D&D 5E Discussion

[Ninjerk]

Seriously, though, imagine if instead of picking a patron god in PoE that you built your paladin by taking multiple non-trivial oaths that would create tension for the player within combat and dialogue.

 

[Lhynn]

I cant imagine anything with PoE on it, game kills imagination like nothing else ive ever seen.

I'll concede that if my idea had made it into the game it probably would have been patched out.

 

[Lhynn]

I have decided on a EK 12 conjuration specialist 8 will be best
6 EK - 2 Conjuration esp. then probably go 5 more EK and leave the last EK level for 20 if the campaign ever makes it that far.

Minor conjuration seems really amazing, able to create poisons or alchemist fire at will seems great. could treat it as an utility belt, a character thats always prepared.

My favorite Dex lab episodes from when I was a wee lad.

That game session transitions from a classic D&D adventure... to a bioware dating sim.

So mike mearls just confirmed that the lifetime sales of 5e's PHB wrecked the 3.5/4e PHB. I think this game has legs.

So does Stephen Hawking, but I don't see him running around.

Night Goat You were wrong.

Show me where he said that, and I'll tell you why it's bullshit. If 5e was doing that well they'd be making new content for it.

They are making new content for it. They are just throroughly playtesting it first.

They are, there's a bunch of new books coming out right now.

 

[Night Goat]

First I've heard of it. What are they?

I believe that WoTC are just taking their time and attempting to release quality content instead of a quantity of content (like they did w/4e, where there were like 20 books available in the first few months, you see how well that went). This is also just WoTC books, not the games and/or 3rd party supplemental.

Cloak -- ... they were going up into the icy mountains, and this temple under a mountain that's basically become a repository of evil. There was this sect of good-aligned wizards and paladins who were keeping this temple, and all of the evil within it, trapped there, to keep the world from going, you know, crazy. Keep the world safe. But that was 400, 500 years ago. What's in there enow? Well, maybe the wizards have all died off. Maybe they sort of succumbed to the evil there. Who knows? But it's an interesting story, and that's a piece, or a fragment, of a story that is going to be important in the future.

Dagger -- Dagger is a story in which you're going around and pillaging the ancestral mounds of barbarian tribes. And that has a slightly different feel, don't you think? It feels a bit more pulpy, and oh, you're got an airship! Great!

 

[Irenaeus]

The 3 new last books look awesome. Will get them!

 

[Lhynn]

you worthless pile of subhuman shit.

Thats not nice.

 

[Trias_Betrayed]

Paladin + Undying light warlock makes for a nasty combo

 

[Night Goat]

They're still making adventure paths...so what? Those aren't even being made in-house, they're outsourced to Mearls' friends in other game companies. And they're only for the subset of DMs who don't want to come up with their own adventures. Why doesn't 5e make content for everyone?

But I am fully aware this entire post was a complete waste of fucking time because WotC isn't pumping out 30 dollar books with a smattering of new character options for martials that nobody is buying and that's your definition of a healthy game. You will literally ignore this, handwave it with some pissy comment or stick a button to my post in a negative way because you're a dumb fucking retard and you have an irrational hateboner for the best selling RPG of that last two years, you worthless pile of subhuman shit.

This more than anything else is why people who aren't 5e fanboys have a negative opinion of it. The players have a cultlike devotion to it and can't accept that some people prefer other games, instead you get really upset about people not liking what you like.

 

[Trias_Betrayed]

"fuck you 5e is shit I hate you"
"this is why people don't like 5e players cus u're mean to me"

 

[Night Goat]

I only came to this circlejerk because I was summoned to it. If you're gonna get butthurt about what I have to say, you should all agree to stop doing that.

LMAO ARE YOU LITERALLY SAYING "WHY DOESNT WOTC MAKE CONTENT FOR PEOPLE THAT MAKE UP THEIR OWN CONTENT" HOLY SHIT LMAO

Citation needed nerd. Show me a list of people that aren't shrieking autistic 3aboos that have a negative opinion of 5e.

Do you ever think before posting? WotC could be making monster books, setting books, character option books...but you're just gonna go into a sperg rage and blurt out the first thing that comes to mind. And as for "shrieking autistic 3aboos"...you're just proving my point. 5e has the most toxic fanbase in the industry.

 

[Lhynn]

Dont you understand that what NG wants is ways to break the system!?

Anyway, psions and other classes are being playtested, have been for a year. Theyll be released when they are deemed ready.

 

[Lhynn]

You can break 5e easily. There's a bunch of different class combos that just do silly damage if done right.

They rely on surprise and other very hard to pull of circumstances tho.

[Scroo]

Has anyone played Curse of Strahd? I read good stuff about it, how long does the campaign approximately take to finish? In a scenario where each session takes 3-4 hours 2 or 3 times a month

 

[Trias_Betrayed]

I'll admit that SCAG sucked though, it was a ripoff and most of the classes were shit
