Yeah, when I active on DF this one was a recurring discussion...

But the bard is not dual classing so the character does not have to meet the requirement for dual-classing.

There is a pre-bard. What happens with a helm of opposite alignment (or in dozen of other situations one can think up) in undetermined because EGG didn't think too much about this. I also believe that there were few PHB bards in actual play. The only one that I've seen was a character that...

I'm familiar with this position (which is reasonable), but I disagree. You decide to be a bard at the time of creation. You must meet the bard's requirements and the you begin your fighter levers, later you switch to thief and finally to fully-fledged bard.

I'm not arguing the main point that the 1e bard is a silly class (even though I love the idea of a "celtic" bard close to druids), but my assumption has always been that bard rules supersede those for dual-classing, so it's dex 15. My assumption is that you must "declare" to be a bard at...

That is one long debate. My interpretation has always been that the rules for bards entirely supersede those for dual classing.

I thought that it was actually directing the ticks, but it was just an impression.

I consider druids to be quite powerful. Illusionists are too, but they do require a creative player and a DM who is willing to let them shine.

I found this a weak episode. They went overboard, IMO, and they crossed the line from horror to ridiculous. Still the smart alien should prove interesting in the next episodes.

This is one of my least favorite ideas in BECMI. For 9 levels you are an heavy-armored, mace-wielding, undead-turner, healing warrior-priest. Then you became a druid.

I got into AD&D in 1986, so UA was already available. I bought it even before the DMG and basically used almost all of it back then. Currently, I pick some stuff and drop other. Here are some examples: No comeliness (bad idea, worse implementation) No new subraces Cavaliers and barbarians...

Exactly, that was what I was talking about.

What's the matter with you people? I've never ever said anything like that! I was specifically talking about people like Pundit and his sort. I thought it was very clear.

And, BTW, I also like old-school Dark Sun, even though I played only a little in it.

Yes, reading what I wrote would also be great. Since I wasn't talking about anyone but a very specific category of people of which there are very few here since they always end up banned.

If we are talking about the same category of people, then facts don't really matter to them. Just always raising a stink and dog-whistling like mad.

You can only double-specialize with a melee weapon (excluding pole arms and two handed swords). Still the ROF with darts can get insane: 6/1 at 13th+ level!

Oh, it's easy. They will say that DS has been wokefied...

No, absolutely it wasn't my point. I was just talking about DM's Guild policy. About the rest, I agree with you.

I also don't think that they will change it. I was replying to the statement that there is a "need" for a 5e product in order to open up a setting. There is not. It's, as you say, a policy that they are free to continue or change as they see fit. I'm unclear about the rest of the answer: why do...
