Ok, fair enough. I know George RR has a much better grasp on English history than I do, but I thought in general distant cousins, etc were looked at, even with conquest as the actual catalyst for succession. I don't get any Lannister (or Stark) being in the line of succession. E.G. the current line seems to go back…

Advantage is kind of cool, but I stopped playing after the beta. There's still a lot of inflation with to hit, ac, etc, they just move the bubbles a bit. The did loosen alignment and race restrictions, especially compared to A&D. In the context of the post here, thinking about GOT characters as D&D characters is…

Does 5e allow you to be a neutral assassin? The maesters here don't seem terribly proficient. I seem to recall the books stressing that magic died out with dragons. Really, nobody has casting above cantrips other than the drunken priest and red priestess, but, judging by 5e, at least, that would put them up at…

That's one of the things that confuses me about R+L=J. So what if he's a Targaryen if he's illegitimate? Daenerys and Tommen appear to be the only legitimate heirs left.

Cersei isn't going to give up on Tommen, although I'm wondering now if he is going to die too. Would that make Margery Queen?

I agree with you that it felt cheap. It's also a little horrific if you realize that Hodor has essentially been reliving his death for 40 years or so.
