As a stand alone (sorry missed that bit), how about: 5th Way Cinq (a nod to chivalry) Pendragon (a merger of pentagon and dragon, with allusion to King Arthur)

My first thought was PF2E...;) Seriously, you could go for something like: 5Expert - thus 5XP 5e proficient rules - shortened to 5e-pro 5e Master Set Going on how WotC have titles many of the 5e books, you could use a well known D&D character to name them Otiluke or Rary’s Enhanced Guide...

I think concentration really was another arm of Spellcraft. For those who had to use concentrate in non-spell capacity, it would sort of make sense to make that a fortitude save. Also, I think some tidying up of sunder, trip, charge, bull rush,and revised AoO would be good. Those mechanics made...

I agree with the thrust of having reflex, will, fortitude saves in 5e - they made sense and removing them is nonsensical Trimmed down feats (i seem to recall that 3e feats were much tighter than the inclusion of unnecessary feats in 3.5e - investigator, acrobatics, nimble fingers come to mind)...

I don’t know 4e we’ll enough to comment, but I totally agree with you that PF2 sits as a sleeker 3.5e. My group are intending to complete our long running 3.5 campaign before we switch to pf2

I thought it was fiddle at first too. The attribute point allocation system is different which is one of the trickier things to get around.It’s greater customisation option for PC is what makes it enticing for me. Still yet to play, though

In short, yes. I think the position is negligible to minimal benefiton clearly attributable to ancestry differences - dark vision, fey ancestry. The whole idea of D&D is that your character is different from the average person in your game. So, with that in mind, why should your character be...

I read PF2e core rules recently and I think its solution is about right.

I’m not optimistic. That’s why I said I see WotC has to demonstrate ethical and moral responsibility rather than issue vanilla disclaimers. If we are not happy with that response then we should call them out on it. The issues Facebook has with financial sponsors shows what happens when companies...

If you think they are straw men, fine. My questions and statements were how do you be sensitive when access to credible information about another culture is not simple when there is nothing guiding what sensitive looks like. Yes, OA is inappropriate but in the absence of nothing how do you...

Totally agree. Too often people claim they have rights but conveniently forget that, with those rights, come responsibilities.

I am saying that WotC should do both these things. The fact they are not interested in issuing a new book is not a satisfactory reason for them not to. That’s a strategy based on a financial decision. It is not a strategy based on an ethical one. WotC’s approach is reminiscent of Facebook not...

You are right: It doesn’t remove what is an offensive description. Nor will an entirely new edition. It will always be there. BUT a new edition or reissue means that WotC takes active restitution for the harm it’s words have had.

No. But that goes to my earlier comment that WotC should be held responsible by being made to update and reissue OA. Placing a disclaimer on it or removing it from circulation lets Wotc off the hook. It does nothing to address what is an evidentially ridiculous statement.

I’m not a computer. The information I read is translated by a whole range of different ideas and thoughts that have made me into the person I am. The introduction of this new information changes me further too. In the context of fantasy rpg, I have to translate cultures as I don’t play a...

Not just US culture, but every culture. Language gives an amazing insight into this. Words like pyjama or bungalow are not English but Indian in origin. Beef is not English in origin, it’s French. Food is another. Spaghetti’s origins are in the noodles of China. Fancy an Indian curry? Well...

No, I don’t but others might. But leave that aside, how would you translate a culture that you can’t know because you do not live in it? A past culture is in the past. It is not fully knowable. The past is a foreign country.

Great, but how do you do that? How do you translate a culture into a fantasy setting? And which culture? The dominant culture or a subculture? Which time period? And how do you translate 15th century Rajasthani culture or 18th Century Hyderabad when you are a 15 year old kid in 21st Century...

Culture does need to be sensitively treated and respected. I agree with you that diverse representation is needed. The problem, though, is how can we ensure culture is sensitivity and respectfully treated and we see diverse representation when there is nothing that helps guide someone? But...

I’d suggest looking at how PF2does ability. It is a different way of approaching the problem.
