    D&D General This Makes No Sense: Re-Examining the 1e Bard

    To make it work you need to make a number of judgment calls on the ambiguities. Is it a single class so you start off as a human or half elf first stage bard which is like a fighter but with bard prerequisites and weapon and armor and alignment limitations and you must switch to second stage...

    D&D General Why do we color-code Dragons?

    I find as a player and as a DM that I enjoy a mix of familiar and new in things like monster stuff. As a DM I generally mix core MM stuff most everybody knows with 3rd party stuff only I have. So when I was running my 5e conversion of the Iron Gods AP the gangs of Scrapwall included humans and...

    Friday Chat: What Mechanics Do You Steal From A Game To Use In Another?

    I used 4e monster solo/elite/normal/minion rules in my 3.5 and pathfinder 1e and 5e games. That would probably be my current favorite cross system rule. I remember throwing an alien NPC from palladium into a 1e game, full mechanics like he got parries while the PCs had regular AC, he had a 6d6...

    D&D General Why do we color-code Dragons?

    Roleplaying is not definitionally playing others, the role can be yourself in an imagined scenario. A character can be a lot of yourself and still be playing. How much you make a role yourself seems to me just a matter of taste.

    D&D General Why do we color-code Dragons?

    The humanoid HD track Kobold d4 Goblin 1-1 Orc 1 Hobgoblin 1+1 Gnoll 2 Bugbear 3 3e kobolds were green, 5e ones are red. It is not a stretch to say these are different tribes/bloodlines/ethnicities or just within the scale coloration variation of kobolds.

    D&D General I'm a Fighter, not a Lover: Why the 1e Fighter was so Awesome

    I don't think it specifies one way or the other or give anything that would suggest one way or the other. I believe a DM has to decide whether it makes more sense for their game either narratively or for game flow purposes which works better for them, to have mages taught by their training...

    D&D General I'm a Fighter, not a Lover: Why the 1e Fighter was so Awesome

    You are not alone. My reaction to it becoming a standard of the party cleric’s was why did 5e give core clerics an ongoing high damage big area of effect that moves with them? Shouldn’t they be designed to generally buff and heal and divine? Now they have a low level more effective blade barrier...
