    Yes this is the work around we use half to three quarters of the time mixed with a bunch of boons we call “martial training booms” that often end up unbalancing the games and are major work in progresss

    D&D 5E (2014) Martials v Casters...I still don't *get* it.

    I am big on the warlock chaise just refilled and reworked get 2 short rest “martial exploits” but know a small handful known from a large list that is level locked (maybe not like spells but like prerequisite 5th level on some and 11th level on some and 15 or 17th level some really big ones) a...

    Well he doesn’t know what is and is not vunrable to fire (new to game) and thought dead body in rotted dry cloths would burn easy. edit: the WOD larper freaked when they learned about paralyzing claws... and the new players where all super shocked even the 5e vet that I am forgot elves where...

    I will see you and raise you my writing group since for a year we have not seen each other (actually Over a year now) one of the guys who used to play d&d in late 70s and early 80s suggested we start a Roll20 game once a month... 3 of the 8 of us are already playing 5e... DM +1 more used to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Martials v Casters...I still don't *get* it.

    What makes a fighter better at athletics or acrobatics then a hexblade or a paliden or a war cleric or even a bald singer? I know rogues get expertise but that seems to not help the fighter much... in fact many classes get bonus skills fighter don’t get athletics or acrobatics for free so...

    I can see why you don’t want the fighter as is taken away..... but a new class, warlord battle mind war blade sword sage what ever you want to call it could (by WoTC) fill this gap

    Maybe even make it slightly more generic and say even though the dragon hunter showed you it will work on any winged creature.

    That sounds like a great idea

    How you feel about 4e not with standing none of your numbers are all complete. All we know is WoTC told us 4e out sold 3e... so unless you think splitting the 3e fan base between piazo and WoTC somehow both WoTC sold more then 3e AND piazo sold more then WoTC it isn’t possible. ps. If you...

    D&D 5E (2014) Martials v Casters...I still don't *get* it.

    I think the end of 4e was the best of both. And 5e could have built on that. Have the fighter be simple and the warlord (or marshal or what ever you want to call it) be complex. Give a tough weapon non spell caster with lots of choices... a sword sage and a fighter and a rogue and a warlord...

    D&D 5E (2014) Martials v Casters...I still don't *get* it.

    I don’t think they are. I would love a martial class that was like a 4e class. I would also not mind a bunch of Bo9S inspired classes The last year before 4e was announced we had stopped playing 3.5, before that we stopped allowing PHB fighter wizard cleric and Druid but allowed the complete...

    As opposed to you that swears the 2nd best selling edition of all time flopped because he said so

    D&D 5E (2014) Martials v Casters...I still don't *get* it.

    You are wrong. The fall off of 4e was vocal jerks saying bad things that were not true mixed with it being the only edition to compete with an ongoing Primus edition... and there is 0 proof pathfinder ever outsold 4e just that it divide the fan base and WoTC wanted to bring everyone back so...

    No 4e wasn’t a failure it out sold 3e the same way 5e out sold 4e... 5e just spread the books out more

    In a hypothetical 6e I would want more 4e concepts built into a 5e frame... that would start with the current monk and warlock (and artificer) chaises being the default classes for fighter wizard and cleric.

    My 20th level character (been playing her since level 2) is a17th level warlock (fey tomb) 3rd level divine soul sorcerer. Her opening round depend on if she is full honor not... If full HP I flame bolt (unless flavor makes me think immune to fire like when we fought red dragons) or if near...

    D&D General Kobayashi Maru: Should the fate of the character always be in the player's hands? POLL

    I started playing (larp) in early 90s and in 1995 I started running 2e. Back in 90s I played and ran a lot (D&D plus other systems). I even was labeled a killer DM in early 2000s. I have had a few dozen characters die in my games. I have only had 3 TPKs as a DM and only played through 2...

    I will say as someone who has anxiety and has had panic attacks that feel like heart attacks (and a real heart attack too) that I have seen people be dismissive of PTSD because they only saw people play acting at having PTSD... it is a valid fear and something that needs to be called out. the...

    I don’t know if you did this on purpose or if it was a happy accident. Bucky has been outed as a big NERD and most likely would love to sit down with some friends and try d&d. I bet he would have lots of fun at some con. but imagine that he was fighting bad guys when all of a sudden the DM...
