    D&D 5E Why is There No Warlord Equivalent in 5E?

    I quite like the Essence20 field commander from transformers RPG, think of them as the Megatron or Optimus Prime class, it's basic command is: Issue Command Many of your allies trust your commands more than their own instincts. As a Move action, you can issue a command, granting allies who...

    D&D 5E What I Don't Like About Subclasses, and Potential Solutions.

    I've never considered level one to be just a regular person, for that, the old school gamers have normal human. New players are easily handled, you can start them with pregen, or walk them through building their PC until they get the hang of the system. I don't know what you mean by free...

    D&D 5E What I Don't Like About Subclasses, and Potential Solutions.

    I'm definitely down for subclasses starting a 1st level for all classes. The class feats for pf2 are interesting since it let's you build your class in various ways without locking in your build which I think is quite good. Class feats also tie into the multiclass system, or whatever they call...

    WotC Bard is the biggest mystery in the 5.75e PHB

    It's no different than selecting the divine, primal, or arcane spell list and I think that this is what the should have been one of the defining aspects of the sorcerer but they hadn't really set up up the different magic types.

    WotC Bard is the biggest mystery in the 5.75e PHB

    Divine soul should be the subclass that changes the spell list to the cleric spell list for the sorcerer rather than just granting access to it.

    D&D 2E A bunch of 2e PDFs seem to have bumped up in price

    Yeah, seems like price hikes over most (all?) of the classic titles. I'd have to go back to check my purchases to see how much but it is definitely noticeable

    D&D 5E D&D Beyond: No More À La Carte Purchases But US Customers Can Buy Physical Books

    I feel like, at the very least, most casual players are buying their own set of dice. It was one of the first things everyone in my group, who hadn't played any RPG before, did after starting the game.

    What is your wishlist?

    I'd like a really good stars RPG that doesn't require special dice.

    Worlds of Design: The Problem with Magimarts

    So I never noticed that the Dark Sun charts were any different, but now looking back over it the constitution chart is also different, allowing for non-warriors to gain more health with scores above 19.

    D&D General D&D "influencers" need to actively acknowledge other games.

    I was going to mention something about me, alcohol, and posting being a bad idea at times.

    D&D General Re-Loring Monsters

    I think my lore is similar to what's already come before but some highlights (or at least things I like are): Dragonborn were made by dragons to swell the ranks of their armies, in this respect it is similar to dragonlance but dragons at the time put forward their eggs to create the new race of...

    Worlds of Design: The Problem with Magimarts

    Oh wow, I never noticed that.

    Worlds of Design: The Problem with Magimarts

    If I ever run 2e again, the way I fixed it was by making % strength separate from the 18 strength requirement allowing warriors with lower strength to gain additional bonuses. If a fighter has a 14/51 strength, they gain a +1 bonus to hit and damage, as well as an increase in lifting capacity.
