I wonder if....perhaps I still don’t understand. Is the Meta-aesthetic we are referring to self referencing aesthetic or post hoc rule creation that unintentionally or intentionally creates an implied rule?
What I mean is...does the difference between weapon attack, melee weapon attack...
When I think of horror as a genre it is about trappings and tropes. D&D does this fine. When I think of horror as a feeling. That is created in the minds of the players. It is from the interplay between the people.
To me there is a difference between terror and horror. Terror being an external...
No, and problem isn’t necessarily the bard here. The problem might be the idea of a support character in 5e. All of the characters in 5e are so strong that support is redundant. The things bards used to do aren’t needed anymore. On average a first level fighter can hit any monster in the MM...
Give the mundanes strange power.
I mean you don’t get....
Bitten by a werewolf
Charmed by a succubus
Breathed on by a dragon
Diseased by a mummy
Bled on by a demon
Burned on by an ooze
Swallowed by a worm
Polymorphed by a wizard
Healed by a cleric
Paralyzed by a ghoul
Sickened by a troglodyte...
Magic needs a nerf...Or mundanes need a rather stupendous buff. Level 20 fighter should be like Doom Slayer dismembering fiends with his bare hands and healing from it.
Very good session last Saturday. My three players made characters in record time. A crime themed D&D campaign. Set in Eberron played like Shadowrun/GTA V. Players had a blast. I did too.
Step one: Wait and see. Your friend’s paladin might not have a problem with your stuff. If they do not have a problem you can stop here. If they do go to...
Step two: One of you must relent (or repent) logically this should be you. Paladins are a zealous lot. Pushing at this point by you is...
Sarevok is my favorite. It looks quite good.
I would probably change the sword of chaos though. Sarevok is probably attacking 3 times a round. Making saves for each one feels like a bit too much upkeep for the damage/debuff it does.
I have made two characters in PF 2. I found the process....awful. PF 2 in play is good. The character creation process is just not my cup of tea. I would rather a randomly generated character than go through that IRS audit again. FWIW I used a computer program to get it done if I had been asked...
