2024-05-08, 08:34 PMEnlarge specifically says that your weapons grow to match your size. Wouldn't it be reasonable to rule that this makes them a "large" weapon and...14 replies | 1378 view(s)

2024-05-08, 11:51 AMI think the underlying problem is really that, if we're being honest, Fighter lacks a theme. It's the "blank slate" class. Barbarian is a "fighter"...88 replies | 6911 view(s)

2024-05-07, 06:20 PMTo be fair, this is already true for D&D. If you're a full spellcaster, there are hundreds of spells across various different books that all require...50 replies | 5656 view(s)

2024-05-06, 04:18 AMEh, kinda depends. As an aside, I'm in favor of classes also carrying reputations, positive and negative. It only makes sense. Take the Forgotten...92 replies | 6165 view(s)

2024-05-06, 12:49 AMTo quote the PHB: It seems that many (most?) tables just totally ignore the above. I imagine a lot of this has to do with the fact that Critical...92 replies | 6165 view(s)
