Call it "most successful strategy" then.

That would be a cool twist.

If the Realms doesn't exist in your universe, you don't even have to file off the serial numbers and change the coins. DM: As you approach the city, 6 Purple Dragon Knights ride out to meet you. Player(s): Aren't those from the FR? DM: The FR doesn't exist in my game, but I like the Purple...

100%. Even if you don't find it useful for your setting, someone out there will. There's nothing in that book that can't be pulled out for use somewhere else. Hell, they can even keep the FR names, since their world isn't FR and FR doesn't have to exist in their multiverse. I don't think FR...

My campaigns pretty much all have the dungeons appear in them at times. By dungeon I mean castle/ruin/cavern complex/tomb/whatever with rooms and you adventure through. As for dragons, those are rare, and usually at a minimum of adult in age when they do appear. I don't believe in...

I think the point is that if something is about Hellgate Keep, a FR specific location, it's pretty easy to rename it the Pit of Despair in your world and use it. What makes it FR is the FR specific lore. What makes all that usable is that it's just words, so change a few of them and it works...

Okay? My point is that the MC was my favorite because it was both. And it was.

It's both. I had several setting specific page sets in mine.

Or I can just ban the few spells don't don't work for me.

That's why I'd love to see it replaced with fun abilities used 3x day, like the monster rips the magic from you and wraps it around himself, gaining +3 AC for 2 rounds. And other things like that.

Huh. Having not switched to 5.5e, I didn't realize that healing had been buffed. I thought the whole point of increasing monster damage was to bring them more in line as level appropriate challenges so that folks didn't have to throw deadly+++ encounters at the party to challenge the PCs.

I honestly get where folks like you are coming from, but personally it just never bothered me past a small disappointment that the new stuff wasn't that useful to me. That's my main beef with the 5e setting lore. There isn't nearly as much of it as was crammed into the 3e Forgotten Realms...

The math didn't change. 5.5e only made minor changes to things in order to keep backwards compatibility, so the base problems of 5e are still present. So yes, he can be talking about 5.5e as well.

Damage was also much lower in 1e and 2e. 3e brought in an increase in damage and hit points.

It's limited, where MR/SR was not. It's 3 times spread out over the entire party. With MR/SR, the entire party can be hit by it every round for the entire fight if they are all casting spells.

You need to get out more. Just google large flat plains and look at all the different pretty pictures of very flat land for miles. Um. A metric crapton of DMs use them. In addition to getting out more, you need to learn what a Strawman is. What I said ain't it.
