Would it really kill any player to let the Cleric heal once at a range of 50 feet and then be allowed cast an assault spell such as Lance of Light? What if we had expertise dice for the healing and subjected it to a reaction out of turn or action?

As your DM, I would just like to stick to 3 powers(maneuvers, spells, prayers, feats, etc..) for new characters. This gives everybody a chance to practice the mechanics of the game without being overwhelmed. Also, 3 starting skills should be enough either from a background or from some kind of...

Expertise Dice issues aside, do you like the reaction idea in which characters can take 1 action out of turn? For me, it's adding a whole new exciting element to the game. The dwarven fighter saved two first level characters with his Protect maneuver. People are impressed that this is building...

After doing more play testing I will now say that two weapon fighting needs to either be a result of expertise dice or a main attack and an off-hand attack, but not both.

It plays better as a combined skill. Spot and listen together. I would even say that combining Search with those two skills would make the skill more attractive.

I'll reserve my judgement until we've had a chance to play with the expertise dice some more. Right now, I love the idea of the fighter being able to Protect. I think Clerics should also have this ability as they are trying to heal the party anyway. I absolutely love the fact that every...

How many times per encounter/day should I allow this, Chris?

I didn't! I see. So since healing spell/prayers are words of power, I can allow an attack with a weapon. But I can't allow Lance of Faith?

I was bored with the wizard's minor illusion spell so I made it really powerful. The wizard as his chosen reaction can cast minor illusion on a foe that is attacking him. If the foe fails its wisdom roll versus the wizard's spell DC of 15, then the attacker wastes an attack on an illusionary...

As in, the Cleric can heal either as a reaction out of turn or as part of the cleric's turn. Then during the turn, the cleric can assault. During the play-test, all the Cleric is doing is running around healing people and not helping to fight. It's not fun and the player isn't having fun. The...

Funny how I get mostly criticism for wanting multiple actions per round when experience dice is mostly multiple actions per round. I like experience dice but I don't understand it's inclusion when it was the original intent of the designers to speed up the game by allowing only 1 action per...

We've got to start with a concept of multiclassing. This is what I'm thinking. The game has 4 types of characters. The fighter character invests in his strength and as a result, gets the highest hit dice, the heaviest armor, and the biggest weapons doing the most damage. The wizard character...

I suppose I'll play along for now. Just remember though. The game has added many new elements. Weapon Attack Magic Attack Save Bonus Experience Dice

We can also see that the flat math fails with a 20th level fighter with a 20 strength. +5 ability bonus +10 weapon attack bonus at 20th level according to the play test. Bonuses were supposed to max under +10. If we're no longer going to stick to that I would say that a +1 every 3 levels and a...

It is a bit different. I'd like the bonuses from natural ability rolls and level progression to be equal. I'm not liking magic attack bonuses.

I agree with you. It's a boring progression. And so is the flat math in this game.

5th edition is saying that natural abilities are more important in to hit when it grants +1 about every 4 levels to a fighter. Also, the hit dice are different between a 1st level and 30th level being.

See my flat math post when taken to level 30. I'm making a point about flat math. If the idea is to have no bonus above +10, then the most powerful creature in the game is only +10 bonus more than the weakest creature in the game with a +0 bonus.

Nope. Now there will be only one main attack and off-hand attack allowed.

Let's say a perfect god in the game is 30th level with a strength of 30. Add the two to get 60 and divide by 10. Add the result to the strength ability modifier. This gives the god a strength modifier of +6. Then we allow magic weapons up to +3. So the god would have a maximum potential bonus...
