So, all you are saying is "I liked the changes Paizo made. I don't like the changes WOTC made." Originally you said that WOTC just made a homebrew of an existing system which is why no one was excited about it. You just said Paizo made a homebrew of an existing system and that's why they...

Oh, I know. It's just that for some reason people I've seen play bards don't want to. I don't know if it's just the archetype that causes people to feel that way or not but it's been a recurring thing that we've seen. In Living Greyhawk we played with one bard whose first round was always...

Wait...so WOTC comes out with a fairly large overhaul to an existing game: 3.0e. Then they revise it slightly: 3.5e. However, this doesn't "wow many people" since it is a homebrew version of an already established game system. But then Paizo takes the same system and makes slight changes to...

It can. But it can do it only charisma modifier times per day and when the person uses it they get to add it to one damage roll and it goes away. The playtest version of the Bard could sing as an action all everyone would get +1d4 damage on all damage rolls until he stopped singing. There was...

I believe the goal is that you can make Paladin with a 10 strength and still hit as well with a sword as a fighter. That way you only need one good stat instead of needing 2(or 3 stats if people think you need Con as well)

My theory on this one is that the Invocations used to be encounter powers and they were increased to at-will powers when they realized that with an hour long short rest that most days an encounter power basically is a daily power. I believe the original intention was: Cantrip=At-will...

So far I've noticed all the changes we've seen so far are: -Bard gets 2 more known spells and doesn't get a cantrip at level 16. The final version doesn't mention Font of Inspiration going up at level 10 and 15. Hit dice were changed from 1d6 to 1d8 -Sorcerer doesn't get a cantrip at level 16...

Also, it has the side effect of making everyone able to hide in plain sight if you have to use Darkvision to find them.

I'm going to disagree. My time as a Triad member and admin in LFR showed me that precisely what everyone was using those campaigns for. A large amount of the adventures were being run in stores purely due to space concerns. However, most of them were being ordered and ran with nearly no...

The primary way I used to play both LFR and LG went like this: "Hmm, I have nothing to do tomorrow, maybe we should play some D&D. I know, I should order some adventures. I'll read through them tonight. Then I'll call people up and see who is available to come over to my house for some D&D...

If you want a real answer to this, I can give you one. It won't be one that makes you happy, though. The problem is, we now live in a world where you can get everything extremely easily almost immediately. The internet has created a culture where if something exists, it is available, is...

There currently is no Arcane Archer in 5e.

Nope. The subclass list from the February leaked Alpha is identical to the final subclass list. None added, none removed. Also, so far there's been nearly no difference between the Alpha and the final previews. So far I've noticed all the changes we've seen so far are: -Bard gets 2 more...

Singing sounds so poor by itself, might as well play an instrument to have some accompaniment. :) Besides, it doesn't so much matter if it is singing or playing an instrument. It's still silly. And even though you COULD just sing, that didn't stop nearly every bard in existence from saying...

Let's assume a 12 AC on your enemy. With an 18 Wisdom at 1st level this means You hit on a 6+ or 75% of the time. That means on average it does 10.5 damage. The extra damage from the advantage is hard to quantify. Let's forget it for now and deal with it at the end. 12.375 on average...

If you've ever seen Gamers 2, there's a line in there that kind of summarizes this for me. The Bard is playing his lute and standing at the back of the party. One of the PCs says "God dammit, man, HELP!" and the Bard says "I *AM* helping!". I'd prefer a Bard whose entire purpose wasn't to use...

I never said I had a problem with it. Just that a lot of people did. I think the idea is that the thought that every single swing of their sword was magical was just a little too magical for some people. I saw a lot of posts about it over the last couple of years. Over the lifetime of D&D, I...

It's not. It's an edition that claims to have taken the "best" things from every edition and combined it into one. A large number of people hated Cha and Con based attacks for non-magical attacks. That's one of the things many people complained about in 4e. The idea being that people are...

I wish. I seem to have volunteered to run some Expeditions. I'm not sure the store understands how it works. I was suggesting running some periodically on a Friday or Saturday(maybe once a month or every 2 weeks) so that we could transition some of the casual players from Encounters to...

Although there's no NEED for it, there's also technically no need to print half the book as it is all located in Basic Rules as well. I suspect it is a list of the most basic early level monsters. It may even be a similar list to the Starter Set. I suspect the list will be longer in the Basic...
