2024-05-06, 08:28 AMI haven't followed every particular of the Using Spells as Class Abilities discussion, but I'm 100% in favor of it. Mainly, I think it would break...611 replies | 27448 view(s)

2024-05-02, 03:20 PMAgreed; nor do I want to step on people's general creativity. The "counterbalance" here is that DC 10 is a high DC. Most checks should be in the 8-10...285 replies | 14357 view(s)

2024-05-02, 02:59 PMThe idea that I've had (well, at least for now, will probably change in 10 minutes) is Training: while all ability checks use one of the...285 replies | 14357 view(s)

2024-05-02, 02:25 PMI don't buy this. Abilities used in combat and spells are quite well defined in general. And then there's skills, which are apparently intended to be...285 replies | 14357 view(s)
