is it? one cannot even look up stuff online without the 2 games being mashed together. They truly sabotaged 5e like no prior edition ever was before. Nasty stuff or talk about it...as evidenced above with 2024 analytics spewed to counter very basic 5e observations. I'm pretty sure I'll be gone...

I had no idea what filter I was circumventing, or that there even was one. Knowing there is, now, I'll probably just leave*...and suggest you lot "watch your censorship & authoritarian tendencies, getting a machine to censor for you earns you the same total disgust & disregard it does when a...

2024 doesn't count as 5e...I wasn't, nor am ever referring to it, unless I specifically say so...and don't care anything about it; no offense. 5e is 5e 2024 is 2024 WOTC needs to burn in hell forever for their vile attempt to make them the same thing/to kill 5e with this filthy naming trick...

I did something like that as a house rule change in B/X...but it was for anyone. The extra damage die varied by class, well, their THACO actually, when it improved 3/4/5 levels for fighters (inc. dwarves, elves & halflings)/clerics & thieves/magic-users. fighters et all added a d8 each bump up...

While your rant applies to some, maybe even many, 2024 is utter poop, and nobody needs to love poop just because it's newer. Indeed people should just play older editions(including 5th, which the vile 2024 tries to poison by refusing to have a name! worst edition EVER) hopefully WOTC/Hasbro tank...

wonderful work! Thanks so much!

sometimes, yes. A couple I change the baseline for/permanently, one being the black dragon you mention. 1e MM " They tend towards the mid point between law and chaos in their evil." I make them out as being Neutral Evil

ok, the assassin article is ok, for what it is, but naw, I came up with as much or better w/o it. The specific guild rules/example are not at all my cup of tea/a bit silly

I do not think I'd call it a substantial issue, as it lacks a stand out article. It was fine at the time, but it's not one I visit anymore. The weapons, & powerful angelic monsters do deserve note, and the bits on Greyhawk/Raxivort are of solid historical note though. I've run assassin/guild...

Conan the Barbarian is a flat out awesome movie too, was then & is now.

"A shifty character for your campaign" by Tom Armstrong and Roger Moore introduces the Bandit NPC class. The result is like a fighter/thief with a few of the ranger's outdoor skills thrown in. However, it's not very interesting compared to some of the NPC classes in previous issues." many...

the index for dragon magazine is very handy http://www.aeolia.net/dragondex/ specifically on classes http://www.aeolia.net/dragondex/articles-subject.html#c click, C, scroll to Character classes (D&D)

Indeed, we could, and many old school games did. It was common to joke about silly D&D and strength helping one land a hit (& the argument is always "armor, toughness, etc is overcome). Even other old TSR games would use "dexterity" for modifying chances to hit in melee combat, and not just...

They don't, no, but the circumstances of taking damage & dishing out damage are a bit different & by no means automatic. one certainly might need their BBG to say, dispel, cast a protection or movement effect, or heck, even a non damaging attack. You won't get either effect some rounds

option 2 it's got some issues, sure, especially compared to masochism, (why is everything italics now?) but (finally) unless you are in 3.5e it's probably fine. Otherwise place some caps (+10 for 100+ seems good) & make sure any item of it has some evil tags/issues Used by a high level big bad...
