I just needed to vent at some of the cliches :) It's here because I don't want to come across as dictatorial. Marasmusine (talk) 14:16, 21 October 2016 (MDT)

"My spellcasting class can only use evocation spells!!! All the other schools are pointless and only MOAR DAMMMAAAGEE matters!!!" I've seen at least 2 5e classes that follow that mentality. SirSprinkles (talk) 03:07, 31 January 2017 (MST)

"I just played the best video game, and I'm confident that it'll fit right in in D&D! What do you mean that isn't how the mechanics work?" This isn't always the case, but sometimes... SirSprinkles (talk) 07:21, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

You're right. Anything on my list could work, if treated well.

There's two problems I encounter:

One is when it's a single-player video game in an RPG, and the protagonist therefore has to encompass a large number of skills or customization. For example, in the Witcher, the hero can fight well and cast spells and heal himself, etc. D&D is a group game, where each player can feel good about fulfilling a particular rloe.

The other is when a D&D class is made to fit an individual character, where classes are supposed to be broad (for example, making a "Captain America" class instead of a "Super Soldier" class in which you could make something like Cpt. A.

Then, yes, there are mechanical problems where systems are just lifted straight into D&D, instead of using what's already in the game. Marasmusine (talk) 08:01, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
