[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 7936454, member: 6801228"] I'm sorry, what point is there to that? "Yes, of the two CR 5 earth elementals the 3.5 one was weaker, but 3.5 had three other higher CR elementals that were stronger." IF the 5e one is stronger, then it doesn't matter how many versions of the creature the 3.5 MM had. You were comparing the base elementals. Likewise, if you compared two young adult dragons, bringing in the Ancient Great Wyrm version of one of them would be pointless, it has nothing to do with the question. So your point was to show that the tactical usage of various special materials, instead of blanket resistance, was something that wasn't universal? I'm confused, you seem to have jumped to a different point when I wasn't looking, I thought you were advocating for these materials, that is why you started by showing off golems who took less damage unless it was adamantium. Compared to 5e golems who take no damage unless it is adamantium or magic. So, are we no longer talking about the fighter? I thought we were talking about the fighter here, not the rogue. Because the rules for sneak attack have been massively changed and that is its own discussion entirely. Also, why bring up crit fishing builds only to say they couldn't have done anything? Honestly, crits are a random element anyways, even with a crit fishing build, you cannot guarentee a critical hit will happen, so they are pretty much pointless in a discussion of tactics. I use the optional flanking rules all the time. I have found no lack of structure to support it. I don't use facing, because we don't want to deal with that sort of thing. It is too minor a detail to keep in mind while playing. I also have no idea what you are trying to say here. The game fixed things, but did it in a way that broke optional things that now you have to fix? I can't even begin to respond to this until I find some clearer examples of what you mean (without having to read an entire other thread of information) Sigh, fine, but I have a question before I even start reading that thread. Where did you get that quote from? The one that supposedly shows I said: Because I don't remember saying that, and when I click on the "show post" it takes me to this post: It kind of bothers me since I would like to know the context of why I said that, since I feel like I did not mean "I can fix any problem Tetrasodium points out to me" But, while you answer that, I guess I'm reading an entirely new thread for giggles [/QUOTE]
