Yeah. Part of the character build is spreading the triggers out so you have something you can do on various rolls. Also, if I recall correctly, a half-elf (?) can treat their d20 roll as if it were one less than its actual value, tweaking the "natural" roll scored. Choosing to possibly lower...

On the hit points issue, something like Mutants and Masterminds with its Toughness/Damage save might be worth looking into. I don't know how well it would fit what you are looking for, though. You aren't tracking a resource, then, but you are tracking a potential cumulative penalty to further...

A couple thoughts: Great for the (forthcoming, I'm sure) Cowboy (fighter) and Rustler (rogue) subclasses. Boot Hill 5E confirmed! Wizards acquired Deadlands: The Weird West? I'll just be mooo-ving along, now. In all seriousness, thanks to the OP for the work and insights. :)

Wow; long delay. Sorry about that. I'll try to not disappear. Just getting behind on other things. At least I'm playing the actual campaign. We are about halfway through level 28. But this story has some catching up to do. Here's a small dose. I hope readers enjoy it. Level 11 (in my notes...

Like some of the other posters, I am playing a goliath in a Rime of the Frostmaiden campaign. Mine is a paladin (now level 4, Oath of Devotion). He worships Lathander/Amaunator. I haven't seen any others play goliaths, though I've an admittedly small sample size.

A couple of house rules: Ability Scores: At each level where you would normally choose two scores to improve, instead all scores improve. This is in part to prevent the defenses from becoming too lopsided. It also allows for a decent progression of AC even among those few light-armor characters...

There is a little GM Plot going on. I was pretty much semi-railroading them through the introduction stuff. Or at least, I knew what I needed to introduce for the overall framework of the campaign and I made sure to intrude with those leads. A lot of the rest is player-driven, though. I always...

Rogue allies (or, more precisely, rogue-target-enemies) have nothing to do with the situation. If the rogue is hidden from the enemy, Dodge does nothing. It doesn't impose disadvantage on the rogue's attack because the Dodge action says: "When you take the Dodge action, . . . any attack roll...

I don't know if this was addressed in the pages or time between then and now, but this isn't entirely true. The "a single thing that causes disadvantage ..." part at the end is correct, but the "preventing advantage from hidden enemies attacking by taking the dodge action" part is not correct...
