It's still a few guarenteed hit that counts as a basic attack, might be worth packing if you have a warlord in the party.

And if you have wizards fury, two guaranteed hits per turn > Very Happy

5E isn't too bad a system I was part of a Demo group playing it about 5 hours ago. I cant till July third I get to pick up the intro starter kit that comes out for people to enjoy before the actually books start slowly filtering in. The system is trying to combine the good attributes of 1/2 with 3E and 4E which sadly to those that still love Thaco it wont be carried over, but I think you can download PDFs of some of the test rules to look at them.

There were people that love THAC0?

I grew up on 2nd Edition but even I know it was a total nightmare.

I know some who loved it, but it is a headache to learn in the beginning.

I just starting doing some conversions of some nasty hive mind machines from issue 258 of Dragon which so far the walker has been converted to 4e which I plan to convert all from that issue including the ones from issue 270 which added 5 new sheens including a way to transform characters into half sheen which I wont be converting. I will private message anyone who thinks they have a party of adventures that need a good thrashing from an unknown foe that either recently arrived or has been in a statis and the adventures awaken them.

Well quite recently I've been playing Baldur's Gate EE (Enhanced Edition) and was toying around with the black pits, which has you creating a group of protagonists.

And here's what I came up with, I have Ryan as a Fighter with the Kensai kit and he's Lawful Neutral. John Carnaby was a Bard with the Blade kit and Neutral Good. Damus was a Paladin with the Blackguard kit and was Lawful Evil. Eliza was a Thief with Shadowdancer and was Neutral Good. And Lucy was a Thief with the Assassin and Chaotic Neutral.

I also contemplated with what you guys would come up with, knowledge of the game isn't required but would be great. So let's hear your ideas people!

As it is now finally out here, I can really applaud the effort for the 5th edition, it is a good one. The tabletop feeling in the 4th edition is totally gone, so 5th Edition feels a lot like an improved 2nd Edition in a good way. The only thing that feels strange to me is that a first lvl Character with good stats can hit a behir with an 11, a common city guard with a 14.

From what I've seen of 5E it seems like a hybrid of 4E with some of the PF tweaks. From a simplification standpoint I like the dis/advantage system, but I've always been one for stacking up the math.
