i dunno, the phrase 'no DnD is better than bad DnD' is thrown around alot and i think a similar perspective applies here, there are some compromises where you should realize that not trying to compromise, walking away and getting nothing will result in more happiness than trying to find a golden...

no, they're not trolling, they're making a good point and i can see exactly where they're coming from, "a good compromise is where both parties are dissatisfied" absolutely is an awful perspective, because it implants in people the idea that 'if you compromise you're going to be unhappy with the...

what is your opinion on the way it worked (at least the way i think it worked, i only have secondhand knowledge) in 4e? where characters only had so many slots for their various AEDUs and they had to swap abilities in and out, i'd imagine this resulted in players being more familiar with their...

remove all multiclassing, after the first few levels of new toys start alternating between [numerical increases(extra bonuses to HP, saves, skills)/more of things they already have(uses of channel divinity or extra fighting styles)] and [new class/subclass abilities] every other level, and a...

It's like dog breeds right? all greyhounds are dogs but not all dogs are greyhounds, and in fact, IMO, 'the supernatural' should actually be the larger overarching category of which magic is a specific subset of, but people are also far too eagre to make supernatural stuff and then asked to...

i disagree, the second option seems to me to be very much be leaning more into mechanical effectiveness reasons, like: this isn't saying anything about themes or concept IMO, this feels like it's talking about mechanical synergy.

i think it's multiclassing for achieving a thematic goal vs doing it for mechanical reasons.

while true, i think you missed the point i was actually making.

only because of a lack of nuance, there can be so many supernatural things that don't need to be connected to magic and spellcasting, like i said, distilling everything down to just being 'magic' is boring it's like, imagine the avengers where they're all just wizards, tony doesn't have his...

i would like psionics, i like that it brings a different flavour and mechanics, i like the idea that there can exist more than one power system in a setting and that they could work differently, i think it's incredibly boring and limiting to just throw everything vaguely supernatural into the...

i don't know about appealing to the mass market so this is just thoughts on 'my own version' generally the 5e d20 system patched with a decent heaping of features from 4e -monster templates (boss, minion, warrior, scout...) -4e AEDU mechanics for martials, 5e spellcasting for casters -short...

there should be different tiers of environmental conditions, but they shouldn't be dependant on player tier.

maybe the highest highs don't quite match but i feel there's a good amount of general overlap where MCU could provide a decent reference point for 5e characters.

thread topic deja-vu ...how are 'make the most money' and 'only has to appeal to you' not mutually exclusive goals?

imagine what we could really do with that concept if 5e were allowed more than one kind of spellcasting structure

chances are the thread's going to get locked before we come to that conclusion i think.

if you reread my post you'll notice that i never actually mentioned anything about Thac0 being a good or bad mechanic, only that it is one recognizably associated with the earlier editions, and so by naming him thusly and with the rest of his description they are un-subtly associating the type...

i'm amazed i hadn't seen anyone else mention LoZ before this already, it seem like a IP ripe to be integrated into a DnD setting, that same kind of faux medieval setting, multiple distinct species, hordes of monsters, a vast array of various magics and items, Hyrule's reoccurring shifting...

i mean, 'the longest serving witchlight hand, a grumpy over-the-hill clown that works as a gatekeeper and who hates kids' named after one of the most recognizable mechanics of earlier DnD editions, it doesn't take that much inventiveness to fit the pieces together and see the insult.
