    D&D 5E Should Explicit Monster Roles Return?

    It's just a way to quickly communicate 'This monster is good at this thing in battle', it's not that deep of a concept.

    Anything that could survive that long would be fine.

    D&D 5E Should Explicit Monster Roles Return?

    Neat to see the 60%/40% split. I'd still like to know how the 'No' camp describes Monster Roles and how they think they work, because it often feels like they imagine them way more restrictive than they actually are?

    D&D General What are humans?

    Regardless of what we decide I really like the subtle 4e lore that the Human God that everybody forgot about is the one Asmodeus killed to ascend to god hood and the 9 Hells was formerly his domain.

    Woot! You got anything in mind? We got a Dragonborn Paladin and a Deva Invoker, both of Bahamut, and we'll probably have a DMPC Lazy Lord following us around. That's cool! Do we have a demon or devil type enemy that could do that? He could be a returning bad guy later on...

    D&D 5E Which classes have the least identity?

    I think the 2-1-1 arrangement is probably the best balance here. It gives classes an area of specialty, without making them useless in others. There should be a basic level of competency for all class, and they should shine in their element. When the Fighter fight you should say "Wow, that guy...

    D&D 5E Which classes have the least identity?

    Too angy to die.

    D&D 5E Which classes have the least identity?

    How is it fun for people who like an archetype when it's the designated dud? That it gets outshined by folks who can do exactly all it does but get more goodies on top? How is it less immersive that some people just don't have the training to do something in particular? I've never seen that...

    D&D 5E Which classes have the least identity?

    All the classes should be equally powerful, and if not, it should have a disclaimer about it, otherwise it's a stupid design made by silly designers. subclasses don't count. This is a thread about identity. He absolutely should not, he's a WIZARD! Even with equal stats and proficiency, the...

    MichaelSomething's 4E Comeback special

    Took a bit of effort to figure it out but I got my character sheet done! Instead of the boring Implement Mastery feat tax I picked Coordinated Explosion. I still get a +1 to attacks but only when an ally is in my bursts and blasts. I'll be focusing my power picks on anything that says 'Target...

    D&D 5E Which classes have the least identity?

    If Wizard subclass had more meat we could have had a Pet Class Necromancer subclass who gets those spells later on (probably a level or two after the Cleric).

    D&D 5E Which classes have the least identity?

    What's the point of a class that does the same thing as everybody and doesn't get to be unique? And sure, you can count Action Surge and Second Wind and stuff, but those are specific mechanics of 5e. What is the Fighter good for conceptually? What's its unique schtick concept that nobody else...

    Economic Board Games?

    @Maenalis Diplomacy?! Are you insane?! :p

    Economic Board Games?

    Another one I just remembered: Nippon! And the game I was thinking is actually Arkwright! It's a VERY complex game but represents pretty well capitalism. You should check out this review.
