I was so turned off from years of 3.5 that I won't even give PF the time of day.

I am curious about 5E though. Not that I have a group where I am anymore, but it's like me and 5 other people on the entire planet that actually like 4E haha.

5e is fun Fiend.

It's far more fluid, less emphasis on rules and clunky combat. Less time spent in combat is good, less time spent looking up obscure rules. You can't crit fail skill checks (THANK GOD), and grappling is 10x better than this convoluted mess.

Inspiration works well for RP with a few changes. My group used it so that you got advantage on a situation that made sense character wise (Such as a NG PC trying to make a diplomacy check to save a mans life), and was earned through roleplaying (Such as interacting with the world in character).

Overall, its a bit more simple, runs smoother, and puts more emphasis on playing the game rather than playing the dice. I very much like it.

I'm totally down with a Dust DnD group. As I said, I love playing, but I need people who can do it on my schedule

EDIT: The reason I like skill monkeys is because I really enjoy interacting and playing with characters rather than combat. I love trying to find my way around problems in different ways.

One of my favorites was when I was playing an Assassin. Dressed up as a guard to talk to someone suspicious. Convinced him to come with me (Presdigitation was used to fake an badge, god I love that spell), then basically intimidated him in a back alley for information. Got what I wanted, told him to leave, ditched disguise. NC characters are so much fun to play when done right.

My thing with all that though is you can really do it no matter what rules set you're using, it just mostly comes down to the individual being able to RP it. It's nice to see crit fails removed from skill checks but that's been a house rule of mine ever since way back when I found D&D, right when 3E came out. It never made any sense with me.

So, a ninja who has trained his entire life and has been literally infused with shadow is sneaking through a dark alley, and rolls a one. The drunken hobo nearby sees him? No. It just never made sense to me, so crit fails and successes on skill checks have always not existed in my games. You just use the total vs total.

Ultimately it just comes down to what your group is most comfortable with, and what you're comfortable shelling money out on. A good DM can make any system shine and adjusting rules to better fit your particular group and playstyle has been a staple of the game since forever. Some day when I have money to blow again I may give 5E a serious look, but right now I have almost every 4E book, have in the past bought every 3E and 3.5 book (thankfully I owned a gaming store briefly and got all my 3.5 books for wholesale, that was tight). I can't imagine giving them more money anytime soon haha.

My biggest concern has always been this though. Can an end game fighter (non caster) stand up to an end game wizard (caster)? That was ultimately what drove me from 3.5, and I won't engage any system that doesn't address this in some way.

Interesting fact. D&D is as old as I am.

I played D&D with my Father and a bunch of his friends. We played on a large round inlaid reason table in a round room wafting with blue smoke. Something about it seemed to make me feel very mellow.

I liked to play a Gnome Thief.

Which edition D&D do you play? Or by classic do you mean 1E?

Follow up questions:

Favorite player race

Favorite class

Favorite spell

Favorite creature

Favorite setting (forgotten realms, ebberon, dark sun, etc)

Here at CCP we only played 5th edition, once, but we're planning to get back to that.

I first started playing M.A.G.U.S. which is basically a Hungarian clone of D&D, but then - among other RPGs - we tried the 3rd Edition, which was fun. Later on we wanted to try AD&D and the classic first edition D&D, but we only ever got through the character creation phase, never really tried them unfortunately. After that we just upgraded with the actual versions - 4th edition was, and still is my favorite, mostly because of the at-will/encounter/daily powers, and because all character classes seemed to be more fun to play and more versatile using these. Finally all characters had these cool moves and abilities! Fighters would be able to do more than just "hit the big guy with my sword" 4 times in a row

My favorite race...that's a difficult question. I enjoyed playing a Tiefling Warlord, and really liked the Warforged, but I never got to play one. Dragonborn as well, I find their honor code etc. fascinating.

Favorite class - I'd say warlock I think, but single class fighters can be awesome too.

Favorite spell - any type of teleport!

Favorite creature - I have to pass on this one. Goblins are amazing in some settings

Favorite setting has got to be forgotten realms.

One of the best long-term games I ever played was 4th Edition D&D with Synerille /Syn/ the elf Warlock, devout follower of the Winter Queen /made up elven goddess of death, winter and frost, showing the world that death was not evil, but neutral, and can be beautiful/, who specialized in powers that would allow him to deal cold damage and to teleport short distances. His fighting style was ridiculous/ly awesome/, and he was the sole survivor of the party when they all got captured and beat up by slavers.

In the 5th edition - so far - I tried playing an elf cleric, and will most likely go on to a human bard for the next game. Should be fun
