In defense of the 3e NPC classes, expert was boss AF (wait, I get to choose my weapon proficiencies AND skill list? yes please... human expert adventurers were a thing at our tables lol), and witch had a really cool spell list (iirc heal was a 4th level spell on their list? books are at the shop...

I am working on expanding the mundane armors list, and this is what I have come up with so far, if this helps. Mostly light armors, a couple medium, and one heavy which is a more flexible at the cost of an AC platemail, removing the disadvantage on stealth in exchange for a 17 ac base. Think...

Sorry, I have diarrhea of the mouth ;.; Well see that's just it, I think the encounter table works fine for the basic rules and for stock character options. At low levels you don't have to worry about things like perfect accuracy at 600 feet, bards/sorcs with eldritch blast, any class other...

That's actually why in my rambling post above I suggested to remove the multipliers, and instead add a multiplier for a single monster fight, and it would actually increase the real budget, letting you throw a tougher monster out to give the fight an actual chance of being a challenge. I do...

That is probably the best way to describe the problem with the table, but can you think of other words that would convey the intent that the encounter is more difficult that doesn't use subjective language? Like maybe "Weak, Standard, Tougher, Toughest"? With the implication being that standard...

I'm actually very happy to see the responses so far, and I'm glad that people are offering their potential fixes when they have them. This is the kind of information I was looking for, thank you all very much (even you Sacrosanct, when you're not derisive of the topic itself, your counterpoints...

Then don't participate. Nobody is forcing you to participate and you're //not// (weren't when I was reading through the posts after I replied to another poster) contributing anything to the topic.

Gradine - like I said, if you have a different definitions ^_- I get what you're saying, but that's kind of why I gave what I think fits the definition for broken, and then invited others to offer their own. I don't think my definition is perfect, specific, or anything, just what I took away...

As to beefing up the heart, I'd throw in a few helmed horrors, maybe trade spell immunity for False Appearance or something. 10 flying swords with some extra damage just doesn't seem like much of a threat for 7 PCs. 10 flying swords with extra damage and like 4 helmed horrors sounds much more...

1. LOL, well, there's a lot of broken in video games too, so that doesn't exactly help :P 2. So no rangers, paladins, ek, elemental monk, etc.? I'm just curious, I actually kind of like that restriction for a low magic game. Would you consider the UA ranger variant without spells, or does it...

I'm just saying that's not my intent to start arguments, it is possible to see something you disagree with and not comment on it. Easier said than done though :P (obvious irony is obvious) I would very much be interested in that list ^_^ I just would like to see what people have a problem with...

Correct me if I'm wrong, and since I haven't really read through CoS too much (skimmed through it a few times looking for individual things), but if you're already planning on having them meet him somewhere else, is there any reason you couldn't start the fight somewhere else? The reading is...

I'm genuinely curious what everyone here thinks is broken in 5th edition DnD. First though, a few things... Broken in this thread I take to mean as one of two things: 1. Does not function well; not as effective as it should be, doesn't perform the task it's supposed to, otherwise does not...

Let me preface this first with the following: I have not actually played a straight champion fighter, I have played a champion fighter vengeance paladin, and I only every now and again regret not going battlemaster, but that's because my dice hate me and I rarely crit, even with advantage and...

Here's my two cents: The guidelines in the DMG assume a base game experience; no multi-classing, no feats, no flanking, rock stock basic rules no variants. Given that assumption, I don't think the DMG guidelines are too far off, math-wise, given the assumption of basically stock PCs whose...
