    D&D 5E (2014) Is Point Buy Balanced?

    things don't need to be the same to be balanced.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is Point Buy Balanced?

    i was listening to a podcast the other day who were talking about this and yeah something like that, though you could only increase your prime requisite stats and there were only certain stats you could sacrifice if i remember what they said correctly?

    D&D General Your Core Classes if The Core 4 Aren't Allowed

    expanding my thoughts on my choices, for the classes you've got two martials and two casters, two power oriented classes (warlord and geomancer) and two skill ones (artificer and warlock), all of them have potential options into a healer role so nobody is pidgeonholed into that by their class...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is Point Buy Balanced?

    i think the current point buy is balanced but i'd like to see the ranges increased a little for better customization, rolling your stats can get you anywhere from 3 to 18, i think you ought to be able to have a range of 5 to 16 for your point buy rather than 8 to 15, it lets you refund some of...

    D&D General Friday Nonsense: Add One Stat To D&D (For PCs)

    an interesting idea for a stat but one that works in a conflicting manner to the way the other six work and are generated, as they all work on the basis that 'higher is better', you're never going to say 'oh i wish my CON was lower then i would've gotten that'

    D&D General Your Core Classes if The Core 4 Aren't Allowed

    I’m using the DnD names but these would be tweaked slightly. 1) New Core 4: Warlord, Artificer, Warlock, Geomancer (the offspring of druid and wizard, an INT oriented primal fullcaster that uses an array of elemental, plant and spirit magic). 2) New Core Species: Harengon (rabbitfolk)...

    D&D 5E (2024) So, what does the Artificer "replace"?

    D&D 5E (2024) So, what does the Artificer "replace"?

    personally i prefer the half-level/proficiency method as it's more of a gradual increase rather than the bump happening all at once once you reach a threshold.

    D&D 5E (2024) So, what does the Artificer "replace"?

    because after adventuring for a bit you'll just end up picking up some things, it'd probably be statistically impossible NOT to, from watching and listening to your fellow party members, from chats with shopkeepers and bartenders, from practical experience, i'm sure you have an amount of bits of...

    D&D 5E (2024) So, what does the Artificer "replace"?

    i'm not talking about treadmill, i'm talking about characters becoming at least moderately competent in the areas outside of their field of expertise, the ceiling isn't raising for anyone but their floors are. 5e doesn't provide enough ASI for people to waste bumping their non-core stats, this...

    D&D 5E (2024) So, what does the Artificer "replace"?

    bounded accuracy is good and all but i don't think the 1/2 level bonus is something to get rid of either, one of the criticisms against 5e i think has merit is that a 20th level character likely still has exactly the same bonuses to their non-primary skills and saves as they did at 1st level, i...

    D&D General How Did You Generate Your Most Recent Character's Stats?

    sure, i'm just considering that there feels like a difference for considering poll results between accepting true random rolled stat generation for your character and wanting good 'randomly generated' rolls

    D&D General How Did You Generate Your Most Recent Character's Stats?

    i wonder for out of the people who voted 'rolled' how many of them are 'i'll roll and accept it if i get bad results' VS 'i'll roll until i get results i'm satisfied using'

    D&D 5E (2024) So, what does the Artificer "replace"?

    personally IMO for a book a year this is pushing out FAR too much and would end up with a ton of filler and rushed content. i would personally go for the expectation of, if a book a year: -1 new class with 4-6 subclasses (for the first few years). ~5 to 8 new subclasses or alternate class...
