    D&D 5E What Makes 5E "5E"?

    AI is if nothing else incredibly fast at that kind of thing. You can even define design goals, critique existing things in terms of those goals and give it something new and get an analysis in terms of your established patterns very much about following your lead. You can use others analysis of...

    D&D 5E What Makes 5E "5E"?

    I just found 2e to be way too close to just 1e with minor tweaks at the time and 3e really did seem to do a structural over haul.

    D&D 5E What Makes 5E "5E"?

    Tell me how often that is useful and interesting in a story that is? I mean when does it ever come up in D&D and tell me how much grander their constitution is wait nope its not particularly any better (esp if the caster is defending that concentration) and how much are you betting the DM...

    D&D 5E What Makes 5E "5E"?

    In general 5e is careless design (and cannot even blame huge amounts of products being produced this is 1 book) heavily favoring casters (even just doubling nearly your entire inventory of spells is insane - the army part is gravy on the goose and is not doing any thing particularly tricky...

    D&D 5E What Makes 5E "5E"?

    Well casters get to be superheroes anyway like creating an army of simulacrum. Fighter is usually just the guy from the gym who college athletes can jump farther than ...not even Beowulf let alone Cu Chulaine. But at high level you can hit it one more time. Totally the same.

    Elon Musk Calls for Wizards of the Coast to "Burn in Hell" Over Making of Original D&D Passages

    I cannot point at a source but I have read he indicated when he couldn't get his daughter involved in D&D he felt the game was for boys. (insert reasons/excuses that most would not consider valid). I recall the cursed magic item that changed your gender... apparently instead of a tool/blessing...

    Elon Musk Calls for Wizards of the Coast to "Burn in Hell" Over Making of Original D&D Passages

    LOL... evolving terms though if they were using explicit language instead of hinting. They called that Male Chauvinist Pig in Gygaxes prime ... and Misogynist today

    D&D 5E The Fighter/Martial Problem (In Depth Ponderings)

    And a level 1 4e fighter does many things you cannot do with that till level 18... and its abilities are in conflict with things which should be built on top of the design is patch work and bad. Shrug I can see reasons for not playing it that are unrelated to the fantasy. A 4e fighter can with...

    D&D 4E D&D 4e Help me with my CBLoader

    I sent a message with the latest instructions on installing the CBLoader if you have issues The 4e Discord folk generally seem happy to help (some of them have been making sure the data is as accurate as it can be too). There is quite a selection of custom part files for that homebrew urge.

    D&D General Reassesing Robert E Howards influence on D&D +

    The spell system did "sort of" that does not mean the Vances stories had wish spells ,magic jar, lightning and fire balls or Leomunds tiny hut. Nor that any casters in Cudgels story ever had the ability to cast the number of spells a D&D caster did. Re-minding ones self of a spell did not...

    D&D General What does the mundane high level fighter look like? [+]

    I made a martial practice that was analogous to certain rituals (Run it off soldier), athletics to remove afflictions and some other long term effects normally only removable by ritual. A martial trained in diplomacy skill can induce this one in others too by coaching them through it.

    D&D General What does the mundane high level fighter look like? [+]

    Sure but as the fighter levels and even right away if the dm ignores some marks and similar things (i think he should), but in general after even moderate levels that fighter may be striker (in the optimizing community he is often considered such). Just saying there is nuance to that. Other...

    D&D 5E Should martial characters be mundane or supernatural?

    the 1e thief was so lame it was trivial to find less dangerous ways to accomplish its forte ... the rogue replacing it was a good thing in my opinion. We had a yellow notebook with boring as hell procedures a number of which were how do we not let the theif do his tricks. It was about being...

    D&D 5E Should martial characters be mundane or supernatural?

    Burst capacity would be determined by an athletics skill or ability check vs a DC not by carrying capacity *but yes you can call it fubar and I wont exactly refute that LOL.
