D&D 5E Doctors & Daleks Previews Include Official 5E DALEK Stats!

With Cubicle 7's 5E-powered Doctors & Daleks coming out tomorrow, let's take a look at some of the preview pages they've shared. Unfortunately the Cubicle 7 site seems to be down right now, but hopefully it will be working so you can buy the game tomorrow!

I mean if you're going to build a game with a 5e engine you're going to get weirdness.

Fortunately they also sell the Doctor Who RPG, which is a point buy skill based system for those who don't think this is a good fit.

Hell, I think it's weird that cantrip has become a catch all term for at-wills. I remember when Clerics had orisons...
