That is something they took from 4e....shield was a utility spell that worked as an immediate interrupt. There are lots of little pieces of 4e crunch and 4e style/philosophy scattered throughout the game even if 5e resembles pre-4e more closely.

I believe there would be magical arms-races (wards versus teleport) and so forth. The high-level wizards necessary to teleport an army into an enemy capital city would be fairly rare and I am guessing the more powerful countries would each have a few constantly working to fortify their wards and...

I think the TV series is skirting close to torture porn in the way it has dealt with Theon's story.

I need crunch teasers...need to see if the game is going to improve on the playtest materials.

I loved this game as a kid.

I'm thinking we'll get a FR book first given the sundering/dragon campaign they decided to launch with 5e. That is also where they were introduced in 4e.

I'd prefer they had a planetouched race that included aasimar, tiefling, and genasi as sub-types but I imagine we will have to wait for a FR book to see genasi. I do expect to see dragonborn of some sort and tieflings....possibly aasimar but not sure. Here are races that I wish would be in PHB...

I haven't seen it but I heard it was decent. Was it really as bad as the Earthsea travesty?

That can apparently breed with each other and produce viable non-sterile offspring...

I think the Hellfrost campaign setting for Savage Worlds has a alternate spell casting system that ditches spell points but makes it increasingly harder to cast without some sort of sacrifice. I don't remember the specifics though. And I think the magic user in Iron Heroes worked kind of like...

The bard currently has a warrior skald subclass and one based on expnded song/performance skill. There will probably be a "magician" version that focuses more on spells eventually. Som of the subclasses are going to be designed for multiclass too, I think. I remember reading about some...

I agree...while I'd take ray of frost as one of my cantrips (depending on the number I get, which depends on race and school of magic chosen), I'd never take it before ghost sound or light. The wizard solves problems that can't be easily solved with violence so he is not playing to his strengths...

A boat's a boat but the mystery box? It could be anything. Maybe even a boat! :cool:

If they are bringing back the rule from a previous playtest packet that damage can break spell concentration I hope they also bring back the ability of some melee classes (the old war cleric had it I believe) to more easily maintain concentration when suffering damage. Maybe a wizard can't...

The rules say that you get hindrances from having an attribute of 1 and indirectly state that some traditions cause certain attributes to drop (but you can't drop an attribute below 1). None of the traditions included appear to cause an attribute to fall (there are no negative modifiers) and I...

I'd like to see: An "arcane blade" type using mage and fighter (or some other martial class). I have a feeling that the enchantment school effect (melee attacks against you have disadvantage) could make this very effective. An "arcane trickster" type probably using illusionist mage and rogue...

Warrior god: St. Cuthbert God of magic: Boccob God of Death: Myrkul (entirely because of his portrayal in NW2: Mask of the Betrayer

Wow...the oath of vengeance paladin gets haste, misty step (mini-dimension door), dimension door, air walk and a handful of useful spells like scrying and hold person to go with the excellent buffs, smites, and auras all paladins have. Gish in a can....definitely my choice of oath (though the...

I suggest we replace the d&d alignment system with another equally arbitrary typology: the Meyers-Briggs temperament sorter. I will give this personalty test to all my players to find out where they stand. "This sword can only be used by an INTP and you are ENFP. Sorry."
