Looks good. I can't wait for the print books!

Before 10th level I prefer magic items that are either 1) limited in use, 2) come with a significant drawback, or 3) have the bonuses filed off. A +1 in 5E is a really big deal. That being said, I LOVE handing out loot, and rolling for loot, so even still I tend to have overpowering PC's. I...

I hate falling asleep during a game. I'm the guy in our group who needs the most sleep to be alert (it's a thing I am getting medical help with), and by the time 11 o clock hits I turn into a pumpkin. I am effusively apologetic later, but I know it really rankles some of my DM's. It doesn't help...

I wouldn't compare it to D&D. As a generic universal game system, I'd compare it first to Savage Worlds and GURPS. The dice pool aspect reminds me of Silhouette CORE, but it's more svelte for sure.

I would add a feat for hand-and-a-half style fighting; allows the finesse property for greatswords, but excludes the benefits of the following while in use: sneak attack, great weapon feats or fighting style. I think it's balanced, and has a cost.

Feats are of even more value to fighters than everyone else. They benefit disproportionately from the feats available in the PHB. So, they don't nova *AS MUCH* as a paladin or a rogue, but they do have some significant nova capabilities on top of their sustained damage throughput. On the outset...

Here's an idea: As the last bastion of Geryon's power in Stygia, Citadel Coldsteel now has a burgeoning community built up around it, where Geryon calls to himself Blood War veteran mercenaries to augment his minotaur army. These are the most unsavory of ruffians, but even still, there is a...

If you order them, there are only 6 combinations that yield 18. (all 6's in first 3, any in last place) There are 15 combinations that yield 17. (again, you order them, so 6-6-5, 6-5-6, and 5-6-6 plus any non-6 in last place yields 15)

I have players re-roll if they have nothing below 17. Stats are not as much an issue as they were in previous editions. On the plus side, however, if gives players confidence to go out and actually do stuff. Also, I am reasonably sure I can still drop a paladin with x3 18's. But then, I run...

Bah, he says he's angry, but he never really cusses, so I think he's just a big ol' softy. ;P

As a player and a GM, I see the paladin Smite as offering good round-by-round burst potential that puts it, over the course of the entire fight, on par with the damage throughput of a well-optimized cleric or wizard. Currently in my party, there is a cleric 3 levels above my paladin that pretty...

Yeah, I have to say, the 5E fighter and paladin have some of the best burst damage I've seen in any edition. The Fighter/Paladin MC is just plain beastly. Multi-Attack + Action Surge + Smite means I can drop pretty much any one foe at the start of combat. It's a combo I like to save for the big...

Yeah, my favorite move for my fighter-paladin multi is to wait until I crit on a Feinting Strike to smite with great weapon goodies. Nothing like rolling 4d6+8d8+18, re-rolling 1's and 2's for damage at the close of the fight.

But what *I* want to know is, should warlords damage on a miss?

I was quite satisfied in play. The player took mystic, and while he was not overwhelming, he had a very unique schtick that made him interesting. I am a big fan of the 5-level partial class idea.

I make my players roll. My wife makes her players re-roll 1's and 2's.

Technically correct implies, to me, incorrectness. WotC cannot be assailed for long-accepted practices just because they now fall under an odious new term's "technically correct" definition. WotC is not sourcing adventures to an Indian call center, nor is what they ARE doing in any way...

Why is there no PonyFinder?

Then, for the sake of consistency, we must consider all freelance content is outsourcing.

My FLGS ordered 24 copies, and all of them were gone by noon; I got the last one.
