I haven't had a chance to fully go thru the rules but does a caster get their spellcasting ability modifier as a bonus to concentration? If so thats up to a +5 bonus which will really tilt the odds in their favor. There is also the inclusion of feats that may play a needed role. Something...

Monsters are being introduced into the Basic set next month, the basic set will be getting frequent updates throughout its lifetime.

Damn work filters wont let me grab it....waiting until I get home I guess lol.

I think a better way to approach this (for me anyways) is think about the difference between natural ability and training. The trained Wizard is going to get better at making Illusions, we all accept that. The trained Fighter is going to get stronger and tougher, again that is accepted. The...

Im ok with characters having a weakness, forces them to think smarter, plan ahead, be prepared. Sure Wizards may get the drop on you and pull a surprise from their sleeve, but thats part of the story. Characters will remember that time when a Wizard locked them down for 4 turns as they watched...

I thought that if you had equal advantages and disadvantages they cancel, but if you have a majority of either then that is what you roll. Having 4 advantages and 1 disadvantage doesnt give you 3 advantages or 3 extra dice with your roll, you only ever get 1 dice to roll regardless of how many...

Im thinking I might run it Swimming with: Heavy Armor = Disadvantage, no bonuses for the (equivalent) Swim skill or STR/DEX mod. Medium Armor = Disadvantage, all bonuses apply. Light Armor = Play as normal. Swimming doesn't come up in my groups too often. People know to fear the water as...
