D&D isn't the problem. 5E is IMO. And Bounded Accuracy in particular. It is a useless mechanic and didn't solve any problem in the game, simply shifted where the problem was. I love D&D and have for over 40 years. It is why I have stuck with it as long as I have. I very rarely ever play any...

Agreed. Totally. This is my biggest issue with damage cantrips. I don't want casters firing pew pew every round. BORING!!!! And yes, it makes magic feel much less magical to me as well, I've pointed this out numerous times on the forum. It is nice to know someone else finally gets that. Yeah...

Fair enough! :)

I have to wait about 16 hours before I get to play tomorrow. :( At least I am not DMing, though. :D

Tomorrow, game time tomorrow... :)

Short of just not running the game, I have to disagree. DM fiat is subject to player acceptance. When my PC gains a level, I choose what my PC gains as far as features, etc. If, prior to playing, the DM limits something and I agree to that limitation, then that is on me. If I choose not to, I...

First, this would have been better served as a poll IMO, but since it is too late for that... 1 or 2 = Not weird, fairly ground, but not completely mundane. Probably less than most games.

Solution: Limit Wizards to ONE spell learned per spell level instead of two. Now DM fiat is HUGE because otherwise they will never find new spells, etc. Which brings up a HUGE issue with casters (again, please stop singling out Wizards, all of this applies to any full caster.... :) ), is spell...

It is a bad feature, IMO. Everyone still can, you just have a more realistic appreciation for skill and ability with a non-linear system. Here's a reason why I don't like it: A contested check between two creatures: #1 is level 17 with +5 ability, for +11 total. #2 is level 1 with +0 ability...

It would be for me, but again I know I am in the minority on that... And I don't think we need to remove cantrips, but limit them. In my MOD, damage-causing cantrips are called jinxes. You can use your jinxes a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus per short rest. They scale once at...

I have been for the last couple years, but in NO WAY to move on to 5.5 or whatever it ends up being. I've never been a fan of WotC's design or the direction it has taken D&D (admittedly there are some things I thought was good, but it is probably less than 5% of it all...). I've only been...

Starting with which edition? Apparently in 3E it was the default... I don't really remember I never played it enough.

Since this is a general thread, IMO anything after 1E AD&D. I just reviewed all the races (I know of anyway) in 5E, and I'm not even really fond of Dragonborn or Tiefling, forget pretty much anything else. I'd be perfectly happy without any of them. As I (jokingly) posted upthread, so many...

You want just the list of what I actually bought... Oh, that is a pretty short list. ;)

That's why I posted it. I figured eventually they will read it and make that decision. Of course, we already have another thread about One D&D in this forum and the other thread in that forum was shut down because it was in this forum already. 🤷‍♂️

Shouldn't the threads about One D&D be in that forum and not the Dungeons and Dragons forum? I thought that was the point of having a second forum for it...
