yeah, because apparently wizards can't follow their own CR rules. hence, wizards moment
i mean, the middle ages didn't end until the late 15th century, but i get what you meanSince my settings model medieval Europe... all correct, because the hand cannon didn't get there until the (early) 14th century.
Right. (Well, other than the "guns was only early 14th century." Guns appeared in the early 12th century.) The former thing is what "plate" armor refers to. The latter is some kind of lamellar armor, not plate--and also dates to the 1400s or later, after guns had reached Europe. "By 1338 hand cannons were in widespread use in France." "Plate armor" didn't exist until the early 1400s either. Meaning a century after "hand cannons" had been introduced to Europe.This is not in my games:

Also, no cannons or anything "gunpowder" related.
No problem. I know WotC was looking at 65%, but 60% was close enough so I wasn't going to argue it.
But, my first table shows most levels at 65% anyway, again without the (supposedly) "needed 20 by 8th level".

I don't get ithat last one. How are they a pain to track? When I play a Battlemaster I bring out my red D8s (that I bought for that exact purpose!) and I lay them down on one side of my character sheet and when I use a maneuver I physically take the dice from my reserve, roll it and put it on the other side. I keep Ki points with my Monk using M:TG counter beads in the exact same manner.
It's been known since the start that CR rules are BS.
yeah - i mean, my point was that the CR rules show you're supposed to get your main stat to 20 by level 8, not that the CR rules work, but still
"Known" is a strong word. There are a fair number of people who vehemently refuse to accept any evidence that 5e CR is only very slightly better than 3e CR. Since 3e CR was almost completely worthless, being "only very slightly better" than 3e CR doesn't say very much.
By 'known' I mean there is articles floating around saying the MM monsters don't follow the CR rules at all.
Fighter is a popular class, wizard is not. Classes don't need to be equally powerful.
Trying it be historical is another example of simulationism being antifun.
Like I said: to each their own. I happen to think historical D&D settings are a lot of fun, so I like the Gunslinger.
"Historical" is a stick to beat the DM over the head with. The gunslinger's firearms have a rate of fire that is much much much faster than any pre-19th century firearms.
