The rest is good. But BA is the true gem of this edition.This is a factor to take into consideration. I am of the side of "If you want to discuss general, stick to the core 3  but if you want to discuss a specific book, then forget the core 3 and concentrate on the specific". And I got hosed quite often because of that.But the DMG offers a lot of modularity that no other DMG ever did. The problem is that most people stop at the PHB and forget to read the DMG and what it offers.Yep. And unfortunately, the vast majority will not buy 3pp. They want "official books" like TCoE. But at the same time, TCoE is a book of power creep all along. A few ideas were good but a lot of it was not that great or got compared enough to the PHB to either scale down a bit. Seriously, there is a fighting style that give unarmed attack a base damage of 1d8... The monk players says thank you to make us feel even worse than we were... TCoE would have been much more appreciated if it had offered true remedies to classes/subclasses that needed them. Maybe the 5.5 will correct the mistakes. But I doubt it.Yes and no. See my reply to [USER=7635]@Remathilis[/USER] above. The floating ASI was not well received from my part. But not because I do not want floating ASI but because I only want the +1 to be floating at most. They should have kept the fixed ASI but allowed floating as an option, not something from the get go. How do I use the new races if I do not know what stats should be the original +2/+1 be going?</blockquote>
