Re: Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition - Thread #3
No Play by post playing. Sorry fellas.
I wonder why though. At least on their site?

Re: Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition - Thread #3
Can you do the same for me, if it's not any trouble?
As for my opinions on the playtest link:
Not working. Signed up twice to no avail. There's a thread full of complaints on the WOTC forums that is literally growing a page every 5-10 minutes. Each updated link does not work. Crazy stuff. Crazy stuff.Newest Work: Pyromancer - My submission for Base Class Contest X

Guys, I literally tried the Sword and Board blog's link five minutes ago, and it worked fine. Try again?

A google link will get past a lot more work firewalls than rapidshare.

Re: Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition - Thread #3
Google "Sword and Board" blog. It's their latest post. It's a rapidshare link, though, so some firewalls might block it.
Am I allowed to upload the files to Google Docs for other people, or is that considered against the rules? Is there a clause in WotC's rules saying that if they're incredibly inept we can just circumvent them? (I wish.)Jude P.

Re: Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition - Thread #3
I'm very curious to see how they balance the magic and nonmagic classes. It's difficult to tell with just this. At the moment, as others have said, things are looking quite 3.5esque.

Id actually call it 4e done in a 3e way.
Others see it as 3e done in a 4e way.

Re: Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition - Thread #3
Thanks. Got it and ran through it quickly.
Good:
- Seems to be more similar to 3.X
- Seems to be room for customization(Not in the playtest, but I think one will at least be able to chose from more than one Rogue Scheme eventually)
- Seems to be generally playable
Bad:
- Seems to not be as flavorful
- Seems a bit shoddy, can't say why, but perhaps that's just the fact that it's just a playtest
Some funny things I noticed:
- If I'm correct, movement is now a free action that can be taken 1/round
- Some of the monsters are funny
- You can cast Charm Person on a person without chance for a save.....providing you've essentially beaten the tar out of them or they're a 1st level character

Re: Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition - Thread #3
Hmm.. I hadn't noticed the movement thing, but now that I think about it, it seems that way.. So they're abolishing the whole Standard v Move Actions? I need to do some rereading.

Re: Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition - Thread #3
There don't seem to be different kinds of actions...There's one action per round (two if you're a fighter using that ability), you can move once per round, and you can make reactions to things, which is how things like Feather Fall work now.

Re: Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition - Thread #3
OK DUDE. 50Copper, calling people idiots for disliking 4e is mean. Relax take a chill pill.
Nobody wants a dumb fighter with no choices. But remember what they said? That they are implementing modularity with the game. These may all simply be the simplest choices.

Re: Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition - Thread #3
Yes, I do believe they mentioned in one of the blogs that the pre-gen fighter would be the simplest one possible and later iterations of the playtest would include different themes and such with Powers for the Fighter. To satisfy people who just want the beatstick and people who want fancy beatsticks.

They sent me the e-mail to download the playtest packet, but I can't seem to access the site. :-(

Re: Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition - Thread #3
Dam it really sucks that PbP is not allowed. Even on their website. Could have made aprivate one. Just for play-testers. How else am I supposed to test the rules? Nobody I know wants to interrupt the current campaign for untested rules.

Re: Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition - Thread #3
I wonder what the chances are of WOTC finding a 5e PbP game on a completely random forum? ie. not here, but just a small privately-hosted one. Could always see if we can assemble a group of people who are willing to risk it...

Im not sure. Sure their anti PbP guidelines are asinine but If I get caught I don't want to be kicked out of the forum.
