Honestly Foundry is easy to use. And it is better for use for 5e as well. This is from a player and GM side. Give it a shot! Both are incredibly well supported systems for it.
I think it’s mostly because Roll20 seems complacent and has probably terrible infrastructure (where the heck is night mode???). Only reason I use it is to play 4e because I see no support ever coming for foundry since the community is incredibly tiny and only getting smaller. Once I can get a...
Feel that. Especially considering how well the 4e version plays to the strength of the system. 5e is not really well suited for this campaign in my opinion.
At least it gets more eyes on these damn good adventures though so more power to them!
Would be interested in PF2e port of this though...
That's freakin' annoying. I'm just going to make homebrew monsters that have everything I need. Referring to spell lists and other stat blocks to run monsters should be things of the past.
Paladins and Rangers are incredibly redundant for sure.
It all happened when my brother asked, "What are you playing."
"Cleric probably. But, one of the heavy armor ones like War or Forge."
"Isn't that a Paladin?"
"Yeah. I just get more spells though."
Yeah, 4e is my favorite (and desperately needs someone to rip it off!), but I'd like to see what they end up doing with 5e systems with minimal changes to core rules.
They released level 1 monk "how to build a character" article yesterday. Got me excited to try it out. Lots of fun character options. I just hope skill feats don't put me to sleep like they did during the playtest.
Yeah, I imagine it would be like that. Similar to 4e or Pillars of Eternity (for a video game equivalent) where they just had most martial abilities as per encounter powers. Long Rests would still require the 8 hours/tent/whatever though, I'm sure.
What it sounds like to me is that every class is going to get a "newbie friendly" option, but it will still be more complex than the champion. As game designers they don't seem to really subscribe to the binary martial - simple/caster - complex philosophy. And they already know the default...
I only meant that if there was going to be 8 classes and Warlord was not going to be one them.I agree in that a 4e clone without it would just go against the spirit of the system.
Ok, fair enough. However, no D&D variation I've seen has used HP as purely meat to my knowledge. And many DMs still treat it mostly as such, with low HP damage attacks just being grazes the let out very little blood. Even in 4e.
Is it because it's easier to ignore in other editions because of...
This is a very educational post.
I can honestly say I'm very interested in slowly evolving a character into a full bodied vibranium based hero, transcending their mortal limits.
