Because its the fault of fumble rules: They always affect martials more because "roll dice for more attacks" has always been a martial thing. Spellcasters never have situations where they're going to roll multiple dice for a hit, they only worry about damage If you're targeting what is...

"Just don't use your class's features while the other classes get to throw out spells all day" is not a good selling point for including fumbles. It just incentivises avoiding rolling dice entirely There's a reason fumbles have never been part of official D&D rules, what with the turning the...

Dredging this back to its origin though, this is a situation that would have complete disengagement because there's just, nothing you can do. In a day and age when everyone has a computer I could do as you say, waste my time updating a character sheet that is, frankly, probably not in much need...

I'd hate this. Frankly the druid and cleric should be set up as enemy classes to each other. Nature clerics fail miserably at actually being nature worshipers to the point if you want a decent one, you'd have to scrap the cleric chassis entirely as its generally useless at doing it. They're...

I mean, call it my love of Touhou but given a certain ordinary magician I generally associate with broom-orientated combat, absolutely one of those things easy to associate on the combat side

The Old Boy fight, while cool, is not what people think of when it comes to your average D&D fighter. There's a reason it gets quoted in Monk threads, not Fighter threads. This is not what people expect or want from picking Fighter. Imposing it on them will just create friction between intended...

That's the thread we're in, though. The Op specifically didn't like GWM, so we have to assume the replacement weapons are ones that won't work on, to deny you the benefit of picking GWM. Umbram's pointed out its effects far more succinctly than I can I stand by my earlier comment. If you want...

Is it realistic though? A well made, high quality sword isn't just going to snap all of a sudden or the unlucky 1/20 time the dice don't go your way. Requiring regular maintenance, sure, undergoing regular wear and tear, yeah, but its not like its undergoing atypical stress and the weapon...

Its a hypothetical were you've got some sort of dedicated build and instead of having something that supports that, you get things that are useless to you. You can replace the katana in the example (i'd been playing limbus company, y'see. bamboo hatted kim has hands) with any other weapon. But...

Quake's a bit different though, because the rocket launcher doesn't act the same way as every other weapon. Its great at rocket jumping and clearing enemies quickly, but does fail at tasks that the shotty or nailgun can excel at, even if they have less damage. You also keep your weapons...

So I'm just going to put this down simply Sounds miserable and makes the fighter out to be weak and bad at their class. Also ruining people's whole reason for the build of "I want to be good at my One Thing", instead you're denying them the change to have their one thing they're good at and...

Species is always a rough thing because technically 'species' is just a specific population we're determined as distinct enough to count as different, they're not a real thing That purple was around back in 2E as the energy dragon, just never got updated

I hate to be. Me about this, but uh, that Bulgu's a bit. Very inspired by A Book of Creature's design for it, huh?

If this is some brand new creature, brand new to existence, that's, yeah, not great. But trolls and dragons are D&D staples in the world for decades now. Their quirks are going to be common knowledge, not some obscure lore known only by the most wizened sages found only in the depths

I mean, most of your average D&D settings would have most of them lying around in droves. Fiends, Celestials and Genies aren't exactly rare, Archfey have an entire other realm they can politic in for sidequests and consequences, Fathomless has a whole host of easy grabs deep beneath the waves...
