Balance all six abilities? Yes. You just need to: Have an equal number of skills under each ability Have an equal number of attacks that challenge the saving throw of each of the six abilities Have an equal number of classes that each use one of the six abilities for their attack rolls Have...

If a publisher thought that a product of theirs that they made in the decade of 5E14 was no longer generating the type of revenue they thought they might still get out of it... assuming cost was not going to be onerous I don't see any reason why the publisher wouldn't produce an updated second...

I don't trust a single person's opinion here on EN World that they know how to improve Dungeons & Dragons. :) They can obviously improve THEIR Dungeons & Dragons... but D&D in general? Not a chance.

I refuse to believe you actually think TSR and WotC have been producing new editions of the game for the last 50 years just to try and "fix things" and "get things right". No one is that ridiculous so as to believe that's why they make new editions. I take it on faith that you are just being...

Good thing you didn't buy the books then. The rest of us who have been adjusting encounters to fit our players and tables these entire 50 years are using the new books fine.

So what? Those who didn't want the new books didn't buy them... those that were fine with the $150 did. I don't know why you have such an issue with people who are perfectly fine spending $150 on D&D material doing so. I mean, are you just mad that you didn't get to spend $150 yourself...

Coming out of nowhere doesn't really mean anything. After all... Weapon Mastery and Cunning Strike both "came out of nowhere" and were accepted by the gaming populace. So it's not like some new system WotC offered up in the playtests were automatically going to be stomped out by the...

Heh heh... unfortunately, in my experience a lot of players who really love playing are also some of the most gun-shy and so afraid of losing that the idea of purposefully doing something that could get their character potentially killed is exactly the thing they WON'T ever do. ;) If the DM...

At the end of the day... these three new "core rulebooks" are nothing more than just three new books on their publishing schedule-- really no different than any other book they could have released in those slots. There's nothing inherently special about the 5E24 PH, DMG or MM that makes it more...

Heh, oh, of course. They know and we know we will never stop talking about 5E14 (or any of the previous editions for that matter.) But since they won't... there's less of a need for them to create distinguishing nomenclature for it. They did it with 3.5 because as I said further up... I think...

Yeah, but then again... I suspect that from WotC's point of view the communication is fine because they are only ever going to be talking about 5E24, so there's no need to have a way to reference back to 5E14. As far as they are concerned, for anything they talk about, all that matters is the...

I do not, nor do I recall ever seeing a place where they might potentially be made. Most deities do not have statblocks made for them. The closest you might get would be some of the early AD&D Deities and Demigods types of books.

I almost see the removal of the names Strahd and Orcus from this new SRD as WotC actually saving people from themselves. Random people who might be thinking about publishing some stuff are now going to have to stop and think about whether they can or can't use the name 'Strahd' in some product...

Ah what the heck... I'll take a crack at your question! :) For me personally... that new 3.5 revision came so quickly on the heels of the original 3E (I think it was like just 3 years later?) that to me it felt like it wasn't a natural and needed revision to a game that had just become long in...

Yeah, but it's wrong. ;)

I've always used 5E14 and 5E24. So 'Other'.

A good rule of thumb is that any thread that reaches past like Page 20 is no longer really about the original premise of the thread and that the participants involved have got themselves caught in a whole bunch of circular arguments that go on and on and on with no end in sight. ;)

Like the others have said... I follow similar processes. As a usually-DMer, I am up for playing any and all character types since I play so infrequently. Which means I too let the other players make their choices first and then I will see what spaces are open creatively around them. I will...

To me it was an obvious allegory to A.I. usage. Basically suggesting that the same issues and/or freak-outs that people have to the idea of A.I. writing new material and putting writers out of work was the same sorts of issues and/or freak-outs people had over book printing. And @LordEntrails...

For me personally? Probably not... since even though you are granting Advantage to them, they still are more than capable of failing said Perception checks. So how good could their vision really be? :) If I'm saying elves have special sight... then actually give them something special, not...
