    D&D 5E (2014) Of Fighters and Sammiches

    You may have been carrying that analogy a little too far. I didn't get any of this. Like, where did CNN come from?

    D&D 5E (2014) How Magical or Non-Magical Should the Monk Be?

    There we go, actual arguments. Okay. The problem is simply put: that monks are a good 5th class. Their abilities do not fall into the simple 4 man arrangement as many other classes do. They have some combat prowess of fighters, and certainly some skills or acrobatic mastery as rogues but...

    D&D 5E (2014) Natural armor as DR

    If that is the case, I think that you still need SOME bonuses to AC. So I would suggest splitting the AC/DR split right down the middle for all NA values. By that I mean making only half the NA bonus apply to DR and the other half staying with AC. I mean someone at WotC has likely crunched the...

    D&D 5E (2014) How Magical or Non-Magical Should the Monk Be?

    You obviously didn't read beyond the part you quoted. I suggested you go back and do so. What you didn't read was what we call an argument with actual premises. Such as the monk NOT fitting the abilities of any of the four classes. Again, go back and read it. Beyond that, it makes me wonder...

    D&D 5E (2014) How Magical or Non-Magical Should the Monk Be?

    I think the Bene Gesserit (assuming you mean from Dune) are a great example. So are jedi. That is probably why I so much dislike the Ki aspect or (psionic/magic) power sources being necessary. Also, good examples Steely_Dan. I think this is a little off. I was originally going to propose moving...

    D&D 5E (2014) New Legend and Lore is up! Magic Systems as DM Modules

    As long as the power structure is along the lines of .. wizard has more spells known, less per day .. sorcerer has more power per day (or in a single go) but less spells known .. and the warlock has a small list but infinite uses - or the equivilent - what does it matter which system. There...

    D&D 5E (2014) New Legend and Lore is up! Magic Systems as DM Modules

    If you mean 'role' as in they can use any spell mechanics and still feel like a sorcerer, not a wizard. Then I agree. If you mean 'Role' as in they can use any spell mechanics and still be a controller/striker then OMG I disagree. Which leads me to... I'm not KM and won't reply for him. But...

    D&D 5E (2014) New Legend and Lore is up! Magic Systems as DM Modules

    I was giving a different example than from the 5e material so far, you'll note that I gave wizards 9th level, sorcerers 7th and warlocks 5th. None of which has actually been done with the playtest material to date. So I suggest you go back and reread that part of my post. I was giving a...

    D&D 5E (2014) New Legend and Lore is up! Magic Systems as DM Modules

    Allow me to phrase this in another light. Let's say wizards have 9 spell levels, sorcerers have 7 spell levels and warlocks 5 spell levels. That all assumes that they use spell levels. It doesn't assume they use the same spells, same versions of spells or anything like that. If they all became...

    D&D 5E (2014) New Legend and Lore is up! Magic Systems as DM Modules

    Unlike the other direct posts I have seen, I'm going to say YES. Yes, the lowly player will have to petition the DM for a spellcasting system which the game/campaign/setting is not by in large using already. That is a good thing. If I am running my game and I decide that everyone should be...

    The Bigger They Come . . .

    Here's my problem, I read the article yesterday and I've now slept on it and I can't tell you which giant is at the top and which is #2 . Outside of stone giants throw rocks and hill giants are big and dumb (and frost = cold and fire = fire) I know and remember very little about the article or...

    Playtest Update

    Really not the point of this thread, but I just wanted to add: Pepsi Challenge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia As far as the wiz/sorc/warl split. I think that they either need to separate mechanics from the class, so we can have a vancian warlock (preferable) or they need to cut (or fix) the...

    By the Nose

    Okay, a bit of a puff piece. But I want to know if anyone else had issues with the poll? It didn't really seem to make sense or track. I mean none of the answers given even seemed to match the question, let alone give me the one I wanted to answer. He asked 'How much help do your players need...

    Pathfinder 1E Can Paladins/Rangers use scrolls at levels 1-3

    As far as I know, our groups have always allowed paladins and rangers to cast spells from scrolls before they got spells. This is the only rationale I can offer. Let's assume you are playing a paladin 3/wizard 1. With a roll, you can cast 9th level arcane spells (assuming you have an int 19)...

    Blue Dragons: Sand or Sea

    Where do the blue PREDATORY birds live then? I thought most predatory birds were black, or grey, or sometimes white. But I don't see many green or blue or gold or copper or anything like that at the top of the food chain. Are we now saying that dragons must all be evolutionary? Or are we saying...

    More Than a Shaggy Person

    I don't really disagree, but how do you get later generations without females? Do minotaurs spawn through mitosis?

    More Than a Shaggy Person

    I like this new format, though I have to admit the last question stumped me. I don't know which form I prefer: Breasts/Udders? All my answers, still unsure about the final question so far left unanswered, were answered as 'more cow than man' and certainly more cow than hairy feral cow if that...

    More Than Just a Shaggy Ogre

    I'm not sure if I WAS arguing for one minotaur, I have certainly had games where there was only one, but I did want to honestly add that YES I absolutely would prefer only one cyclops and one pegasus and one medusa as well as one minotaur if that is what it took to not make EVERY minotaur to be...
