You can always stick to PHB, DMG and MM though.

Neat, but I would still prefer if they included the Nic'Epona instead.

Player's handbook 2 is core.

Automatic TPKs only happen if the party choose to stick around and fight. That's not the default assumption in a combat as war type game. Also, it's not my job to protect the players from TPKs. The paper shredder is always ready to feed on their character sheets.

You don't even need to check if it's still balanced, to be honest. In fact, is best if it's not perfectly balance if you want to keep the original combat as war feeling.

We could do an in depth analysis thread like that one we did for Oracle of the Forest.

I love the one with the possibility of injuring the players in the process. Well done, sir.

I would also like to point out that it's literally (yes, literally) impossible for a human being to conceive something truly, completely alien. Most of the eldritch horrors and aberrations you see in pop culture are nothing more than squid people or some conceptual energy being.

After tens of thousands of years of human history, I don't think it's really possible to build something from nothing. And even if you somehow manage to come up with something completely new, it's going to be so alien and detached from human sensibilities, that it's probably going to end up...

That's absolutely right. The problem is that people on the internet doesn't seem to know the difference between Milestone Experience and Advancement Without XP. They are both very different and mutually exclusive options in the DMG.

Since this thread seems to be still running, let me give my two cents on ho why I think 5e has quite a few old school elements in it. Firstly: Character generation is quick and straightforward. If you are not using any of the optional add-ons like feats and multiclassing, you are basically down...

Choosing to use an optional rule from the official books should not be considered homebrewing, of course.

For the life of me, I can't recall such thing in any of the 4e MMs.

Of course. Carver was a crybaby anyway.

A +1 weapon is equivalent to your ASI.

We all know which Hawke is the best Hawke.
