don't want to go case for case house rule by house rule and stat for stat... but characters in this game do things no one can do in real life and as such in real life we would call it supernatural... the 'tags' we use just say "in this D&D world a trained blank can do that" I do it is my...

I would love a 4e redone in 5e standard... use the Warlock as a template for the classes. Keep the 5e advantage/disadvantage and the HD instead of HS... but redo the 4e classes that way along with powers... a warlock starts with 1 short rest power, and then goes to 2 3 and finally 4 and they...

I doubt it...at least in any useable way. I don't know being able to say "We promised X and delivered X" will bring some good will. if they took the 3 PHBs and took all the flavor names out (I don't think there is much) and dropped all the races and classes into the OGL/Commons, you could...

I think that 4e needed an updated edition over all... another version learning from it's flaws (and even as a HUGE 4e fan I can name half a dozen flaws)

I really tried to leave this with the rest joke so we wouldn't do this... I have been bearly here for months and here I am about to re do the same argument for years... if you in real life jump down 75ft how hurt and weakened do you think you would be? would you be able to run and jump and...

warriors rogues and every other class in every edition can do things no real person can... just off the top of my head I would say get a full rest in 8 hours every night seems almost supernatural to me in 2024

I wish everyone on both sides would admit we don't have access to the real numbers... we can't say it bombed or blew away or was a success or fail except in our own opinions... every edition has outsold the edition before it... so if saying 5e out sold 4e meant 4e failed that also means 3e...

it is a spell... trying to explain it is the same as trying to explain every spell. what happened is you were a caster that is bad at talking to people (low cha untrained) and you used a spell that let you be better at it (aka use the better stat and trained skill)

this is all about WotC watering down cool ideas from 4e and then sprinkling them into 5e. I would lover Avenger Warden Warlord... I might even like 5e more then.

I have run every edition of this game... and there are game mechanics that are like this for newbies in each. Your SA analogy hits well with me. I was running a store game of 5e back pre covid. I had 1 player that knew 2e, 1 player that had played and run 5e, and 4 newbies that 3 of them...

I ran a game with a high damage ranger and a HIGH like felt like he was cheating HIGH AC swordmage... and I would have to decied, do I hit the ranger who is killing me for half damage (the sword mage mark shielded for 1/2 damage) when even with that -2 I could hit 40ish% of the time... or do I...

my group starting in 3e, then into 35 only played spell casters (until Bo9S) in 5e we play either all spell casters or no fullcasters... 4e we loved playing mixed parties that didn't feel like full caster was always the right answer.

This may not look like a nerf at first but please follow... my wizard class would go back to d4s for HD, and would look more like a hybrid of warlock and artificer. take the artificer spell progression 1-5, but never have more then 3 slots per level of spell... but go with the current (not...

First I agree about the save or suck spells, but I think that is a different issue. These spells though, Guidance, Comp Lnag, Goodberry, Pass w/out trace, tiny hut, summon steed, find familiar, augury, invisability, spider climb, locate ____ and I am sure more with a bit of effort of thought...

I have long pushed we need updated restarts of all the settings. 4e did it for darksun. reset to basic 1st box set BUT with updated concepts (so building warlock sorcerer warlord ect in) I keep saying Marvel Comics showed the formula with the Ultimate line

Crisis on infinite editions...

Okay this is like a thread built for me. I ran a 5e game that brought in ideas from every edition. I did it as a multiverses game and had a 2e wizard as a main NPC. From monster/NPC stand it was easy to just make new cross over rules... the problem with players getting it was a bit more...

after the last few playtests my group had lost faith in this playtest. I had not even down loaded this one right away. However a buddy told us "Hey it's more like just a revision now, look at how they rolled back stuff" so we picked it up. Overall I still have my fears, but I like this playtest...

you actually have this down better then you thought, I don't personally like games that DMs tell you what you can and can not say (as long as you get your point across). It is a BIG pet peeve of mine when someone knows what you mean but wants you to rephrase it 'correctly' I call it "word games"...

Yeah, I have gone round and round with others before on this, it depends on the skill. Some skill they will let a good description allow a player knowledge (either real life professional level or just enjoying same stories and knowing the DM so they know what to say) to trump what in game the...
