Swashbuckler is a ton of fun to play. I took the Lucky feat which was custom made for this class. “Oh I missed the chandelier? Let’s see about that.”

I’ve used all of those as a rogue too. But i think most people will pick the highest damage weapon as their go to weapon. 5e doesn’t have a ton of tactical depth so there usually isn’t a benefit to using different weapons anyway, at least how most tables are run.

Dungeon World does it too and it works really well. There are tags on the weapons that differentiate them. It’s not like the weapons in D&D lend themselves to people picking all different weapons (every rogue everywhere using rapier). Making them all the same damage would add more diversity...

Probably could make a custom brush that could do this. The only hard part would be filling in the rooms. Not sure how that would be done.

Wait til they find out they can be 6th level casting a 4th level at 5th level.

It’s like the old saying about advanced enough technology being indistinguishable from magic. The question for me is what is magic in D&D. It’s outside the normal realm of what people can do but it’s learnable. If it’s learnable that’s kind of science-based. We don’t understand how wizards make...

I always thought psions did have some innate talent/power. That seems like how it’s been represented in media.

i think you may have just convinced me. I never thought of it before but monks are a good analogy. Outside the norm but learnable.

This is the kind of thing I don't get. They seem the same to me. The power just comes from their mind. I didn’t think of this. You’re right it would have to be Int based.

Haha you may be right. Like I said I don’t really get psions. To me Divine Soul seems much more of a departure from traditional sorcerers than psions.

how is that different from sorcerers? They don’t control their powers with the mind? Four classes? Way too many. Original D&D had three. Fighting-Man, Magic-User, and Cleric lol.

I get that the fluff is different but compare them with the rest of the classes. Wizards get their power from learning spells. Clerics from their god. Druids from nature. Warlocks from their patron. Sorcerers have innate powers. Where do psions fit in there? Do they have unique enough powers to...

I’ve never understood why psionics needs it’s own class. They’re just sorcerers right? They have an innate power they need to learn to control. Just give them a subclass with more mind control type spells. And those psionic dice are just a more complicated version of sorcery points. Switching...

I think sometimes people get locked into their positions and it helps to step back and remember why you're friends in the first place. This is not a D&D issue. It's a communication and respect issue. That's what needs to be examined. And I think it's pretty clear that OP is going to continue...

You need to tell him all of this. Like literally print this out and read it to him. You obviously really care about him. Tell him he is a good friend but you are getting frustrated. If he’s your friend he will understand and want to make things better.

I think the reason we haven’t seen tactical combat modules released is because that’s not a focus of 5e. They explicitly designed it to have simpler combat and less about exact positioning. Why would they go back to detailed tactical moves? It’s a different edition.

True but then they would all have the flanking bonus against you after you charged into the middle of them.

Obviously you bring them back as slaves to a devil in Avernus lol but really when you all agree to use a purchased adventure there is implicit consensus that they will follow that adventure path. Otherwise you just wasted a good amount of money. They have to trade some player agency for an...

Had advantage and rolled two 1s. The very next roll the DM rolled with disadvantage and rolled two 20s.

I have players roll their death saving rolls secretly. Adds more tension. The others can’t say, he rolled two saves so we can leave him down for a while. I do wish it was more balanced so that one character dying was a more frequent event. As it is now if anyone is going to die it’s because of...
