There was a 3e set for Diablo. It shouldn't be too hard to convert the monsters for 5e. https://www.wizards.com/diabloii/Diablo2FastPlay.pdf http://www.amazon.com/Diablo-Tabletop-RPG-Dungeons-Dragons/dp/078691548X http://www.amazon.com/Diablo-II-Diablerie-Dungeons-Dragons/dp/0786917601

I think it comes from a preference to have a character organically grown. One big sticking point of that argument is the build vs leveling. If you build a high level character you didn't have to go through the levels where you're build didn't work to get to the point where it does. But not...

Perhaps refining the powers of a sorcerer takes years of meditation. They may not be studying books, but they're studying their own powers and learning how to control them. That wouldn't leave a lot of time for other things.

You could always do a keen weapon closer to the orginal inspiration: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g6Run-ckJs8/TN-c44OA9XI/AAAAAAAAABA/Een8TkGQFwc/s1600/cutting_things_down.jpg Allow it to sunder weapons or based on the original game version allow it to sever limbs.

There aren't threat ranges in 5e, but if you wanted to import a keen weapon I would simply increase the threat range by 1. So 20 becomes 19-20. If you're a Champion you would go from 19-20 to 18-20, etc. I would make it expensive though. That's a pretty nice weapon there. Also, consider...

I wasn't really referring to tailoring entire adventures, but tweaking the world behind the scenes for a situation or two. Say the group happens to explore some underground caverns down the road. You might not have planned for an underground river running through it. But slap one in and now...

Isn't there a fallacy for this? Taking something to an extreme in an attempt to show that the original argument was incorrect. I really need to learn these some day. Is it really easier to say no? Every day we see stories on the DM boards about players pushing for what they want because it's...

I approach it as who in their right mind would pay for an item like that. Sure that sword is powerful, it helps guide your hand (+3 hit) and cuts effortlessly (+3 damage) and even does something else to cause horrible nastiness to those it hits. But could you realistically expect to be handed...

That's really too bad. It was never mine to give. Table-top roleplaying is such an amazing, and niche, hobby. Fracturing it over playstyle just seems so silly to me. You'd think that a game all about using your imagination would engender a playerbase that could accept that there is more than...

I think you are misunderstanding the argument. Or at least as I understand it. (Maybe I'm wrong.) It's not that items absolutely can never be sold or for sale, it's that selling is such a unique thing that there is no set market or rules-of-engagement to explain how. Sure your players can...

I don't doubt that pathfinder has their own, either directy from the SRD or re-created from the original concept. I was just commenting that the yellow musk creeper and zombie were originally from DnD and not Pathfinder. While it was in the Monstrous Manual 2nd Edition, where I first saw it...

This is very true. But it has amazing support for many, many styles of play. I'm sorry that your specific one wasn't selected, but since I'm assuming they chose this way because of the polls they sent out, your chosen way wasn't a largely popular way. I'll never see eye to eye though because...

Pretty sure that was a 2E thing. 3E at a minimum.

And that would be totally awesome. I can definitely see where your opinion comes from, but I think that you're talking about 1st world obsessions here though. I would hope, outside of spoiled nobles, the people of a fantasy kingdom would take more into account than buying a new lute. But...

I like the idea of the circle of life druid bringing death and decay wherever he goes to keep the circle going. I can even see them using undead as temporary servants. Bring forth a plague zombie bear to spread death and decay for a few months/years until it falls apart shouldn't be a problem...

If I was running a game where one player acquired a magic sword and another acquired a folding boat I would build the occasional encounter where the sword helped out, and the occasional situation where the boat came in really handy. That way both players see their characters shine due to what...

So your saying that because 3e intruduced a new way of playing the game that we can never change the game? It must be the 3e way from here on out? Sorry, but I don't buy that. 5e is a broader game that supports more players and gives more freedom to the DM to run the game that they want. It...

I'm an optimizer that usually has a pretty good of system mastery and I'm an occasional powergamer. I would happily take the folding boat over the +1 sword. I'll take restful bedrolls and instant campfires too. Even an evercleaning cookpot would be welcome. There are so many fun and game...

I'm hoping to sign up in a month or so when I get back to the first world. I'm only on page 4 but I haven't seen anything about being able to get the back content. I'm willing to set my donation amount and packpay for those months too. I just don't know if I'll be able to set this up while...

No worries, I wasn't pointing at you but rather the folks that are very... passionate, about saying that WotC was lazy about this. True, but it is the classic staple steeped in DnD history so I would say it's good for the basic example. I would love to see more options for these. The first...
