Was it not that you had to attack to mark (but not hit), so the [1W] power did not mark (though the Come and Get It! power did)? And I remember that as a fighter you could make a attack for every opportunity, per monster turn. So if you had 4 guys run past you, you got to make 4 opportunity attacks ...

We played the heroic tier when 4e came out, and I played the bastard sword fighter. Also with a rock he picked up on the first adventure that he used to throw at the start of each encounter hoping to get a minion and thus show the absurdity that is 4e. Anyway he was pretty effective and fairly stick...

So I played a couple of encounters worth of the beta and these are my thoughts. I like the three action thing. I do not like most stuff is hidden behind class feats and features. The bullshit bonuses zerged all over the place. A lot of fixing could be done by just doubling or tripling any modifier. ...

Light Cleric is a fairly strong at those levels, as its channel divinities are very level relevant. 2d10+lvl per short rest to enemies within 30' is very strong if your DM takes the route of multiple weak encounters, which you can always follow up with a firwball or burning hands. Its not flashy but...

Reward the players for being smart. There is a spell that delays teleporting enemies in the location, so the players can use that to set a trap for the scary and die githyanki. Let them know that is a favorite githyanki tactic, and watch them spend alll session planning on how to set the trap. Bonus...

That kind of falls apart in DnD land when level 5 characters are capable of avoiding the law, and at level 10 are the law. Some other system where characters dont get so much power, so quickly. The other question is what the artifacts do, and how valuable they are. A +1 dagger is nice, but nothing t...

Yeah I dont get the RPG numbers either. If 2014 was 15 mil, and lets say 5e pushed that to 25 mil in 2015, what happened in 2016 that it grew another 10 mil. And for the record while its possible that wotc sold 300k 5e books in that year, what happened in 2016? I seriously disbelieve that WotC sold ...

I ran a few sessions of 40k and had a great time, though it involved a one click character generator and a excel for critical hits table. The players went through 3 to 6 characters per session, but there were several hilarious moments including when a character fell into a fire pit, got the critical...

The only way Ive seen skills matter is that the DM asks if you are trained (that is not a concept that exists in 5e) and that lets you do stuff without a roll and vice versa. Especially at low levels the difference in having proficiency or not does not matter mechanically at all. I especially like s...

5th ed is what you get when you take 3rd and 4th edition, combine the worst parts of both call it a appeal to old school and fail to index anything. My group was keen on trying it, and the first breakpoint cae when in the second session we found a magic scroll. The game ground to halt for a hour whi...

In a era where half of the top tourney armies have access to ranged D (all of them Eldar) it makes little sense to invest in a single model when a lucky 6 will remove it from play, no save. Then again, scuttlebut is that GW is planning to do to 40k in a couple of months what it did to Fantasy with a...

I hate 5e as much as the next guy, if not more but is it possible that Mearls is right? That 5e actually sold more books then 3.0? Now the Amazon data Virgil posted doesn't support that, but the interesting thing that is that it shows 5e PHB sales are actually growing. The data that does support 5e'...
