I like 5e because I don't know anyone to play 3.5e with

Sounds like you don't actually like 5e, but that you enjoy spending time with your group either way.
>>
>>97809897
Same but for 4th. Least you've got the general.
>>
>>97809897
What worldbuilding?
>>
My gm tried to adapt our 3.5/pf1e game to 5e and I ended hating it because it literally butchered my monk and made the barbarian better at my role in the group (combat maneuvers guy). Never went back to it

If the game started from 0 and I played a different class maybe I would have liked it, but that campaign soured 5e for me

Try asking /qst/

Something brilliant about 5e is that it makes onboarding 3e players more streamlined.
>>
>>97810214
What quests are like in your setting?
>>
>>97810057
That sounds like a terrible idea lol. Of course many characters aren't going to translate well to a new system.
>>
>>97809897
>3.5e
Play AD&D 2e the way God intended.
>>
>>97809897
Good news, 3.5 is just as shit as 5e and every other version of D&D that Wizards of the Coast has bastardized, so you're not missing out on anything.

That being said, you really should be playing better systems. Tell your friends to quit being faggots.

Name one system to try

May I ask what you could do that couldn't be replicated in 5e?
>>
>>97815767
Ignoring items and magic items and from memory (don't have my sheets on me right now), in 3.5/pf1e
Bonus to trip and grapple well above the barbarian's BAB+Raging Str
Whenever I tripped someone they provoked AoO twice
Whenever I grappled someone I could trip them for free
I had 6 AoOs
I had reach 10ft for AoOs
My speed was 135ft
I could jump clean 90+ft distance on a roll of 10 on the d20 and 20+ft high on the same roll

My only problem was damage, unarmed strikes can't compete with weapons (only add str once, count as 1handed for power attack and similar stuff, etc) so I couldn't help much to damage monsters with Damage Resistance (DR) of like 10, so my maneuvers were very useful

Now in 5e:
I moved like 50ft at the same level (so a loss of 85 to movement) my jump distance was 12ft (instead of 90) and like 5ft high (instead of 20) so my mobility and verticality was shit, even when wasting ki points every turn it meant nothing. In fact the barb moved 40ft I think and could jump more than me without spending resources because jump in 5e is solely dependant on your str score
I only had 1 AoO and no reach, and standing up doesn't provoke on 5e so it didn't synergize with trip
I couldn't for the love of god trip or grapple anything that wasn't a goblin or a kobold and the barbarian could trip and grapple without problems
Also the barbarian was outdamaging me haaaaaaard in a proportion way higher than 3.5/pf1e
I only existed as a stun gun and only for like a couple of turns and didn't even work everytime

I had 0 fun
