    What is your favorite RPG book of all time?

    ONE favourite? Yikes. I will say that, for all the problems/contradictions/craziness it had...I really liked the swing they took with the 3e Epic-Level Handbook.

    D&D General Explain Bounded Accuracy to Me (As if I Was Five)

    So...a damage aura?

    D&D General D&D's Utter Dominance Is Good or Bad Because...

    The bolded part is probably true if the goal is to make a really well-designed game. That is not the first priority of WotC as far as D&D is concerned; the first priority is to make a very popular game. And, ya gotta admit, it's working.

    D&D General Explain Bounded Accuracy to Me (As if I Was Five)

    Maybe they are 4e minions, or 4e swarms? :) I would hate to be a player in a game where my DM makes this encounter in 5e; that's a LOT of dice rolling where the goblins need 17+ to hit only to do piddly damage. I suppose mathematically it's technically a threat, but I will be dead of boredom...

    D&D General Explain Bounded Accuracy to Me (As if I Was Five)

    How many people play in games where no PC gets magic items, just out of curiosity?

    D&D 4E Let's Talk About 4E On Its Own Terms [+]

    In the old Wizardry game 'Crusaders of the Dark Savant' monks would end up learning psionic spells... ...in unrelated news, I am old.

    D&D 4E Let's Talk About 4E On Its Own Terms [+]

    With respect, I think the 4e Monk is far more than not non-functional; it is the best version of the class in all editions of the game, IMO.

    D&D 4E Ben Riggs' "What the Heck Happened with 4th Edition?" seminar at Gen Con 2023

    Yeah, that's wild. There are some...interesting lives being lived out there. Just waiting for "4e ruined my marriage!"

    D&D 4E Ben Riggs' "What the Heck Happened with 4th Edition?" seminar at Gen Con 2023

    Can you imagine blaming a game for your group breaking apart?? Not the words exchanged during a particular session or something, but just the game itself! Yeesh.

    D&D General Should NPCs be built using the same rules as PCs?

    I don't know why everyone's abilities in a fantasy world should be knowable.

    D&D 5E (2014) [+] Ways to fix the caster / non-caster gap

    Honestly, why are you here in a + thread?

    D&D 5E (2014) [+] Ways to fix the caster / non-caster gap

    Ah. I was looking for the specific term.

    D&D 5E (2014) [+] Ways to fix the caster / non-caster gap

    Where is that in 5e?

    D&D 5E (2014) [+] Ways to fix the caster / non-caster gap

    So...not D&D 5e rules. Got it.

    D&D 5E (2014) [+] Ways to fix the caster / non-caster gap

    At every table that uses 5e D&D rules.

    D&D 5E (2014) [+] Ways to fix the caster / non-caster gap

    If they're killing a dragon with a bow and pike, then it's reality-defying.

    D&D 5E (2014) [+] Ways to fix the caster / non-caster gap

    If it has men and women wielding swords killing a huge dragon, that's what it's doing. As @TwoSix pointed out above, the lone woman with a greatsword can kill 10 bears in a single combat without accruing mortal wounds; so much more reality-bending when considering what a dragon would be.

    D&D 5E (2014) [+] Ways to fix the caster / non-caster gap

    Yeah, I guess, though the 5mwd exists whether there is an hp-fueled maneuver system or not.
