That’s a weird timeline ;)

Yep. And also… Would I switch if I thought it’d be just the core set and nothing else. Probably not. Would I switch if I liked it but any portion of my group hated it. Probably not. Would I switch if it came out too soon after the previous edition. Probably not. I might absolutely love...

One reason to buy big name anything at big name prices is you can expect continued albeit not free support. Another is the networking effect. There’s also usually a decent quality and compatibility standard. Those without that big guy logo can be all over the map in terms of quality, some...

I voted. But also Not sure how it’s not relevant seeing as it’s part of the very premise of the thread question.

It’s a bit loaded saying 2024 wasn’t innovative.

Don’t be giving bards a bad name!

I’m afraid that in practice this mostly becomes a defacto caster buff.

Why not? Serious question?

So what we are saying is all social media is a scam to steal everyone’s ideas… not surprised one bit! I always knew they were out to get me.

One other benefit of bonus action buff potions for combat is that they are a long term resource that players can use to get out of bad situations while having an appreciable cost to them. Essentially they are a lever that can be pulled when to much is thrown at them, but a lever with a cost...

They still had an out of combat use.

The point is the wizard isn’t sacrificing action economy for it when it’s needed but the monk is.

1. I dont assume elven accuracy is an allowed feat with 2024 options. It certainly isn’t at my table. 2. At actual tables there’s usually not a great chance you can craft or acquire specific magic items. The ranger MC is good but it’s hard to find the dead levels on the fighter to slow the...

Thrown weapons are much too short of range imo. Also I think the ranged at will push is as good as wrathful smite, but it’s certainly a trade. Wrathful still requires a hit and a failed save to cause the fear. I’d suggest considering thrown weapons as the backup for when you really want...

I think you still need the free hand to load them?

I view it as an investment into a continuing ecosystem. If it goes away quickly it was a poor investment. I like new content and options ever so often. 5e pace was about right, just a tad slow for me.

I meant in terms of not being a commercial success because of its similarity to 5e. I guess people including myself don’t penny pinch as much as I believe. I bought it despite the similarity and not initially being a fan of most of the changes. Thus the initial reservations.

I initially had reservations. The new system was too similar. But those reservations have mostly passed. Mostly because there seems to be enough adoption despite those things. The similarity probably helps more people stick with it, instead of either liking it or 5e much better and ultimately...

This is likely true. Most of the people doing it aren’t just picking on poor Hasbro though. They’d take any corporate statement with the same grain of salt. At least IMO.

Okay. I can see where you’re coming from but I think that’s just how cynical people talk. Standard spin is spinning the crap out of to us.
