Weapons and armour for many classes present the illusion of choice. In regards to exploration class abilities and spells that interact with it end up largely voiding that pillar.

If 5e is any further simplified it will start causing problems in the game. This is already showing in areas such as weapons/armour and exploration. A streamlined game is good an over simplified game is not.

A person who finds 5e too complex is going to have greater problems in life to worry about than 5e.

Residents of Grognadia when they read the holy books known as the phb & dmg become illiterate when said holy tomes discuss the nature of HP.

Silly me I missed the most obvious one, the poster child, the one that makes those delicious Grognard tears flow like a river...... The WARLORD.

As residents of Grognardia only look back and never forwards, a Thief's Backstab will only work from the front. Whilst talking about classes it would be remiss of me not to note just as the Paladin is the antithesis of the Realm of Horror, the Innovator is the antithesis of Grognardia.

6th Trial: Scream like a banshee whenever anything new is put forward or a Fighter gets something.

Why is that it seems all fantasy settings show Dwarven societies / kingdoms in decline? Show them at a height or ascending in itself would be a change that could make Dwarves more interesting to play or as part of a setting.

I do not mind an evil Matriarchal society as long as it is depicted that it is their actions that make them evil not just being female with power. We must be careful to not end up at the point where females cannot be presented as evil in fiction as all genders have it within them to do wrong and...

You can give bonuses that would be good against dragons that would be useful against other creatures. eg Bonuses againainst large + creatures, abilities vs high natural defence, eluding super sharp senses, bonuses Vs flyers, Defence vs elemental abilies. All these things and more would make for...

Considering how little player material has appeared in many books I would not of been surprised if it was the case. Also no Dragon Slayer subclass? Talk about missing low hanging fruit.

A feat......how generous and creative of them.

From the beginning of 5next play test to now when ever the designers put forward something new and/or different they have folded like wet cardboard. So much looking back and so little looking forward and an unwillingness to take chances. Wake me when they are willing to show a bit of spine and...

Why is it so difficult for some to understand that the hardware does not always suit the software and for others later software patches changes suitability or interaction with the hardware, and that in some cases an alteration to current hardware is required to get the most out of the software.

Their abilities were flavorful, of appropriate power and did not require the need to look up other sources.

Complain all one wants about 4e, but one thing they sure as hell got right was monsters particularly Dragons.

It would seem to me giving money to people spewing such toxic philosophies is nothing short of enabling them in 2 ways 1. It makes the believe others agree with their philosophy and 2. Assists them in affording their platform to communicate said toxic philosophy. So giving money to such people...

I have limited spending money (don't we all) so all other things being equal I would rather my money going to the better person/company.

Why are we using so many duck metaphors? Poor ducks, why do we malign them so much?

Even with an apology and a course correction it does not change that all the claims that have been made about the game have been either dishonest or so far exaggerated that they may as well be a lie. So far I see low quality work and a lot of renamed stolen ideas. Why would I spend a single...
