    D&D 5E (2024) So the Armorer still need be Wearing before Don his armor.

    I think the intent is clear, even if the wording is off. Once it is arcane armour you can don/doff as it as an action.

    TSR On the Relative Merits of the TSR Editions

    I think nowadays I'd probably stick to side initiative, one roll. Maybe use the order of actions from BECMI but since it doesn't really affect anything, probably just let people do things in whatever order they want on their turn.

    TSR On the Relative Merits of the TSR Editions

    I think as long as all the other modifiers are being used (weapon speed, various misc modifiers) then it isn't actually too bad (though I recall a halfling thief that eviscerated a powerful wizard who couldn't get a spell off due to the speed of his daggers).

    TSR On the Relative Merits of the TSR Editions

    I think it's better to strip out percentile strength as a bonus only for warriors with 18 strength and instead make "percentile strength" a sort of training warriors have no matter their strength. A warrior with 14/76 strength would gain a +1 bonus to hit and +3 damage which makes warriors of...

    TSR On the Relative Merits of the TSR Editions

    When you add in all the extra bits, it can significantly increase the time it takes to create a new PC, but the good thing about 2e is that you don't need to have things like proficiencies or class kits, though I'd still grant the fighter specialisation even if I wasn't using weapon proficiencies.

    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

    Oh yeah, for sure. I'm just saying what works for me, if epub works for you then that's all good.

    Who Should Gal Gadot Play In The New DCU?

    Momoa was a great Aquaman, I enjoyed both of his movies.

    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

    Pretty much as @Reynard said. Like I said, I love epub for novels, but I have one or two books that were about fantasy map making and I found that epub just sucks for usability.

    D&D General ENWorld is better that the pundits…change my mind

    Yeah, I think the vast majority of players just want to pick a character they like and don't really care about optimising or seeking out synergies with the group, they're there to have fun and if they end up with a party of dwarf fighters and a halfling thief then they'll run with that.

    Who Should Gal Gadot Play In The New DCU?

    You don't have to look strong, but I think ot works better for wonder woman, a literal warrior woman. Gal was model thin, really didn't suit the look to me.

    Who Should Gal Gadot Play In The New DCU?

    Probably more to do with them rebooting the DCU, they've already replaced superman and people loved Henry Cavill. I can't think of any roles for her, but then I'm not that knowledgeable about DC comics. I'm glad they're recasting wonder woman, hopefully this time it'll be an actress who...

    Why do we need thieves??

    I did briefly remove thieves from my 2e edit, replacing it with a light armoured skirmisher warrior (with the attack and hit dice of warriors), but after creating an expert class based on birthright's guilder, Ive added them back in as a subclass of the expert.

    D&D General Gargoyles need to be redone.

    This sounds cool, and due to my love of the old gargoyles cartoon, I'd like to see something where they're playable.

    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

    I'm the complete opposite, epub is fine for novels but I hate it for rpg books.

    We've been through so many editions it isn't surprising that some things blur together.

    TSR On the Relative Merits of the TSR Editions

    I believe the higher page count was due to layout changes, otherwise the core books were the same content (with some small amount of errata). The custom class rules were definitely in the original 2e book, I remember making classes with it back in the 90s.

    TSR On the Relative Merits of the TSR Editions

    I love the BECMI rules cyclopedia, it's how I first learned how to play DnD and the fact that it's the whole game in one book is awesome (I guess you could say it was missing the immortal rules, but I guess I consider them an add-on rather than a core part of the game). 2e was the second...

    Specific overrides general, in this case, the ability does indeed let you take the dash action as your reaction.

    D&D General ENWorld is better that the pundits…change my mind

    I don't really know what a pundit is, but one reason why I prefer ENworld is that all too often if I'm looking up something that it ends up being people talking about it, as in with a video. I much prefer to read, potentially skimming through an article than having to watch a 20 minute video...

    TSR Why would anyone want to play 1e?

    You're not wrong, once the xp awards moved from xp for gold, it changed the purpose of adventuring. While you could still dungeon delve to gain treasure, it was no longer the reward it used to be which would have led to a change in the purpose of adventures (which might have been seen at the end...
