Questions: Do they play Champions, Exactly what promps you all to play D&D compared to other systems, and exactly how do you go about not making a character feel mechanically useless?

Birthright 19 - Let's get schemey shall we? Blackmoor 13 - Like I said it's really dull. You might as well just homebrew Council of Wyrms 16 Dark Sun 9 Dragon Fist 13 Ghostwalk 16 Jakandor 14 Lankhmar 20 Mahasarpa 8 Mystara 13 Nentir Vale 11 Pelinore 14 Planescape 13 Ravenloft 8 Thunder Rift 18...

I've bought a few things here and their but I have the same problem of not really knowing what I'm buying. Really I would like to see more high value items compared to one-off adventures and uninteresting subclasses whose descriptions revel jack squat at what said subclass does. Stuff like...

Birthright 20 Blackmoor 15 - Really because of just how un-unique it is. Council of Wyrms 15 Dark Sun 17 Dragon Fist 16 Ghostwalk 15 Jakandor 14 Lankhmar 20 Mahasarpa 11 Mystara 21 Nentir Vale 17...

Birthright 22 Blackmoor 20 Council of Wyrms 20 Dark Sun 16 Dragon Fist 17 Eberron 17 -- Your all just jealous because we have trains! Ghostwalk 17 Greyhawk 7 -- *Sips from cup marked "Grognard Tears"* Jakandor 17 Kingdoms of Kalamar 14 Lankhmar 21 Mahasarpa 17 Mystara 20 Nentir Vale 20...

To be fair that is comics... I know zero people who actually read those. I hear the books did ok though. Granted that was from hearsay

Birthright 21 Blackmoor 20 Council of Wyrms 20 Dark sun 24 Dragon Fist 20 Dragonlance 14 Eberron 13 -- I will hold the line!! Forgotten Realms 15 Ghostwalk 20 Greyhawk 12 -- When you are more generic than Forgotten Realms you have a problem. Also Death to the Grognards!! Jakandor 17 Kingdoms...

That's a fair point. I still feel their's a lot of lost opportunities in that though. But at the end of the day the only thing that seems to sell is adventures... So I cant really blame Wizards for it.

So basically your saying that game design should not mater what so ever. Your not alone in this opinion and I can respect it. It still confounds me that folks like you never seem to take up freeform. It sounds right up your ally.

So from the looks of it. No new mechanics to use as a DM unless those marks of power are that. Even then that seems really small for a setting with a COMPLETELY different feel than the standard. No new player options. No real look of Ravenloft in any real depth. Just possibly a brief intro to...

The 6-8 encounter's has not happened in our game. Hell we haven't even had a single short rest in the game yet. Really starting to regret rolling a fighter... *sigh* I hate it when a DM does not even think about game design.

Generally if your going in melee most of your damage will be coming in from your ability score. Shillelagh basically allows you to circumvent having to choose the necessary invocations to be a passing Bladelock you also get the added bonus of being able to be more SAD without the SCAG cantrips...

SCAG is the Sword Coast Adventurers Guide. In it is the Greenflame Blade and Booming Blade Cantrips. Being as the tomelock allows you to grab cantrips you grab those two. Add shillelagh with those and you start doing a good amount of damage pretty quickly.

1. Front loaded as all heck 2. Some pact boons are deadweight even from a non min max perspective (The blade in general is pretty bad, Tome is exellent, Chain depends on campgain but is pretty good all around) 3. Is way, way, WAY too reliant on short rest to really work its "magic" since you...

Unless your playing Warlock.... Honestly anyone else feel like its the ONE class they kind of screwed up on when it comes to abilities and design?

5e works fine without Feats or Multiclassing. I will say however that not including them will change the game for better or for worse. Basically you have to ask yourself (and your group) how much do you enjoy PLAYING D&D i.e. do you enjoy games for mechanics on a significant level. If that...
