I take on it, is that going into the wild is just a high Survival skill. And a lot of what I see people wanting a magic-less ranger to do sounds an awful lot like magic to me. Talking birds and animals into scouting for you? How is that not magic? I guess what I’m saying @Emberashh, is that I...

I chose Spellcasting. Rangers have had magic in some form or other for so long, I feel like it’s part of their identity. And, although I hate to be the first to say it, you all know someone is going to: If I wanted a Magic-less Ranger, I can easily do so with a Fighter with the right...

Well, maybe because we all don't agree on how utterly terrible it is? Either way, if you did want to add something to the two-handed version, it would have to be equally simple. Add +1 damage to Critical Hits when used Two-handed. There. At the very least, it would have to be always-on...

Other people have pointed this out, but I think you and others are missing the point. Sometimes simple (ie. boring) is a strength all on it's own. Mechanically, it's not as strong as some others. But there is a huge advantage to having an always-on ability you don't have to think about. Two...

What are you planning to replace it with for Fighters and such?

I’m so happy to hear about weapon masteries. It’s been my favourite thing in the playtests so far, and as someone who tends towards martial classes, I can’t wait to take them for a spin.

Hasbro put up a large chunk of the budget. I don’t remember the exact figure right now, but it was a t least half.

I didn’t even realize it was a specific property. I thought it was just the campaign description. Oh well, I’m sure my thoughts were boring anyway…:)

Definitely would be an interesting take. In fact, I’ve seen at least one movie that was basically that exact plot (name withheld due to spoilers).

Why are you so sure they would be judged by the actions of their past lives? The people they were are long dead and buried. It’s not like they’re the same people, but with amnesia or something. With that scenario, you could get some traction. If the past lives are truly dead, and the people...

Based on someone else’s home brew character sheet based on those rules, it seems I may have changed the number of checkboxes. No idea which version is closer to Baduin’s. True20/MM Static Toughness, Roll Damage

I posted this to your message on RPG.net, and I’m adding it here in case anyone else was interested. I do have a version of what I think was the rules you are talking about. However, I dug this out of an email I sent to my players in 2007, so I’m not sure if this is the original Baduin rules...

Alright. I still question how you're sure they represent most groups. But I think we're at an 'agree to disagree' point. Thanks for taking the time to explain your point, though. I do appreciate it.

It reflects how you are playing the game. I still maintain that if a group is using the official milestone rules in one of the published adventures, it's no guarantee. We might have been able to do it in SKT if we bee-lined for what turned out to be a milestone. But we ended up splitting our...

That of course works, but it goes contrary to official adventure Milestone guidelines. They quite clearly state that the party gets to level up once they achieve a certain objective, or reach a specific moment in the story. The DM can of course add in as many encounters they want, and throw...

All well and good. However there’s been a move away from XP levelling to milestone. Which changes things around dramatically. When doing SKT (for example), I swear we wandered all over the place and probably spent way more time in between milestones than if we had been following the plot more...

We definitely couldn’t do 4 encounters a night. Like I said, we only got 2 hours. Add in role-playing, exploration, and general non-combat story, and we were lucky to get in two. And we certainly couldn’t count on playing every week. We did our best, but there were just weeks when life got...

Just wanted to pop in and say that 5e campaigns can definitely last years. In the campaign where I was the non-magical fighter, we started at level one (with Phandelver) and made it to level 11 (near the end of SKT) when we stopped. And it was at least 18 months. We're all adults with...

Also, this is really between him and his DM. I really doubt any conclusion this message board comes to will change anything. I highly doubt the DM is going to take our opinions into account…

Why would it? The fact that someone was once a good guy, doesn’t change the fact he is currently a villain. No one gets a pass based on who they used to be. They’re judged on their current acts.
