that should be a choice, some people dig it (I like that they provided 3 options in the latest play-test).

    More Than Just a Shaggy Ogre

    Thank god they didn't merge Yikaria (Yak Men) with them, totally different kettle of fish, the Yak Men can control Dao (genies), to start.

    Class list for PHB

    Ditch Barbarian and Warlord and I'm golden, barbarian is a cultural/social status, like samurai, you can have a barbaric party, and warlord seems more like a specialty (especially for fighters) to me. On the fence about Assassin, but as my very first character (AD&D) was a Half-Elf Assassin, I...

    D&D 5E (2014) You can't necessarily go back

    Yeah, it's pretty easy for a 3rd Ed Party to be at full HP going into every combat it seems (my experience DMing), not so much in 1st/2nd Ed. Healing should obviously be campaign specific (many options/variants).

    D&D 5E (2014) Changes in Interpretation

    I) I disagree (with your whole post, basically), that is more halfings for me and many people I knew/know, as they are a Tolkien deal, gnomes, dwarves and elves are part of world mythologies. 2) I don't, why drop a classic (legacy) race for dragonborn (whose noses are even more phallic, ha!)...

    D&D 5E (2014) Changes in Interpretation

    I have always dug Gnomes (that picture of Garl Glittergold in the 1st Ed Deities & Demigods is badass!), Druids, and Monks, so was disappointed they were excluded from the 4th Ed PHB 1. I don't know where gnomes got a bad rap, obviously the designers of 4th Ed weren't aware of the glory of the...

    Class list for PHB

    Last I heard all races outside the core 4 would be campaign/world specific (minotaurs for Krynn, etc).

    Have they stated that (every race)?

    Class list for PHB

    I want the monk and psion straight out the gate (in whatever form), not tacked on, after the fact action.

    How many "subclasses"/builds per class?

    Not to me, I think of the 1st Ed Monk, had druidic (talk to animals and plants), roguish (stealth, etc) and psionic (resist ESP, mental attacks) qualities, plus other unique features, I don't think it has particular ties to the cleric; the fighter, some, but definitely their own deal.

    How many "subclasses"/builds per class?

    I can dig it, but I see the druid more closely tied to the cleric than the monk is.

    How many "subclasses"/builds per class?

    Miracles don't sound right for a D&D Monk (nor deities).
