    D&D 5E (2014) Are Paladins Merely Mediocre Multiclass Fighter/Clerics?

    My only major complaint is that I want a Paladin's classs spell list removed and each subclass to receive a unique spell list entirely based upon the theme of the subclass's oath.

    D&D 5E (2014) Don't Throw 5e Away Because of Hasbro

    I don't see myself buying D&D 2024, because I haven't seen much of anything that has impressed me with the playtest (just as I have not seen anything from WOTC after the core books that made me want to continue buying WOTC products for D&D 2014). On the other hand, there have been several 5e...

    D&D 5E (2014) DM imposed restrictions to the game (+)

    The only things that I did not vote for restricting were backgrounds and features. I suppose I might restrict backgrounds if they don't fit the campaign, but any backgrounds restricted mostly fall under restricted books. As for features, if I am going to ban a feature, I've probably already...

    How well do you predict non-OGL/CC games will do?

    Didn't Savage Worlds do well after the OGL debacle? Obviously, they are not at WOTC's market share (and probably, not near Paizo's either). However, I remember they sold out their print run of the core rules and I have seen several D&D and other YouTube reviewers promoting it as an rpg option...

    D&D 5E (2014) Sell me on 5th…

    I find the core books are pretty good. Personally, I can't recommend anything official after that, but I think there are lots of great third party products- many free or inexpensive including a few here on ENWorld. Beyond the above, I have nothing else to add.

    No "New Year" sale at drivethrurpg?

    Earlier today, I realized that drivethrurpg did not have a "New Year, new game" or "New Year, teach kids a game" (or whatever the titles have been the for such a sale the past few years). Is anyone else surprised by the lack of a "New Year" game sale?

    D&D 5E (2024) Should shields, like Simple weapons be available to all characters?

    Not exactly a shield, but I still recall holding a huge foam kicking pad for my martial arts instructor. Didn't know what I was doing and braced myself with the pad in front of me and my body turned sideways thinking the pad would absorb the kick and leave me protected. In addition to driving me...

    D&D 3.x 3rd Edition Revisited - Better play with the power of hindsight?

    I did this not only for multi-classing, but also for PrCs. I told players, as a general rule, not to plan out multi-classing builds or PrCs other than for theoretical exercises as they never knew where their characters would be in the world at any given time.

    D&D 3.x 3rd Edition Revisited - Better play with the power of hindsight?

    Until the GM puts the party in situations where they have to split up.

    D&D 3.x 3rd Edition Revisited - Better play with the power of hindsight?

    Personally, I changed all of the 2+Int classes that were not Int based to 4+Int and kept the x4 at first level.

    D&D 3.x 3rd Edition Revisited - Better play with the power of hindsight?

    The DM determining which rules/mechanics are or are not used was stated several times in the DMG :)

    D&D 3.x 3rd Edition Revisited - Better play with the power of hindsight?

    Actually, I believe that wrote Toughness was good for a low level one-shot or the elf wizard with low hit points due to con penalty (or was it that elf wizard in a low level one-shot?) and the problem was that they did not tell that to players.

    Marvels Multiverse RPG: Have You GM/Played It and Your Opinions

    Correct, there are several superhero games that have a supplement devoted to expanding the list of powers (by adding new powers and/or showing how to build new powers with existing powers and modifiers) and having all of the powers in one place. Off the top of my head are the following: Bash...

    D&D 3.x 3rd Edition Revisited - Better play with the power of hindsight?

    My first campaign rule for 3e was capping the level at 12. I also would slow leveling at levels 6th-10th and further at levels 11 and 12.

    D&D 3.x 3rd Edition Revisited - Better play with the power of hindsight?

    As a DM, I always treated PrCs as optional. I determined which (if any) fit the cultures and/or organizations of the campaign I was running. However, first I would try to find new classes and/or UA style class variants before resorting to prestige classes.

    D&D 5E (2014) My Everyday Heroes Conversion & Builds

    Hi, Will you be doing builds for any of the following action movie heroes? I have organized them by actor Arnold Schwarzeneggar Adam Gibson (6th Day) Ben Richards (Running Man) Douglas Quaid (Total Recall): if the official supplement is not based on this version, but the remake. Dutch...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is the Forgotten Realms experiencing a new Golden Age now that its NOT the default 5e setting anymore?

    Aren't Krakens in 5e linked to the Kraken Society and isn't the Kraken Society FR lore?

    Pathfinder 2E A quick question about making changes to the Witch and one question for the Cleric

    Hi all, I have a couple of questions: 1. If I wanted to change the Witch's key ability to Wisdom and change the class to a non-prepared castered, would that affect balance? If so what other changes might I need to make to balance the class? 2. Are there any optional replacements for the...
