We've toyed around with this idea in our groups a time or two. Typically, I break -all- the feats down into smaller, bite-sized portions (that we've come to call talents). In example, Sentinel is broken into 3 talents, since it vaguely gives 3 effects, each about as important as the last...

My local FLGS stays afloat despite the digital era by selling things that mostly suck as digital sales. Lots of miniatures, physical terrain and feature products, paints, glues and the like - and the business in warhammer/40k gaming minis is apparently huge. The book-oriented things, they...

I did a bit of an experiment with one of our 5E games that had some pretty positive results, and I'll gladly share to see if it'd work for you. Having been fond of the skill rank system of 3/3.5, I used 5E's proficiency system as maximum skill rank potential and went from there. In example, a...

Monte Cook's Experimental Might first introduced me to the concept of separating Hit Points into two categories; Vigor and Health, I believe he used. One came back easily (Vigor), and the other represented more severe damage to the character. That was the first step I took to adding a bit of...

Clearly an epic priest, for True Resurrection can stretch many years more...

We made these little custom blocks where you would write in the AC you would hit based on what showed up on the d20, so there was no math involved, but your point is completely valid nonetheless haha.

Absolutely have, and will again. After playing 5E, some of the odd mechanics of 2E certainly take some effort to enjoy again, but it is mostly all the wonderful modular character creation of 2E that has me still enjoying it. Kits, multi-classing vs. dual-classing, and the ability to create...

This is the bread and butter of my DMing style, assisted greatly by my players' roleplaying. Regardless of the system in which we're currently playing, I add a place for 'Short Term Goal' and 'Long Term Goal' for the characters. I work with the players to set these up ahead of time, and give...

I have two answers, in that I play two types of Dungeons and Dragons. The first is when I play with my 20+ year group of players. We played together on 'Doomsday' during the Y2K, so suffice it say, everything is handled in such a way as I feel like I barely have to DM anymore, except to build...

Sad to see this one - I really enjoyed Numenera, but I was a kickstarter backer and played through all the playtests, so when the core material came out, there was plenty of old material to keep and discard the more limited things you see in the final release. As for my own one-session games...

I'm not sure if it's pure nostalgia, due to the fact that I began playing with 2E, or the fact that the system has aged well (at least with all the player variants and house rules we made all those years ago), but AD&D 2E all the way.

Don't mind my post, for those with ongoing specific dialogue that always happens this many pages into a topic, just here to give my response to the OP. Many feats destroy the thin balance 5E observes - however, I couldn't play the game without them. Already, I feel the character options and...

I met Bob at a book signing many, many years ago, where he told this story to us live in a little "Q&A" session. I'm quite thrilled to see the story hasn't changed a word in all these years.

As for D&D Beyond's formatting, absolutely 5 stars. As for the contents of the book, that's a bit trickier. I only bought it for the setting flavor, so I completely glossed over the player options for the most part, and I'm far from finished reading everything about the setting. Absolutely a...

Got my Guildmaster's Guide on D&D Beyond this morning, and have been reading through it extensively. Consider me a satisfied consumer.

A bit of an odd-one, glad you found a work around - sorry it had some sort of issue. I just redownloaded the file myself and checked the permissions; the security was off, and the filling of forms checked 'allowed' so I'm not sure what would have caused that problem. This was checked with the...

Sorry it's not working for you - I just redownloaded it today and checked it; all attributes round properly on the latest Adobe pdf reader.

My wife got me the special edition for my birthday - can't wait to get started on it!
