2024-05-17, 03:44 PMKurald Galain replied to a thread Speculation More 2024 PHB Revelations from the GameInformer Article in D&D 5e/NextHalf-elves exist because they're a big deal in Tolkien (althought they're a big deal specifically because there's only a handful of them). Half-orcs...72 replies | 6281 view(s)

2024-05-17, 07:24 AMKurald Galain replied to a thread Speculation More 2024 PHB Revelations from the GameInformer Article in D&D 5e/NextLOL, that reminds me of way back when WOTC decided to remove gnomes from the PHB for 4E, and had this advertisement like "hey, you know how gnomes...72 replies | 6281 view(s)

2024-05-17, 01:24 AMYes, I think 2E at its height was supporting about ten settings all at the same time. ...and the downside of this is that you end up competing...44 replies | 4464 view(s)

2024-05-17, 01:21 AMDefinitely Fighter. It's also one of the strongest defenders period, and funnily it can mark on an OA (so if your OA target misbehaves, he eats a...3 replies | 193 view(s)

2024-05-16, 02:15 AMArcanist (or Exploiter Wizard) gets an exploit that does that. PF's Conjurer can do it too (teleportation subschool) but that requires a higher level...20 replies | 1551 view(s)

2024-05-15, 11:34 AMKurald Galain replied to a thread Speculation More 2024 PHB Revelations from the GameInformer Article in D&D 5e/NextWell, that sounds much better than the Catman / Frogman / Birdman / Lionman / Wolfman / Deerman / whatever-animalman that's been all the rage...72 replies | 6281 view(s)

2024-05-15, 10:27 AMTo be fair, the popular public campaign settings for both 4E and 5E (and for that matter 2E) are explicitly the Forgotten Realms. As opposed to...44 replies | 4464 view(s)

2024-05-15, 03:36 AMI'm not sure what RPG you're playing, but if the RPG's mechanics are functional then this should be resolved by itself. Like, if the player is about...20 replies | 1262 view(s)

2024-05-15, 03:28 AMI'd say the FR has waaay too much lore and this is a barrier to entry; and in addition FR suffers from being rather unoriginal due to its "everything...44 replies | 4464 view(s)

2024-05-15, 01:54 AMKurald Galain replied to a thread Backporting/Sideporting Rules - what do you do? in D&D 3e/3.5e/d20My favorite is inspiration (or hero points, or whatever you want to call them) that give you a reroll. In fact I've been using those well before 5E...37 replies | 1879 view(s)

2024-05-15, 01:41 AMThat's because PF has different rules for traits. Specifically, they give a minor bonus and that's it; whereas these traits from Fallout give a...21 replies | 1330 view(s)

2024-05-13, 02:50 AMKurald Galain replied to a thread Exploration and social - the two pillars that have no mechanics in D&D 5e/NextNo, it's really not. 5E is at the same time too rules-heavy (with its long lists of classes and feats and spells) and too rules-sparse for dealing...103 replies | 5783 view(s)

2024-05-11, 07:52 AMKurald Galain replied to a thread Exploration and social - the two pillars that have no mechanics in D&D 5e/NextThere is a wide gap between "having no mechanics" (which is a bad thing) and "being gamified" (which is also a bad thing).

2024-05-10, 04:17 PMKurald Galain replied to a thread Pathfinder The grand return: Building a PF1e encounter in D&D 3e/3.5e/d20One thing about PF1 goblins is that they absolutely and violently loathe writing. That makes them much more likely to be sorcerers rather than...7 replies | 673 view(s)

2024-05-10, 09:48 AMKurald Galain replied to a thread Pathfinder Can I wield The Spiked Fist of Destiny...? in D&D 3e/3.5e/d20Well, I'm assuming that you'll attack with the gauntlet whenever you can't use the longhammer (due to the enemy being either too close, or...9 replies | 797 view(s)

2024-05-10, 09:16 AMOh, I had one of those. Well, I was a player in that campaign, but it still didn't work. In my case, it ended up with a long dragged-out battle that...21 replies | 2254 view(s)

2024-05-10, 08:59 AMKurald Galain replied to a thread Pathfinder 2e - How does it compare to other systems? in Roleplaying GamesNo, there is a very fundamental difference between "debuffs" and "CC". You might as well claim that PF2 has CC because it redefines CC to mean...15 replies | 2348 view(s)

2024-05-10, 05:56 AMKurald Galain replied to a thread Pathfinder 2e - How does it compare to other systems? in Roleplaying GamesI disagree. 4E has far more diversity in both build options and tactics, to the point where 4E has a dedicated character role for crowd control, and...15 replies | 2348 view(s)

2024-05-08, 03:03 PMYeah, I had the same idea, except I went Bard after three levels of Soulknife. Yes. Soulknife has solid combat damage and some of the best skill...18 replies | 1463 view(s)

2024-05-08, 03:40 AMWell, the obvious thing is that you can't cast a bonus action spell and a regular spell in the same round (except a cantrip). Early in combat, I'd...22 replies | 3459 view(s)

2024-05-06, 09:54 AMKurald Galain replied to a thread Pathfinder 2e - How does it compare to other systems? in Roleplaying GamesOut of the systems you mention, the only one that has solid rules for investigation and exploration is PF1 / 3.5.

2024-05-06, 02:54 AMI really like this kind of approach. And I note that Magic: The Gathering has been doing that for a looong time before 4E was released, so WOTC...32 replies | 1738 view(s)
