If it was me... I would not have any Skill Mastery affect combat-related rolls at all. That defeats the purpose of them being specifically about Skills. We already have Weapon Masteries that affect weapon-using characters in combat, and Cantrips that can affect magic-using characters in...

As determined by what? Not selling as well in comparison to...? What exactly are these metrics that sales of current products are supposed to be put up against?

I think the differences are all just a matter of scale.

I disagree. Let's see the sales of the next five books after these new 5E24 core books to see how the D&D line is doing. If those books sell on par with the previous five books prior to the 5E24 core books... then everything is progressing right along as normal. You could remove the three new...

Even if it seems more powerful at first or second glance... I'm of the opinion you're probably still better off trying it and using it so you actually have a Warlord at your disposal in your game, rather than not using it and waiting hope against hope that WotC gets around to it. After all...

At least in this last point the answer (at least to me) seems rather straight-forward... narrative and story-based gaming do not need rules. It's improv. The more story-based you play, the less you worry or care about the "board game" aspect of RPGs and more about inventing and playing through...

There is no point in asking Question #3 or debating #3 or worrying about #3. We don't know... we will never know... so bringing it up or using it as some sort of evidence for one's beliefs about the state of Dungeons & Dragons is a waste of time. As I said... WotC's game line continues. Right...

Anything that is not strictly mechanics-related will absolutely be able to be used. I mean I would presume anyone playing Level Up has been able to use any of EN Publishing's older adventures with it even though those were made for 5E14 and not Level Up specifically. So there's no reason to...

I would disagree with the idea that they did not change enough in 5E24. At the barest minimum... they fixed a number of things that people were whining incessantly about for like the first four years of 5E14's existence-- the Great Weapon Master and Sharpshooter feats... the Ranger's Favored...

I keep wondering why people seem to think the three core 5E24 books were supposed to be this huge thing in the first place? As though the game begins and ends with these three books and that if someone chooses not to buy them that somehow that's a major failing and that everything is falling...

I've done something similar, in that I've had PCs that have purchased "burned out" Ioun stones... the ones that ran out of whatever magical power they originally had and turned grey... and then had Continual Light cast upon them. Because even though the burned out grey Ioun stones no longer had...

No. Double no. Triple no. She is her own DM. She is going to learn her own best practices. She is not going to be perfect, and she is not going to be the best DM for how each and every one of you wish to play the game. Heck... I've seen enough of your posts complaining about your players...

I look forward to seeing the next person's list that probably disagrees and runs counter to most of your votes. ;)

The Necromancer is like the Psion and the Warlord... every person has a different idea about what it should do and how it should be done. And every Necromancer player will have different things that they need their animated minions to work and look like. Are skeletons/zombies animated purely...

Hopefully each of us will be able to take this one data thing and use it to spin-- I mean "prove"-- whatever it is we want to believe and say regarding Wizards of the Coast and Dungeons & Dragons. Needless to say... the game is still here.

Until I actually play any of the three Dragon Delves adventures that were listed as possible for solo play as a solo play player to see how their solo play rule suggestions actually work... I will not bother trying to "fix" them sight-unseen. Heck, for all we know a veteran D&D player could...

And the answer to this is that they should be in any specific 5E24 game if that game's DM wants them to be and makes/finds a Half-Elf species design to incorporate into it. If specific Half-Elf game mechanics are that important to that DM, then that DM can add them. But if the question is...

That's not the point. The point is Vex and Vax could have been half-elves in CR Season 1 and been played as half-elves and been treated as half-elves... even if the couple of racial game mechanics written on their character sheets were human ones or elf ones. You don't need specific game...

And they could still have done that story, even if they had gotten 3 Human or 3 Elf mechanics, rather than 3 'Half-Elf' ones.

If I'm going to imagine fun things... there's a much longer list ahead of 'D&D isn't owned by WoTC anymore.'
