WotC Take Note: If DoaM is core to 5e I will buy it!

[evileeyore]

My participation the last few days has brought unto me a revelation! I like DoaM so much that if it is a core, unremovable, too firmly lodged in to easily house rule out concept *, I will buy 5e!

Yes, me. They guy who has never bought a WotC D&D product ever. Who stopped being a D&D consumer after the Moldvay BECMI set, I will buy 5e.


And if it it's not in there, and can't be snuck in because "the books are at the printers", then if you put it in 6e I'll come back to the fold then.

Pinky swear!






* At least as firmly embedded as Alignments.

This thread is baiting and should be closed. Reported for forum disruption.

Huh.

So it's not okay to state I like DoaM and would buy D&D if it were included as a fundamental core feature?



I really have been gone for awhile.

I'm afraid I don't see how this is baiting, it is just expressing an opinion - if it isn't an opinion that someone happens to agree with, just don't reply to this thread.

Nothing special to see here.

For the record: I am serious. I may have a bit of tongue in cheek attitude in the opening post, but I am serious about buying 5e if DoaM is tightly in there. Or 6e if 5e is a miss.

Not sure I can keep my excitement level up for another 8 years for 7e (if 6e passes on DoaM)... but we'll see.

So lets say its in there, but as one option among several. Are you still in? Will you let the mere presence of options keep you from a game that includes your one true love?

The "lodged in firm and hard" was comedy, but if DoaM is a core concept, i.e. an option a fighter can choose, even if it's a GWF, then I'll probably pick it up.

If the option is languishing in a "sidebar in the DMG" somewhere, then I'll know WotC isn't serious about helping us bad dice rollers to play Fighters.

What is it about DoaM that makes you like it so much?

I have a history of terrible dice rolling. To the extent that if I play D&D I don't play Fighters, I play support roles (Thief, Wizard, Cleric, etc) because constantly failing to hit means your character (as a Fighter) is constantly failing to do it's job.


DoaM might just mean I bother playing a Fighter again. As such I'll support WotC if they support this rule.

Pandering to gamers who believe dice rolling involves player skill is a losing proposition, because it's irrational.

Fighters shouldn't deal damage on each attack. It's a booby prize.
