No. What you mean by "last time around it was Paizo" ? I stuck with 4e back then, it is in fact my favorite version of the game by a huge margin. I will stick with the new 2024 edition now too. I'm sure there's plenty of people away from the internet who feels the same. So, hard nope. I will...

There's still the issue that both Conjure Minor Elementals and Wall of Force requires concentration.

Speaking for my table. I have never allowed feats and multiclassing and my game runs perfectly smooth. And no, powergaming is a real thing, not just an insult or an imaginary problem. On the other hand, I find the tone you use to talk to people here quite insulting.

Feats and multiclassing are optional. Just don't give your players that option and you'll never have to fear power gaming ruining your campaign.

Some serious Numenera vibes here.

Your party seems very enjoyable to slaughter. I would be having a kick out of killing them every other session. You should consider investing on a paper shredder for their character sheets.

His point is, we shouldn't have to rely on 3pp to have something that was advertised as part of the official books. In this case, true modularity and solid options to customize your gaming experience. There's also the fact that some groups will never accept the inclusion of 3pp or homebrew in...

4th Edition's DMG doesn't even has magic itens in it (they are in the PHB) and it's arguably the best DMG ever.

It affects anybody within 15ft of the caster. How people could possibly mess this up, is beyond me.

If we are only talking about modules, I'd argue that most Basic, 1e and 2e AD&D modules are "compatible" with 5e. I know by personal experience that any DM should be able to crack open Into the Unknown or The Night Below and run it in 5e without having to modify anything.

Have you heard of point buy? I'm not even sure why 5e brought rolled scores back.

Minor correction, 4e did NOT remove custom magic item creation and in fact, made it more versatile by adding residuum and disenchantment.

That's how I run all of my campaigns. Lots of optional rules (variant encumbrance, gritty realism, slow natural healing and mandatory healer's kit), but absolutely no homebrew or 3pp stuff. Never. Ever.

That's right, the game needs all three pillars of play. Meaningful exploration and social interactions are equally important. That's not the same as spending a whole adventure dicking around the town, though.

Or we could maybe just not make whole modules about going around a big city doing mundane chores. Idk...

Adventures now are all about cooking contests and doing homework for magic school. Exciting, heh?

Why are you comparing it to 3e instead of comparing it to 4e which was the immediate predecessor of the current edition? Compared to it's 4e version, they have clearly tried to give the wizard back at least a portion of it's power to alter reality and dramatically change the state of the game.

I too have started back in 2e and I can say without a grain of doubt that 4e was my favorite edition. Scratched pretty much all of my itches.

That's not correct. You get a Immediate Action (either Immediate Reaction or Immediate Interrupt) each ROUND. And you get an Opportunity Action each TURN. You are mixing up Immediate Actions and Opportunity Actions.

People would benefit greatly from reading the travel activities rules.
