Yup, I agree. Clerics and rogues (in this order) should be the second best guys in melee, with the fighter being the best and the wizard the last. -YRUSirius

And I'll still build my monsters as I like as long as I built them as a fair challenge for my players. Players who start to cry cause they want that specific power of a monster npc can kiss my... Who says that the npc does use a pc class after all? :P Do they have my notes? -YRUSirius

Well, in MY version you wouldn't get this until level 3, because at level 3 you get your first feat from a theme and this opportunity attack class feature would be the first feat for the "Guardian/Knight" fighter theme. "Unfrontload" the classes and such. ;) In my version level 1 - 3 would be...

Labrys - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "Some Minoan labrys have been found which are taller than a human and which might have been used during sacrifices. The sacrifices would likely have been of bulls." Well, Minoan people might not have used the labrys as a weapon in fights, but hey...

Though we are saying 'rogues only' is okay for sneak attack. It's the same thing. We could rationalize sneak attack for every class, even wizards, but we don't, because of balance reasons. 2E/3E/4E players and dms have been conditioned that some kind of Opportunity Attacks can be executed by...

30 pages about falling damage in D&D. You'd think that this would be a major component of the game... "Hey, let's play Dunk & Dive!" -YRUSirius

That's why I'd only give the "Guardian/Knight" fighter this OA class feature. :) The other classes would get other iconic class features. -YRUSirius

So wait, if you go for consistency, the characters in the consistent world know what a class is? Because they know EVERY fighter does this and that at this level? Metagame much? Then yes, the DM has the right to prevent a PC to play a monster class of level X. Hence, PCs use different rules than...

That's the whole point. The players' tools need be balanced with each other. Not with the tools the dungeon master uses. So if a player wants to be a necromancer, he needs a PLAYER class. He does NOT need a monster class. Man, if a player wants to be a dragon, he should be able to do what...

Hm, why not make these class specific ressources something that all classes share? Let's say every class uses let's say "action points" to power their abilities? Every character gets a pool of action points and uses these to power their spells, rages, songs, maneuvers, etc. The new Neverwinter...

Man, I know those whiny little children. They want to be good in everything and they want to have everything. Then they get pissy, if their parents say, no, you can't have it. -YRUSirius

Other character: "Why do you expect to be trained in the same techniques as him? He dabbled in dark secrets - did you? You just went to the Universal College of Dumbleyore..." -YRUSirius

The fighter 4 human (NPC designation) can do whatever the fiction calls for, so whatever the dm says. You don't need the same rules to balance the dm side of things with the players side of things. As I said: This ISN'T an arms race. If you play D&D like this, then maybe this might be the...

Player fighters get to do things monster fighter's don't. Monster fighters get to do things player fighter's don't. A monster fighter isn't a player fighter. -YRUSirius

I like paladins as the embodiment of lawful good virtues as represented by the avatar in the Ultima series. :) And yeah, paladins shouldn't have a god. They shouldn't be holy warriors. This is the domain of the cleric. Paladins should be something different. -YRUSirius

Make up your mind. :) And this is a problem? -YRUSirius

But what do you gain by consistency in this specific instant? On one hand you gain total predictability. On the other hand you gain rules lawyering players who think they get treated unfair because the monsters get an ability they think they should get too. This isn't an arms race between the...

But you DO plan ahead and memorize your spells. You DO have to manage your 'rest' ressources. You can't just spend your 4 rests per day just willy nilly just to memorize one knock spell if you encounter a locked door. This is the whole difference between 4E and this proposed system. Btw, this...

Why? -YRUSirius

Then you won't have any problems with the 15 minute workshift too. ;) -YRUSirius
