This is an interesting thread to read, I've not played/run 5.5 so haven't seen weapon mastery in play but I always felt they didn't quite work as is but otherwise looked like a good addition (I was planning on some house rules if I did move, mostly that warriors learn a weapon mastery keyword...

Since damage type rarely matters, why not just allow the draconic sorcerer to cast their energy type spells as the original element or their element at will when they cast? Allows them to always get a small damage bonus when throwing converted fireballs or lightning bolts and still allows them...

Nice, I like hearing about homebrew settings and how they mess with standard dnd lore. Thinking about it, I don't even know what the standard dnd lore is on the origin of dragonborn. Dragonborn in my setting might be a little boring by comparison, they were created from the eggs of dragons...

Were the cultists upset by their new appearance and abilities or did they accept it as a close second to what they wanted?

I'd just stick with giving them wings if I really felt the need to distinguish them. Otherwise they still have their breath weapon and resistances which I feel do a pretty good job at separating them from lizardfolk.

Eh, whatever you want to call them, the feel of it to me was just like everyone being a caster.

Advantage, rolled 1 and 20

You're definitely right, being forced, or forcing yourself to read I feel really sucjs the joy out of reading. I had a flatmate who did 75 hard, and a daily requirement was reading 10 pages, not much but still if you have to rather than want to, I can't imagine enjoying it. And if you are...

Yes, it is my personal perception, this is a forum, it's all opinion. I don't care if you agree, I don't even think this is controversial. I also don't think this makes 4e a bad game, but feel is important and all classes felt like caster to me and many others.

Whether you agree or not, the fact that all powers, no matter the class were fire and forget made them all similar to casters in previous editions. Doesn't matter that they might recharge after an encounter or a day, it all seemed like casters.

Considering the warlord came out in 4e, they were most definitely a non magical spellcaster, because everyone was a spellcaster with limit "slots" in the way of encounter and daily powers.

There are a few books/authors that I've bounced off. I can't read Tolkien and I ended up putting down Foundation. Both sound exactly like what I should like, but I just can't get throigh them.

The only one of his I can recall is the time machine (also one which I've not read), sounds like another author to add. Henry Rider Haggard was an entertaining author, I went through a few of his Allan Quartermain books a while back. The book "She" is one I would highly recommend if you haven't...

I don't think I've ever read any Jules Verne so in an effort to kickstart me getting back into reading I've started 20,000 leagues under the sea. I'm only around a quarter of the way in, but I'm really enjoying it. I've a few others of his works to read afterwards like the mysterious island and...

I think if I was going to break canon in the Star Wars, I wouldn't recast the main characters, I'd just say "The Rebellion lost, Yavin 4 was lost and the Death Star remains a threat to any who would think of fighting against the might of the Empire". I think running a star wars game where the...

Listening to one of their tracks now, it's actually decent, though not quite the sound of what I like to listen to. The lyrics don't seem completely non-sensical either (no worse than many actual musicians), not sure if the lyrics were programmed in or not. Definitely an interesting experiment.

I've rewatched the entirety of mash twice in the last few years. I also like to watch an occasional transformers G1 episode. Pretty sure I've also rewatched all of star trek in the last couple years (TOS, TNG, VOY, DS9) including all of the movies.

I like to think they use public transport, but like, think of the city with the worst public transport you know, it's worse in hell. Devils trying to get to the prime plane to start possessing people but the train out of hell has broken down... again.

I've been playing pirate borg and everything you have to roll for has a DC 12 (players also roll to defend) and armour is light, medium, heavy reducing damage by d2, d4, or d6. Heavier armours reduce your agility which I think is what you roll to defend (only played a few sessions, some things...

I was considering getting the new FR book, but over time I've realised I'm probably not going to get it in the end (maybe if I can pick it up at a discount). Because I'm not moving to 5.5 (and only rarely playing 5e nowadays) I just don't think that this is going to be useful for me. The lore...
