I don't. Ever. I roll a damned character that wants to be in a party and isn't an a%&h%&e, or if they are, they are a fully fleshed out character with positive traits alongside their flaws and aren't just a stat-stick for me to deal big damage and be an excuse to be a&%h&%e to the other players...

Hey now, Kender have nothing to do with these stupidly broken Circle Casting rules. That's s&%t's a Toril/Fae'run thing. Ain't no damn spell weave bulls%$t in my Dragonlance games regardless of how much WotC tries to crowbar it into all of their other settings.

I understand what you are trying to say, and I'll agree to disagree that a dragon rider subclass is problematic or weird (it has just as much game history as the bladesinger wizard, if not more so), though even if we are accepting that the addition of the dragon pet to the PDK/banneret wasn't...

Yes. Glad to know yet again people are scared of change and the game suffers for it. RIP cool dragon pet. Frankly I'll be houseruling away that once per short rest restriction. Second wind already has a use limitation and the healing amount, even with a d4 is still nowhere near enough warrant...

It's amazing how much better a tabletop experience can be for all involved when people actually read what's in the damned books. There's a certain king of the hill meme that comes to mind here...

As I said before. What skills are "best" changes wildly on the game your are playing. I don't generally like the concept of saying someone is "a bad DM" or "playing the game wrong", but in the cases listed for DMs ruling Intimidation checks that way? Yes. They are playing the game wrong and...

Frankly this question is impossible to answer without explicitly knowing what type of play you are specifically doing for your game. At our table? Perception is by no means an "s-tier" skill despite what others in this thread have said. If anything Diplomacy is probably the highest skill. But...

I just want to know what the rules are in this system for disemboweling someone or trying to explode them from the inside.

The key reason why someone would choose to rideon horse back is mostly for comfort amd the ability to carry more supplies, not speed. Saddle sores exist, but are far less detrimental than walking for 8 straight hours. The only real way a party will benefit from speed with a horse is if it is...

Likely. Definitely. DnD aside, the sad truth is so many great games are completely overlooked simply because they get lost in the mix, or it just isn't whatever "YetAnotherGygaxDungeonMeatGrinderRPG2EdClone" game is popular this week.

Because I have to be old school and contrary. :p Maptools What it does well: It doesn't cost you a single dime. Ever. Nor an asinine subscription. This is especially important in a world where every damn battlemap now is a patreon subscription because capitalism has all but killed people...

I too would like an answer to this question regarding Daggerheart. While it's probably not (yet) large enough to merit it's own forum, I feel like it would be doing an outright disservice to call it a "DnD Varient". It is a fundamentally different game from the ground up and arguably feels far...

This entire thread is a prime example of the futility of maintaining a "no politics" rule here and expecting to be able to cover news and updates on the industry of TTRPGs. It's no cooincidence there have been multiple threads here related to increasingly obvious political related subjects. You...

Here's the thing though. The last version people down voted did do that. They just called it Hexblade's curse and made it part of the hex spell. People were just too kneejerk reacting to losing their precious critical hit at level 3.

Looking throuh the UA my thoughts are largely that most of them are good. My main concerns are the following: 1) Frankly I think the high level feature, if not a complete replacement/deviation from clerics normally getting domain spells should just be giving Arcana clerics access to the entire...
