[QUOTE="redwizard99, post: 6378034, member: 78560"] We played 3e ten years ago, move to 3.5 and then pathfinder. The original group got 5 players and me as the DM, and now we are only down to 3 players for 5e. [LEFT][COLOR=#000000]We are playing board games from FFG this year, but everyone is so excited about the launch of 5e. They have all made their characters, one human valor bard, one woodelf two weapon fighter and one tielfing warlock. We will start our session next week and I am using the 3e FRCS as reference. Everyone is happy with the various options they got for classes from the PHB. For me as DM, 5e is quite good on balance, except for a few points: 1) They remove the charge in combat rules, but every range attack and spell from 3e gets the same range. It makes melee character harder to attack archer or mage. (I will just add back a simple charge) 2) The saving throw never improves if it is not in your class table. It seems there will be a problem when the DC of spells go up to DC18+ later. I know it is the same problem from 3e, but it is still there. 3) Cantrip at will for damage output. ar...I don't know, it is not broken but I just don't like the favor of it. And the last upgrade at 17 levels to four die damage seems over the top...but since it is not broken, I will just leave it for now. [/COLOR][/LEFT] [/QUOTE]
