I mean... I feel like there are hands in which it would be both more valuable and more valued than WOTCs.

I'm not sure that tracks. If something's already hostile then intimidating it is likely to just provoke Initiative rolls unless its outnumbered or obviously outclassed. Intimidate works best against neutral targets that you'd prefer didn't pick a side, IME.

Couldn't possibly be a bit of bias in that assessment, right? ;)

Not to mention Sam was still recovering from his cancer treatments at the time, probably.

I meant more like... Hasbro tried to monopolize D&D content 3 years ago and now they're making monopoly content for D&D.. or something. I dunno I'm not a comedian.

The jokes kind of write themselves there, don't they?

...I think this says more about your table than anything else.

...So two years ago? Like what even is this statement. 5E and BG3 have the same version of the magic missile spell.

I like the notion that 'Seelie' and 'Unseelie' is just a mortal simplification of a much more complicated system. The various Fey Courts are constantly vying for power, dominance, etc. The Spring and Summer Courts may tend to be kinder to mortals but that doesn't mean The Green Lord will go easy...

Yeah, that too.

This sounds like my dream job. Too bad I don't have the necessary experience... and live on the other corner of the country.

Titania was in 4E, just renamed as Tiandra.

I've literally never had a problem challenging my players in 4E or 5E and I don't have a particularly high opinion of Mearls' game design chops. The problem we're dealing with is fundamentally a player problem: players that want to optimize any fun or tension out of the game make the game worse...

Healing Surges were a great idea.... it has nothing to do with how much of your HP they heal. Healing surges were a pacing mechanic, a measure of how far the players could go before they had to take a long rest because you lose the ability to regain hit points. Hit dice serve basically the same...

They're power creeping everyone. The Monk got a night-and-day glow-up.

Sorry. I think your comments got conflated with some others that were more 'we don't need a psion at all' and I just projected that notion onto you. Truth be told I don't mind if the Psion can reproduce some of the same spells that other casters get (though I'd prefer it to be through expending...

Okay but why? A new class is not a bad thing! You keep acting like designing a new class for Dark Sun is some kind of failure state.

1. I don't think it should be better, just different. Immunity to Counterspell comes at a cost elsewhere. 2. You want me to throw out specifics but I'm not trying to design the class here. I was just trying to explain what I would want in general terms from a best case scenario. There are...

It kind of feels like you are poo-poohing the idea when you keep saying things like 'just make it an archetype of sorcerer.' It's the same thing where people say that Warlord or Ranger should just be an archetype of Fighter... I mean sure you can do that, but that feels needlessly limiting to...
