I think the next PHB should showcase a good selection of races that cover the largest range of archetypes, given space constraints of course. Fantasy is not just Tolkien anymore. And neither is Vance (who is, BTW, almost unknown in many countries outside USA). Fantasy is also Harry Potter and...

Yep, I'm much on the same boat. Why having Half-Elves if you have Humans and Elves and you could just select features from one or the other? I hope in the modular approach they are devising they are taking care of this. Oh, BTW, I'd really like to see "cultural" race features to be some sort...

This I don't get. I've been playing lots of political / intrigue / diplomacy / no-combat adventures through my decade old RPG career. With different GMs and different systems. One thing that's ABSOLUTELY true is that NOBODY can take out roleplaying from RPGs. Doesn't matter if it's 1E, 3.xE...

So, because YOU don't have the strength of will to enforce the decisions you make in your campaigns, EVERYBODY else must miss something?

Well, for starters, it seems it made quite a lot of people think that 5E will be directly based on 1E or 2E, thing I think most surely won't happen. ;)

This. I may be cynical but I think it's all bait-and-switch. After all, one of the few points where all agre is that WotC did a HORRIBLE work of PR with 4E. I think they are just trying to reverse this.

I really like the power source concept of 4E, but I didn't like how it was used in the end. Didn't matter much, all in all it was just a label in your character sheet with little meaning in the game. I'd like power sources to be expanded and given more meaning, with perhaps different mechanics...

I definitely want them to keep the combat roles in 5E, but they don't target one role per class like in 4E pre-essentials. One role is too little. It gives on to class bloat, because you then try to cover all roles for all power sources (or whatever they decide to call them, expicit or...

Voted no. Always thought named spells were crap. It's OK if they put the names of the creators in the fluff blurb, but not in the spell name itself.

I think part of the problem lately comes from the fact that the old-edition-loving crowd has assumed - of course in part due to the marketing blurb - that "wo-hoo we won the war! 4E sucks and WotC finally acknowledged it!". Sorry, but I absolutely hope this is not the case. I hope the modular...

Not convinced the info is entirely true, but even in case it's just early palytest. Anyway, happy to see they're not just ditching all the good things 4e introduced, like A/E/D powers and warlord healing, just to please the elderly. It's also nice they are experimenting with different kinds of...

Am I the only one in believing this to be just an obvious, shamelesss scam?? "Hey, let's sell the old farts reprint of the 1ED stuff, because we must build up our public face again now that we're planning 5th edition!!!" :D :D: D ... of course, I'll end eating bait and switch and everything...

Makes me sad to notice that there might well be people complaining because there's no warning that a podcast hosting gay designer speaking about the game. Not about sexual content in the game, which could maybe be questionable, depending on the detail (and regardless of sexual orientation) the...

Think quantistic. When a CHARACTER is down, you don't know if he's alive or dead. When the warlord gets there and yells, if he get's back on feet, then probabilities collapse and you know he was not dead. Of course, the PLAYERS know a lot more but it's all game variables. Hit points, power...

Positive. 4E is stagnant. 4E had many very nice concepts, IMHO, but it failed horribly in selling them to players. Marketing has been terrible. A new editio, which takes what was good in 3E and 4E, cleans the stuff up and merges it would be the only way to clean the bad reputation of D&D and...

I'd like to see 2 or 3 divine classes - paladin: martial oriented, good weapon and armor, limited sphere selection - priest: controller oriented, poor weapon and armor, lots of sphere selection - cleric: in the middle of the two, leader type, lots of healing

Regarding the phylactery: when the characteris reduced to 0- HP, all he wears crumbles to dust - except for a ring. Guess what's the phylactery? Wearing the phylactery is a very bad idea. Plus, note that following the ritual RAW the character does not benefit from death saves and negative HP.

Thank you very much.

As subject. I tried looking around but I couldn't find how. Thanks.

I always assumed 1GP = 100$ This puts most of the objects out of reach of common people, but we're talking about a pseudo-medieval society where most peasants actually saw and used little coinage and didn't receive a real salary, and they were expected to grow their own food and build (or...
