I have told this story before but I love to:
My first 4e game everyone wanted to try the new stuff, but we decided to stick with the 1 of each roles. But our warlord (tactical) was Gale, a Ganassi. She used to alternate between yelling like a drill sergeant and giving inspirational quotes from...
all of it, no. But if we take all winter (4 months off) I see no reason we can't make an item or two by these rules. If we skip 5 years they could find the time to make legendary items?!?
If I were making 6e I would go back to 2e HPs, but more spread. You start with 3HD at 1st level (and how many max is based on DM and how he is setting difficulty) at 2nd level you get a set amount (1/2/3) like you did over 9th in 2e. then at 3rd you get a 4th HD, 4th is set and 5this your 5th...
This is why I am ALWAYS upfront to my players...
Session 0 I tell them (some variant of) "Look, one of the ways you can focus play is what you are good at. So if one of you has a 24 AC, they are going to run into things that can hit 24s or damage without attack rolls... if you have a killer...
thinking like this gets me into world building... "how much does it cost to ship items, how much less if you put it on a person with a bag of holding? How much less if you can reliably find star gate... I mean teleport circles?"
So I started thinking what can we do with 'up to 520hours'
80 hours and 200 gp for uncommon items 40 hours and 50gp for common ones
we could in that time make 6 1/2 uncommon items if we had 1,400gp between us.
we could in that time make 13 common items if we had 650gp between us
more likely...
We don't have 2024 Warforrged yet, but back in 3.5 and 4e (I don't remember anyone playing one in 2014 5e) they could stay up and active doing stuff during there rests and the fluff even said they were crafting.
We do have elven Trance through... 4 hours of trance=8hrs of sleep. So elven sages...
I am constantly reminded that my games are not like most but in my experence there are ONLY 2 types of games and they are extremes... either 'we have to rush no time' and no one will have time to pen a common scroll, and 'we can take pretty much as much time as we want and will have sometimes...
We are finishing 2 2014 campaigns but also have a 2024 campaign that just started (session 0 and 1 game) so take EVERYTHING I am about to say with a grain of salt...
we discussed a Shield of Shield, a Sword of Hunters Mark and an armor of Cure wounds... all require attunement could go with the...
this is the best answer I have ever heard. Yeah me and my buddies sit down, I thin I will rephrase it a little though,
We at the table matter more then setting. SO if any or all of us need a change to the setting, that is what we do...
