2024-05-11, 05:38 PMAimeryan replied to a thread Exploration and social - the two pillars that have no mechanics in D&D 5e/NextI'm not commenting on whether 5e has rules, I am commenting on whether rules should exist.

2024-05-11, 03:50 PMAimeryan replied to a thread Exploration and social - the two pillars that have no mechanics in D&D 5e/NextHard disagree: the point of a game is to provide rules.

2024-05-02, 01:59 PMThe rules are that the DM sets the DC. Yeah, thats it. It doesn't say anything about how the DM sets the DC, which is what leads to the skill system...285 replies | 14718 view(s)

2024-04-24, 06:52 AMWhich is largely the problem with Rogues in a nutshell, yes. WotC designed a class that excelled at the entirely uncodified portion of the game.741 replies | 33759 view(s)

2024-04-23, 07:34 PMI disagree; the d20 is too much of a factor for characters that are meant to be highly skilled in that skill. It results in high level characters...741 replies | 33759 view(s)

2024-04-19, 07:20 AMAimeryan replied to a thread How many level 9 PCs needed to be able to kill an adult red dragon? in D&D 5e/NextAgain though, you're really just treating it as stand and fight type of combat on both sides.

2024-04-18, 04:03 AMThat is completely contrary to the text of the spell. Dispel Magic states it ends the spell, not the spell's effects on that target. This is one of...145 replies | 8482 view(s)

2024-04-17, 06:18 PMAimeryan replied to a thread How many level 9 PCs needed to be able to kill an adult red dragon? in D&D 5e/NextIt is worth noting that a breath attack from above is a circle with a diameter equal to the length of the cone (60ft). That is a lot of space to...46 replies | 6152 view(s)

2024-04-17, 06:28 AMAimeryan replied to a thread How many level 9 PCs needed to be able to kill an adult red dragon? in D&D 5e/NextI don't think you are using the fly speed (+Wing Attack LA speed) and breath range of the dragon that well - given that this is the speciality of a...46 replies | 6152 view(s)
