given that most adventures end around level 12, that does not appear to be an issue

and those relatives are mentioned in the official lore? If not, why can’t you have some for a dragonborn too?

and I disagree how extensive, your group? That is called anecdotal. Also, have you tried that with truly / intentionally unbalanced games? at which point whoever needs to feel superior to enjoy the game might not be in a position to, but yeah, I am certainly not going to play X so someone who...

if using a d10 instead of a d8 or adding a + to something is a mechanic, then everything is a mechanic. In that case, yeah so what, tweak the mechanics to achieve balance. Balance is more important than some unsocialized jerks being able to feel superior because they could bully others into...

balance is independent, you can increase the bonuses, add feats or whatever to a class, and if that needs new mechanics, add ones that thematically work for it and there is nothing that convinces me that someone who wrote that it is good to cater to people who is right about what is a...

no it isn’t, especially since balance is kinda independent from mechanics and a thematically well designed class

agreed, which means it probably is less acceptable for a sword than for a more complex and less reliable weapon like an early gun, and yet no one complained about the chance of rolling a 1 per round increasing with your number of attacks, but somehow for a gun that is a problem

are there people who want to be worse than others (rather than just willing to ‘work through’ as you said) ? Otherwise those people get their wish to the detriment of everyone else What if they are not the only one in their group with that attitude?

yes, but the chance of misfire is for the gun. You use it more, you misfire more yes, because the chance of misfire is tied to the gun, not their skill level Same as rolling a 1 on a d20, the more often you roll, the more often it will come up, even though you get more skilled with your sword...

not a fan of 2024, whether them leaving was a good thing will depend on what the new guys create though. Probably will have to wait for 6e though, 2024 has set an example for the next years / supplements, unfortunately Overall I am much more in line with what Mearls is working on than what...

I assume the difference is the $5 that DDB makes, so MHP still makes about the same for PDF or DDB either way

agreed, but the core rulebook sells hundreds of thousands on DDB, not a handful of thousands.

I am not seeing the difference, you make stuff up whether Greenest is a dragonborn community or not. The only difference is how many other dragonborn are among the acquaintances of your character. Why can your dragonborn only have a generic history because they live in a village with few other...

I am not sure I would let anyone in that apparently is incapable of getting in when they threaten me and drag around dead bodies. Seems safer to not let those people in…

and your dragonborn family can have lived in Greenest for generations and have local contacts. and history in that place… the only one stopping you here seems to be you
