    Distinct Game Modes: Combat vs Social vs Exploration etc...

    Depends on the scene. A combat encounter is a complex challenge, just like navigating a maze, negotiating a peace treaty, Swaying a council or parliament or Althing to take a particular action, etc.

    I mean technically maybe but attacking is just a skill check with a weapon or soell or whatever.

    What is "railroading" to you (as a player)?

    A bottle episode adventure is a railroad now? Wild. Nah, unless you took them from what they were trying to do and made them go to the Feywild, it isnt a railroad.

    D&D General Why is the multi-classing spell slot math so weird?

    Not a great response to criticism of a system. Like...recognizing that something about multiclassing doesn't make sense doesn't indicate anything resembling an unwillingness to "accept the problems" of multiclassing.

    I should have used an emoji. It was said in humor. I mean, I said magic like dnd has, which is an extremely more specific statement.

    D&D General Gods, huh, what are they good for?

    Imagine if a culture of orcs harbored the desire to be heroic and to honor strength that serves the community and basically calls forth a heroic paladin-of -the-ancients-like goddess to lead them into a completely different society than what they had before. Imagine the world adjusting to that.

    D&D General Gods, huh, what are they good for?

    At least jow you have a place to start! Thinking about what gods might arise in a world that had them, lost them, and is just now gaining new ones, is totally different from a blank slate. Maybe gods are regional and small themed like god of this city and goddess of silversmiths of this...
