D&D 5E L&L 6/23 A Living Rule Set

[SkidAce]

I was debating starting a different thread to discuss about the dwarf art.

I really like it. Solid work. There is a weight about him. And I enjoy the small details--the axe in his boot, the skull on the end of the maul, the strand of hair that's out of place, etc.

Thaumaturge.

I agree that I love the art and the details.

The ring over the glove bothers me a tad bit, but I still give the art a 9/10.

Magic Ring?

I've been really excited about 5e for sometime, but I'm very skeptical about the idea of a 'living' rules set. I'm fine with errata and fixing typos, but do we need major rule changes anytime someone complains about a rule? Also, does this mean that my books will be outdated every six months to a year?

With charisma dumped,
And strength score maxed,
No goblin shall survive my hacks,
Let those who worship Gruumsh face facts:
Beware my +3 Dwarven Axe!

Did you even read the article?

If a rule is unclear, we can include an update in a FAQ or similar resource. If a number is wrong or a rule is missing a keyword, we can update future printings of the relevant books and compile a list of errata. For changes of this magnitude, we’ll aim to provide annual updates. We’ll make actual rules changes (as opposed to updating a FAQ) only when absolutely necessary. If players and DMs feel they need to replace their books because of these changes, we’ve gone too far.

Congratulations shadow!

Also that dwarf art is pretty slick!

A nicely done piece of artwork, I'll grant you that. But with the usual impossible to wield weapon, and what the frack are those things on his pauldrons supposed to be?

Pauldron of giant strenght allowing him to wield his oversized maul

 

[Savage Wombat]

We say it's a Hammer of Thunderbolts, and then we don't have to justify the enormous size.

 

[Rune]

I believe they are stylized anvils with superimposed hammers.
