    D&D General 6E But A + Thread

    Do you not see that is what you are suggesting? At least that is how I see it. Unless you have a draft you can share I will not believe it otherwise.

    Demanding maybe, but wanting the game to be designed how you want to play it is hardly odd.

    D&D General 6E But A + Thread

    By them not being levels you make them 2nd class citizens and that never goes well I guess I simply don't believe you yet. Until I see a draft of actual rules / guidelines I simple don't see what you are trying to do that can't be done equally as well or better with levels. Keep in mind that...

    Yep, It is not that it can't be done, but the bold part is going to be really hard. Heck, when I suggest novice levels should be actual levels, @EzekielRaiden says no, no they shouldn't be actual levels, they should be incremental advancement. As if that is a better solution than starting at...

    Pathfinder 2E I played my first PF2e game this week. Here's why I'm less inclined to play again.

    Sorry, I need to clarify that I was not talking about PF2e. I was talking about my 5e14 homebrew game

    Pathfinder 2E I played my first PF2e game this week. Here's why I'm less inclined to play again.

    I have been thinking about using a modified 3 action system where you get your base movement for free (and like 5e can use it before, in-between, or after your actions). You then spend your action points on actions like PF2, but you also need to spend an action point on reactions. So no action...

    Well this person was speaking from a DM perspective and being able to threaten their PCs

    Pathfinder 2E I played my first PF2e game this week. Here's why I'm less inclined to play again.

    Interesting, I have had another gamer tell me that boss fights were one of the best pasts of PF2e. IDK, I haven't played, but that was on of the drivers for potentially pushing me to play PF2e.

    D&D General Friday Fun: Explain A D&D Thing Badly

    "I believe it's called 'jogging' or 'yogging.' it might be a soft j. I'm not sure but apparently you just run for an extended period of time. It is supposed to be wild" - Ron Burgundy "Anchorman" Sorry, this is the first thing that popped into my head.

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    Relative size / impact of companies too. What WotC does has a bigger impact in the TTRPG space so you get a bigger response and likely a wider range / larger number of people who care.

    D&D 5E (2014) Lord of the Rings 5E Is Coming Next Month

    There is a trend for every odd edition to be the big success, so maybe 7e will bring you back!

    D&D 5E (2014) Lord of the Rings 5E Is Coming Next Month

    Although a 6e could be even more popular and draw even more 3PP support and potentially kill other systems and increase the dominance of Hasbro/WotC. You need to be careful what you wish for!;)

    D&D 5E (2014) Lord of the Rings 5E Is Coming Next Month

    Micah doesn't want to support Hasbro/WotC, but they do want to support 3PP. If 3PP follow in WotC's footsteps, then they will not like the 3PP stuff. At least that is what I believe is their reason.

    D&D 5E (2014) Lord of the Rings 5E Is Coming Next Month

    That is basically word salad. Do you have any examples you can share? I am particularly interested in where the 5e24 rules have done the bold part above. I assume it is player side rules (since I pay less attention to those), but I could be wrong. I can't really think of anything on the DM side.

    It doesn't seem like you read my post (or you wouldn't make the above arguments) and this is not an interesting or important line of discussion to me so I will drop it.

    Yes, I was talking about their background (as opposed to the guard or soldier background). Well there is no half prof. Mind you at level 1 prof. is a +2 bonus. So tech. my son doesn't have prof. in all those items, but it doesn't matter practically IMO. I wasn't trying to say he is exactly...

    I thought about 3 boxes, but not everyone likes to play novice characters so I split it out. However, I would make them all optional. You could start with box 1 or box 3, it doesn't matter. Play the game you want to play. Also, I would make box 1 & 2 completely compatible, only differing in...

    IDK. A level 1 fighter could be a farmer (with no sword training) starting on there 1st adventure. They get a +2 to hit (prof.) that is roughly a 10% improvement over a commoner (he has that at least), fighting style check (he has unarmed fighting - region champ in judo, defense, and great...
