    D&D 5E Fifth Age: A hard science fiction 5e conversion

    Sounds pretty great! I humbly submit referring to linked cyborgs as "Nodes", since they are basically just part of a hivemind, and letting them live on as "ghosts" in the network after they die, to some extent. I kind of want to build a weird reincarnation like religion around it now. As...

    D&D 5E Scared Cow: magic Weapon & Armor plusses

    I put a weapon generator together for my high fantasy game, and +n bonuses are possible results, but just a few of them. Just hit f9 in the excel sheet to refresh it and get a new result. Alternatively you can dice for it: Roll a d20 for prefix, weapon and suffix prefix weapon type...

    D&D 5E Fifth Age: A hard science fiction 5e conversion

    They are really beautiful sheets, I am quite impressed with them. I just realized there are a few errors on my sheet. The two you pointed out, as well disguise kits have managed to disguise themselves as a skill and sneak into that section of the sheet. I will circle back to it when I get the...

    D&D 5E Fifth Age: A hard science fiction 5e conversion

    I selected the art for survivor very carefully. Sure, the female character is sexily dressed, but she isn't just a schoolgirl being ravaged by tentacle monsters, she isn't being a victim either, look at her face. She's a confident grown woman fighting a monster with everything she has at...

    D&D 5E Fifth Age: A hard science fiction 5e conversion

    In the past i have heard the same about bladed weapons, for the moment it is playing out at the table and seems fine. I use basically the same rules for a low fantasy game week in and week out. In the end if it is a bit too good, well, archaic weapons are not that stellar to begin with. (Pun...

    Fifth Age: A Hard(er) Science Fiction conversion for 5e DnD

    What you have done so far looks really great! I am happy to discuss anything you need to know about the project. I am in the middle of a version update to 0.7 that will include a major reformat to get it closer to looking like a manual, as well as the constant fixes and spurts of new...

    D&D 5E Fifth Age: A hard science fiction 5e conversion

    I found a few formatting errors in the sheet, and have updated a newer fixed version to pretty much everywhere.

    D&D 5E Fifth Age: A hard science fiction 5e conversion

    Saving throws for all classes but the savage are being removed, since there are so few things in the system that require them (and the DCs are generally fairly low), it is a sore point for balancing reasons. (CHA saves are nonexistent, DEX saves are constant). The savage will retain...

    D&D 5E Anyone else think the Bard concept is just silly?

    A fun pact for a bardlock would be with the song of creation that still echoes through reality. Mix in name magic and Word spells like healing word, sleep power word etc. Sent from my MT2L03 using EN World mobile app

    D&D 5E Best Class and Why???

    I judge an RPG on how well it can realize a human fighter. It has gone up and down over the years, but right now 5e does a great job. I could build a dozen human fighters and every one could feel mechanically unique. Good times. Sent from my MT2L03 using EN World mobile app

    D&D 5E D&D Class Design Criticism

    I chose to end fifth age at 10th level for much the same reasons, and intended it to be able to be played after that so you could enjoy your fanciest toys. Historically favorite level has been six, as the power to mortality rate felt almost perfect. Sent from my MT2L03 using EN World mobile app

    D&D 5E Anyone else think the Bard concept is just silly?

    I would have made it a sorc archetype, personally. Maybe lore Bard in wizard and "power of song" in sorc. Maybe a rogue archetype as well for a scoundrely type. Then a barbarian Bard for the skald. Delete the class and let it live through it's archetypes, call it a day. Sent from my...

    Well, swords being strictly superior is subjective. A little more reliable but with the same ceiling, while axes can be truly brutal, especially on critical hits. In my home game it is balanced a bit further by axes being cheaper than swords. A non trivial factor with my rules. With a...

    Bored with the same-ness of weapons? You won't believe these seven options to spice up combat!

    How about light armor is defined as 13 or lower natural armor, and heavy armor is 15 or higher, leaving a little neutral sweet spot in the middle there just like for medium armor.

    Bored with the same-ness of weapons? You won't believe these seven options to spice up combat!

    Honestly, it was written with a humancentric game in mind, and monsters weren't a major concern. I am inclined to just let it play as it lies, armor is armor, and monsters aren't armored. Alternatively, I could see ruling armor type on a case by case basis, but I am am disinclined to make a...

    If you like mundanity, check out my gritty notes, it has a nifty weapon and armor upgrade system in it that was my replacement for magical equipment.
