    D&D 5E (2014) Ravenloft: Is it likely to get a 5e re-VAMP?

    Since I am guessing that this edition is supposed to have a ten year lifespan... with a sixth edition coming for the 50th Anniversary (and I imagine that sixth edition is more going to look like a 5.5 version and be largely back compatible with fifth edition adventures), there is definitely a...

    D&D 5E (2014) How many fans want a 5E Warden?

    I vote for the "Tentatively, yes" simply because there wasn't a choice for just "yes." Anyway, I am only really familiar with the Warden from a brief skim and never have seen it in play, but I am always up for new character classes in 5e. I understand why they tried to make a lot of concepts...

    D&D 5E (2014) Ravenloft: Is it likely to get a 5e re-VAMP?

    I just don't think that bringing back classic settings beyond Forgotten Realms really fits in with their Marvel Studios strategy for this edition right now. I imagine that will evolve a bit in the future. Obviously if Hollywood and major video game developers start taking interest in properties...

    D&D 5E (2014) What about a Shapeshifter class?

    I love new classes. I don't even mind if it steps a bit on other classes toes as long as it isn't better at the prime thing that a class does. This seems distinct enough from from the disguise and infiltration classes on the one side and the druid on the other that I am fine with this. I would...

    How many fans want Lemon Curry?

    I am not sure if it is really my thing, but I would like to try it made by a professional chef. If I like it I might order it regularly and maybe have a go at making it at home with their recipe.

    D&D 5E (2014) Anyone for a Warlord Ranger hybrid?

    I actually kind of like the idea, but on the other hand I think deep down I would prefer 50 classes that really focus on one aspect of a character rather than 12 classes with an average of 4 subclasses with 3 to 5 levels to articulate the subconcept. Obviously, if there was a Beast Master class...

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you handle Commoners in your game?

    For anyone worth writing up... "Commoners" = d4hd + background "Experts" = d6hd + background + 2skills + expertise in two skills "Warriors" (town guard) = d8hd + background + martial armor and weapon proficiencies. Mostly handwaved though.

    D&D 5E (2014) The Warlord [New Class]

    Obviously something is in the air. I was working on my own Warlord class today. I like yours better, but they hit most of the same beats so at least I feel like I was working along the right lines. I'll see if there is anything in my stuff that might help you hone this, but as I said it looks...

    D&D 5E (2014) A WOTC 5e Warlord That Would Be Acceptable To Skeptics

    I didn't mean to it come off that way if that is the way it sounded. I had been following the Warlord poll thread for a couple of days here and hadn't really even considered it viable for 5e previously but it did get me to crack open the 4e PHB and actually read the class and the powers. I saw...

    D&D 5E (2014) A WOTC 5e Warlord That Would Be Acceptable To Skeptics

    How about this... no fluff at all, just straight up Warlord mechanics lifted from 4e and balanced in terms of power level, the action economy and movement of 5e and then possibly a sidebar describing to the DM "if you want your Warlords in your campaign to have a magical origin... here are some...

    D&D 5E (2014) A WOTC 5e Warlord That Would Be Acceptable To Skeptics

    I do get that, but I kind of put that in the same bin as I do as having a sentence or two about the Far Realms in the psionic Mystic write up... as long as it isn't hard baked into the class features and flavor, I can ignore a bit of early fluff in the description. Stuff like a Level 1...

    D&D 5E (2014) A WOTC 5e Warlord That Would Be Acceptable To Skeptics

    First off, I am not a 4e fan at all. It is the only edition I never connected with. It looked well designed for what it was but it catered to a very different playstyle than I enjoy and didn't seem like a natural evolution from the classic D&D I played for the 25 years previously. I never played...

    D&D 5E (2014) How many fans want a 5E Warlord?

    Fun fact: 2/3rds of respondents want a Warlord. And almost everyone wants Lemmon Curry as well.

    D&D 5E (2014) How many fans want a 5E Warlord?

    I really wish they would use the Unearthed Arcana column to develop a Warlord type class for people's home games who want to play with such a character and don't want to homebrew their own. I wouldn't put it in an official product or let it be used in AL play unless the community is...

    [UPDATED] WotC To Close Forums - Including D&D and M:tG (aka "Welcome New Forum Members to EN World!

    It was probably done about seven years too late. The conventional wisdom in business circles these days are that corporate hosted web forums are a net negative for any sort of brand trying to deal with the general public because they almost always become overwhelmingly negative and there are far...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is WotC over-thinking the Ranger?

    I think it is probably us the fans who are overthinking it since it seems that most folks just want a nature oriented fighter with a bit of sneaking and some healing but also want the words "Class: Ranger" on our character sheets. Probably the best thing for WOTC to do is basically give us what...

    D&D 5E (2014) [Poll] How does your group do hit points per level?

    Fixed max hit points per level every level. Seems to work fine so far and no one has complained about not being able to roll it instead.

    AD&D 1E What 1e Books Should Make a 5e Comeback?

    Outside the core 3 that they have already released, I would prefer them to not recycle titles even if they use a similar concept for a book. It just gets confusing to new players to see three or four different versions by edition of Deities and Demigods or Unearthed Arcana on Ebay. And for me as...

    D&D 5E (2014) [post-Sword Coast announcement] Speculation about WotC's product release schedule

    One book a quarter... maybe February, May, August, November alternating between adventure paths and setting expansion book with some splat content probably would probably be my ideal at this point in time. I have been happy with the way it has been handled so far though. I am not sure that it...

    D&D 5E (2014) Removal of class-based stat bonuses?

    I like the idea of splitting up the bonus, but I would rather throw additional bonus into the Background feature rather than class. As it is the classes are so frontloaded, that they have to drop out proficiencies for some classes when multiclassing and a lot of what you are representing in...
