    D&D General Vote Up A 5e-alike, Part 1: Tone -- Gritty/Low Magic

    Having to roll in order to cast properly works well with this. Failure to cast a spell could be because you pissed off your patron/god. Maybe cuz you used too much Jazz Hands while casting. Powerful beings can be fickle that way.

    D&D General Vote Up A 5e-alike, Part 1: Tone -- Gritty/Low Magic

    I think that the Warlock works better with the idea of Low Magic. A Warlock who potentially needs to contend with their Patron is more limited than the unattached Wizard.

    D&D General Vote Up A 5e-alike, Part 1: Tone -- Gritty/Low Magic

    You're right; 3d6 is too low for 5e math. 4d6 works better. I like the idea of Warlocks with their Patrons over the Vancian Wizard. Just like the Cleric and their god, I think Patron dependency attaches the PC to the setting and gives them some extra flavor. My opinion is heavily influenced by...

    It doesn't bother me at all when people comment on other posts in this thread, but it does bother some other folks. There's a thread dedicated to commenting on this thread: https://www.enworld.org/threads/d-d-memes-thread-discussion%E2%80%A6.698201/

    D&D 5E (2014) Should martial characters be mundane or supernatural?

    Yeah, I felt like I was constantly trying to "fit a square peg into a round hole" when running a 5e game. The 5e game was adequate, but didn't really work for me.

    D&D General Should ENworld Posters Design a D&D?

    The image of herding 1000 cats comes to mind, so I'll just lurk on this thread 😉

    D&D 5E (2014) Should martial characters be mundane or supernatural?

    It depends on the edition. If I'm playing a b/x d&d (or clone), then martials are mundane. If I'm playing 5e, then they're supernatural like everyone else. In the past, I've been very resistant to the idea of martial classes being supernatural; until I realized that the assumptions in 5e are...

    Where i share my experiences with DCC (as a noob)

    In all fairness, that wasn't really a review. The stuff above are initial concerns that I have. OTOH, who cares? Do your thing. Are there Spell Duels? I think that was inspired by Dying Earth.
