2024-05-20, 09:48 PMI mean, this would still exist. In spades. It's impossible to have a literal exhaustive list of ability checks. But 1) some amount of guidance,...987 replies | 45814 view(s)

2024-05-20, 08:53 PMSee this I don't understand - the claim on the table seems to be 1) ability checks are free-form and essentially rule-less by design 2) the choice...987 replies | 45814 view(s)

2024-05-20, 11:30 AMOk is this actually true? Do you have a pg number? Legitimately curious. In the process of making my homebrew skill system, I've read the section on...987 replies | 45814 view(s)

2024-05-20, 08:47 AMI mean, true, but it's another way of saying "the DM will cater the challenge to the party and make up for the fact the rogue has less to offer and...987 replies | 45814 view(s)

2024-05-19, 09:26 PMNo offense, but I couldn't disagree with you more. Lol. You want skills to both be far more impactful, but not generalized in any way...thus...987 replies | 45814 view(s)

2024-05-19, 05:13 PMThis is exactly the reasoning that makes me so ill-inclined to accept arguments along the lines of "of course you don't like rogue! you don't let...987 replies | 45814 view(s)

2024-05-19, 01:50 PMI'm not making the case that spells are infallible, I'm saying rogues are lacking. excellent! That's the original question though,...987 replies | 45814 view(s)

2024-05-19, 08:11 AMRight. So my assumption is you're suggesting the DM should allow a rogue to not trigger an Alarm spell with a sufficiently high (how high? Up to the...987 replies | 45814 view(s)
