Stretched numbers to make higher leve tougher. Even the 5.5 stuff seems to be cakewalk.

Mostvif them aren't down the hatch. Some are. Often its an old RPG-7 head or whatever aimed at thin top armor.

More or less tge same. ESB 1 line of dialog and a few rweaks mostly improving the ideals. Generally improved it imho.

Well IV and VI the changes are mixed. Tidied up special effects and visuals great. Shoehorning in Hayden not so much. ESB for the most part was only that. Nothing that makes a significant change. Old CGI tends to age poorly though.

Well played.

Not really depends on execution. I do gave a couple of talent trees based off 5.5. They are locked eg you can only pick one. SWSE had open talent trees. 5 talents you can pick from any of the trees.

Mostly conceptually at this point.

The armor could stop an arrow but it assumes the right angle. Much like tank armor it was sloped and curved. Angle changes slighlt or the armor hits 45 degrees into the side where its 1mm thick vs 3mm and you're in trouble. Modern comparison was the IS-3 tank pike nose. Front on very thick...

Another reason was resources. High quality bow requires specific wood and you're going to denude your local forests assuming you even have the required wood. Or you lacked the knowledge and resources steppe nomads had for composite bows.

Yeah 3.0 had some advantages over 3.5 (I prefer 3.5 BTW its not perfect). A modern 3.X I would probably use 3.0 as a base, 3.5 HP (3.0 monsters were weak) and add some sort of engine to power it reigning in numbers bloat. Every subsystem after that can be tweaked.

If you didn't like 5E I don't think 5.5 will change your mind.

Way I'm dealing with combat vs non combat is classes essentially get bonus options or curated free stuff. In 3.5 terms I have expert feats and some classes get more of them. Its kind of a problem with talent trees as well. I suppose at certain levels XYZ class gets a non combat talent/feat for...

Doesn't really matter if they can hit the dragon or not theyre still dead. 5E dragons are also weaksauce just buckets of HP, decent breath weapon. AC would be higher a couple of points option 1, maybe 5 points option 2. Iwould mix the current dragon design with some 3.5 options. Overhauling...

They don't penetrate the armor though. And you're using a shield as well. Heavy infantry dominated for a long time because it wss difficult to counter it. Until heavy cavalry and bows with higher draw power came along. Parthia cough cough Crassus. I used to have a bow only 55 pounds draw...

Would that be like removing fireball from light clerics?

People like the class and its been around to long to cut. That's it really.

Referring to saves? That's why im thinking all saves scale or the other idea.

Well 5E has +2 and 4E you got the +2 or 3 by weapon.

ESB was about the only one improved by the SE. That being said a lot of people cant remember the originals very well. They recently screened it in UK and its kinda "dirty" and the SE did clean them up as well.

RotS one is well regarded.
