Cut WotC some slack. They're showing effort. Yes, the polls could be better, but it's the first time a game company does that on such a large scale. I think they are on the right track, and I think they'll improve when they know what works and what doesn't. It's time we stop acting like the...

Gauntlets of Dwarf Tossing Allow you to throw a dwarf 3d6 squares if you manage to grab one by the neck. Shield of Spell Reflection Shield with a mirror surface, but only spells show a reflection in the mirror. (That is, you can see the fireball coming in the shield, but it doesn't throw it...

Ah... I've always assumed it's just imprecise terminology when someone talks about "killing a player" online... Little did I know about the dark truth out there... NO, NOT BLACK LEAF! NO, NO! I'M GOING TO DIE!

Can't stress this enough. I'd even split further: * DMing * game design * illustrating / layouting a game * marketing a game * running a game company ... are very different skills, and at best someone is good at one of them. Some of the biggest trainwrecks in the industry happened when someone...

Obviously, if you don't confront him about it, he's not going to stop. If you know he's cheating, and you don't call him out for it, you implicitly give him permission to continue. You're the DM. If you want a "no cheating" rule on your table, you need to enforce it yourself. Who else would do...

I agree with the others: Don't change anything! - The number of players will go down eventually. No worries. Just make clear that you absolutely do not accept new players now. Period. - The wealth level will buff itself out. Just don't hand out any treasure for 2-3 levels, and it should be...

Daily Power: Meet the Wife Nasty Dragon! Don't *whack* touch *smack* my *pounce* hubby! *maimslashkill*

The sad/great thing is, the OP got me more excited about "Ranger Wickett Edition" than anything I've read from WotC so far. I really really dig the stunt system. Seriously, if he wrote that up and sold it as PDF I'd dump it in my 13th Age playtest rules and I won't need 5E.

Seriously, that is the first time I'm looking at a WotC-made Dungeon and I think "WHOA! GIMME! I WANNA PLAY!"

I've been trying to figure out what this year's April Fool's Joke on enworld is, but so far I didn't see one. Must be this thread here then.

For sure I checked my email this morning and I can't hold back my giddly excitement. Obviously my special package included not just new classes, but a totally new race! I appears that the designers have been closely following the forums, and I confirm that SENTIENT BEARS ARE IN!!! The Bearborn...

Stormonu: What is the advantage of your version? I don't see any, just extra work. And even though it's more complicated, your archer covers only 1 archetype, where mine covers yours and four others.

"I want to marry the ocean" - "Freaky fish guy!" Sorry, I don't have anything to contribute here. This thread is too sad to be real, and not sad enough to be satire.

Ok, here is how I'd do the archer, tell me if this would work for you: Archer light armor, medium hp, all weapons, fletcher skill Level 1| precise shot, 2 archery tricks 2| archer path (see below) 3| far shot, shot on the run 4| archery trick 5| path ability 6| twin shot 7| archery...

This is going back and forth with no side really convincing the other. I think both sides have made their points at this stage, we are just repeating what was said before. Mhh. I need to think about this. Let's take a big step backwards. What are the requirements of a good solution? *...

D&D is supposed to be a game with mass appeal (among the nerdier population). It has to be accessible to the many many casual gamers out there, and the fresh blood who get the books for Christmas from their uncle. If you hang out in RPG forums and discuss game theory, you're one of the 20% that...

One reason I started this thread is that I want to get away from this "deserve a class" mindset. In the end, a class is just a package of abilities for your PC, an advancement table, and a suggested background. In other words, a template for building a PC. It's weird that in D&D, the templates...

Just had a look at the official 3E list of Prestige Classes. Excel says there are 712 unique entries in there. Seven hundred and twelve. So even if you plan for 5E to have 100 classes, you have to whittle down that list 7:1. Or in other words, just take the 30 or so core classes of 3E as base...

I could swear I've seen such a Prestige Class somewhere, but I might have made it up. All I found right now is the 3.0E Tome and Blood Alienist, who turns into a tentacled amorphous creature at level 10. Some of the early 3E material is downright weird. EDIT: There is also a Cancer Mage and a...

I'd add 102. Everyman Hero / Commoner 103. Courtier 104. Tomb Raider (fantasy version of the two-fisted archaeologist) 105. Blue Mage (learns monster abilities) 106. Vampire (it's a class in 4E...) 107. Shapechanger You also have only 2-3 psionic classes in there, where official D&D probably...
