    D&D 5E (2014) Alphastream - Why No RPG Company Truly Competes with Wizards of the Coast

    I am surprised that is the case as I view AD&D as the means for Gary Gygax to cut Dave Arneson out of the profits. Gary had to pay Dave royalties for D&D BECMI but not AD&D. The articles I read said Gary would always run BECMI but had rules for AD&D for profit reasons

    Level Up (A5E) Why does a noble have a +1 STR

    Nobles receiving a +1 strength makes complete sense. Most nobles during medieval times regardless of culture had to be warriors. All men were trained for combat

    D&D General New Summary and Release Date for 'Dragons of Deceit'

    I hope it is better than the filler books they wrote as filler between the Canticles series. Those books were terrible and I say this as a life long Dragon Lance fan

    Pathfinder 2E Does proficiency in armor class go up by level?

    I have looked for the answer to this in the rule book but I cannot find an answer. Proficiency in skills, attacks, saving throws and saving throw dc's scale by level. Does armor class for PC's function in the same way? For example, does a 5th level rogue with leather armor and a dexterity of 18...

    D&D 5E (2014) Player agency and Paladin oath.

    There are no inherent restrictions on what alignments get played. Its more of a social agreement between players and DM. That agreement varies widely at each table. The issue with too much agency destroys game fun. I want to worry about game plot and monsters and loot. I don't want to have to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Monks Suck

    Monks do not suck. They just do not dominate a single aspect of combat hence people claim, they are terrible. The only possible change I would give monks is a flat bonus to armor that stacks with Dex bonus. Maybe 15+Dex mod. The end result is still a 20 Armor Class but at lower levels the monk...

    D&D 5E (2014) Fighters should be the social class

    Honestly, all character classes should have the same base amount of skills and only receive a bonus based upon intelligence. Skill monkeys are not needed anymore as D&D has given up even trying to pretend that skills balance out combat abilities. Let people create the characters they want. If...

    D&D 5E (2014) Player agency and Paladin oath.

    That’s a good rationale, however that was not the point of your thread. At least by what I gather, you don’t seem to want any alignment so there can be no restrictions whatsoever. That is a recipe for disaster as it leads to problems. All games need to have agree upon rules in order to function...

    D&D 5E (2014) Player agency and Paladin oath.

    By your logic you are restricting the paladin player’s agency. Why is your agency more important than anyone else’s at the table?

    D&D 5E (2014) Player agency and Paladin oath.

    You are wrong. Paladins are required to be good. Only the lawful aspect was removed from the class

    D&D 5E (2014) Rename the Monster Manual

    I really do not understand the issue with monsters. They are monsters. Orcs always being listed as EVIL is not the issue. Stereotyping them into a specific culture over and over seems to be the problem. Monstrous humanoid cultures should be a twisted reflection of the human & semi human cultures...

    D&D 5E (2014) Player agency and Paladin oath.

    Having a paladin oath does not restrict player agency. The game can strive to be more than merely murder hobos slaughtering everything in sight

    D&D 5E (2014) The Most Popular D&D Classes & Subclasses

    I love this survey because a common post o. This and other forums is how the Champion Fighter is SO underpowered and unfun to play that the class should be erased. The champion fighter is the most popular subclass of the most popular class. Goes to show what forum posters know

    D&D 5E (2014) Dual Wielder Feat Fix

    Using your bonus action for two weapon fighting balances it out. The only errata I would add to dual wield feat is quick draw for both weapons as part of the bonus action

    Saving the Bard

    That is completely unnecessary. Just take the entertainer background for your fighter and you are good to go. No need for the fighter to poach abilities or skills from other classes. Not every dude who swings a sword can carry a tune.

    D&D 5E (2014) Fixing the Fighter: The Zouave

    The fighter is fine as is withe the various subclasses and does not need improvement. If you want more skills, play a ranger or rogue. No need to poach from other classes any more than has been done already
