Wow, this is lame. So the only thing that's actually relevant is the tables, which aren't really the sort of thing you need on a DM screen. There's not enough material here to cover the whole screen, so they add tons of padding. Recycled art. Maps that are only useful for one session. A whole...

I agree that the existing content should be sufficient. A ninja is an assassin. A samurai is a knight. These concepts already exist in the game. If you want to get magical, we have the Monk and the Paladin.

My interpretation is that treasure in 5e is more of an RP reward than anything else. I like it better this way. I mean, if you just go on adventures to get treasure, and spend all your treasure just to get better at adventuring, then what's the point?

I though about this during the playtest. Why wouldn't every wizard know every cantrip? Based on the final rules, I'm not sure it's a problem. Cantrips aren't written down in the spellbook, they're just permanently memorized. So maybe a cantrip is a magical talent you can just do, that you can't...

Well, it's not just an unearthed arcana. It needs to be a DMG, too. It needs to have guidelines on how to run the game. In fact, that's mostly what it needs to be. That's why it says "Dungeon Master's Guide" on the cover. Were you expecting literally 320 pages of rules options? 34 pages about...

What are you looking for in an "unearthed arcana"? I see: 4 pages for Gods of Your World 2 pages for Magic in Your World 6 pages for Downtime Activities 7 pages for Play Style and Flavors of Fantasy 6 pages for Other Rewards 15 pages total for Exploration, Social Interaction, Combat, and Chases...

Why? Surely the whole point of a 5e DMG is that it's an updated version of the 1e DMG. Why wouldn't they have material from the first edition?

Holy crap, this is awesome! I love the story about Vecna and Kas, and how the sword of Kas is the only way to permanently destroy the artifacts. The players then immediately ask "So, where's the Sword of Kas?" And there you go, a free adventure hook.

Every magic item that is not inherently limited requires attunement. Armor doesn't require attunement, because you can only wear one armor at a time. If rings of protection didn't require attunement, you could wear 20 of them and be untouchable.

Did you see the Ebony Fly? Edit: And almost all the rest. I'm beginning to think you were being sarcastic.

...And? What's the issue? Why are you still playing with this jerk? Are you looking for advice? If so: That person is a jerk and you shouldn't play with him.

Maybe "host" would be a better word. "Horde" has certain connotations.

This is pretty much what I'm expecting. Like the PHB has "all" the races and classes, and the Monster Manual has "all" the monsters, the DMG should have "all" the magic items. Rule of thumb: If it was in the 1e, it should be in the 5e. Anything else you can fit in, great.

Polymorph can be used offensively, so there needed to be a reason you couldn't save-or-die people by turning them into jellyfish or whatever.

You can run a game without the DMG, but I'm finding it almost impossible to create a campaign without it.

This thread should be in the Character Optimization forum, not the main 5e forum. http://www.enworld.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?363-Character-Builds-amp-Optimization

About the preview itself: What is the point of this restriction? Why wouldn't you just say "I am going to draw one card," draw it, and then say "I am going to draw one more card"? Unless it means that you only get the declared number of draws ever, but that would seem to defeat the whole purpose.

Are those from the Gardmore Abbey set?

Whatever answer you go with, it has to be the same for NPCs and PCs. I will note that a similar mechanic from 4e (the various "mark" powers) was entirely dependent on the opponent knowing about it. I'm also a fan, in general, of giving the players as much info as possible. So my answer is, yes...

Why not elk?
