Dude, what if we gave the mage classes all the fun abilities while ranger and fighter are stuck with auto attack?

Well it is based off of dnd

Have you tried not playing Dungeons and Dragons?

fighter gets maneuvers. rangers are pretty boring. but if you make a drow you get a free faerie fire at level 3, and as beastmaster your spider gets web (which is a level 2 spell) and its bugged and has no concentration and can be cast over and over.

I'm new to DnD, so if this is standard fare, then DnD fucking sucks ass. How did this shit get so popular?

By not being entirely about combat and coming before video game RPGs were big.

What ability are you fucking expecting if your base of damage is an arrow or a weapon hitting someone?

A mage studied magic, a warrior duels, an archer hits targets.ifyou want magic spells pick the fucking class that uses it's time to learn said spells

Jesus if you don't like the babby "everyone-gets-to-be-a-mage-and-feel-included" shitshow that is 5e you would have hated actual D&D

disingenuous logic. Going by your retarded standards, wizards and warlocks would just use staffs and go pew pew with magic bolts all day. No actual utility spells or buffs/debuffs, etc

the duck? did you start playing in 5e or some shit?

Are you autistic or illiterate?

considering tabletop is garbage and makes the video game player equivalent look like normal, well adjusted human beings in comparison, I'll take that as a compliment.

You can take it however you want, at the end of the day you're still retarded.

Its only really a problem when there is no pacing for encounters. When you can blow all your spells at the first fight of the day, then rest for 8 hours and get them back with zero consequences, you will forever be better than the guy who can fight consistently all day.

Magic users have limits in the amount of times they can cast spells. After those limited uses they are basically useless.

Non magic based classes have no limits and can do whatever they want. Most magic classes are also extremely frail and can die quite easily without support.

It's quite balanced.

Marketing and push.

While early and was certainly all about combat rules wise games were and always will have as much role-playing as people want you don't need rules for dm Fiat and it arguably tells better stories

NO U

What if we had sex

The only time I can remember D&D being entirely about combat was those autistic 2e tournaments where a bunch of turboneckbeards gathered in one building to minmax a bunch of broken builds to run through premade adventure modules. No one actually played the game like that.

>No one actually played the game like that.
Oh user...

dnd isn't about the mechanics of fighting enemies

suck out the feces directly from my sphincter, faggot diddler

But warriors and archers get physical feats retard. That's the fucking trade off. Their utilities come in different forms dumbass.

While a mage can cast slow fall. A warrior might be able to move a large rock. A rouge can pick pocket. An archer can track. Jesus kill yourself retard and learn the basics of DandD

DnD was made for dungeon crawling, you ignoring half the rulebook in favor of ERPing with your DM doesn't change thst.

Oh, so DnD is the Star Trek of role playing. Christ, no wonder that shit went out of style in the 90s.

It's genuinely hilarious that you say that considering the actual reason D&D was made was because other wargames only had rules for combat and didn't allow you to do other shit.

And not just shitty boring combat for those classes that are suicidal to play since most mosters at level 1 can kill you in 2 hits while you miss everything.

But also the roleplaying fucking sucks, Wizard and Cleric get 99999999 extra dialogue options while Fighter, Rogue and Ranger don't get shit.

That's every western rpg ever made.

It was never popular, there is a reason fat larper basement dwellers have always been mocked, and still are.

jesus christ, I am actually finding myself agreeing with the faggot schizo autist

>larper basement dwellers
Making fun of anything requires a baseline knowledge of the thing you're making fun of and you unfortunately don't have it.

What planet do you live on where dnd isn't the most popular of all ttrpgs

It's more popular than ever retard. You are just a dumb fuck.

Yeah, all those DnD inspired video games man...

well I specifically go fighter to hit shit and have slightly higher hp
and it does that thing well

ttrpgs aren't very popular to begin with

I'm speaking purely in terms of fun factor here, not efficiency

Thats not what is being disputed. Learn to read.

They are made DUE to the popularity of it retard. DUE to the demand

So, what if we made D&D like D&D?
>melee jocks get nothing
>wizards get everything and are the most bestest at everything and also have 12 inch cocks that bitches have to make a willpower saving roll to not want to suck

no
