True enough. I do know that for me, although I am unconcerned with various game mechanics and systems, they all tend to tell different stories when used. Which is why I will play different games, or even just different editions of the same game. The stories that result from using AD&D play...

I would absolutely change and run the new game. Every D&D game from every edition I've ever run has been loads of fun. Just like every other RPG I've ever run has been loads of fun. If I pick up a new game, then I'll run the game. Whether I do a one-shot or a several-session adventure or a...

I'm presuming @Lanefan was referring to the sales of 5E14, not the number of people playing it. Sales of 5E14 material have already peaked and are now mostly closed because the only thing left of 5E14 sales are the older books currently left on shelves. All the current products being sold are...

For me, any spell or effect that gets used like once every 20 sessions (if that) is one that should have as broad an application as possible. In fact, I'll usually give a player extra sauce on it if/when they do use it because it's an original feature that's finally getting used after all this...

Dunno about the printed magazine, but the online DDI Dungeon Magazine for 4E called theirs 'Side Treks'.

I suspect that the real issue with Sigil was that it was being made by the big dog of the D&D world and thus had both financial and appearance requirements that forced them to try and make a thing that would be used by more players than it probably was going to actually get for an audience...

What better way to make players use a barely-used spell even less often than to make it even more of a hassle to use effectively. That is certainly a choice! Let's all figure out ways to cripple the usage of Detect Poison while we're at it, LOL!

Why are you all even answering? If the original poster can't be bothered to take 60 seconds to do a google search and receive more than enough information to answer their own question... why are you all wasting your time doing it for them?

Some people need to know this so they have a "legitimate" excuse to get angry at Wizards of the Coast for one more thing they do that does not agree with their beliefs exactly. ;)

Personally I think a large number of spells are ones that could / should be absolutely fine as At-Will magical effects. We already have that with a number of Warlock Invocations, but there's no reason why a lot more spells could just be effects a magic-user could "just do". I mean how often...

I would agree with @Sorinth that the Phantom Rogue would be an excellent choice. The subclass is all about 'walking a fine line between life and death', and thus makes a lot of sense for a character who is taking revenge on the living for their actions resulting in death. But if not the...

I was thinking the Leverage RPG myself. Are you more a Grifter or Hitter type?

Seeing as how if one uses XP for level up, it usually only takes a single session to go from 2nd to 3rd... which means 2nd level isn't a 'dead level', so much as only 'mostly dead'. All you really need is 'True Lov'-- uh... I mean a band of orcs and an ogre or two... and you'll reach 3rd level...

That is a good question... which means we first need to determine what exactly IS magic? Is 'magic' just a universal term for non-physics-based actions, and thus Psionic powers are considered 'magic'... or is it specifically those powers and spells that are powered by The Weave (as defined by...

Have we given up on the central premise of the thread that EN World needs to liberate Dungeons & Dragons from Hasbro? I think that's where we really should be taking things... start setting up and planning a Mission: Impossible-style heist into the Wizards of the Coast offices in Renton to grab...

Now the real question is whether @MichaelSomething will return to this thread to actually respond to some of the people who replied to them about their post... or was this your standard silly "trooth bomm!" post that will result in 50 pages of other people getting into ridiculous arguments with...

True. But as more than enough people had already made cases for how the wording worked and no one was able to come to any agreement... adding additional voices to both sides of an ambiguous rule is pointless. Thus the next practical question becomes whether there is any reason why someone...

I'm not going to bother arguing the actual wording of the two features as people have done this enough. Instead, I will argue about the following-- does the weapon-using Sorcerer become overpowered by having the possibility of twice per day making all their weapon attacks for 1 minute have...

As an avid "Variant Ability Score" DM since the beginning of 5E14... more often than not a lot of the weaknesses that many people seem to have with the skill system I've been able to ameliorate by opening up when they could be used. Like you mentioned above with the potential use of a Charisma...
