Yeah so the question for me, what about the ranger are you seeking that you need to get those levels? Skills can be convered by a background or a feat. Looking at the ranger's general ability list: 1) Deft Explorer: Geralt doesn't seem to be a big linguist, and while he is skilled he doesn't...

well if the players are doing it well, not very often:)

Its mainly used in our campaigns to defang a spellcaster when they have been capture. Alright tie up teh wizard, remove his staff, that should keep him docile. That kind of thing.

The trick with me is...I don't think Geralt is using the vast majority of the ranger kit, at least not narratively (I am mainly going off the tv show, so perhaps the game is a lot more "rangery". Most of the naturey ranger spells Geralt doesn't use. The ones he does are much more in line with...

Fighter with eldritch knight seems to cover all of the spell and fighting needs. Use a background to get the survival esque skills he needs. What is that really missing?

The dozens of posts about how difficult it can be to maintain high level dnd campaigns leaves my skeptical….because SG1 at its core is a dnd adventuring campaign

When SGU had the episode were someone got pregnant and I immediately had a flashback of SG1 200 episode where they had that same scene in a mocking way for how silly it was..,I never recovered. Its other big issue was lack of a real villain. BSG had the cyclons chasing as the ever present...

3e…level 3 to 16 in two ish years

I'm glad its not a reboot, but one thing I am worried is how "OP" Earth was by the end of the first series. Effectively SG is a big dnd adventure, the group starts out at 1st level, and by the end its a full 20th level series....teleports, super space ships, advanced weapons. The question of...

The idea that Gargoyles are grown from their environment and that this influences their look and abilities is pretty solid, I like that a lot.

Well they are doing it for Jason Mamoa (he will not be Aquaman but instead will be Lobo)....so I think that is what spured the question. now personally, I do think its silly to remove your old leads...just to put them in new roles. I respect if your starting fresh that you want to be new...

Its the classic problem with using any simple model to try and emulate the complexities of real people. For example charisma oftens is used as: 1) The "beauty" stat 2) The "force of personality" stat 3) The "strength of your soul" stat and of course, there are beautiful people that couldn't...

I could see a concept such as: The alien overlord comes in, and the Pluribus is ready to serve. But...they have grown accomstomed to serving the 12, and the 12 leverage their authority to convince the Pluribus to resist the alien influence. And so Carol, who once was trying to defeat teh...

I think the Helen aspect somewhat answers this. Helen is "dead", but to the hive mind all of her thoughts and memories are still with them. So they lost a small amount of useful productivity in the form of one less worker....but nothing "important" has been lost (we dust off thousands of cells...

I think the key question is, is it really "human consciousness?" They certainly have all of our knowledge, but they act nothing like humans that we know. Do they actually experience anything like a human does? Its hard to say.

Two episodes in, so far definately enjoying the premise. I'm....still not sure on the other 5 people. I get it, there are going to be a few people that go with the flow (and some cultures value the group over the individual much higher than western culture so there is that element), but everyone...

I don’t believe so. Might have been a few powers that allowed it, but in general you could not move 2 squares, so a power, and then move the rest of your speed.

No. Letting the players break up their movement and attacks was one of the greatest changes 5e made. It’s more intuitive, it creates more mobility in combat, it’s just plain more fun. It’s one of the main reasons I would not want to play 3.5 again (even if it was epic 6 3.5 which is my...

I think the notion that enough players will: 1) Be able to pick these specific magic items (5e still operates under the notion that the DM, not the players, choose the magic items) 2) Have the attunement slots to grab these items and haven't opted for something else. 3) Will spend one of their...

I disagree. 1) save boosting spells are pretty rare. It’s one kd the reasons my group likes bless even at high levels, it’s one of the few ways to boost saves. 2) few magic items give more than a +1 to save, and players don’t often have control over what they get. 3) stat boosters are not...
