My experience is they're bad even if you specialize. The entire class is balanced around PF2E's trademark white room theorycrafting, where it only barely equals bow DPS based on crits. If you don't crit you deal negligible damage. But crits are random without static damage bonuses, so even on a...

V-tude needs to be tossed out the window in D&D with regards to what its like on Earth. A single dwarven smith lives hundreds of years. He's been making full plate longer than it was used in our world. An elven smith operates for like 500 years. Any item is going to be near infinitely better...

Its such a pissant amount of damage. Lets bog down the game making saves for single digit damage at 10th level, because the game doesnt play slow enough as is then. WOTC, for a limited use damage ability, it should deal around 2-3 times the character level or GTFO. At 7th level all the...

How the hell does WOTC still not understand what amount of damage is significant? They keep acting like single digit damage matters after 1st level. Take the hellknight. OK, so you deal an extra d6 damage con times per short rest and light them on fire. Pretty mid. But then at 7th level if you...

I really don't know why they didnt do this as an animated series with the original cast, given the success of Critical Role's shows on Amazon. Do they think we nerds wont watch cartoons?

Honestly, I'd just give them half their resources and say they blew them on off camera battles getting to this point, then start the 2-3 encounters you actually want to play through.

This has literally never happened.

This is where you just say "Hey, this one's for the warlord" to the group. Or make the item warlord only. Its ok to tip the scales with loot.

Jeez, I just noticed Horrid Wilting deals a pathetic 10d8 as an 8th level spell. Can someone tell wizards to stop using damage values from 40 years ago? Ogres don't have 18 HP anymore.

It may be worth noting that monster AC's are so pathetic now that the shooter would hit many creatures on a 4 or better, assuming 18 dex and archery fighting style (+10). Decent idea but I would (jokingly) give it to Strength since WOTC decided it's the new dump stat. Charisma characters...

I'm going to be boring and say Ninja should be a background, with proficiency in Acrobatics, Stealth, the clan secret language/hand signals, and either Poisoners kit or Disguise kit. Maybe each clan could offer a different feat? Alert, Lucky and Skilled all fit, and Magic initiate goes a long...

Maybe they can use AI to write code that allows for basic houserule items, like a longsword that deals 2d8 damage or something that adds spellcasting modifier to damage, since the humans running DDB have been unable to do so. DDB draws in millions and sucks so much.

If you hit and dealt 4 damage to something with 40+ HP, would it really feel any better? I think its more an issue that your players apparently cant sit outside the spotlight for a few minutes.

You can print the cards yourself for next to nothing or buy high quality proxies for slightly more. Without collectibility, why would people buy the expensive packs? Moreover, why would they buy BOXES of packs?

Yes. When you're selling a collectible, once it becomes apparent the collectibility is gone, it reduces the incentive for future purchases. They're endangering a core aspect of the product that has sustained it for 30+ years for a temporary cash injection. MtG is a trading card game built on...
