4e Justice Warriors? Your opinion was already pretty thin on credibility, but there goes the rest of it. Rot grub indeed.

A lot of 4e powers are based on the movement of yourself, allies, and enemies in melee combat in order to flank and gain Combat Advantage (or avoiding being flanked and granting CA.) I'd say it's the heart of the combat system. I would recommend using the +2 to hit for flanking in 5e. Advantage...

Do you just flip a coin? Heads PCs win here's some treasure, tails roll up some new characters?

These results are very, very interesting.

I absolutely love the Sumo idea. Which lead me to my next thought= MMA is so popular now. Why not have a grappling choking knocking people out MMA monk?

Yeah I think there are a lot of ideas like that which could be mined for fun subclasses.

Oh, and Ghostwalker.

We used to do that. That's exactly the same conceptually as using minis on a battlemat though.

This I was just thinking about this as I prep for a new game. I'm looking at all my random adventure/NPC/world detail notes from over the years and thinking "God, I have so much fun stuff in here I've never used. What am I saving it for?" Good advice.

When they start making a game where everything isn't measured in precise distances and knowing exactly where your character is located isn't often the difference between life and death, I'll start running games purely TotM. Actually, that's a lie. We used visual representation (a much more...

Three interesting sub-classes, without a single bit of magic. Say a marksman, a duelist, and a super heavy armor tank. Or three types of warlord.

That's exactly the problem. Paladin spells are wasted space and awkward design. You pretty much always burn spells for smites, except for when you need to heal. Why bother with a spell list? Just have a smite pool with extra effects to choose from as you level and a decent lay on hands ability.

RPG.net has a pretty active 4e community.

"I want to be as strong as an ox." Foolproof.

That's what I'm saying! ;)

Maybe drow care more about power than being pretty? Maybe some of them are crazy religious fanatics?

Whatever you say.

I have tried them and want to add them in more next campaign. Keeping them short is good advice, as is adding in the players as actors in the scene if it's going to be longer (and you have some actor type players.) Trying to make my game more cinematic in different ways has usually only made...

So ability scores don't matter except they really do matter and point buy/arrays make characters cookie cutter because of that?
