A: Dice increases damage, and damage is irrelevant for a Warlord. Which is the point of this discussion. It doesn't matter if damage scales. Sure some maneuvers actually benefit from this like the one that boost AC, and that is cool. B: This is a quantity issue. C: Is this some new feature...

I'm not really seeing any whining tbqh. I'm seeing some people saying "plz add this thing" and other people saying "we have this already" or "we don't need this" or "we don't want this". This thread is proof of it. I don't even care about the darned class myself. It's just baffling to me that...

The battle master is among the best fighter sub classes for sure, but far from the best subclass in the game. I will not repeat my reply up here, so see below in this post: That's exactly what I mean! The fighter scales based on number of attacks and attack power. That's why I mentioned that...

I find this absolute resistance to the Warlord class very interesting. The class itself is conceptually uninteresting to me, but I can imagine people want it. Especially since PF2 is just play testing their own attempt at this class. I really don't understand the hostility to a D&D implementation.

The fact that they don't scale. Battle master maneuvers are problematic because they don't scale properly. The fighter as a concept is designed with a primary focus on their attacks scaling. They have the fastest multiple attack scaling after all. "Why don't maneuvers scale?" you ask. Because...

The lack of classes and class options in 5E kinda sucks.

Sorry for the necro bump, I found this thread by accident while looking for a particular game, but you got to check out Nobilis. It is basically Sandman + American Gods the RPG. It's much more rules minimalist than anything in PbtA, but chargen is a bit more complex.

I've retired a character for that reason specifically, and I also know of at least one person who prefers PF2 specifically because casters are more restrained in that edition. It's not that strange really. Sidenote: If you go to any 5E board you will find people complaining about the balance...

Another idea. The Incomprehensible Machine. The item in question is a box, inside of which is some kind of mechanical contraption. The box is convenient to carry, having a carrying handle and the insides are padded. Inside is this weird thing made from gears and everything you can imagine, and...

Spells should have tags on them, rather than spell school categories. That way you could have healing, blasting, resurrection, etc. categories instead and then give the bard access to sound, illusions, enchantment and healing.

I like the Wish idea, and here's a twist: So some person, the Instigator, encountered a very powerful genie in his travels across the planes. He made a wish, and a wish of some incredible magnitude. Not just something minor, but rather something like "The Great Wheel shall be under my control"...

How is that relevant to what I said?

If I were you I would look into Runners In Shadows. It's basically Blades In The Dark + Shadowrun. It looks pretty interesting, but I have not had time to play it yet.

lol It's bad because it can make people feel bad. Let's create two hypothetical scenarios. Let's assume that there are two classes X and Y. They are both balanced. There's no way this balance can make players of any of them feel bad. They are balanced after all. Only some kind of absolute...

Then what is the point of playing a character who is good at talking? Is that relegated to the players who know how to talk?
