Naw, theres been countless suggestions that all get ignored. Its not that hard, but the "dm solve anything that is a problem" is a lazy tactic for not testing the game and having clear and useful mechanics. Making the game easier to run means the game devs have to do more work to make the game...

sure, you can by level 19-20 if you never choose a single feat (or dm gives you magic stats at the start). However lvl 20 is meaningless because if your game makes it that far, 95% of the game will have happened before you get there. Great, you are now have your primary stats maxed, just like...

huh? If you think meaningful mechanics or balancing the game beyond level 5 requires trope levels of larping, I don't know what to say.

I totally agree with you, but 5.5 says cleave means hit someone after you hit someone else, nothing to do with killing them. I Agree that it makes literally zero sense, but thats how 5th ed works. Simplify the table even if it loses touch with reality and physics.

and these are your opinions. The idea of discussions is to discuss. Its fine that you disagree with me, please explain why you disagree.

I'm ignoring what the text says, because the book is comically incapable of determining good from evil. Burning someone alive for stealing a penny is an rightous act of goodness according to dnd (fireball on a goblin that stole someone's belt pouch). This is why we all ignore the alignment...

Like many things in 5e, the ability has no relation to the past. You cleave when you hit something now, not kill it. In that sense, polearms make sense for cleaving. You have HUGE long stick so can hit many people. Theres a reason that throughout history, spears were ALWAYS more popular than...

I Agree. Someone owning a slave doesn't immediately because totally evil. If they live in a land where owning slaves is standard, then its less morally repugnant to. I could see neutral slave owners in those cases. Same with soul coins, you don't have to be evil to have a soul coin, even if its...

True. Dnd skills are soo generalized and bland. Roll a 20 (with a million ways to get pluses and advanage) to simply solve any problem. They made skills so boring and bland so that they don't "detract from the game". Somehow everything needs to be designed for the people who can't bother to read...

A good way to think about soul coins is working at a slave company. You don't handle slaves yourself, your just keeping track of numbers on paper, and selling these numbers to other people. Yet you still own slaves and are selling them. Its no less evil simply because you're in an office. Soul...

I wouldn't expect much any change. The point of 5.5 is to change just enough to sell all the books over again. Its like spaceballs 2, the search for more money. As for monks? Bleh, 3rd ed made them such an awkward and garbagy class. They cannot use armor and most weapons, which is just...

Wow, your so far past missing the point and into blatant trolling. Go away

Because its false that it was the "most popular". Crawford contradicts himself CONSTANTLY, yet everyone takes everything that falls out of his mouth as biblical. They decided on the number 4, then picked subclasses that were opposites. Like an offensive/defensive duo. You can find this pairing...

A good way to look at it is that any opposition is conviently labeled as "evil" by the narrative. The "evil" label means they cannot be good. They are non-people, and the only just response is to murder them. In dnd, virtually ALL problems and conflicts are solved via violence and murder. Yes...

We like to dress it up and pretend to be social justice warriors, but at the end of the day, advancing your character is about getting the loots - aka new and better magic items and exp. You get experience and level via killing things. The entire game system is desiged around combat, with skill...

people love to go on about how wizards are soo OP, which is mostly on paper only. Heck, unless your gm is giving the wizard extra money for spells (or directly giving extra spells) sorcerers can get more spells than wizards can. Spell list aside, wizards are the most boring class in the game...

I really wonder how 1 choice per character is "plenty of choice". DnD would REALLY benefit from new development direction. They simply the fun out of things, yet add in soo much pointless complication (see the waste dump that is a bastion).

The dark side of dnd. Players are literally the most evil people on the planet. We go around and murder everything just to take its stuff. Murder century old dragons for the loot, and then enslave their children as pets and mounts. Its only evil if we do this to people we like, but since we...

so just enough changes to require spending more money, but not really even a full 5.5 edition. Imagine if they designed the game for people who play the game - especially past lvl 6. I know I'm asking alot but...

This is no different than having no rules then. A player has a 30% chance of doing practically anything they want to. Why spend your time taking all the skills or classes or feats if anyone can say "I wanna od this cause its cool" and still have a decent chance on a dice roll to succeed?
