5e has great rules, but one legitimate concern I see often is the "Whack-a-Mole" issue. You've probably seen it as well: during a fight, rather than try to heal damage as it occurs to prevent a party member from dropping, they will wait to use healing word or a potion until after a PC has...

This thread is part one of a potential multi-part series examining the mechanics of each class and how each ability or feature ties into the class’s overall flavor and lore. In instances where features are a little bit weak flavorfully, I’ll suggest an alternative and request that others do the...

In 5e Basic, take a look at Heal, Cure Wounds, Healing Word, and Mass Healing Word (Evocation) versus Mass Heal and Mass Cure Wounds (Conjuration). Are these the intended schools, or should this be slated for errata. Just for kicks check out Revivify versus Raise Dead and Resurrection.

I really like the new Exhaustion rules from the new packet, and I think they have a lot of room to be expanded upon. I spent some time playing around with the rules to develop something that covers those 4e and 3.X/Pathfinder corner cases where the penalty for failure is best modeled by...

Crossposted to WotC Forums: Here. I’m not very enthusiastic about the direction the skill system has taken during the most recent packet. Narrow skills, each tied to one specific ability score, make it difficult for backgrounds and class concepts to cover every area of minimal competency you...

I posted this in another thread, but the more I thought about it, the more I thought it might be interesting enough to warrant its own thread: Are there any other things you would like to see dials for? I can imagine a core system just loaded with cool options. Just like a character sheet, a...

*WARNING SPOILERS FOR FIRST PART OF ADVENTURE 1 AHEAD* I thought I would share the e-mail I just sent to the rest of my group: "Team, The first report is attached. I think it has some entertainment value to it. In particular, I would check out the casualty list for the Coaltongue...

Many of the items I'll eventually want to get for my character during the AP are uncommon. I assume my party members are probably the same. Therefore, I have a few clarifying questions with regards to equipment/prestige so we know when they come up. Just so you know, we haven't started the...

Something said in the Edition Wars thread (tongue-in-cheek) really made me think during dinner, which is good, because that is why I participate in these discussions. Pawsplay said: "4e is not ever going to be an optimized experience for me... D&D 4e can never be that for me. First of all...

I've been reading the EN World and WotC forums for a long time, and I have been particularly interested in the recent discussions on how to improve the game. Several places have addressed feat taxes, as well as obsolete and underpowered feats (what CharOp calls "red options.") I've always felt...
