No, I saying that if it's okay when Ogres and Giants fight Dwarves they do half damage on a hit then it is okay for Fighters to be so good with one weapon style they still do some damage on a miss.

What? Where is this idea that only martial healing is geting "support" coming from? And a better question: How do we stop whomever started that nonsense?

I probably pick it up at my LIRWS (Local Internet Retailer Warehouse Store) Cool Stuff Games. It also my FLGS... but it's not a hole in the wall or "Mom and Pop", nor is it's business model the same as most other FLGSes but I really the prices (generally 25-50% lower than msrp) and they have a...

While I don't have a problem with the rules as it is, I agree with Remy and the others who say "this doesn't scream Formation Fighters, it screams skirmishers who prefer to use allies, but can murder PCs in melee if they have to". I'll have to see how this actually plays out with a group...

DING! DING! DING! DING! We have a winner folks!

Yeah, total brauts.

So you're saying he's always the first to die?

I disagree. In my opinion the game systems simply never accounted for an expanded healing role until 4e (and I'm likely wrong here, I haven't combed every single splat book, 3rd party publisher, or set of house rules to know if there were "morale heals" available). However not once were the...

I'm with the "reworking" it crowd. I've already decided if my group plays I'm either making a Barbarian or a Rogue... and the Rogue's background will be the reworked "Spy", from Contact to "Knows a Guy". Instead of it being some Contact he I can reach from almost anywhere, it's whenever he's...

Rogue, rogue, rogue, rogue, and rogue*. Just like the last game I played in BECMI, 2ed, and 3rd ed... * In the 3rd ed game that last one was Bard... but it's close enough.

I, an embittered old grognard with far better options for his money, will be buying it therefore it must already be far better than any previous edition.

2 - So I can be a very small part of it's inevitable success that annoys all the right people.

That the game defines HP and AC in a broad manner that happens to include your narrow definition of them is not a flaw. It also includes DoaM, this is a feature of the definition. Your narrow definition however does not redefine HP and AC. That is the mistake you're making. You obvious don't...

Well.. I distinctly recall it going down the way RE said it did. Not a cite, but... GURPS is my love. I still have GURPS 3e if 4e hadn't wowed me.... and the D&D fans have the same thing (in fact they have it better since there has been very little change in GURPS across it's editions...

Minion: "They camped outside Two-Life Tony's cave and just waited for him to respawn." Dragon: "You take a train over there and you make them an aggro they can't refuse!" Minion: "Yes, Boss Monster." Excerpt from The Order of the Stick webcomic.

Petty Reason I Will Buy 5e: 1 - If it has that Rule Which Has It's Own Temporary Sub-forum.

Wow, the Oracles are really hedging their bets this year aren't they? Central Florida is a weird city... If I had to rate RPGs in terms of popularity this is the list I'd give: #1 - Pathfinder - The FLGSes that have sit in games, this is the second most popular game played their immediately...

Okay, yea that is true. Sorry, I've got Age of Wonder 3, Master of Magic, and other such style games on my brain right as that's what I've been playing all month... In those games ranges units (even piddly ones) chew up melee, sometimes even cav before they can close (if they outnumber the...

Huh. So then the other levels will be "slowing the progression down" then? Is it going to be a slow plateua?

And likely never will be. Vancian magic is to D&D what classes and levels are to D&D.
