D&D 5th Edition: the fifth edition of the discussion thread

[Excession]

The new playtest is out now.

Fighter Combat Superiority is in, and the fighter chooses a Fighting Style that gives them some of their manoeuvres to use those CS dice.

Opportunity attacks are back, and are triggered when you leave an enemy's reach.

Being Surprised now prevents you from taking actions in the first round of combat.

Themes are now called "Specialties". Character creation rules are included. Medium armour lets you use your Dex mod, but only up to +2. Heavy armour reduces your speed and gives Disadvantage to stealth.

Huh, the Katana is in as a base weapon. Incoming fan boys and nerd rage?
