Scale up the level and watch the disaster that occurs into &: through sayy tier 3 when that warlock gets to push the fifth level button over and over and over again while the monk generally has more ki than they could use on that cycle. They didn't fix the design problem and did nothing about...

That bold bit of internet wisdom being endlessly repeated just exacerbates the problem when players feel their monk or warlock requires a short rest after every fight come hell or high water no matter the doom clock stakes knowingly being lit on fire by those unreasonable expectations. That...

No you fail to meet the bar or moving your subjective table experience to objective discussion of the rules. The original claim was that the failure to wrench the malicious compliance ADEU based short rest warlock and monk over to the attrition based adventuring day model while failing to...

I went looking for the exact text of the new resting rules on my phone to show ho your claim is mistaken or flatly weong.and realized that it's not needed because you have a higher bar to meet for your claim to be anything but anecdotal at best..when players start acting like this there's not...

You missed the point. Players get to FORCE 5mwd loop gameplay on an unsupported gm because some folks liked 4e's At will Daily Encounter Universal. It's practically malicious compliance with the attrition based model at the system level from a designer. The new edition failed at both fitting...

The new NOVA->LETSTAKEASHORTREST->REPEAT monk & warlock continuing the 2014 effort of forcing ADEU class design into an adventuring day attrition based game without correcting the rest rules to support the GM when players feel they are entitled to an ADEU based 5mwd loop is one of biggest...

The bolded "So I guess this particular DM didn't want to spend any extra money on the campaign." Bit comes off rather judgemental of the GM and completely overlooks the fact that it could apply equally to any of the players who have spent nothing but could have. Change it to almost anything...

Have you seen any actual details about what wotc is calling a "campaign framework" or is this just speculation? That's a serious question because I don't know haven't seen any definition and don't feel the term says anything specific enough to guess.

That's quite the phrasing about the GM's role in a game.

What exactly is a "campaign framework"? That sounds like it could be anything from mechanical crunch to fit the baseline needs of particular campaign styles and themes to madlib style adventure seed skeletons.

There is a difference between fixing things and very slightly altering the wording in a thing in such a way that it is pretty much functionally identical in play. Even if one considers that deck chair rearrangement to be "fixed", it's not to a degree that justifies dropping the money on 3 new...

That's not a good reason for anyone to go buy them. In fact it's literally the problem TSR created for themselves by publishing an endless stream of pointless books few needed or wanted. Pathfinder got dubbed 3.75 because it provided significant improvements to the core without being a totally...

The ogl fiasco badly derailed the playtesting and did a lot of damage to the idea of meaningful change as opposed to "[many people] recognize there is serious problems with this that and the other section of the rules but some people think that the problem is fun so we decided to split the baby...

Either darkness is a thing to consider plan for and engage with or there is a fairly mundane item that effectively deletes those rules and everything they add to the game even more brazenly than "I've got dark vision [and we both know that the relevant rules are a waste of ink so I'm going to be...

I tried similar hoping to head off "ZOMGBADWRONGFUNIHAVEDARKVISION!!!" with some players who started with 5e when I tried to introduce meaningful light rules but the end result was less willingness to keep half way and more outraged resistance woven with loophole seeking for the sake of the...

Wanted to proactively address this before someone fires shots at it. Usually I see those knee jerk banning statements from folks who just blast with it before even asking what I was thinking of playing or finding out the answer would usually have been something like a wizard from Thay or...

I've seen more than one player spout that toxic line from 4e at my eberron tables. Unsurprisingly they tend to be the GM's most likely to be upset at the mere idea of allowing a warforge PC artificer PC or PC with eberron lore at their FR table in my experience. A place, not the same place...

Turn it around and consider why FR GM's don't like players showing up with a warforged artificer tied to one of the dragon marked houses, The Last War and elements from a continent that exists in a totally different setting. It's disruptive when the GM needs to say "Nonono back up. All of that...

It's because the important part is something completely unrelated to the fey ancestry. The Dhakaanii empire is the important point. The fey realm ancestry in relation to goblinoids of eberron(khorvaire even moreso) is about the same bad fit as it would be to focus a summary of Americans and...
