I'm lawful neutral, though all my D&D characters are neutral good. I don't want a buzzfeed. I just like D&D. I should've made a sheet for Byers' game. I regret everything!

I started DM'ing the Tiamat book and didn't like it at all so I'm in the third or so session of a custom one and I'm having a lot of fun with it. Casters low-level seem better, combat seems less complicated, and this version seems to be more focused on you having a variety of stuff to do and just doing it vs spending hours and hours figuring out what you can do just to do the same stuff over and over again like 3.5. I like 3.5 but it's too complicated for not enough payoff. I never played 4.

I've only played a little bit of 5e and maybe it is just because we were low level, but I didn't like it at all. I felt so throttled in what I could do in a fight as a non-magic person that I basically have to wait until level 3 where I can learn some rogue magic to have any options whatsoever. 4e let you diversify from level 1 in picking encounter and daily powers, that you could pull out for certain situations. 5e is like here is the one thing you can do and if the situation isn't optimal for that one thing you are basically screwed.

Like, sometimes tediously so. 5e took the best from a few editions and combined them in a way that works pretty well. It's not perfect and sometimes they tried too hard to please everyone (mostly in the variant rules in the DMG), but it's a pretty good model for D&D.

I like less structured RPGs, such as Edge of the Empire. Combat is fun but group storytelling is more important to me. So I like 5e a lot.

Yeah, I can see that. I will say, up until this year 4th was my go-to D&D because the problems you mention for 5e are even more pronounced in earlier editions.

I have a GM who rules on the side of having fun and people who I enjoy playing with. But I think the system is handicapping us more than helping us. Also martials are nearly worthless, the best way to play a fight guy is not to take the fight guy class which is sad.

I do like the feature system though, since in 4e you basically built your character for combat and all the actual role playing character stuff was completely on you to put in. Having elements of your character actually built in from your character sheet is nice. I just wish they hadn't sacrificed so much of the combat complexity.

In 3.5 you had very lovely options as a low-level caster and the cleric was always the most important person in the party. In my most recent 3.5 campaign I was a dwarven cleric and basically held the whole party on my back in damage, healing and tanking. That wouldn't last forever but I was an incredibly critical person and if I passed out, it was game over. You can balance this out manually of course, but then what's the point?

I think that "combat complexity" is a good difference between the two. If you like that tactical game in combat and the structured power levels, 4th is your cup of tea. If you want more freeform, 5e is pretty good but like Grandicap said, you need a DM to roll with things. For better or worse, 5E assumes a DM that ignores the rules when they get in the way of fun, and that they will about twice an adventure.

BK, if the cleric is outdamaging everyone else in a 3.5 game someone is doing something wrong.

Even a wizard, though, was head and shoulders above a fighter as far as complexity.

I played a battle cleric specifically in 3.5 in a campaign lasting over a year, I worshipped a god that had a greataxe as his favored weapon and I was able to wear heavy armor, after a few rounds of buffs I did serious damage. The rogue, who tactically placed himself for sneak attacks constantly , outdamaged me overall, so did our wizard, maybe not for the first few levels but once he got level 3 spells it was over.

I outdamaged everybody in my 3.5 campaign while playing a bard. We had a druid, a fighter, and a wizard in the party. They could all do a lot of damage, but I had an army.

If you were actually cool you'd make your own system and play that instead. Being totally genuine, I played a 1e campaign earlier in the summer and really enjoyed it. There was some dumb bullshit, but there some really nice things too. I now desire anew system that's like that but with modern game design.
