Wait. So using 4d6 and dropping the lowest ISN'T what I was supposed to do!?Yeah that's what I did, I ended up lucky with an 18 but with all my other rolls odd numbers. Having a stat limit seems stupid because adventurer's have almost always been supposed to be the geniuses of their race.
The major reason why Rogues just stank soo much in 3.5 was mostly because all the enemies immune to rogues were extremely common (Aberrations, constructs, undead, plants, oozes, some outsiders, elementals, anything with an inability to be flanked, anything with immunity to crits.). Yet if you just read the rogue's section you would never realize that.
Tropical colonies are fine, what's ridiculous is how the AI gets no effect from natives. They'll colonize places like Madagascar with no troop presence and never have a single uprising.
Also, those tropical colonies are !!INSANE!!. The amount of time it takes to colonize one of them takes about 3 times as much as a normal one, and it even dares to me an event before it's finished where one of the choices is (lose 1000 population and do it all over)
You have to roll to hit as a wizard, and on top of that there's a dex save to negate damage. That raw 1d10 with no damage added is equivalent or slightly worse than using a longsword 2handed as a fighter, where you'll probably have higher bonuses and you get to add your strength modifier to damage.> level 1Wait, wizards aren't instant casters in this? I read through the whole rules pretty much and made a wizard on the side, and what are they if not instant casters? Coming from 3.5e playing a (level 1...) wizard 5e wizards look great, 1d10 fire bolt every round potential so they don't suck early on.He's used to wizards being instant casters, which they aren't anymore. Also, there is no subclass, just paragon paths and epic destinies in 4e (although multiclass is also there in 4e)The difference between 5e and 4e is 5e went back to big brother 3.5I know that. But it's still D&D. He's not learning an entirely new system, just a variant on the one he already knows. A fairly large variant, admittedly, but the entire system hasn't been changed.

Wat.

And unless they bought alot of things they goofed, atleast with the money.Not sure what you mean, I just picked from the default items. Don't really care too much.
