2024-04-30, 10:33 AMAll things being equal, if IE were moved to 3rd level and became effectively a ribbon (given the 7 day prep time required), what would people propose...486 replies | 18677 view(s)

2024-04-29, 05:34 PMYeah, mostly because I think the clause is pretty lame. I mean, outside of your humorous example below, it's exceedingly gamist. You mean to tell me,...486 replies | 18677 view(s)

2024-04-29, 05:02 PMI think it's a little strong, but since you need to roll Hide and beat any observers Perception, it's probably fine. I'm just thinking about other...18 replies | 2081 view(s)

2024-04-29, 04:57 PMI mean, 'unfailingly' and 'caveats' are a paradox. It's like asking an omnipotent being to do something that demonstrates its lack of omnipotence....486 replies | 18677 view(s)

2024-04-29, 04:05 PMNot sure what is racist about necromancers, death clerics, or oathbreakers... Though I definitely have an issue with the pick and choose style of...54 replies | 5747 view(s)

2024-04-29, 11:33 AMI'm pretty sure that's the point of taking 7 days - your assassin is going to know all about Eaglestan becoming a republic, and now he's no longer a...486 replies | 18677 view(s)

2024-04-29, 11:13 AMMy one hope, if they go that route instead of the DMG, is that WotC outsources it to a 3PP that can actually do evil facing subclasses properly and...54 replies | 5747 view(s)

2024-04-29, 09:47 AMI mean, was it ever? The AD&D version as its own class was 'always evil' and basically amped up the PVP aspect. I would not be sad if it disappeared...54 replies | 5747 view(s)

2024-04-29, 09:32 AMIE lets you play Silk from the Belgariad/Mallorean series by Eddings. Though arguably, Silk had a LOT of personas he used, not just one. I would...486 replies | 18677 view(s)

2024-04-25, 04:59 PMI'd add that that high damage single attack is also more than likely massive overkill. There's no difference in the end between dropping something...486 replies | 18677 view(s)

2024-04-24, 01:05 PMI was thinking along these lines while walking this morning. I'm already going full bore on Ability Check proficiency as outlined in the 2014 DMG....486 replies | 18677 view(s)

2024-04-23, 09:30 AMWhat drives a poor reputation (for the Rogue class)? Expectations vs reality. That's 100%, always the reason. It's pure psychology. It's why...486 replies | 18677 view(s)

2024-04-22, 07:58 PMA problem for whom? WotC? Definitely. Removing stacking bonuses was a huge design goal for 5E. Dumbing them down into Advantage was the only move...84 replies | 6369 view(s)

2024-04-22, 04:19 PMYour solution is definitely the simpler, while maintaining most of what I was proposing anyway. I'm ok with Archery being counted as a fixed integer;...84 replies | 6369 view(s)

2024-04-19, 05:21 PMSkrum, can you describe the process of your respec? Because 18 Str, 8 Wis to 16 Str 10 Wis, plus Res: Wis, would make it 11 Wis... which isn't what...84 replies | 6369 view(s)

2024-04-19, 03:18 PMWas your only respec option Str? Otherwise seems odd. -2 Int or Cha would have been the better trade. Or, probably better -1 to each... or heck, even...84 replies | 6369 view(s)

2024-04-19, 08:36 AMFirst, I'll just say I really don't like skill granularity. By which I mean, I don't like 'Jump' or 'Climb' or 'Arcana' as skills, because it limits...230 replies | 12264 view(s)

2024-04-18, 08:56 PMYeah, skills drive me crazy too. I think it's the bounded accuracy aspect - where the roll of the die has far more meaning than the bonuses you bring...230 replies | 12264 view(s)
