That is, however, the justification for why the Warlord has the mechanics he does. The Warlord is either a tactician, or a leader of men. That flavor isn't something I think should be class specific, but a general assumed trait of player characters, and epecially player character warriors.

I am missing the "I am a player/DM of 5e and actively do not want WOTC to create a warlord class". No more dissection of the warrior archetype into smaller and smaller chunks. Warlord is something characters can do at high level. As such it should be handled outside the class structure--get a...

Honest to betsy, I don't want any warlord, class, subclass, or other. I'm tired of dissecting the warrior archetype into any more smaller chunks. Being a warlord is something I just wanna see fighters do, at upper levels. "You're 15th level? Time to build a castle and lead some armies!" I...

Pretty much in that exact order.

Looks really good! I wouldn't mind seeing a few more "badass" men--but definitely approve of your art style; it's a bit too late historical period for what I like, but that fits with Warhammer.

Suits me; we can agree to disagree on the subject of linguistic drift and whether this is a semantic argument or an debate tactic argument. I've already stated I think their art looks good. I'd prefer they keep the nudity, keep the violence, and not include the inclusiveness statement (such...

Ah, a motte and bailey argument. I see. (Yes, I am aware of the "improved" definition of the word; I just don't agree with it; If you wish to make the argument that minorities and/or women were purposefully excluded in the bad old days of gaming, then make that argument, don't hide it under a...

Then have a good day, or evening.

Actually, that's exactly what it means-though it would be more accurate to say "everyone's included". In business though, it often makes sense to decide on an audience, and work to appeal to their tastes. This has the unfortunate effect of often turning off those with different tastes, but if...

Sounds like you've made your choice. I think it's the wrong one, but go you. BTW, there is no such thing as being "inclusive". Every choice you make will appeal to one person and turn off another. You have to pick who you want to appeal to and hope they'll give you money. Chasing that holy...

This sounds pursuant to my interests, but the time/technology period appears more 30 Years War than Conan the Barbarian. How difficult would this be to strip out all the early modern stuff and take it back to a time of savagery and sorcery? Otherwise, gratz and thank you for having lots of...

blocked at work, so I can't verify, but if I recall this correctly, Sean K Reynolds buried speed factors first by misrepresenting how initiative worked in 2nd edition. Up until 3rd edition, intentions for a round were called before initiative was rolled each round. In that context, speed...

I swear D&D is starting to read my mind. T'other day one of my players wanted to use Gust of Wind to counteract dragon breath and I find a few hours later, there's a whole thread on the subject! Been reading the Elric novels, and boom...warlock pact for players who want to have Stormbringer...

I don't think the fighter is superb. Honestly I don't think they bring anything to the table that is not amply supplied by other classes. At best they are as good as other classes in combat, assuming really optimal ability usage. But I do agree that the way to fix that is to give them...

I am all for giving Fighters nice things. My preferred nice thing is opening up their flexibility rather than giving them more combat goodies...but on your choices, point by point. Hit Die: D12 Not necessary, and steps on a Barbarian's toes. Extra Attack: 4th, 9th, 15th I like this idea...

Question only tangential related to the DOOM! mechanics, how do you feel this game encourages a spirit of muscular sword & sorcery fantasy? What statement seems right? "This game makes me feel like we've stepped right out of a Frazetta painting" "This game makes me feel like we're in the...

Oh I've got stuff... I would get rid of weapon specialization, and replace it with abilities that triggered based on what type of weapon you were fighting with at the time. Get rid of all combat applicable feats--make it strictly for ability broadening and concept filling. Get rid of Extra...

really miss that I was never able to play any of the Chaosium games back in the day-except for some abortive attempts at Call of Cthulhu. As a huge fan of Elric, I was always disappointed I was never able to play this one.

Yep; we need more manly men doing stuff in our RPG art.

It's not hate...and that's an overly inflammatory term designed to suppress criticism. It's dislike. And when a product that has historically been designed to your tastes is changed in such a way in order to pursue a different market, well...I think those original customers have a right to...
