I agree with your point. If the two players have a wizard duo concept and coordinate to stay off of each other's toes, it can work and actually create cool synergies. We ran LMoP using the Starter Set (5 players, 2 wizards) and they coordinated very well from the get-go. Unfortunately, OP is...

It makes them harder to kill. ;)

Both attunements and rarity feel like meta game guideposts for DMs more than they feel like the in game lore for the pseudoscience of magic items. I'm not sure how I feel about the "music of creation" lore. Bards always seemed more like mavericks who are dabbling in all aspects of magic and...

Two players with the same class have never been allowed at our table, unless the players wanted it. It's bad mojo in terms of spotlight stealing. The negative reaction you had is the exact kind if situation a policy like this addresses. And this isn't about math, it's about feeling like a...

Left field idea: What if it tails weren't an obstacle to dungeon crawling? What if she just moves around on a tail like a yuan-ti? For inspiration, you could look up "Nami League of Legends" on Youtube. She's a land based mermaid. My inner 14-year-old votes for this, however. "Even before...

You actually lost me here. It doesn't appear to be a module number. What does this mean?

Yeah, I'm going to agree here and speculate that the tidbit from Perkins is more about R&D planning than sales targets and cycle planning. The positive to this is R&D sees at least a 7 year future for 5e. Of course, the financial situation X years down the road could cause WotC to reassess, but...

Sadly, projects that are going to be sold have to be prioritied. And that's not a "big corporate Hasbro" dig. Any company of any size that needed to back burner a project is going to back burner the freebee first.

Hey, here's a positive thought. A seven year plan means they aren't planning to do 6e for at least 7+ years!

Fanboy is not an insult unless used as a insult. I would refer to myself as a D&D fanboy, or a tech geek, or a gaming nerd. If I was in high school and Rip Musclejock was calling me a fanboy, geek, or nerd, it would not be the same thing.

Whether you want to play a Champion or a Battlemaster can be based on your preferred amount of complexity, desire for an old school feel, and/or the number of adult beverages you consume during the game.

Not the first or last to do a thread like this, and while I have edition preferences, I don't consider myself any sort of "edition warrior". The "7 years" thread inspired me to share. 2e I started here. Wacky, unbalanced wish fufillment campaigns. Awe inspiring settings. A total sense of wonder...

No fair! I wanna talk about the content I want, not the content I acutally need! :P Wanting more content <> unhappy with the amount of content I have now. But seriously... Since 5e PHB launch, playing one night a week: Player 5e: 1-5 cleric in LMoP (full group: cleric, fighter, rogue, 2...

It's not a single rule saying X became Y, per se. It's more like they did a "find and replace" to during the design process. If you look at PHB Appendix A: Conditions (p290), each of the conditions that in 3e denied dex bonus have all been changed to granting advantage to attackers instead...

Thanks for the reply! The cries of "Realms, not Greyhawk?" had been bugging me a little. Sure, we all want our favorite setting repped in 5e and this is a missed opportunity in that sense, but PotA is not a "chuck lore out the window" move by WotC. Even if the lore hadn't been established...

"RAW legal via official channels" is pretty straightforward. Sage is sage. No matter the medium, sage is sage. A DM can (and should!) change any rule or ruling as they deem fit, but sage is still sage.

If the party needs the healing, yeah, sure.

Insert "staffing cuts" joke here.

Storywise, the Evil Elder Elemental Evil Eye of Evil or whatever it is called is a planar baddie with it's eye on various mortal worlds (I *think* this is supported by prior WotC/TSR publications as well). Metawise, this module (like Tyranny of Dragons) is being mirrored with a video game event...

I'm going to flip this into an question, for anyone, not just directed at Sacrosanct. 1) In 5e, does PC level gap eventually become a problem? 2) If so, what size is the gap when the problems start?
