So dropping the +2 to hit from the first Playtest was not a good idea in your experience, I have yet to see, I am wondering about that.

Yeah, that's exactly what I don't want, a player having to spend how-many-sessions getting back to where they were because they got slapped by an undead monster.

Exactly! The Sorcerer/Warlock action was definitely to appease the "wha, wha, I won't play 5th Ed if I can't play a non-Vancian Wizard!" malarkey. As for the 1st Ed Monk, I am totally with you (again, gonna have to keep my eye on you), that class is just cool, obviously clunky, but easily...

I like the idea (fear) of Energy Drain, but I do not dig characters having a throw-down with a Pit Fiend, only to run like little girls from a Wight.

I agree the spell thing could be weird, but, man, there was a certain panache about your Ranger blapping something with a magic missile!

I hear they've nailed the Monk for 5th Ed (something like the easiest class to design), yet brought out the Sorcerer and Warlock first. Annoying.

Exactly, I want Psionics (psion) straight out of the gate, or not at all, otherwise it will be once again the tacked on, after-the-fact, redheaded stepchild of D&D.

Total, I was all up for 4th Ed, I even started the 4th Edition Avengers' shenanigans (much to my dismay), but after DMing it consistently for 2 years I became disillusioned. For the past few years I've been looking at all the "Editions" to see what I can come up with, using Basic as a core...

There are no Power Sources (or powers, for that matter) in 5th Ed.

Please, god, no. I detest the dual-wileding, pigeonholing shtick of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Ed Ranger.

Exactly, I want Psionics straight out of the gate, or not at all, lest it be the tacked on, after the fact, redheaded stepchild of the game. And where's my goddamn Monk?!

Total, but what of the Psion? ...if Psionics will even be addressed...(aside from the 1st play-test grey ooze)...

Exactly, I would think a god of the sun is all about scorching! *said very camp*

It seems in this edition to be a reaction to the wah, wah "I will never buy/play this game if I can't have my non-Vancian Wizard!" to me. And, yes, it sounds like the Warlord is in...

I own and read Monster Mythology, thanks.

I'm on your side! ...tranquilo...tranquilo...

Neither of them do, in my experience as a DM.

It is in 5th Ed.

I'm happy that the Quarterstaff is a Finesse weapon, but dumbfounded that Unarmed Strike is not.

Wizards cannot cast spells in amour; fine with me.
