Consider your little vampire scenario looted ! It's really good. :) On topic : I think the problem in 5th edition is this "all or nothing" dilemna. I've seen 2 TPK so far, but only one PC ever died, and that was only because they were fighting gnolls and gnolls have a bad habit of gnawing...

I used to do that, but players complained that it made Intelligence even more useless. To solve this issue, I'm tempted to do the following : - Intelligence is no longer a "spellcasting" stat for any class. Wizards now use Wisdom. - Intelligence now grants additionnal proficiencies equal to its...

I'm pretty sad the final vote isn't Dark Sun vs Planescape. It would have been way harder to choose...

In my campaigns, 1gp = 10sp = 1000cp. It's still decimal and not very representative of real life, but it gets rid of platinum currencies and makes gold feel special again. Copper coins have face values which helps poor people carry them around.

QFT. I've adopted the "lesser" feats (basically 3rd edition feats) and it works fine. For GWM/SS, I think giving them some kind of manoeuvers is the most interesting thing to do. I liked how you could destruct things in 3rd edition, so maybe give them a "rend armor" feature like : Sunder ...

Birthright 6 Blackmoor 10 Jakandor 4 Lankhmar 8 Mystara 13 Pelinore 2 For... reasons already mentionned by other posters, I'll upvote Blackmoor. Not out of love for the setting though, which is the epitome of blandness.

I've been thinking a lot about an alternative HP system recently, so I'll be following this thread closely. Keep it coming ! :)

Do you have a link to this thread ? It looks interesting.

That's something I've been thinking about, a *lot*. To avoid this, my campaigns usually end at level 11, and at that level it's already hard to challenge players with low level creatures to be honest. But now my players also want to keep playing their characters, even though they don't like how...

I'm not a fan of ubiquitous magic either. For my next campaign, I'd like magic to be scarce without limiting class selection. I especially want to limit attack cantrips because I think a spellcaster doing nothing but "Eldritch Blast" or "Fire Bolt" every round breaks the feeling that magic is...

D&D magic doesn't feel really magical to me neither. I think it's too limited and well defined, and even though some spells could be used in unusual ways, it's hard to be really creative. I also dislike at-will cantrips. To me magic should be extremely rare in order to keep a sense of wonder...

You're right, I was just throwing stuff quickly to show that clerics aren't what you would call "sluggish" in melee (and I somehow forgot that EK also had Green-Flame Blade ^^). You have to admit though that the DPR difference is marginal, considering the cleric is not meant to be a primary...
