So the "current" timeline is going to stay in the 1400's and not revert back to the 1300's? Thats a bummer, I really want the awesome Khelben alive again, and Halaster as well, roaming the halls of his sinister dungeon and playing with his magical cheesboard. For Piergeiron to be the Open Lord...

I for one welcome our new multiversal overlords.

That was my point though, the morningstar is not 2d4, the mace is not 1d6+1. Having a 2d6 weapon is ridiculous, it doesnt follow the same pattern as anything else on the weapon list, and 2d6 is an upgrade over 1d12. Then again, I have no problem with flavor (and potentially damage type) being...

Only change I really want to see: Greatsword and Maul do 1d12 damage

It's funny, literally everything you listed, with the exception of #13, is a reason I'm looking forward to 5E. Then again I've always been of the mindset that verisimilitude > "balance"

So basically Haley Starshine is actually a viable character in 5E. This is a good thing.

Maybe there will be a classic spellcasting module, I would buy that.

Yes actually, we were doing a playtest around 15th level and had a near TPK on the 4th encounter of the day. Experienced players, experienced DM, and the mage and cleric both used their spells wisely and hadn't "gone nova" or anything. Only the rogue made it out, quaffed a potion of invisibility...

I know it is unlikely that the spells per day table for mages, clerics, and druids will change at the point, but I'm not a fan of them, and here is why. The reasons are twofold, firstly, and honestly, is because I have been playing since 2E I am preconditioned to think that high level...

My List: 10. Birthright 9. Mystara 8. Al-Qadim 7. Eberron 6. Dark Sun 5. Greyhawk 4. Ravenloft 3. Dragonlance 2. Planescape 1. Forgotten Realms

I had a 2E Elf Fighter/Mage/Thief character (my first D&D character) who eventually retired at level 13/13/15 after a decade of on and off play with the party. I used the Armor spell in the beginning, then got some Bracers of Defense AC 5, then Elven Chain +2, and finally some robes that gave...

I always liked the stat based categories in Castles & Crusades for saving throws (though I dont really like the whole prime/non prime thing). Strength: Paralysis, Constriction Dexterity: Breath Weapon, Traps Constitution: Disease, Energy Drain, Poison Intelligence: Arcane Magic, Illusion...

Well said, this sums up my feelings perfectly. The thing is, with all its changes to the lore, mechanics, and "feel" of the game, if 4E had been a smashing success, then we wouldn't be having this conversation right now. Instead Pathfinder, which built upon what came before, took the reigns and...

I honestly don't care if the core rules include Planescape material at all....I just hope we get an updated Planescape Campaign Setting or Box Set. Then again I also hope all references to the Spellplague are completely excised from the FR line (Halaster wakes up and it was all a bad dream), so...

Are you saying Planescape should have never been made, or do we go back further and you are saying Gygax should have never put the Great Wheel diagram in the back of the 1E PHB? Given the editions that actually used it (1E-3E), how much of the planar cosmology is actually baked into the core...

Just because strawberry is the officially supported flavor doesn't mean you cant eat orange, and if people tell you that you are wrong for eating orange then they are wrong. On the other hand, if strawberry is the "official" flavor, has been for decades, and still works perfectly in its role as...

More like...canon because it is good. ;) And I have to agree with Weather Report, the massive setting altering events are usually done poorly, and almost never actually achieve their goal of making the setting "better". I didn't like any of the events you mentioned, although the Time of...

The Great Wheel is my favorite cosmology, and I do rather enjoy Sigil, quirks and all. The massive scope and interconnectedness are actually a big part of what I love about it.

Well that didn't last long. Torment: Tides of Numenera, which broke the record last week for fastest kickstarter project ever to reach $1 million, got it's record broken today by little ole Kristen Bell. The Veronica Mars movie project hit $1 million in under 5 hours and reached its funding...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=wwDWx1cAqP4 I chuckled. Though to be honest we had a bladesinger in one of our 2E campaigns back in the day, the DM enforced his restrictions very well and even added a few of his own (it took him one full round to "activate his...
