The key to dark sun is focus on the various groups of power players, intrugue and politics with the occasional gritty fight or war or arena spectacle. I actually wrote Tim Brown at one point when I didn't know how to dm dark sun. He told me to read dune. I think game of thrones and star wars...

The problem with only that option is instead of keeping the masterwork weapon, a player would want to sell it. The +1 to damage option isn't game breaking and fits with the bound accuracy philosophy. Then have it worth more than a normal weapon too.

One option with the vampire charm is to consider friends in the room in danger a reason to allow a save. Also, in general with charms, you could allow players to stay in character and take actions playing up the charm. They could find creative ways to work against their tormentor while still...

The previous thread was interesting, but derailed into a huge debate on stealth rules. So, please keep stealth debates out of this thread. They are endless. Other than that, list problem rules you like to see errata for. If you have an elegant solution for a rule, share that as well.

This thread is way off course. I was finding the posts about 5e rules quirks interesting, but the long back and forth debates about stealth and lava are exhausting. It kills the whole point of the thread.

If the color blind element is true, FFG needs to rethink their dice a little bit though. You think they would of tested that. I personally am a big fan of the saga system WOTC did. WEG's original was amazing too. EotE I'm watching closely. FFG have great production value but they can...

So, I'm curious. What is everyone's favorite new rule out of rules changes from previous editions? While we are at it, what is your favorite rule from a previous edition you wished hadn't changed.

I'm still digesting it myself. Really like to hear more from everyone else.

Ok, we're all scouring over the 5e PHB and hopefully we are all loving it :) It has a huge legacy to stand up too. Now that we've had sometime with it, I'm sure many of us have some first impressions. I love to know those are. So, what are you favorite things and least favorite things about 5e PHB?

So, what are the top 5 from movies, music, books and video games that define D&D's spirit to you? to you?

Conditions have changed alot from 3-5th. Are you happy with how 5e is handling them? What would you change? What conditions would you add or take away? What ones would you change and why?

We are all familiar with the various forms bonuses and progression have taken in the various editions of D&D. Personal preference and mileage varies, but the impression I'm given is most of us want characters to show growth, for low level threats to remain relevant as characters progression and...

So, I'm curious about what players think about the domain spells lists in D&D 3.5. Which spells don't fit? What spells should take their place? What domains feel like they are missing? What domains should be removed or altered? How would you improve the domains and how clerics class powers are...

What are the most problematic spells in 3.5 and why are they problematic for you?

The recent threads about 4e and 5e merits and flaws got me thinking about the 4e healing system, and attempts that designers have made since 3.X to try and improve the feel of healing and take burden off the cleric. There is a variety of alternative systems out there, but of them all 4e and its...

4th edition was inevitable. I agree with the posts above about it needing to be its own edition. 4e was streamlined, fun to DM and had solid, balanced math. Most of the 3.5 rules are in there too, as far as option and systems. In almost everyday, 4e was better than previous editions. What they...
