    Poster ejection over thread closure request.

    Huh. And here I was sure that when that thread finally got the axe I'd probably be in the middle of it somewhere. I cannot say I disagree with the specific point that was being made, at least.

    The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

    I've said it in this thread before, and I'll say it again; Marshawn Lynch may be a better comedian than he was a football player, and he was an extremely good football player.

    D&D 1E Favorite Obscure Rules from TSR-era D&D

    I loved the original Wild Magic table where the number to trigger a Wild Surge randomly changed based on your level; so a 5th level Wild Mage would trigger a surge on a 7, 6th level they'd trigger a surge on a 19, 7th level they'd trigger a surge on a 13, etc.

    "The design is bad" "The design is good, actually" "Pbbbf, nobody actually plays it that way" Yeah I think I'm done with this one.

    D&D 5E Which classes have the least identity?

    Honestly, the fact that Ranger isn't running away with this would tell me everything I need to know about how there is no consistent definition of "identity" in this context if those arguments weren't already happening in the comments :p

    D&D 5E Which classes have the least identity?

    Except everything I was talking about were mechanics, they are just mechanics that you now evidently pretend are never actually used. I have, in fact! And I've had Wizard players who play the game as written, as novel as that apparently sounds to you. I've had a Wizard and a Sorcerer in the...

    D&D 5E Which classes have the least identity?

    Yes, that is why the terms "mechanically" and "design of the class" are the key points of the exact sentence you quoted. Now this explains so much. The assumption that wizards are swapping out prepared spells regularly is baked into the class. It is the main mechanical purpose/benefit of the...

    D&D 5E Which classes have the least identity?

    Well, you've got the church kids, the hippies, shop kids, musical theatre kids, and the burnouts buying essays off of Chegg. So... yeah, we got it covered

    D&D 5E Which classes have the least identity?

    It's not just about copying spells in a spellbook. It's about having the right spell for the right moment prepared at the right time. It's about planning ahead, thinking about the obstacles one might face and setting up what they need to do it. In other words, they're nerd casters. Sorcerers...

    "I'm a [BLANK] kid!"

    I will say that in addition to Return of the Jedi, I was also a Final Fantasy, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Legos, and Belgariad kid

    "I'm a [BLANK] kid!"

    After watching the OT with my wife and 9-year-old, we all agree that RotJ was actually the best of the bunch.

    D&D 5E Which classes have the least identity?

    A wizard is a swiss army mage, the sorcerer can only ever do a few things but they do it very well and with a lot of flexibility. They are designed to play very differently, and I can't say I've ever seen either in play look all that similar to the other.
