I was under the impression that you could pick any type of weapon as your pact weapon and be proficient with it. You aren't proficient with a non-pact greatsword, but you are with the one you summon. I don't have the PHB here with me, but I thought the language was you can create any weapon...

But two of those aren't technically dinosaurs! #ragequit Ohwait. Wrong thread.

Look, I'm not going to defame Larry Frum if that's what you want me to do. I'm sure he loves the game, and I love that he wrote that article. And somewhere down the editorial chain, I'm guessing someone at CNN likes stories that mention products. Since you asked for sources earlier, here's...

It's a large media company, one that makes it's money off advertising, and that undoubtedly has run some hasbro sponsored commercials at some point, or would like to in the future. I'm not making the case that there's some deep illegal and shameful conspiracy we're dealing with that needs to...

I'd wouldn't lash out too wildly, or waste too much umbrage on behalf of the news media. It's not taking bribes! It's "native advertising" and it's pretty common nowadays. I don't see any "paid advertisement" fine print on first glance, but it is a bit suspect. Anything with tech or...

Isn't this always the case though? [I feel like my signature should have some Dead Kennedy's lyrics or something]

I really don't want "psionic magic" fluff like we had in 4e, though I actually didn't mind the mechanics. My only problem it was hard to use those at will powers out of combat without a deep discussion with the DM (i.e."I can use telepathy, but only if I hit you!"). I tried reading a 4e era...

My point was, I think you're overestimating the degree that 4e players would dislike or be confused by the lore changes. Now, if you're saying they might be confused by the spell system or action economy I'd probably agree with you since I've seen that at the table with people I've played with...

I'd dare to say that most of the 4e players outside of those inclined to post to forums are largely unaware or indifferent to most the lore differences, whereas those lost players from other additions are more inclined to dislike or be confused by some of the greater changes. Speaking as...

Yeah, I noticed that with mine when I picked it up at a midnight release. I was annoyed at first, but then I haven't noticed it at all until you just reminded me. I haven't really had any complaints about the paper quality since then.

The "only 1 arcane recovery use per day" for wizards also put a big limit on the number of times a short rest is viable, from my experience. Yes the fighter can spam second wind maybe, but I haven't seen that play out in my experience. I'm a little concerned how the warlock will keep up with...

Agreed. Cuz when I think of a sphinx I actually have a pretty good example to pull up in my mind, even if it happens to be missing a nose...

[eh, pointless post]

I love Frazetta as much as the next guy, but haven't seen much so far with the art to excite such a response. So far I've seen a deliberate choice to include inclusive and diverse art, but nothing overtly prudish unless you count a bunch of regular looking folks and lack of cheesecake as...

They were turned into "specialties" which were just feat packages, then the uber-feats we have now, and then made completely optional.

It's the "numbers" that doesn't make any sense. Like you said, it doesn't have anything to do with mechanics. Arguing for representation equivalent to real world numbers of anything doesn't make sense for a fantasy game. Trying to codify "inclusiveness" gets into almost Orwellian...

Really not sure of what this thread is advocating. Are you saying that the hobby needs to figure out an algorithm that dictates just how many instances a text should reference "homosexuality" based on a survey of how many people self-identify as gay or bi? Aside from that just being an...

So what do folks think that's supposed to be on the second page with the wax skull seal? An ancient contract with Asmodeus?

I believe they bred true with each other, and any human/tiefling coupling ends with a full tiefling.

And I actually prefer the art style! I'd much rather see brushstrokes and a painted quality before the kind of art that people complained about in 4e
