Yesterday, 10:58 PM@Skrum: I think it's both; the journey and the destination. And I think there's merit in both journeys that make use of magic and those that...137 replies | 6141 view(s) -

2024-04-14, 03:34 PMThe PH2 in 3rd edition also introduced the Combat Focus feats, which gave you a benefit, and that benefit increased if you had Combat Focus. And you...58 replies | 4725 view(s)

2024-04-14, 03:26 PMSeems clear to me that the OP is asking about viability, not agency. And insofar as there is wealth to spend and NPC spellcasters, we're talking...137 replies | 6141 view(s)

2024-04-14, 10:00 AMYes, this is a better example than my Speak with Dead example. It isn't "more work" or "catering" or "co-DMing" with a party with a lack of...137 replies | 6141 view(s)

2024-04-13, 09:47 AMWell, if we're complaining about how much the skill system is up to DM fiat, I'll build the bandwagon myself and we can all hop on. But that...137 replies | 6141 view(s)

2024-04-12, 08:37 AMThat's fine, hence why I referred to class features and feats. In jest only insofar as it would never happen. But truthfully, having to worry...58 replies | 4725 view(s)

2024-04-12, 07:49 AMI think it is relevant when it's used to supplement the claim that it matters. "Yes it matters, because otherwise the DM is catering to the party and...137 replies | 6141 view(s)

2024-04-11, 07:51 PMSure, but this to me seems like a low bar and not actually what the OP was asking. The OP isn't asking "does not having OOC spells change the game?",...137 replies | 6141 view(s)

2024-04-11, 05:16 PM*looks at the 5E landscape* Yeah, I think we can introduce a sub-system that says "If you can cast spells from a class feature or feat, you cannot...58 replies | 4725 view(s)
