Lack of dragonboobs is a dealbreaker for me! :p

So... doesn't that make the paladin and warrior cleric sort of redundant once the 17 Charisma req is removed? Especially now that the god emphasis is being lessened with a cleric?

Look at the 4e cleric. You had Str based clerics who hit with weapons, and you had Wisdom based "laser" clerics who stood back and attacked at range. They just decided to split these into two separate classes. Which is fantastic to me. I've always preferred the "Priest" style. Feels very...

There's also the possibility your group could just not cut out for sandbox play. Either it just doesn't fit their personality or their tastes. You can't make them, and if they genuinely prefer linear games, why fight it? Having been on these boards for years, and I have to say I find there to...

Tolkien's writing style is... not appealing to me, and I know the story. So I'm not interested.

I guess someone getting the shaft is one of those things that makes D&D feel like D&D. :p

Which I don't get, because the two are mechanically separate and all rangers get both. One is skills, the other is combat class features. All rangers have access to nature/whatever skills. 3e rangers had Track, 4e rangers can use Nature to track. It's like saying "I want a Wizard who's less...

I dislike Raise Dead and its derivatives with a passion, PC or NPC. It takes any significance out of death. Returning from the dead should only result from undeath, deal with some sort of Great Power at a terrible price, or retrieving their soul from the land of the dead and forcing it back into...

OK, so what do they do and how are they different from rangers of later editions?

The only context I've ever seen the phrase used in is class design, not character traits. It's being discussed over in the 5e forums, and I'm pretty sure no one using it means romantic elements or kingly parentage in the class's abilities. :erm: Unless they mean Level 2 Class Feature: Romantic...

7 pcs is tough. Due to the synergy of PC powers, depending on their builds they could be a force to be reckoned with. Add on top of that min/maxing, and on top of that an uncertainty with the system, and a module balanced towards a standard party, and you have the makings for extreme frustration...

How are these ranger related?

I've seen "Aragorn style ranger" tossed around a little and I don't really understand what it means. What specifically did Aragorn do that's different? I only saw the movies, and didn't really see anything that struck me as ranger-y (aside from dual wielding the sword and torch against the...

CM it was stated that Fireball does a flat 5d6 damage. No increases. Doesn't mean there won't be a greater fireball, etc.

They said that any class that has been in a PHB1 in any edition are in the PHB. So Sorcerer is also in.

Note they are saying "might" as far as those rare classes. So it just depends on what they mean by 'more complex' too. Also what does an "uncommon/rare" class mean? I mean, I like a world where PC classes are rare to begin with. PCs are special by virtue of being PCs.

Where'd you get that from? It looks like they want all classes to have degrees of complexity. There's a simple fighter and a complex fighter. This is also possibly meaning there's a simple wizard and a complex wizard. Info plz!

Eh I don't buy that. Because usually higher level abilities are just an upgraded lower level ability. Fireball becomes delayed blast fireball which becomes Meteor Swarm. Invibility becomes Greater invisibility. Summoning spells are a good example of this too, in that you can summon more monsters...

Aye. And like how every book has new feats. So you have to comb through a lot of material. Feats that give new/alternate abilities are interesting. Things that give static bonuses are not.

Actually you can argue. I started a thread dealing with that exact situation and the response seems to be "yes, you have the right to do that". But honestly I think part of the problem is that you are a Dm who is somewhat inexperienced with the system compared to your players, who are experts...
