They get referenced a lot but make some strange assumptions or biss obvious things sometimes. Theres 3 goes ones you generally compare notes between them and figure it out.

Most damage builds thats somewhat useful. Its objective. Best control for example is a bit more subjective or situational.

The high level stuff?

Hommlet. One in 10000 huh?

This thread could be interesting. Resident powergamer has talked about it conceptually due to new feats in Hunger and PGtF.

If 5.5 came out 2014 I would probably be saying its one of the greatest editions ever. But it didnt. They're getting close. Theres enough there one could use it to duplicate 3E, 4E or a modern simple system like Shadowdark if one was willing to do extensive rewrites. Like 2E backwards...

5E setting is FR.

5.0 it was 14.5 iirc Not sure if 5.5 is higher. If it is its not by much. Not much had an AC over 19 and I used Marilith, Balors and an adult black dragon.

I've only read bits online and absorb bits off YouTube. Looks decent generally.

Ah you said general books. A lot of 3E FR books are specific with their themes. I own a lot of them. 3E had a lot of flaws. The quality of the FR books wasn't one of them. I've started digging into earlier FR product for comparison.

People wouldnt accept a 6R yet. 5.5 is a cheeseburger with extra onions. I'm expecting them to sell less. Could be wrong. Eventually people will want a steak and egg burger (or whatever) but not a pizza or cheeseburger flavored pizza (they exist btw). Other problem is D&D beyond...

If people want to buy oatmeal sell them oatmeal. Its the old cheeseburger thing. I want a cheese burger."how about a nice pizza" "Cheeseburger" "I'll put pineapple on the pizza" "Cheeseburger" How about this steak "Cheeseburger " "I'll put peppercorn sauce on the steak" "F sake give me a...

Wasn't so much that. WotC is constrained by the reality of making a commercial product. D&D tropes matter to D&D fans. Probably 4E crowd weaponized moderators and built themselves a bubble that popped the hard way 2012. People like what they like. WotC essentially had to ebuimd the game...

The bars fairly low. The only other 1 is 4E.

One of my players likes Laezel for that reason. Got a laugh from the women.

Yeah pretty much. I wouldn't date any of them irl Karlach maybe but metal and horns aren't appealing.

Karlachs not the most attractive in terms of conventional but she's nice. Like a big puppy. People thirsting after her start at big muscle momma and it goes downhill from there. Most of them are victims to some extent. If they were honest and on dating apps you would swipe left on all of...

They're probably the most popular. Shadowhearts the conventionally attractive one, karlachs the conventionally nice one and Asterions the edgy naughty word. Laezels probably next and the rest popularity drop off a cliff after that. They also get a lot of the best lines in the game bantering with...

Ive mentioned SR and MR more tgan once. And I was the one who pointed out greater magic resistance earlier. I quite like the mechanic. Its only on one creature. I'm happy to nukes control spells into the ground tbh. Fine on mooks, bosses not so much.

Yeah 5.5 take tashas mindwhip. Add sorcerer and twin+heighten spell. Easy mode rest of game.
