Oh, yeah, I remember that! I didn't realize it was the same character. Definitely not what a high-level fighter (or barbarian) can do in 5E, but perhaps an epic level 30 fighter... 🤷‍♂️ I know it isn't a game I would play and I certainly wouldn't want to play in a D&D game at that sort of...

Yeah, I am with @Lanefan on this one. Until I tried 3E in 2007, no one I ever played with or heard of did max hp at 1st level. Since hp could go to -9/10 (depending on reading), even having low hp at level 1 wasn't a death sentence. In that respect, it was very rare if I met anyone who did...

Not really, just write features which would allow him to do "god-like" feats of strength and endurance, etc.

Speaking as one of the "nones", I would be a "No, but I do play 5E".

Yeah, really nice to see we're back to not agreeing on anything. It felt unnatural when we were. :P I mean, you know you will never get rid of wizards in D&D, right? And they will probably just become more and more powerful so you can complain more and more. Maybe that will make you happy...

Go for it! :) I'd be interested to see what you come up with. Well, ignoring them when they are trying to help is sort of rude. If you don't like their solutions (no issue) propose ones and show the work.

Yep, pretty much best AD&D anime out there IMO. Highly recommended.

I prefer 4d6-4, range 0-20, avg. 10, odds of 20 or 0 are just 1 in 1,296. I actually bought a lot of d6's with 0 instead of 6, so you get 0 - 20 as each die is 0-5. Cool! I did the sort of the same thing: Roll 3d20. Attacking: take worst roll. Made success in battle harder than the 60+% WotC...

As per the mod's request, I'm bowing out. I've said my piece and stand by it. Cheers.

True, and that is unfortunately the biggest issue with it. 🤷‍♂️ I always found 1E to be more balanced. But again, it is subjective--as you say. ;) Tedious to you (and probably others, I'm sure!), but not for me (or others as well, I know), but they did help balance things. But is a HUGE...

Not really. This. 👆 Even better news: I can hang out wherever I please. If you don't like what I have to say on a topic, you are also free to ignore it. :) FWIW, it is no torture. I accepted it a long time ago in 3E when WotC took over. Cool, I hope you can make a difference! (I won't hold...

Interesting, I'll have to think about that... Yeah, I already starting doing that and decided it wasn't worth the hassle.

LOL, yeah, I remember this one. Just about every group I know give a feat at first level already! This is more of just WotC catching up with what players and DMs are already doing... Sure, the people who want these ideas playtest them and report on how much they love them. Again...

Sure, but that is only one part of balance. LOL partly, but also longer casting times so spells can be interrupted in combat, choosing all your prepared spells by slot instead of free-casting prepared spells, getting rid of spell foci and spell component pouches so spell components actually...

Bug. Something (which rarely happens) @Vaalingrade and I agree on. :) The same? No. Balanced? Yes. Balance can be obtained in a number of ways, and in prior editions they existed in those ways. In 5E, they have mostly been cast aside. I have read people posting this was because of blowback...

I'm not surprised most things score this high. People who object to the changes aren't likely to playtest it or bother with filling out any surveys about it. People who like the changes will playtest it and then take the survey expressing how much they like it. Sort of a self-fulfilling...

Did you look at it before posting that? The last page basically two posters arguing about smite damage vs. fighter ability. The only mention I saw of wizards was about it casting Hold Person: Hmm... maybe. I don't recall much of people simply claiming "Fighters should just role-play more..."...

Thanks. I've watched a couple videos of his fights online so that gives me a better idea. For me, that would be "epic" levels (21-30), not just "powerful high-level martials" (as in maybe 14-20 levels for me). Yep. That is the problem with people sporting "remove wizard" and "wizard should be...

That is one person out of thousands... Yeah, I remember that thread. Wizards (any full-caster really) is "all that" (Bards just as easily fit the bill, if not better in some ways...) but as I noted in my last post, that is just because spells are not balanced against what non-casters can do. I...
