Adding to the War Hulk suggestion. The beauty here is that he only qualifies for the PrC when he is Large+ (werebear for the win). So his 1/2orc form does not benefit from the PrC, and he can use his int based skills (if any) freely.

I would prefer the 3-book style for 5e. If I am DMing I'll need a PHB and DMG (MM is a crutch! :p)... as a player I only need the PHB.

You are just adding a natural attack to a weapon-based full attack. Which reduces the natural attack to Secondary. So you are looking at Axe +11 / +6, Gore +6.

Remind me to XP you later.

Tome of Battle is one of my favorite 3.5 books. When 4e was barely announced I had hopes for a system that used ToB Maneuvers for fighters and something like 3.5 Psionics for casters. What we got was... [redacted] Ahem, if 5e maneuvers are anything like 3.5 ToB maneuvers, I am all for them. If...

If the Fighter is still standing after 10 rounds the thing deserves to kill him with auto damade for standing up to it so long. Does this still sound palatable reversed? If its good for the Goose... Actually, Fi vs Wiz in AD&D (really any edition) was 100% "who wins initiative". Wizards could...

Dimension Swap on some of your foes with an Anticipate Teleport (preferably Greater) up. Also good for saving the bacon of your party tank when he is very low and you might want to fireball that area. edit: I am away from my Spell Compendium, dimension swap may not be the spell I am thinking...

Was that the book for D&D RP in the old testiment era?

Alignment books - Book of Exalted Deeds and Vile Darkness are both very hit and miss. Some of the ideas presented therein are questionable (Look, Good is not just the direct opposite of EEEVIL!). Vow of Poverty will always be one of my favorite feats... there is a no religious / Exalted hangups...

Reaper would probably not see light in *my* 5e, I am on the fence about At-Will spells however. At-Will useful cantrips I am cool with, but not sure I want to see at-will boom spells. Bruder! You wanna go outside and fight over rules about a game we just made up? So last Saturday was the...

XP worthy!! Though I do agree with Ashtagon's post about the spiked chain "not fitting".

I should have read your OP a little more closely before voting. I voted "Some" based on past experience. However with 5e my tolerance for House Ruling is lower ("A Little", probably). It has to come out of the box as something I want to play or I will not even bother. Some of the things I have...

While I do not wholely disagree with you, "Cunning" has traditionally fallen under Wisdom in D&D. Animals have 3 int, usually 12-14 Wisdom. The ability to spot traps or perceive hidden foes, find and secure food out in the wild, follow tracks, etc. All wisdom based.

Oh, I'm on your side. :p In my new 3.5 Campaign the PCs get Average +1 hp. d4 = 3.5, d6 = 4.5, d8 = 5.5, d10 = 6.5, d12 = 7.5... plus Con mod. The PCs managed to survive the first session, though a couple of them nearly died.

The hyperbole is strong in this thread.

A static 4 per day was too few in 3e. While I am ok with at-wills, 4+ ability mod might be sufficient also.

Material components are one sacred cow I wouldn't mind sacrificing.

I intend on keeping Search (Int) seperate from Perception (spot/listen - wisdom). Search tends to be more proactive, where as Perception is more of a passive skill. Nor do I believe that the Dali Lama or the Pope can cast Divine spells. As far as I can tell their wisdom is fairly average. As...

Nailed in 1. Perhaps with a template that allows him to appear human and raise his Str and Int into the high 20s, low 30s.

Indeed! I am a huge fan of 3.5 psionics and the way a power such as Charm can be augmented to affect more types of creatures until it is Charm Monster (or better). I am not sure how I would do that with Vancian slots... perhaps the spell improves solely based on CL? With a power-point system it...
