Sounds like they would be well rid of you.

He explicitly explained why this was not being nixed. They are intentionally not designing the game to stop people from abusing rules to make it not fun. I think they are right to take that approach since the vast majority of players and DMs are not rule following automatons, they are people...

Yeah I am liking all of the 5e art I have seen so far, the 4e stuff was often too cartoony for me so the return to a bit more (fantasy) realism is nice.

Yeah I don't particularly care. Every edition has had vast imbalances in player power in certain circumstances and it generally doesn't matter if the DM is doing a decent job and the players are not jerks. If player A absolutely kills encounters with dragons then make sure some encounters have...

Spamming second wind is not a real problem, if the DM is allowing the party to rest for hours at a time after each fight without issue then they are doing it wrong.

Those are great but I am having some trouble with the printing. Even at 92% I get the bottom card slightly cut off and they are no longer standard card size. I assume this is my printer being a POS but has anyone moved them so there is less empty space between the cards?

Something to endlessly nit-pick about. Should have saved your money and complained about the weather.

All my players said the same thin on seeing the phb this weekend: The Dragonborn are beyond lame. It's too bad because the stats/abilities are indeed attractive for some classes. Saying you won't need a wizard is extraordinarily arguable though. Such an argument would, however, be off topic...

I think you meant to say 'd&d economy became completely unbelievable in 1974' Unless you are messing with balance in other ways saying 'plate costs 1,000 times more than leather' is just saying 'noone ever wears plate in my game' because giving plate as loot will vastly over-wealth the...

It depends what you need 'diversity' for. If you are having trouble making exactly the type of pc you want then more diversity in power choice would be nice (or you might just be being a grumpy-gus and looking for ways to cause problems) but if you just want to roll up 18 different varieties of...

I agree with rogue/fighter->Kensei (that level 20 power kicks more ass than I could kick with three legs), also TWF Ranger mcd with Rogue would be nice if you want rapier/dagger style guy. The fluff of the powers might not fit as well though.

I am not real clear on how they worked in 3e (other than just being the 'really good' magic items) but I like what I have read so far. I never used them in 1e or 2e (though I did like thinking about it) because my players were usually too low level to not be completely imbalanced by them. This...

But I don't want to house-rule, I want Pole Dancing skill spelled out for me in at least 5 pages!!

I just made a gnome wizard, he wants to boost his sneakyness to get more out of his racial abilities. MCing to thief would give him Thievery and Sneak Attack. Sneak attack does not work on his spells and he does not want to pick locks so he chose Stealth Skill Training instead. And he can...

Yeah you could also give your PCs a 100k xp bonus for showing up on time, but it would be dumb. Not to mention those 26th level minions get initiative and your party is probably going to be doing some rerolling.

Yeah the skill check will be a problem in some cases (and yes anyone can use any skill, but the fighter will probably have a -1 on his check vs. the level 1 cleric with a 9 or an 11 so he will will have a slim chance of knowing something no one else does.). Raise dead is a little weird but if...

Only if: a. You want the skill you can get MCing, not all skills are available that way. b. You never want to MC for a 'real' reason. The MC feats are probably a better value than many of the normal feats but they are still limited enough to not have a big impact on gameplay unless you take the...

And there are skills which are not given by multiclassing, for example my gnome wizard wanted training in sneak because it is important for hiding and for moving invis undetected (if you move inivis you have to make stealth checks vs passive perception to not be 'heard' if heard they can attack...

And since a good chunk of the old spell list are now rituals that are limited by time/money my impression on rolling up a wizard was that it felt kind of old school for all the griping I have seen about them being either 'nerfed' or 'overbuffed' depending on the griper. Add the 3 rituals they...

It's like comedy: I'm open minded if I don't immediately shout down everything you say. You are open minded if you change your opinion to agree with mine. Thus everyone claims to be open minded, but few are.
