This is easily solved really, and so on for MAD/SAD issues too. Make each stat bonus range from -2 to +3 Then always make it two stats for calculating attack bonus (or skills for that matter), and one stat for damage bonus. In this case Dex + Wis for ranged (you need both a steady hand and a...

Having wielded such a weapon, lifting it up and swinging it around are very different, even moreso when you have to focus a hit so it doesn't bounce off with a weak-wristed tap.

No plan survives first contact with another galaxy...

I regularly replace it with Low Light Vision because it is simpler, and keep it for Underdark and dark-living races exclusively - Drow, Duegar, etc. any who are the 'Morlock' versions of their respective races, and the right monsters. After all the arguments are said and done, finally, I don't...

To the respondents ironically being pompous whilst at the same time as accusing others of doing so. Please read your own posts before denying things you have just said. You haven't yet proven any point in support of your contention that darkvision isn't too common in 5th Edition. Other people...

Love this... @doctorbadwolf and epithet No. Darkvision isn’t simpler than low light vision. Low light vision is simpler both in terms of mechanics and intuitive cognisance. I didn’t talk about infravision etc. and wouldn’t want to see those return to the game. No. Ambushes in the dark CAN...

Love this... doctorbadwolf and epithet No. Darkvision isn’t simpler than low light vision. Low light vision is simpler in terms of mechanics and intuitive cognisance. No. Ambushes in the dark CAN be accomplished without dark vision, and saying otherwise is patently absurd. If you really...

I would like to see this too. But I am pretty certain it will be Dark Sun.

The vast majority of monsters cannot close a full 60ft and attack in the same round, which limits your options using darkness to ambushes using ranged attacks in the vast majority of cases, or with great stealth rolls where close-up fighting is preferred. This is a limitation - whether you...

I would do this; ENHANCED SPELLCASTING You may modify a damaging spell by using your Bonus Action in addition to the Action used to cast the spell. Note that these modifications cannot be made to Cantrips. Modifications possible; Cold Damage: Spell does -1 damage per die and target(s) that...

To tackle each point made here; Firstly - the vast number of things with darkvision in the game is precisely why the Gloomstalker has the ability to fool darkvision. I didn't limit my statement to PCs. Theme only comes into the fluff of it - the character class, as written and as reviewed by...

Everything and its dog has Darkvision in 5th Edition - it's ridiculous - a very foolish design decision. WotC have added to the mass of DV races by adding it in nearly every statblock. It's like a 'filler' ability these days. They even had to design the Gloom Stalker Ranger so their 'hide the...

The Drake Equation shows increasing likelihood of life elsewhere due to the unpredicted number of planets popping up wherever they look now. Even if you say the equation is out by 99.99%, that is still many civilisations in the Universe, never mind life. If you believe we are alone based on...

All three fighters have girdles of storm giant strength... Good lord - what campaign is this supposed to be IN? The point stands. This is a whiteroom monster and no actual campaign would warrants it's use UNLESS as a world ending monster, or in the extreme corner case that from low level the...

1) OK then - the wizards die even faster - check. 2) Disintegrate is a RAY - and you don't want to go using rays on Big T..... 3) So what? They run out of effective spell slots a VERY long time before Big T. has so much as a scratch on the paintwork!! Also - you have the three Fighters at...

1) Read the epic advancement rules in the DMG. 2) 20th or below? I have just shown how 4 30th lvl damage-specialised wizards cannot kill the T. with the best (by far) damaging spell in the game... 3) Other spell will be less effective the way you have this monster statted - check them all out...

Precisely my point.

The authorities are in on it and derail the investigators subtly, or cast magic on their behalf and lie about the results, or report on the parties activities and warn the criminals, or put THEM under investigation on trumped up charges. So many ways to derail the investigators.

990 HP/ 30HP/round regeneration and 21+4 damage per round each from 4 x 30th level Evoker Wizards dropping Meteor Swarm on the Big T. - who have all taken an extra 9 9th level spells and of course the 24 Int possible with the epic rules. 1st round: 920 HP after 4 Meteor Swarms 2nd round: 850 HP...
