Come on Turbine, this game is Dungeons and Dragons Online and this needs to be said. We want our D&D dice not some WoW-like terminology. Please, Please get rid of this change. This change will almost certainly make it to live, but I can't help hoping... Just my 1d2 cp

They should make it 3.5 -- dice are geeky!Quote:

I like the color. I dislike losing the 1d6. I like the effort to make descriptions clear.
if that is real then i am totally against it. DDO is based on D&D and not using dice terminology for what should be dice rolls panders to the lowest common denominator. learning what 3d6 means is not a difficult task and should weed out the people with subhuman intelligence.
if it is not real then good work on the photoshopping!
Meh, if it makes it easier. I still miss THAC0.
This just makes it easier for new players who aren't familiar with dice... you guys need to calm down. You still have your dice version right below it.
You didn't "lose" any dice. It's there beneath the new text in your screenshot:
"Delivers a jolt of 1 to 6 electricity damage per caster level (up to a max of 30 damage at caster level 5) to any enemy you touch.
D&D Dice: Deals 1d6 electricity damage per caster level (max 5d6)"
I recommend folks wait until the release notes are posted tomorrow before providing extensive feedback. We enabled Lamannia for folks to start their character copies today, and release notes and feedbacking will begin tomorrow.
But... The spell doesn't DO 1 to 6 electricity damage.Quote:

Boo. It's minor, but I hate this. Respect D&D!
They're trying to pull in non D&D folks so they have to put it in terms that are easier for them to understand.Quote:

At least reverse it, have the D&D text first and the 1 to 6 as a note at the bottom.Quote:
