D&D 5E (2024) Do you plan to adopt D&D5.5One2024Redux?

[James Gasik]

I really dislike that definition, because it includes the PCs. If everything is a monster, then nothing is really a monster. It's pretty useless as a definition.

Oh absolutely, it's hilarious, but very very silly. It's like they wanted to say "monsters are people too, you know?".

I mean, this is the same edition that doubled down on non-evil Drow and then gave us non-evil Orcs (but 4e was the edition that was trying to be WoW, I thought?).

Micah, I'm not going to preface every post I make with "this is my opinion." Please stop asking me to add in the words "this is my opinion" to every statement I make.

We get into way, WAY too many arguments here on ENWorld over whether or not one or the other of a writer or a responder understands that any given statement is an opinion or a universal statement.

I think we'd all be a lot happier if we were able to respect each other enough to assume that everyone knows that the thing that they just wrote is their own opinion, without having to spell it out in minute detail.

(Of course, now I worry that my above statement will come across as "condescending", "lecture-y", or "wagging (my) finger" - when I just mean it as, "I'm going to try to do this thing - join me if you like!"

Oh but you should be able to opt out of it, in case you're one of those people who truly feels their opinion is law!

I'm not sure there actually IS any of those kind of people here. And when they pop up, I think they get Modded out pretty quickly. I could be wrong, though!

I'm not. I'm asking why you think the new WotC 5e books have the best class design.

 

[Micah Sweet]

Boy do I concur. I always want my games to have epic, sweeping plots, but you know what? Just focus on the individual adventures. I'll have a metaplot, but whether or not it ever comes up will depend on where the game goes.

That is the game I want to run.

Is that what "5.2" is? Man, there's so many opinions at this point on what to call the new books that I don't even know what people are talking about anymore. I refused to comment on a thread here that called it "5.75" because I knew that the term was going to irk me too much for me to want to get involved. At this point I don't really care what people call it, but they could at least pick something that helps me to know what exactly they're talking about!

WotC is using "5.2" to differentiate the 2014 SRD from the forthcoming 2024 SRD. I can get behind that. The issue I had was that they apparently refused to call it anything different at all, like they were both the same when they're not.

Ah yes, the SRD. That makes sense, actually. It's just new enough for me to not be used to it yet. But I acknowledge that it's a fair choice.

Is the local noble local to where your PC originated or local to wherever you are? To me the logical reading is the former

if it meant local to wherever you are, why even include the word ‘local’ at all, it would be clearer without it at that point

Best short version I've seen is 5.24.
