I think this is quite the opposite of WtC intention. They want people who loves all editions to play 5e. They don't want people who loves other editions to keep playing those other editions with new content, because they attempt to lure people to buy the new edition, not the other way around.

Any ETA on book 4? I'm eager to read it :)

Just a question to the OP: would you buy it if it is open license, but a bad game? Because there are a lot of open games out there, some of them are good and some others are bad. You could buy those instead. I don't really understand buyers that buy for reasons that aren't really consumer's...

Not very different to most other editions, except some kinds of kobolds in 4th (minions die too) Weapon proficiencies seem to change weapon damage. See the fighter axe damage. A surgeon that kills 5% of their appendicitis patients will find himself sued. Negative damage has never healed the...

It isn't satisfying... to who? Lots and lots of people playing OD&D or AD&D did not have such increase in ability scores at all, and those were satisfying games, I hear. I remember enjoying AD&D

The fact it opens new monsters, does not change the fact it makes some other monsters obsolet. By the time you fight Balors, Chimaeras are completelly obsolete. Or Will O Wisp. Or Basilisks. Not to speak about orcs, ogres and trolls So no, my sentence is not a distortion: it makes monsters...

Well, I have some confidence in the R+D group in WotC. I bet they'll thought about it longer than the 2 seconds I took to bring this example out of my ass :P

I fully agree with that. However, the designers are trying to acomplish that using other game stats. At 15 level, your fighter will have maybe 1d8+15 damage, so he kills goblins when he hit (and demons have maybe 2000 hp). Your fighter will have 4 attacks per turn, and will have the "reaper"...

Once again, there is no such thing as improving to hit with level. The only thing that happens is that monsters become obsolete, but your chance to hit to equal level CR creatures remain static. You level, your attack increase, but the AC from higher level monsters also increase. It's like...

On average, 2 dice is about +4. If you need to roll 9+, and you roll 3, a +4 is not an advantage at all either.

That's a false dichotomy fallacy. If a class have 2 (or more) features, some people might like one, and dislike other. The answer might not be helpful for you, but it's his answer regardless. You don't like things "either-or". There's middle ground too.

The question is not how much time will take for the PC to heal. They'll heal in one night. Either with mundane insta-healing, or using a cheap Cure Light Wounds Wand, depending on the edition.. The debate is if that healing should be magical or non-magical, that's what people don't agree. Some...

The best part of the classes, is the Themes. I like how the fighter will change heavily if he takes the "guardian" theme from the Moradin cleric, and how the Moradin Cleric would change with the "slayer" theme. Sounds great.

Well, we have different views in the issue. I have no problem with a Slayer slaying minion-like monsters. Kobolds chance to defeat a Slayer-Themed character is overbearing. The Slayer is going to kill one per turn (assuming low level and 1 attack). If you throw 12 or 15 kobolds at him, he is...

Like they are now. There's virtually no difference between AD&D description and DDnext description. You can dislike hit points, a ton of people do. But then, you dislike Gary Gigax hit points as much as Mike Mearls. Hit points is one of those things Mike Mearls said he won't touch, because they...

I'd rather have an extended rest giving back your hit dice. So if you have hit dice "left", you can spend them right before the extended rest. If you don't, you just recover them.

But also means that when the group tries to sneak past the guards, those who aren't the specialized rogue with uber stealth, automatically fail. We have a game in pathfinder. Recently a character died, and a new PC cames. He is a Bard. He has 43 in diplomacy-related stuff. Even other seasoned...

I'm not. Are you ignoring mine? I understand that the rules are not a set in stone law that have to be hard-coded and key-worded, because they aren't an algorithm to be used by a brainless computer. The *description* of the coup de grace make me to understand that being helpless is enough to...

That also means magic healing is mandatory, and all groups *have* to have a magic Healer. If in a group of 4, nobody wants to play the healer, some one *HAS* to bite the bullet and play a character they despise. I don't think it's a good idea. A middle-ground compromise is needed somehow.

They can adjudicate the rules. Toucing the ball with the hand intentionally is a fault. "intention" is adjudicated by the referee. The FIFA rules do not declare which actions are intentional, that's the referee's job. The 5e rules describe coup degrace for helpless. It does not say what...
