Today, 11:22 AMI agree with this labeling and said as much in my survey, but I don't think it'll stick.272 replies | 12968 view(s)

Today, 11:21 AMYou do realize you're literally supporting strangebloke's point here? They weren't saying you can't run such a game in 5e, but the rules aren't...521 replies | 20049 view(s)

Today, 10:01 AMYeah - to be totally clear, the playtest features suck too. But at least they're trying. Envenom Weapons - The idea here is sound, the execution...521 replies | 20049 view(s)

Today, 02:27 AMI'm acknowledging that it has a use - for you. That doesn't mean I have to think it should stay in the game.521 replies | 20049 view(s)

Yesterday, 11:43 PMSamurai, not a single one of those quotes says useless. I want the ability replaced because I think it would be easy for something better to take...521 replies | 20049 view(s)

Yesterday, 01:00 PMAnd that's fair if you see 2014 Sorcerer as the ideal full caster ceiling, but (a) it's pretty clear the designers don't, and (b) even if they did,...521 replies | 20049 view(s)

Yesterday, 09:57 AMOkay, I keep seeing this and it's bugging me. Say it with me: normalizing subclass design to be in line with your stronger entries isn't power creep....521 replies | 20049 view(s)

Yesterday, 09:42 AMThere are illusions/enchantments that need adjudication and are specifically intended for combat use though, like Phantasmal Force and Enemies...54 replies | 6049 view(s)

Yesterday, 01:54 AMCorrect. And that's why I'd rather roll the dice, and get a (much) better feature instead, i.e. play a different subclass. And clearly most people...521 replies | 20049 view(s)

2024-04-30, 09:53 PM1) On its own the Psi-Dice would just be BI, yes. But you're forgetting that rogues have Reliable Talent + Expertise + constant advantage due to Tool...521 replies | 20049 view(s)

2024-04-30, 08:05 PMThat's just it, Soulknife has a number of these gaps too. (Even the language one - their telepathy bypasses it and works on unwilling targets, but I...521 replies | 20049 view(s)

2024-04-30, 06:49 PMThey're just going to tell you that "unfailing" means it beats all that stuff - language/species barriers, divinations, special senses, all of it....521 replies | 20049 view(s)

2024-04-30, 04:37 PMYou're the one who just called that playstyle "typical" and thus that a mechanic that doesn't fit said playstyle is "unpopular" - not me...521 replies | 20049 view(s)

2024-04-30, 03:40 PMAn ability that is inherently ill-suited to the way most people play the game cannot possibly be "very strong." That alone makes it situational at...521 replies | 20049 view(s)

2024-04-30, 12:38 PMDon't know if you mean me, but I never said the skill check method of persona creation is automatically "better" - though it actually could be better...521 replies | 20049 view(s)

2024-04-30, 11:29 AMFWIW, Hidden condition in 2024 is going to grant Invisible as well, so you're on the same thought track as the devs.18 replies | 2165 view(s)

2024-04-30, 11:24 AMI don't think it's really the game design's fault if it breaks down when you're playing with drunk people and children. A lot of far less complex...521 replies | 20049 view(s)

2024-04-30, 10:35 AMFor the most part they did though. It still exists for monsters as a very general indication of their values/likely behavior, but for PCs it's now...54 replies | 6049 view(s)

2024-04-30, 09:55 AMIt's not "completely random" - if the whole point of your persona is to help you infiltrate somewhere with limited access, then logically, the...521 replies | 20049 view(s)

2024-04-30, 09:38 AMI don't understand this at all; open-ended rules where we get to apply judgement, like illusions and enchantments (and improvised actions/contests...54 replies | 6049 view(s)

2024-04-29, 08:49 PMPsyren replied to a thread DM Help Why does creature Type do nothing? Would the game break if it did? in D&D 5e/NextI'm not saying 3.5 fans aren't allowed to be unhappy, or that 5e design goals should matter to them.

2024-04-29, 05:10 PMSo you chose the side that houserules out the excpetion clauses the designers wrote into the ability. If that works for your table that's completely...521 replies | 20049 view(s)

2024-04-29, 04:54 PMPsyren replied to a thread DM Help Why does creature Type do nothing? Would the game break if it did? in D&D 5e/NextThe big reason is that 5e wanted to avoid hidden/nested rules. A DM or player should be able to pick up a monster statblock or spell entry and know...21 replies | 2154 view(s)

2024-04-29, 04:29 PMI don't know how we jumped off the deep end here to reprinting BoVD of all things. All I said was that a round of "antihero subclasses" in the DMG...54 replies | 6049 view(s)

2024-04-29, 04:14 PMYou mean like the last "contrary claim" where you forgot Forger's Kit is on the Tool list? The designers wouldn't have written that clause...521 replies | 20049 view(s)

2024-04-29, 11:45 AMI'm not saying it's 100% guaranteed, but in most games it might as well be. DC 31 at level 9 isn't common. As for what I'd do instead, that...521 replies | 20049 view(s)
