    Why is Con so useless?

    In 5E, the stated goal is to make ability scores count more. If that's the case, then we are going to have a problem with con. The other 5 scores represent things you can actively do, but Con is completely passive. Let me lay out an example. The group needs to get into the mayor's house. The...

    Would you get behind Race levels?

    So there is talk about making Race an equal part of your character. They have also let us know that there will now be Themes in addition to Race and Class. In the situation I imagine, not based on any facts, I saw Theme as being something that goes up in level consecutively with Class and of...

    Let us shine.

    A problem with 4E is that all characters were equal. Totally, totally equal. A problem with 3.X is that some characters could dominate. Give me a system where each character has their chance to shine in their own environment, but nobody dominates. It's nice to just be able to say sometimes...

More than just naming a town, but drawing the borders of countries, maybe making new gods/pantheons, perhaps creating or removing races and changing the...

    30 and out?

    Let me first say that I am positive that 5E will allow you to play either way, but what should the default be? Do you like and think we should hold onto a targeted end for a campaign? 30 and out, although it might be 20 or 40 in 5E. Personally I like the planned end. Without it, some campaigns...

    Teach me to fish, dammit!

    I've been reading a lot of these threads and come to a conclusion. A lot of people only want such and so races, drop the the races I hate. Others love that race. They added draconians, after all, as a response to how badly people wanted to play a dragonish character from 1st level. Same for...
