If you miss....did your character A: Physically fail to touch the opponent with his weapon. or B: Maybe did touch them but not well enough to matter? If you believe A, then why did your opponent dodge better because they wore full plate? If you believe B, then why exactly can't you...

They are trying to make weapons have differences...so that it makes weapon choice meaningful in the ruleset (versus just in the narrative).

Take the logic your brain uses for Fireball (Some people get hit fully, some are only grazed, and others are completely unharmed) and make it work for getting hit by a hammer.

5e is all about "Use the rules for a shield and reskin it as a cloak".

I play a tabletop game that uses a laid-down TV to show battlemaps and in which some (but not all) players use phones/tablets/laptops with electronic character sheets. The TV battlemat is a time saver and a big plus, as the GM doesn't have to wrestle with drawing maps or moving things out of...

I view the numbers behind the game as the race track the cars are using. It provides the general path and definition of the area that the adventure is taking place in, but there are times where it makes sense to go outside the lines a little bit when it gains one an advantage. So if a critical...

I like GURPSBLOPS! It might not fit the style you are searching for, for sure.

Our GM inserted it in the middle of us running through Out of the Abyss. The entire party failed their save to not fall asleep for 1000 years. End Campaign

3e was amazing with a constant stream of new option to keep players invested in the mechanics.... The warlock as we know it. Incarnum (a brand new power source) 5e style cantrips for spellcasters The alternate beastform druid Most of the Unearthed Arcana book Letting you become an elemental...

Don't forget three flavors of psion: fighter, rogue, or sorcerer.

I love any thread where someone compares 1e as being simpler than modern design. I just grab a random rules section from the ADDICT document and paste it. 3. Note that such speed factor considerations are not applicable when either closing or charging to melee, but after an initial round of...

Well hmmm....in my proposed rule you degrade 1 in 20 rolls, which matches the 20 you get buying a quiver of arrows. The same quiver could provide 20 shots in a track each arrow campaign or reload a 1 in 20 degraded ammo roll in my system. It's the same cost, the same weight, the same planning...

Using those not so well made or slightly damaged arrows was what I had in mind but you hit the nail on the head.....one can find a narrative answer if one wants to.

Earlier in the thread someone was saying tracking every arrow or infinite arrows were the only two choices. Here is an alternative. Quiver Rules (made up in 2 minutes just now) 1. When a 1 rolled for a ranged weapon attack the attacker becomes low on that weapons ammunition. 2. When using a...

I started playing around with the Dall-E Android app this weekend to generate some art from past game sessions. In everyone's favorite session the druid wildshaped into a giant constricter snake which the paladin then rode up to a pyramid occupied by Yuan-Ti. With a super successful roll the...

80% of my survey was going through every book one at a time saying if I bought it paper and/or electronic then going again through every book one at a time asking if I read or used it/and I believe modified it for use??? Not quite sure on that second option on the second run through. Since I...

They didn't on mine. They asked about 3rd party accessories (dice and such), and then asked about activity in the past 3 months. I wanted an opportunity to tell them I've been all in on Torg Eternity and why. It didn't fit in on any of the questions I was asked. I did get asked about...

OP: We should make D&D less complex because it will be more friendly to new players. Me: That's what the Starter Set is for. You: No, the Starter Set should be more friendly. Me: ? (Sounds like you agree???)

That's what the starter set is for.
