In the same way few people openly call others racist slurs, no - but that doesn't mean there is no problem with racism, some victories are won, and the battlegrounds are shifting, but you gotta keep up the fight. In the same way, that kind of depiction in TTRPG art was the default way of...

Well, you mention the important part: Vampire was a lot more balanced and nuanced in its representation, especially for its time. A lot of it was geared at queer, LGBTQ+ folks, disabled people, and a lot of it spoke directly to women, or was even made by women for women. Also, it was often...

I think Faolyn meant that much RPG art veers into the realm of covert erotica, which is hard to deny - it's made to create sexual titillation and often has no justification within or without the game world except for that, and that's what erotica is. The part Hussar mentioned is absolutely and...

Well, you seemed to imply that people who have an issue with sexualized art in tabletop RPGs and pushing back against this being called "puritanical" or "taking the pitchforks out" are in the wrong by supplying a number of quotes from the thread, and I replied to that. I'm not taking offence...

Yeah, these comments all sound pretty harmless to me. Or is it puritanical to expect a wide range diverse art for many people and tastes in your tabletop RPG, not mainly art that arouses erotic titillation mainly aimed at cis-gender heterosexual males? 🤷‍♂️

EDITED.

Thank you for all the answers :D Next session will be this weekend so you helped me out right on time :)

Ah that helps :D So the masterwork bonus gets indeed rolled into the item bonus (armor bonus), not the enhancement bonus. Despite all defenses increasing at about +1 per level I've never had a good rule of thumb how high the total defenses for each role are on average at any given level, for a...

Right, the magical bonus to armor is an enhancement bonus, I'm not positive about the masterwork bonus though (whether that's an enhancement or an item bonus). Also I'm pretty positive that although most masterwork armor is magical, that's more due to conventions of high-magic settings, it's not...

How do Inherent Boni (in RAW, not houseruled) interact with Masterwork Armor? I've been DMing in a Hyborea-inspired world where magic is extremely rare but masterwork armor is available. So I made use of Inherent Boni as per DMG 2, "Alternative Rewards", p 136-146, and now they're getting in the...

Ah, drat, that makes things even more difficult ^^ Thanks for the heads-up :)

It's always said that 4e had good maths, but has someone ever tried to reverse engineer it? In the end they must've been using some kind of algorithm to come up with monster defenses, hit points and the damage powers do at a given level. Looking at that math in concrete formulas would be...

I know of the compendia :) I find them to be great for looking up individual powers, but hard to get an overview over a class as a whole, hence this project. By making a binder with copies of all the material in their original context we found it easier to compare classes and builds. Added...

Hey friends, my group are diehard 4e fans and we've been churning through lots of adventures over the years and still not getting enough of it. As we'll be playing this edition for many more years to come as it seems, I wanted to set up a thread where I can list all the classes ever released...
