    D&D 5E (2014) Playtesting D&D Next: Reapers, Cantrips, Turnings, Rests...

    You might be correct on "silverlight". :) I just don't think WOTC understands gamers, and unyielding need to see a game sooner than now. I wonder how many DLs they will have had after say the first 48 hours.

    The 88 Hit Point Ogre in the Room

    Is the Ogre really that tough? Compare that the room with 22 5-hp Goblins. That is 100+ hp of goblins. The Ogre only attacks once a round (yes doing good dam), but as to 22 Goblins attacking 22 times (fairly epic to me). The Ogre might be the easier combat or at least less lethal.

    On the philosophy of monster design in the playtest

    I Have enjoyed playing 4e since it arrived, but I so agree with you. 1 or 2 cool powers (maybe only 1 recharge power) rather than a load of so-so powers, sounds so much better. I would like 5eNext to have cool monsters, yet I prefer if those monsters can be rather simple & easy to run.

    The Playtest Agreement

    If your players don't DL the rules, then they will not be able to supple any feedback. If you love or hate the playtest, it does no good, if WOTC never hears about it. Although it might be fun, Feedback is the whole point of the playtest.

    The inevitable playtest poll

    Maybe we can use common English in polls & avoid secret code words. Last I knew lemons "sucked". I also this polls like this are useful, but need more choices. I feel you pain, I got my playtest about 3 hours ago, after trying for about 8 hours. I have looked at the rules & chars, quickly...

    Abilities and Hit Points: Thoughts

    I truly detest the 3e wand of CLW, but It's crafting wands that lets PC have an almost unlimited supply of wands, not cash. I disagree on the PC's cash control.That is the DM's job, to run a good game, but run the game he or she chooses. Letting the PC scheme or scam money is just poor DMing...

    Scaling of attacks and defenses.

    I believe that is what they were claiming with the promise of "flatter math". I'm not totally sold on it, but am willing to play then decide.

    The inevitable playtest poll

    If I understand, you voted Lemon. You decided on "lemon" without reading anything. Just on what you have heard here tonight? If that is true, I think that is just a very poor decision.

    D&D 5E (2014) Playtesting D&D Next: Reapers, Cantrips, Turnings, Rests...

    The link really does work! I got in successfuly at 11:38Pm EST, after attempting to get in ALL afternoon in to evening. A friend got in lunchtime, on his first try. He didn't even know about all the problems. So don't fret, I'm sure you will download the playtest docs soon. A little more...

    Healing Word: all my rage.

    Since 4e had both touch & ranged healing, then D&D has NOT always had touched based healing.

    Paladins - to be, or not to be?

    Yes, absolutely NO "Clerical work", no filing, no typing, no printing, and not even checking the emails. I'm sorry, I just felt I had to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Playtesting D&D Next: Reapers, Cantrips, Turnings, Rests...

    DDXP in January was the initial public playtest, not PAXEAST. But Yes, I believe that The Caves of Chaos was used in both.

    I don't like Dragonborn: Please come and bring friends.

    So this was decided by whom? You? Hum, I so disagree. They were refluffed. Two edition history, IMHO!

    I don't like Dragonborn: Please come and bring friends.

    The dragonborn was originally introduced in th D&D 3.5 supplement book "Races of the Dragon", from 2006. In that book, dragonborn are presented as a transitive race, members of other humanoid races who, to show devotion t o Bahamut willingly took on draconic traits in place of their original...
