the way I handle that not being anal or OCD and often allowing things before I think it through is if necessary give the other players something to bring parity. God granted abilities, a relic, the right magic item etc. I try to keep all the players at a point that they can feel they are the...

who were free but couldn't get married, have kids? I think Jedi were far from Free. ;)

Yes but a lot of times for those of us who don't care it doesn't come up till a player pulls out a book and says "I like this better" then you house rule. nothing requires you to actually think about it first.

both parties in the US election require undecided voters in undecided states to win and they are both in the process of doubling down trying to make the screaming people on thier bases happy instead of pulling to the undecided centrists who will determine the election. Yes I do think they...

I like making spells like wish or clone, require mythical components.

deleted responded to wrong post.

a lot of it is always going to rely on context. I've been lucky enough to play some years long campaigns and run some years long campaigns. I"ve had months where I personally had non buy in, didn't like the story or any of the hooks and was just going along to let other party members get...

Though I'd prefer to let subclass wizards get more spells of their subclass and take away other higher level spells or even whole schools more like 2nd edition did. . You want to be a great divination wizard maybe all the spells from some other school aren't available. I'd make cantrips exempt...

I wouldn't have a problem with that as a table rule. seems reasonable.

captain kobold was the one that posted he thought mages should only get two a level then gamma doodler chimed in they can only cast that many anyway.... My argument was basically in agreement DM should be handing out spells as treasure.

it means you are a one trick pony with one set of spells and no flexibility. Played that way a Sorcerer will have more flexibility and utility if you are going to do that just remove the mage as an option and only allow sorcerer's. A mage is all about Utility. low spell choice makes you a...

too lenient? a mage with only two spells per level is miserable to play.

overgeeked is right. I've played a few times with people over the years who think the point is to be utterly focused and absorb everything that everybody else does. Those guys are a pain in the ass and suck fun out of the room. It's ok to be bored and zone out when someone is concocting...

Some people have a hard time finding activities to do with other adults and they'd rather play a game they may not be completely into, with other people they like because it's better than the option of netflix.

and DM giving them spells as they progress, whether that's letting them buy them or finding them. otherwise they tend to not have what they need when they need it.

it's all variables from the DM side of the table. With different classes and different abilities the DM has to control the magical item supply and dm specials etc etc. But with current D&D rules if your DM ignores magic items, or just generate random ones instead of planning them for your...

And if you go look through my posts you'll see that spells are the one thing I've argued needs to be completely reworked after nearly 50 year's of Ad-Hoc naughty word. But what I get from your response is you want a rule book just to give fighters a similar experience to looking through all the...

because it's supposed to have a DM controlling all the details, instead of being a micromanaged game with 7 or 8 full rule books telling you what to do in every concievable situation.

Batman vs Superman was normal human with a lifetime of extraordinary training and unlimited supertech that was developed in part by reverse engineering advanced alien including kryptonian technology. Don't think I'd call that normal person versus god which is pretty much what superman equates...

how about not limiting either gives you more options?
