I’d love to see this! But I would like an equivalent to the 3e Epic Level Handbook even more. I think those were the best epic rules I’ve seen from any edition. In 4e, epic levels 21-30 were baked into the core rules with comprehensive content, but I didn’t like 4e in general for other reasons…...

So… the number of big fights per day was brought up, but it seems we came to opposite conclusions 😅 … Recovery gives two effects that work just once per long rest. It has been argued (cogently, I would say) that the size of these two benefits is a bit bigger than what Fortitude gives. I think...

Well, a wand of fireball can always be a good supplement in any shootout. Makes me think of the guy with the grenade launcher in Predator’s wall of lead scene 🤣

Interesting discussion (including the subsequent posts) about the comparison between these two boons. I think one factor which wasn’t mentioned but will probably make everyone go "duh" is: how many big fights per day do you have? Obviously, the feat which provides abilities once per long rest...

How can I bid on the contract to let them use my backyard next time they need a place to dump $999 cards? 🤗

The 2e Complete Elf's (or Elves'?) Handbook was my favorite I think. Really good mix of fluff and crunch.

Not sure if I (or someone else) mentioned this before, but I'd really like to see a fighting style for carrying a melee weapon in one hand and nothing in the other. Kind of like a more restrictive version of the Dueling fighting style (which allows carrying a shield in the off-hand). Dueling...

Yep. Thief 3 seems very strong, though of course it depends on what kind of magic items you can get your hands on. But assuming you have a few good wands handy, those BAs can really go a long way. Or else, just craft scrolls and do like Colby’s Doom Scroller build.

Well, you can't stack it as much as the other build, but you could still do quite a few more than 1? Let's say you have a Valor Bard 6, Fighter 2, Sorc 5 (or more...), Warlock X Then in your opening round, you can do something along the lines: Quickened Haste with your Bonus Action, Haste...

Mongols drained a bit of blood from their horses, without killing them, for their sustenance. They also produced some kind of ale from the blood too, if I recall correctly. You could also milk them, under the right circumstances... Plenty of ways to feed off of large animals without killing nor...

So... I was thinking about this again, and was wondering: did they really fix it? The Bladesinger and the EK both mention that their ability only works with Wizard cantrips. The Valor Bard, however, says: So it seems to work with any cantrip, including Eldrith Blast. That's only once per...

IDK d20 Modern very well. I think I only flipped through it once. But in any case, regarding gestalt, there was a built-in incentive to choose two classes that are complementary, since you did not add up the characteristics, but rather took the strongest one of each. So if you built a...

I think one potential path would be to look at it from the other perspective… I mentioned, earlier in the thread, that rather than stipulating that psionic spellcasting requires no material components except when the material component has a cost, they could instead make the Psion spell list...

It could be… There are plenty of options most tables don’t use. And there could be even more such options. Most tables don’t have an Artificer or other Eberron thingies. Most tables don’t have firearms. Most tables don’t even get to the level where the loot might contain a legendary item. And...

All of that makes sense to me. The ones who get their powers from a third party sentience (gods or patrons) have some restrictions in terms of how they can act, based on the tenets of their faith, morality, and/or the agendas of the gods/patrons they worship or pact with. This is a "moral...
