    D&D General Mike Mearls says control spells are ruining 5th Edition

    I’d wager most people are not that interested in high level play, or there would be more demand for it. That also explains why there are few adventures for it (that, and most high level adventures suck) Even if it is just that things fall apart before most groups reach level 15, that still...

    D&D General Mike Mearls says control spells are ruining 5th Edition

    given that most adventures end around level 12, that does not appear to be an issue

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    and those relatives are mentioned in the official lore? If not, why can’t you have some for a dragonborn too?

    D&D 5E (2024) Is 5E better because of Crawford and Perkins leaving?

    and I disagree how extensive, your group? That is called anecdotal. Also, have you tried that with truly / intentionally unbalanced games? at which point whoever needs to feel superior to enjoy the game might not be in a position to, but yeah, I am certainly not going to play X so someone who...

    D&D 5E (2024) Is 5E better because of Crawford and Perkins leaving?

    if using a d10 instead of a d8 or adding a + to something is a mechanic, then everything is a mechanic. In that case, yeah so what, tweak the mechanics to achieve balance. Balance is more important than some unsocialized jerks being able to feel superior because they could bully others into...

    D&D 5E (2024) Is 5E better because of Crawford and Perkins leaving?

    balance is independent, you can increase the bonuses, add feats or whatever to a class, and if that needs new mechanics, add ones that thematically work for it and there is nothing that convinces me that someone who wrote that it is good to cater to people who is right about what is a...

    D&D 5E (2024) Is 5E better because of Crawford and Perkins leaving?

    no it isn’t, especially since balance is kinda independent from mechanics and a thematically well designed class

    D&D General Mike Mearls says control spells are ruining 5th Edition

    agreed, which means it probably is less acceptable for a sword than for a more complex and less reliable weapon like an early gun, and yet no one complained about the chance of rolling a 1 per round increasing with your number of attacks, but somehow for a gun that is a problem

    D&D 5E (2024) Is 5E better because of Crawford and Perkins leaving?

    are there people who want to be worse than others (rather than just willing to ‘work through’ as you said) ? Otherwise those people get their wish to the detriment of everyone else What if they are not the only one in their group with that attitude?

    D&D General Mike Mearls says control spells are ruining 5th Edition

    yes, but the chance of misfire is for the gun. You use it more, you misfire more yes, because the chance of misfire is tied to the gun, not their skill level Same as rolling a 1 on a d20, the more often you roll, the more often it will come up, even though you get more skilled with your sword...

    D&D 5E (2024) Is 5E better because of Crawford and Perkins leaving?

    not a fan of 2024, whether them leaving was a good thing will depend on what the new guys create though. Probably will have to wait for 6e though, 2024 has set an example for the next years / supplements, unfortunately Overall I am much more in line with what Mearls is working on than what...

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

    I assume the difference is the $5 that DDB makes, so MHP still makes about the same for PDF or DDB either way

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

    agreed, but the core rulebook sells hundreds of thousands on DDB, not a handful of thousands.

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    I am not seeing the difference, you make stuff up whether Greenest is a dragonborn community or not. The only difference is how many other dragonborn are among the acquaintances of your character. Why can your dragonborn only have a generic history because they live in a village with few other...

    I am not sure I would let anyone in that apparently is incapable of getting in when they threaten me and drag around dead bodies. Seems safer to not let those people in…

    and your dragonborn family can have lived in Greenest for generations and have local contacts. and history in that place… the only one stopping you here seems to be you

    and they sell more than three times what others do, so those costs are distributed over a much larger number of sales, making the cost per unit lower than that of others, which is reflected in their 40% profit margin

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    I never cared much for FR, I would not mind a new setting where all the species are incorporated in its history and have a place in the world

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    yeah, it is if you feel like they all need to have a specific location they are from, they could also be mixed in like that too For the FR, it probably is too much of a retcon to start having nations of whatever species recently popped up. Not sure how you determine whether a species does make...

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

    Are you saying WotC is 3 times as good at making supplements as anyone else? I am pretty sure there are many people who disagree with that, and it is also not reflected in their full book print or digital prices... If not, then this is entirely in the eye of the beholder, with no comparison to...
