Today, 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...21 replies | 1299 view(s)

Today, 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...27 replies | 1972 view(s)

Today, 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 | 1075 view(s)

Today, 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...27 replies | 1972 view(s)

Today, 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...9 replies | 593 view(s)

Today, 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 | 913 view(s)

Yesterday, 08:45 AMKurald Galain replied to a thread Pathfinder The grand return: Building a PF1e encounter in D&D 3e/3.5e/d20I'm curious why you're using goblins, THE archetypical CR-less-than-one creature, as a CR 10 encounter?7 replies | 571 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...80 replies | 4524 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). It strikes me that your...80 replies | 4524 view(s)

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 | 571 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 | 744 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 | 2058 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...12 replies | 1941 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...12 replies | 1941 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 | 1370 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 | 3316 view(s)

2024-05-07, 06:23 AMKurald Galain replied to a thread Pathfinder Pathfinder Weightlifting Competition in D&D 3e/3.5e/d20I've found a fun trick for this. The Equipment Trick (scabbard) lets you make a bull rush as a swift action, albeit without the pushing. A level...10 replies | 1554 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 | 1648 view(s)

2024-05-02, 01:33 AMKurald Galain replied to a thread How would you do *actual* high-powered fantasy play with D&D? in D&D 5e/NextBy the nature of Bounded Accuracy, 5E doesn't dealy with "high-powered" fantasy all that well. Instead, I'd suggest you go with 3E D&D, or...33 replies | 2875 view(s)

2024-05-01, 12:34 PMYes, you could do that. Most players in my area printed it like that and then crossed out powers they used; I was one of the few that actually made a...3 replies | 204 view(s)
