Im a big fan of point systems. However the spells have to be designed around said system so its not the best for 5e. That said still love it to death. As for me and my players slots were alwyas a pain in the ass in 3.F. 5e's version works alot to alleviate this though amd its pretty good.

Ah it seems their is a bit of a disconnect there, my apologizes. That was true.... For the first FF. As for the FF I was speaking of I was talking about the later games in context (My first game was Tactics). Later games they used the classic MP system.... Which probably explains why I enjoy...

Please be Eberron! I want my planes, trains , and magic robots dammit!

Yes and no. D&D use a fundamentally system than FF. So a Black Mage in FF will be slinging spells generally the entire time. His/Her weapons being for stat enhancements. I like the way 5e has done cantrips as it's a little closer to that. That and it's also a mind thing. It may be not that...

You know its always interesting to read these opinions. Especially concerning the idea of "What MY Wizard SHOULD be". Especially because it becomes more a question about background. For example I played Final Fantasy long before I was even aware of lord of the rings so my image of a wizard is...

Sort of? if compared directly to its competitors it definitely is the weakest... But its kind of supposed to be. One of the big misconceptions about the EK is its meant to be 50% Wizard - 50% fighter. its more 90% Fighter - 10% Wizard. Its spells are meant to serve as a useful little trick and...

Magic feels in D&D feels like magic that came from where I fist discovered magic. http://www.ghostfire.net/chibi/s00105-blackmage.png So all in all still feels magical to me. Still pissin thunder and shittin lighting.

OK makes sense. Now are we talking in combat healing or out of combat healing? In 3.5 healing in combat was often useless have not played with a life cleric in 5e yet so no experience on that. Your last paragraph kind of reaffirms my desire to never touch 1e even with a 20ft stick lol

Maybe its because I started in 3.5, but why are clerics considered heal-bots? They were never good at it unless you hyper specialize into it. Even then though your barely breaking even...

Basically to give the answer you probably want. Clerics are useful for having a very VERSATILE tool kit. They may not be able to pull larger numbers in areas of specific expertise,but they do well enough to where they can pull their weight at anytime. Also WIS is objectively the best casting...

Im gonna be very upfront. Totally ok with prestige classes being a bundle of mechanics. I really like the idea of "Attuning" to then like items though! Very novel Idea. As for why I enjoy them as bundled mechanics. I always saw prestige classes as niche or alternative skill sets, much like...

That matches up with what I hear of older editions. Ultimately I suppose the "Big Thing" of 5e is idea of what a GM/DM is supposed to be. Granted that argument is long, quick to catch fire, lasted generations at this point, and generally never helpful to anyone when it comes up. As for why I...

Yes. Unless you can sufficiently convince him otherwise. Sometimes this is simple, other times it is not.

If it sounds like it could use a check it will have a check...... Honestly it gets pretty grating especially since hes big on the whole "If you role a 1 something deadly and/or stupid happens" shtick. One of my tablemates actually named this phenomenon "Adventurers Going Grocery Shopping"

The general flow of "Let the GM/DM figure it out" is what at least to me feels like fate. It always feels like outside of combat, which is actually covered very well, 5e just feels like it just wants to be free form which FATE isnt by its nature but its often compared to be 2 steps away. So I...

I'm totally ok with no fumbles. They never seem to serve anything of value even as a failure mechanism and since it happens 5% of the time it happens often enough to where its annoying. That and the only reason they seem to be valued at tables is for the 5 seconds of stupid slapstick.

A bit off topic but Rouge Trader did something like this instead of gold you just had a group statistic that basically told you how rich you were...... It was :):):):)ing awesome! Like seriously even if you have an aversion to Warhammer 40K you owe it to yourself to give it a try!!

The later. Though sometimes players may ask "Can I accomplish X with Y? ".

I am going to go with a strong Yes to Maybe. YES: Green dragons are slippery :):):):)ers and makes sense that while being that creepy dude in the woods they know what they need to know. As for knowledge of ancestors that can depend entirely on how you think dragons work being raised. (i.e. are...

Fair enough. I think we are at an impasse and instead of filling of the forum with back and forths. I think it may be best we stop here and agree to disagree. 5e's a weird game and alot of people see it differently. I see it as something that really wants to be fate but isn't quite there. You...
