The target audience of the Transformers movies is kids.

Playmobil was very shoddy compared to the Lego movie. I have kids. Saw both. No comparison. Like comparing LOTR to Beastmaster.

Oh totally! I always like to read about ppl's home brew ideas and use some myself! Some of the concentration ideas later down this thread seem pretty cool. I didn't mean it that way at all. Ideas are great and that flexibility is one of the basic features of the game. The thing about the...

There was a 3k long halflings thread where someone said they would stop playing if halflings were presented as a race in the next PHB. Just not allowing halflings in their own game was not good enough. Maybe it's that type of attitude which I find curious.

I think the point is that 5e is objectively and unequivably a success. That might upset some people but the financials are the only truly objective standard of measure. Does it mean that the game is perfect for everyone? Of course not! It does mean that they did something right though...

Yer right. I apologize. I do see quite a few "WOTC is bad at game design" posts and shouldn't equate those with honest feedback.

It seems like a lot of the biggest critics sometimes should just play another game. They fail to realize that DnD is a game for general public (kids included) and 5E has objectively been the most popular edition by far. If they want something less structured or more complex, there are other...

It's amazing how many DnD fans dislike DnD.

I've played with 100 percent attendance and players' interest in the game can wax or wane depending on their situation. That's why I now try to recruit players until I hit 5 or 6. Someone can disappear for a few months cuz they are just going thru a tough time and It can be weird in an...

Don't forget about speed factor😁 There were situations where actually tie-ing initiative was better than winning if you were using a dagger vs a two-handed sword. Surprise was a complete mess. Something like you could do something per segment of surprise? Still love the ADnD campaign I'm...

I remember in ADnD, you actually rolled for your skills. Or secondary skill in the old DMG. Wanna be a pirate? Well you technically didn't have that choice. As far as rules complexity? You are totally right. Just take a look at the grappling, pummeling rules. And psionic combat! That...

Also. The more valuable you are in IT, the more often you will be the one to put out the fires, etc. Usually the late hours are atypical situations and atypical situations usually need the most skilled engineers around. As for the OP? 100 percent attendance requirements can kill campaigns...

Wouldn't the fighter be learning about the opponent's defenses at the same time?

The whole pillar thing depends on the circumstance. A single pillar in a big empty room while fighting a seasoned warrior? No, you can't just duck behind the pillar and hide from the warrior. Then wait a few seconds and then backstab him and repeat as he wonders where you could possibly be...

I call for a stealth check. A large beach towel gets advantage. Small gym towels get disadvantage

Don't need a pillar or tree. Just make the rogue carry a towel. I wonder if that would work in some RAW interpretation. I have seen people vociferously argue using a rat (enemy within 5 feet) on your shoulder to guarantee sneak attack...

I love how these threads devolve into purposeful boolean and extreme interpretation of someone else's rulings. As for the OP, I would allow the DM some latitude here. If you are fighting an intelligent, ancient creature in their own lair - I could totally get it that hiding in combat would be...

Would another extra attack at level 11 be too much? Maybe some options like using Wisdom for Athletics and Acrobatics checks and Attacks could reduce MAD a bit. Make Dex a secondary stat.

It's not "your" house rules. When a good chunk (half?) the players interpret it one way, it's way beyond "house rule". It's a common interpretation of a poorly written rule. The devs pretty much admit it as such. At least, this thread has convinced me of that. That my interpretation could...

The rules don't say anything about high density plastics.
