God forbid any thinking or planning might be required...we can't have that.

Thank god for mods...

It really looks like I'll have to wait with playing until the modders get their mods out and hopefully one of them is a core rules mod that aims to be as close to RAW as possible.

Regarding D&D 5.5 next year: From the looks of it, I'm done with D&D entirely. I'll just stick to my AD&D 1st and 2nd edition books.
