[QUOTE="ren1999, post: 5923057, member: 85179"] I feel insulted. We're on EN World here having really beneficial arguments on how to improve the game such as get rid of the Fort, Reflex, Will defenses and use ability scores, get rid of 1/2 level to-hit increases and we're not even being paid. We are fans and we play the game. But I'm play-testing this and these obvious math errors almost seem intentional, like someone who is not a fan is playing a joke on us. Seriously, why is the Wizard only allowed to cast 3 spells per day? Why do intoxicated characters get damage reduction? This was also a problem with 4th edition. I think someone should be fired for doing a terrible job organizing the material for this play-test. I'm angry. Under magical attacks for the Elf Wizard it says that you get an attack roll which is intelligence modifier +3 and an additional +2. 3+2=5. So why does the attack roll for Ray of Frost say 1d20+6? We buy these games so that people get paid to check math like this before rolling out a play-test. Now that in itself is nothing to get too angry about. But when these obvious mistakes are everywhere without explanation for the increase and decrease in numbers, I'm starting to think that someone doesn't care and rushed this material out without editing it. Someone on this forum said that "It is foolish to expect different results from the same people." Wise man, that one. [/QUOTE]
