Indeed. That was (part of) my point to @Stalker0; that even if 4e's defence model had failed in some way, it was not because people did not like being petrified (or similar) without a die roll, because as a matter of policy 4e did not do that (like you I also cannot say for sure that there was...

I got that; my point was that the only way it could be said to have "ultimately failed" is that it failed to get itself included in 5e. Which as noted in my post that you responded to was not a thing which can reasonably be called a failure of the mechanic. And even if it had failed in some way...

I know that signing up for D&DBeyond at the most basic level does not have a monetary cost. I do not consider "money" to be the only possible reason not to sign up for yet another online account...I have far too many already.

I don't expect to actually see anything, because seemingly they are only releasing them on D&DBeyond and presumably that is not going to change. But as to what I am expecting to hear about secondhand.... I am kinda the opposite. I would rather see minimal changes for real backwards...

Attack rolls rather than saves (or more accurately, rather than a hodgepodge of attacks rolls, saves, both, or neither) is superior, but there is no way the 5.5 can adopt it now without shooting any remaining pretense of compatibility in the head. That is easily addressed by not gating those...

Early in the session we took a prisoner; a wererat who had been planning to lead a wererat uprising, after one of his people had been lynched by some townsfolk who blamed him for the plague going on in the city. Said wererat had a legitimate point, but all the uprising would have done would be...

Thursday: Found ally eaten by spiders. Sunday: Lots of consecutive animated things.

You want to spend your precious leisure time doing things that are "long and painful"? :confused:

I have not tried it myself (and do not intend to, for multiple reasons), but I have seen people down 300+ ml alcopop bottles in much less than six second. The neck of the bottle would be about the same or slightly thinner than the one ounce vial in @Horwath's image, and the volume is an order of...

They could have just assigned a level then, too. And they probably should have done, although that is easy to say with the benefit of twenty years of hindsight, of course.

It is not a question of "allowed". Marginalised groups generally lack the power to allow or disallow anything, almost by definition. The questions is always "what do you want to do"; my answer is always "avoid harming said groups", but no external force is going to make your answer the same...

It may be called a "subclass" now, whereas it wasn't in 3.P, but it is if anything more defining. Hardly a relegation.

Did they take that away? :confused: Leaving de gustibus aside, you do realise that this supports my position and rebuts yours, right? I mean, I get it. Just a couple of weeks ago, I had a player present a replacement character who was a follower of Gozreh in my PF1 Greyhawk game, and had to...

I don't believe you can. And I just told you, in the post that you quoted, that I do not believe you can. Do you really think that contradicting me, without any backup or argument, is going to be in any way persuasive? EDIT: In some circumstances you can. To circle back to the Star Wars example...

But he does need something to tell him what domains are available (etc), and if that information is in the DMG that is not terribly useful. Unless we are going to say that every pantheon is mechanically identical and only the names you attach to "sky god", "war god", etc change, then more than...

Of course it does. Whatever you call it, the fact that you are changing it implies that. Presumably Lucas thought all the changes he made were improvements, otherwise why would he have made them? And let's be fair, the vast majority of them were - there are only a handful that most of use...

Also Birthright.

They are, but they are also an character building element for certain classes (specifically divine casters). For example, the DM telling a prospective cleric player to pick from the Kaldheim pantheon does no good if said player does not have access to the details of said pantheon because it is...

If what they printed originally is incompatible with what they want to do now, then it is not unreasonable for them to consider that a mistake (closing off design space or whatever), even if it could not reasonably have been known to be one at the time. Regardless of whether your or I agree with...

I did, but it does not change anything. You referred to "my issue", but it is not my issue it is yours. I know how the rules work. EDIT: Also, apparently you quoted me nearly a month ago; how come I got the notification today? It is not (by default) an option that exists in 3e (although it...
