Apologies for not cutting out the part I'm not responding to. In the last campaign I played in, the DM used a rule I believe he got from one if the splatbooks. Exhaustion levels each give -1 to all checks, rolls and saves (but not passive values). The penalty is cumulative. To this, add...

At 53 pages, definitely gonna last six days ..

Don't call it a stupid mistake. The driving forces behind the attempt are still there, unchanged.

If the CEO of WotC wasn't in on a particular decision that would be a real story. Obviously the CEO was informed about and at the very least not opposed to the decision. Those charitables appear to not understand how businesses are run. You don't micromanage individual decisions of your...

This is obviously unsound reasoning. Anyone liking this post for how it convinces itself the Warlord cannot be done should retract that like. Obviously it can be done. Anything else is just POV-pushing. Again, the reason WotC gas not made a Warlock can be many and varied. But "it's impossible"...

One system that, despite all its faults, offered a cool and useful take on this issue was 1st edition Symbaroum! Meaning you could definitely create the smart or charismatic fighter - a fighter with those mental stats as their "prime" stat

Not sure what distinction you're getting at here, but I guess it's material for a different thread...

Actually, I would say it helps... if we're discussing why and how this thread is so alive and vibrant ;)

Not to mention switching to a decidedly crappier tool. The discussion forum is far superior to any form of social media when it comes to detailed intricate discussions of several different topics at once. I detest the trend towards discussing RPGs on Reddit or Discord.

At page 35: Gonna last more than six days...

Yes, of course. The important part is: are you able to see the corrollary? The reason WotC is going with its "we will only approve concepts which clear an arbitrary hurdle that massively favors a minority of disaffected playtest responders" policy is precisely because they are not interested...

That's an awfully passive-aggressive way of putting it. In reality, 4E has just crashed and burned as the least popular edition. What would be more natural than making sure the new deal distances itself from the old? WotC could not afford anyone going "the new edition is just more of 4E" and...

After 18 pages (!!) I guess you need to add one to make 54 different attempts... Let's see how long this particular thread lasts. Could be more than six days; it was quite a while since everybody got the opportunity to declare their vision the only acceptable path forward ;) No but seriously...

Time to open up the Warlord sub-forum again? ;)

I can't imagine why the current 2014 rules would ever be called "the 2016 rules", so I would agree; please only do that when absolutely necessary :p

Most are settling for the "2024 books" or the like. The old books are the 2014 edition.

Thanks. Just tell the OP that if they don't want their discussion derailed by naming questions they should probably spend the minimal effort required to learn what the name is going to be. Hint: it isn't 5.75

5.75? What are you talking about?

This is not intended as a dig at Goodman specifically, but, man, have I seen this insincere spin before, where the company is trying to pretend it isn't about abandoning the good traditional forum model. What I mean is that whatever direction they're moving in you can be sure there's no...

To keep my post brief, I think the game rules should give Dungeon Masters options to choose between, rather than making the choice for them. In other words, a full and complete ruleset would include rational and balanced pricing of magic items, but also say it is up to the DM and the party to...
