I don't relate it to all the other things I enjoy, just whether or not I enjoy it at that time. I'm not thinking of other movies I'm thinking of that single movie and whether or not I enjoyed it.

That's largely how my rating system works, a simple Terrible, Bad, Alright, Good, Amazing scale based on what is in front of me. If it's good or amazing I'm probably telling others to check it out. Terrible means (in regard to movies) that I didn't finish it.

From memory, they had a lot of abilities. I think they showed up in 3e with a large level adjustment.

I've stopped having clerics of a god and instead have clerics of a faith, like you'll follow the Olympians instead of Ares. If you're a priest of a god then in reality you are simply in charge of a temple dedicated to that god, performing rituals and probably not adventuring.

I disagree, I never rate movies in relation to another movie, the only rating I give a movie is my enjoyment of it. The only time I rate movies against another is if someone asks something like "how would you compare the new superman movie against other superman movies".

I'm no opinion since I haven't had a good look through the books and only have the online srd stuff available. From the playtests it was clearly heading in a direction I didn't like so I've no intention of buying it. I might play it in the future because I like gaming with friends and that's...

I'd probably have the HD affect hp just as you've mentioned. I'd like others to be able to sacrifice HD for the caster (evil casters sacrifice slaves or prisoners). Maybe have a critical mass that allows a much large area for a spell like bless as well as a long duration. I think I'd want blood...

I do like how unearthed arcana became the title of new rules and variants, even used in 5e for the playtest documents of new content.

I'd forgotten about the rolling they came up with. Do you want to play a paladin? Roll 9d6 for charisma, 8d6 for strength, etc to ensure that you get the required stats. something like that right? When I had friends that wanted to play something with ability score requirements, I normally just...

I had to look up the name, but as soon as I saw the actor I was all "Yes!" Shran was an awesome character.

With the responses to this thread, I kind of feel like that might be the situation with me. I think I've seen a few posts in other threads here that have made me think that it wasn't well received. I can understand not all of it really working, but when I read it I didn't think it was terrible.

This could be quite cool, even if it was a single season I think it would be a fun watch. I feel like I'm one of only dozens that liked Enterprise, would be great to see Archer return.

I oscillate between preferring NPCs (as in other humanoid wizards, fighters, paladins, etc) to be built like PCs and to be built like monsters. With all of the abilities, building them like a monster and not worrying too much about class level is definitely much easier, but I prefer that some...

I'd forgotten that comeliness was a thing in UA, I think I saw that and opted against porting it into my 2e games. Back when we played ADnD since it was 2e we just used the 2e classes and level limits, but thinking about it now, it seems weird to be so restricted, bring on those halfling druids...

I wonder if that's the difference, I was reading it when I was a teenager and thought it brought in some cool ideas.

Just out of curiosity, something I see mentioned from time to time was that unearthed arcana was considered bad or unusable. I remember reading it back in the 90s and liking some stuff about it, but I never used it in 2e (which I was playing at the time). I probably didn't have as critical an...

That's not quite how I read the OP, but I might be wrong.

It might not say it in current DnD, but it's fairly common in fiction that people need the spark of magic before unlocking the ability to make use of it.

I make no distinction between wizard and sorcerer, both need inborn power in the fiction. Warlocks borrow power.

Yeah, DnD faiths and pantheons are a little weird since, while the common people might worship the pantheon, clerics have been shoehorned into worshiping a very specific god, often forsaking the others. I think also the pantheons often don't feel like one, the forgotten realms pantheon just...
