Continual Light on a gold coin (because it's classy). I miss those days.

For me, what gets me excited to play is knowing I get to play. While we can talk about the artful skill of building cliffhangers and continuations into a narrative, sometimes all of that can be a tad unrealistic, i.e. it's been X hours, and people gotta wake up early and get to work. So you...

I suppose the real test of OP is whether or not it's used over other feats, which would be an interesting set of data. How often does Alertness show up on any particular character build? Which feat slot is used for Alertness? Is there a correlation between use of the Alertness feat and the...

For some reason I get the feeling that Twinkie the Kid and Mayor McCheese are involved.

Having read all of the posts in this thread, all I can say is, "Asked and answered". If you are unwilling, or unable to parse it all together into an answer that you feel is satisfactory, that's sort of a you-issue, everyone else seems to be rather satisfied with their answers.

From the reading it is clear (to me) that the Success at a Cost rule is something that might pop up very rarely as a function creating a little extra depth to the overall narrative of the game. What it is not supposed to be is a rule applied to every roll throughout the game, and it would be...

The example in the book describes a situation where the missed attack is a success but the cost is being disarmed. Being disarmed is annoying, but the fighter can draw another weapon, or move to pick up the one he dropped. You describe a situation where the attack is a partial success (no...

If you're just going to tell everyone else they are wrong, why did you even ask? It's quite clear you're not looking for input, you're looking for confirmation. I can tell you that the results are different at level 5 than they are at level 1. At level 1, if my DM decides to play with rules...

That poster's math uses a formula that does not apply to the situation as described, but rather for calculating estimated damage over long periods of time. The cannot actually do 4.4 dmg, but rather can do 0 or 4 - 15 (average 9.5). And when taking into account the fact that the orc gets two...

I would go for the miss, if for no other reason than the orc is about to get two attacks in a row, and on a hit (about 45% chance), 25% of damage rolls will drop the player outright. If both attacks hit, any roll within the top 75% (3+) of both rolls will drop the fighter. I would want to...

Haha I read that and missed the damage thing. Yeah, that's wonky. A miss is a miss as far as I know. Was this something that you knew about before hand, a modified combat system, or did you ask if it was a specific special ability? Does the fighter experience the same thing when attacked by...

The details found under the ammunition property apply to weapons with ammunition, and has no bearing on non-ammunition ranged weapons. What I quoted applies to all other ranged weapons, such as the dart, a non-ammunition ranged weapon. Simply put they are improvised weapons when used for melee...

It's a legal move, if not a bit of a jerk-move. It seems to me that the orc readied an action (the character closing and attacking being the trigger), which would allow a reaction after the fighter's initial attack. What I would take issue with is that the DM did not describe that the orc was...

Pg 148, under Improvised Weapons: "If a character uses a ranged weapon to make a melee attack, or throws a melee weapon that does not have the thrown property, it also deals 1d4 damage." What this means is that any ranged weapon used as a melee weapon is improvised, and does 1d4. Of course a...

I kinda want to go back to ideas like using gold to be a patron of the arts for the purpose of strengthening political power. Or establishing a Templar-esque banking system. Or hoarding wool to create market demand. Things that would be fun to do, but that really require a lot of bothering...

Understandable, you make a good point. Still, in my group no one really memorized the calendar or anything like that, and certainly not the names of the days, but each player had access to a basic calendar, and would take the few seconds to look at the month, and be able to convey the passage...

For fork's sake...

I think the real issue here is that if the book doesn't even have knives, there's no chance that there's going to be spoons, and certainly not forks.

As a player I've always wanted to spend my gold on weird, non-mechanical, or partially mechanical things. The problem I've always faced was DMs who don't want to be bothered with that sort of thing, or who feel the need to destroy my investments because why shouldn't your house be robbed while...
