That is not in fact, what is frustrating about it. What is frustrating is that you cannot select the path to your chosen location, so the game wants to crash the soldier through a window instead of going around it. Both paths use more than a single move but less than a double move. The fact...

Casters have been so nerfed in this version of the game compared to previous ones, I don't see much need to further nerf them. Get rid of the twink builds based on Warlock and it all good. ;)

These are modern people that sit behind desks all day and occasionally do this. The Tarahumara which train all of their lives for running can do 200 miles in 2 days, for example. The Inca moved fresh fish from the ocean to Macho Picchu in a few hours. See also Apache Spirit Runners. I never...

I think it depends on the point size of the font used. :)

I think you are way too conservative on what people can do. People with long legs or a fast stride can walk at 6 mph. I walk at 5 mph and one of my buddies at 6'6" easily out paced me. People run at 10 mph jogs easily for a few hours.

So for sprinting, the world record is just under 10 seconds for the 100 meter, which is just over 22 mph or 32 fps or 192 feet per round. A rogue that moves 30, then dashes for 30, the bonus dashes for 30 is running 10 mph -- hardly Usain Bolt speeds. The 200 meter sprint record is just under...

I would prefer that these are under the player's control. I would also prefer to have square by square movement as well. It is one of the things that bugs me the most with X-Com and other turn-based games is they don't let you use your movement to its fullest. In fact the whole point of...

Well the rule does limit you to one long rest per 24-hour period. Even if it didn't, you wouldn't be much use as a wizard if you took three 8 hour naps as you will have slept all day. So at most you could take two and still cast spells. But since you are a wizard, arcane recovery seems to be...

A person can always take a long rest (1 / 24 hours). However, to gain the benefits enumerated, one must have 1 hp. There is nothing preventing taking a long rest at 0 hp. Also, you don't seem to understand how trance (i.e., elves) works in game and how unconsciousness works IRL. People don't...

To be fair, I didn't say it was a "no-brainer" I said "to me, the most obvious solution is". If someone wanted to be slightly more restrictive, the raise dead spell could restore the person with 1 hp and a maximum hp of 1. They would then have to take a long rest before healing. However, this...

While everyone is dancing around this, to me the most obvious solution is to have the Raise Dead spell return the character with 1 hp. The character can now be healed from that point forward. Raise Dead requires a 9th level character to perform -- it is a powerful spell and requires that both...

But I bet you haven't been wearing the same armor, rings, and necklaces since level 3. Also talk about it at level 18. If you don't improve Valerie's AC continuously she get killed very quickly. At Level 3 I had her AC around 25. By level 18 it was around 40. At level 3-4 I was facing...

I don't think that is actually what anyone is saying. What they are saying is that if the game is going to be true to the 5e ruleset, then RTwP doesn't do that. First in X-Com, overwatch isn't the same as a reaction in 5e. It is also a big problem with X-Com because the player cannot...

I haven't been able to finish SCL. I find the game to be poorly thought out in many areas, not just combat.

I think a simpler system would be to instead of using the ASI to improve a stat, it gave x amount of points that are used in the same way the point buy system is used. Then allow those points to be saved. For example, give 4 points at each ASI. Players could spend them on Stats, Feats, Skills...

You have never played the Hero system then, which did model this very well. Pathfinder allows racial customization that allows characters to swap race feats with replacements. It is not a minor exception as it is brought up all of the time.

Having just finished Pathfinder: Kingmaker, I have to say that RTwP doesn't work with D&D style combat at all. All of the nuance of the system goes away. Just like in the original Baldur's Gate series, a party of fighters armed with bows can steam-roll almost all of the opposition. Only...

Exactly. Unless one wants to go through the effort of creating a Pathfinder like method of swapping out racials, it seems to me that players understand that no all race/class combinations are 100% efficient -- that's what makes it a role-playing game vs. a roll-playing game. There is no reason...

I think you are correct here. I find it especially laughable that people are referring to earlier editions when wizards just curb-stomped everything at high levels. This edition in particular has taken the dominance of wizards at high level while doing very little to help them at low level...

Actually everyone should keep quoting him. That way he will block everyone and effectively silence his own voice. :)
