A smallish one but one that came to mind today: A shield adds to a character's Reflex defense. Finally a fighter can take cover behind their shield against fireballs and more!

Natch, for sure. We all do (contain multitudes). Inconsistencies, biases, inconsistencies, all come with the territory of being human. And... Exactly. As I noted in my post, I don't fault nor denigrate anyone for having an HP=Only Meat take on it, nor do I think it's a necessarily a problem...

One of the neat features of Top Secret (one if not the first RPGs to include this kind of metacurrency, and my first RPG) was "Fame and Fortune Points." Both allowed you to negate a fatal attack. The difference was that your agent accrued 1 Fame point for every successful mission; so you (the...

At the risk of hitting this equine so hard it turns into a death knightmare… I find the “Gary was lying” angle an… an interesting tack to take. Especially since he chose to iterate it not just once but separately in both books, with further allusions to it other sections dealing with damage...

Great, thanks! And I've noticed that with tails too... doesn't know what to do with them in spacesuits, armour, or anything else. But removable sheaths make lovely sense for furgonomics purposes. :)

Nice! Would you mind sharing the style and prompt to get that kind of gritty old school sci-fi milieu? (Or did I just guess it as "gritty classic sci-fi"? :P)

I think it good to remind ourselves of some context at play here to avoid some talking-past-each-other. It’s not that most 4e aficionados can’t accept that a subset of D&D players didn’t/don’t like or enjoy 4e (or that no other version/way of playing ought to exist – that most 4e players are...

All hail the majesty of the hexagon, the bestagon! :) (Gridless is cool too, just having fun...)

The math is not super broken, there's only really two things: one was monster values*, which was fixed in Monster Manual 3 and the Monster Vault. So if you use the monsters from those volumes (and the Vault republishes monsters from the earlier Monster Manuals so you won't 'lose' anything)...

That is a neat section of the DMG for a trio of reasons... first, is what you note above. Second, is the intro to the section is pure high Gygaxian in language, talking not only about the history of the saving throw in wargames but also a small treatise on the purpose of the game in creating an...

Hahaha, I think I know now how to stop the AI terminator-like invasion -- ask it to draw some Gritty Anime. :P Sir, I salute that pun. (No lie, I do love me a good pun!)

Haha, that too! :D Cool, thank you. I'm amazed how different the output a "high detail digital painting" can be depending on the subject matter, from painting-like all the way to quite 'realistic'. Though now I'm wondering if perhaps sometimes I'm not specifically using the word painting...

I really like how the armour came out on this one! (What was the style prompt, BTW?)

Of the four other characters I created, Tabor de Tannia was the only other one that has really stuck with me. He worked the rowdy taverns near the Wall, juggling, dancing, doing little tricks with fire, all mixed in with a few pratfalls. It wasn’t lucrative by any stretch, but it kept him going...
