True as far as the 5e version has only been recently released so give them time.

If a group of players wants to be challenged and be the underdog, this is where it is at.

This is why we cannot have nice things because people make stuff up or twist things in misguided moral crusades.

This happened during 2e, 4e rewound from where 2e ended and picked that as the 4e starting point.

If you are tired of waiting on timid wotc designers that fold like wet cardboard give the Midnight setting from Edge Studios a go, they have released it for 5e.

I think we should agree to disagree on that score.

You kind of straw maned my statement there.

Modern culture has neutered evil in fiction and too many people cannot grasp the idea that fiction is not real.

I was thoroughly unimpressed by the first playtest packet. It was full of typos and bad grammar. The balance was all over the shop talents and heritages being either ribbons or OP creating a lot of mechanics that are auto choose or never choose. Also 80%+ of the document had no need to be in a...

I believe they wanted the ability to get more out of weapons to be in the base Fighter class rather than on the weapon or feat.

I can see from Wotc point of view that the current OGL allows for direct competitors to parasite off their work. So my question is there a way to alter the license so that you can protect the "small guy" but do away with such garbage like NFT's and do away with competitors that take away...

I wish the books discussed more about the rules and restrictions the gods operated under as this may provide more nuance to the rock throwing incident.

Free will does not negate the consequences for actions taken by said will and it only complicates matters further when said action impact on another's free will. Any consequence can be said to go against the free will of the acting being, but things would get ugly quickly without consequence...

I am now left wondering that mortals had to be gifted free will it did not come naturally when created, so with this in mind were the gods at creation by the overgod given free will or are they locked into behaviours forced by their nature, divinity and rules?

Could it be that Raistlin not operating under the restrictions of the original gods was at such an advantage that this was what caused him to be able to defeat all the other gods and not raw power?

A question that has not been answered that could make sense of the cataclysm is what rules and limitations are the gods working under? From memory the gods of DL since their creation had some pretty hefty restrictions placed on them with large unavoidable penalties. Takhisis being imprisoned in...

I am assuming that Paladine attempted to convince god and mortal alike to change course but failed. No removal of free will required just a more sensible approach like omens and messages that make sense and to the right people. Keep in mind the Cataclysm was largely a consensus of the gods where...

Same events, with Takhisis sneaking back later and Paladine returning to oppose her. The mortals still could react as they did. Same events and outcomes. In my mind that makes the Cataclysm both more palatable and to a certain degree more tragic.

A cataclysm that had Paladine opposing it would be a lot more palatable for many because if the God of Good is opposing it then it must be evil. If walking away from mortals gives them a chance at life without evil gods interfering, that is more tolerable than just heaping more punishment on...

How would the DL history look if Paladine acted like the God of good he is claimed to be, actively promoting and championing good rather than acting like a god of balance and neutrality? What would the setting look like though still keeping the same themes?
