Me too, but that's more like DLC than micro-transaction. In a micro-transaction game, you'd only be able to play human fighters and everything else would have a price tag on it.

Amen to that.

Jennell was one of the true greats. One of my favourites is her cover of Temple Tower & Tomb, which I've sadly never had a chance to play. I understand her model for the wizard was actually Jeff Grubb. Imagine being immortalized on the cover of a D&D book?

Since there's no such thing as "6th edition D&D", the author's entire thesis sort of collapses.

The Exemplar - an intentionally broken class. A new class for 5th Edition D&D, the exemplar is designed with a specific purpose - to allow a single PC to embark on the sort of adventures normally reserved for an entire party of 4-5 PCs. If you like solo play but don't want to nerf encounters...

Agreed. Who knew they had such good hair product in the Forgotten Realms?

I'm a little bittersweet on this. Part of me is glad that things return to normal, or better than normal now that SRD5.1 is CC. Part of me is sad that the blue-sky possibilities of a post-Hasbro world have been traded for another epoch under the dominion of a (hopefully) benevolent overlord.

I'm astounded. Like, astonished.
