Meh, I don't want to derail the thread, disregard.

You want to link me to a quote where they say that?

I find it humorous that immediately above your comment, Zaran's dislike is that spellcaster's are weak. :P

To be honest though, it seems ridiculous to want Unearthed Arcana when the book is called "Dungeon Master's Guide."

Are you the one that's serious? A single two page spread on firearms and alien technology and a HUNDRED pages of magic items, not to mention the 400 or so spells in the players handbook, and you're complaining that there's too much technology and not enough magic? This is absurd.

Uh, we don't even have the DM's guide. It seems that they aren't even done making the game itself yet, so why should digital tools be out already?

I would rule that they would get the opportunity attack, and I think it would be fine to give the Xorn some sort of cover, but I also think it would be fine if he didn't get it as well. My thought is that burrowing into the ground takes concentration and effort above and beyond being able to...

I use an iPad with Evernote typically. I write up my adventures on my computer at home, and use the sync feature to bring the adventure along with me wherever. I used to use it for its Pathfinder apps as well, but now I have to carry the books around with me for 5E.

If you're fighting the Tarrasque and it manages to destroy a city, you've lost regardless if you kill it or not.

A six player party at 10th level can fight an Ancient Black dragon as a deadly encounter, but not insurmountable encounter. Just by the math, it does seem that the Tarrasque is around a 30, simply because of its armor class and sheer damage outdoes absolutely every other creature by a large margin.

You are correct, criticism is certainly warranted and should be put against the book. But when you post 9 times in three threads about how lazy the designers are and how disappointed you are, it starts becoming more of a pattern. You should be allowed to criticize, of course, but your criticism...

If you really think that's true, you clearly think very little of the development process. Here's a tip: the art departments and the writing departments are typically separate. The writers put in all of their material, the art department puts in their material, and the layout editor puts it all...

Uh, if they didn't have the pictures, the book would simply be smaller. The pictures aren't forcing out more content.

Do you expect everyone buying this book to already own the 1ed DMs guide? They put all of this stuff back in here for a reason, and I think if you go back and read the original books, the descriptions and text are very much different in both that one and this one. Complaining about them having...

Attunement, Ring of Resistance is new, new charging mechanics for magic items, new rarity system, lower bonus cap for armor and weapons, we haven't seen crafting mechanics so no need to make a judgement on that yet, new abilities and uses for the figurines, new recharge mechanics for the...

This is a classic case of damned if you do, damned if you don't. If they had admitted these artifacts or changed them significantly, they would have been raked over the coals for straying too far from the original. Just look at how hard 4e got hit in the gaming world for doing this. But now...

Would you say the same about the classes in the Player's Handbook? Or the system as a whole? Or the monsters in the Monster Manual? Everything about this edition of Dungeons and Dragons is about hearkening back to the original D&D. Remember, that edition came out 40 years ago. The vast majority...

Yeah sorry about the overly slathered on sarcasm, but I really think it's such a minor detail, there's not really any point to talk about it. Besides, as far as I've seen there's only 2 errors in the Player's Handbook that I've seen, and none that I've seen in the Monster Manual, so I'm pretty...

Small oversight on a playful cover up made in their spare time? Must mean the book itself has bad editing! /s

"One good hit from a +3 magic weapon is sufficient to destroy an orb" Looks that that's a decent confirmation for how powerful magic weapons can get.
