What they said. Someone who was a pretty good wrestler in high school 10 years can likely break the limbs of a larger stronger man who doesn't expect or know how to counter him fairly easily. But that's why we have athletics and if you're really frisky expertise. Mechanically dex is so strong...

The rules of 5e preclude this action normally speaking. It is intentional from a thematic and mechanical perspective. Legolas and Robin Hood weren't holding tower shields while they were smoking fools up. And mechanically they wanted ranged users to be a little less resilient than melee. Ranged...

That is a well made and relevant point that is tied to myine, but cuts across to something a little different. Video games with static PVE content are balanced around a specific group of people of a specific power level. With some possible predetermined variances in difficulty. So you for that...

I believe his point was more that it's best for them to be on the same level as it's a cooperative game social game. Rather than crpg video game where progression is a primary reason to continue investing time. So the other players shouldn't feel like this new guy is unfairly riding their coat...

I use them in systems that have them like the 40k rpg. They're for me a fun autocorrect that means I'm sweating the scene quite a bit less. Your system sounds find. One thing though depending on your rate of lvling. Spending a life saving point on an attack doesn't seem equitable. So in 40k...

I think a large part of the difference is in the amount of time between topics. I answered slightly differently, and it's because I felt slightly different when the second one was posted.

Yeah Celt I'm really glad you picked down from your claim, and finally acknowledged you need to cast bless to receive the benefits of bless.

Okay. I meant less that it was a true story and more that it was a mundane take on what we're discussing. Thanks for the info though, was generally unfamiliar with it. I figured it was prolly something like. A fur trapper once was mad at another fur trapper.

I'm for fudging. As a player or a GM I'm not into free form, but I'm not into dice rolls being sacred. If a fight is dragging or too fast, if a PC is going to get one shot crit, if an important role misses by 1. Then, I'd it fits your table, fudge it. Now if it's a pretty regular thing...

Sounds like a hilarious moment, a good way to deal with it, and some funny ideas about how to spin it. Sword being super pissy when drawn or the scabbard of silence sabotaging them. I guess it depends on the table. But it sounds like a funny story.

Yeah that's what it was. Well, I still think it's more fun to keep the rage going. Though honestly it's pretty shakey IC. Besides perhaps saying it was a spritual trance.

Legit question I'd say yes, because it's more fun. Also you keep your mental stats, maybe it's merely a state of mind.

The Revenant has a injured person slowing down a party in a dangerous area while being chased plotline. It's the source of a lot of tension, is he going to get us killed, do we leave him behind, if we leave him behind do we leave supplies, do we kill him. It's a pretty cool movie besides but...

I imagine most things can interbreed. Humans can have orc, ogre, demon, angel, and elf baby mamas. Why not hobgoblins, bugbears, giants, gnomes, dwarves et all? I imagine some combos one parent is dominant, sometimes one breeds true. I imagine that tieflings breed true. I think book of erotic...

Well it seems we agree more than we disagree. Likely the main point of contention would be, when is the moment where it's crossed the danger line. Since we're talking about a general situation in a fantastic setting. There's not too much of a point in debating when they should cut the line...

This is my main point. In real life life guards let go of thrashing drowners, rescuers call off searches if it's too dangerous, sailors seal in their own to flooding compartments, climbers will cut a line if it's suddenly too heavy, officers will call in ordnance on close to their own position...

I also don't like the Tiefling name. I just view their integration as being similar to a number of real life groups who try to fit in various ways but never quite fully getting along. Either they're sorta on the fringes of society and untrusted but usually not actively hostile, maybe in a...

This was in response to Kahless I guess it would then be okay to carry them until it becomes undeniable that doing so is a direct threat to the party. That's fair enough, though in this particular setting I guess that moment will vary . I've seen a few stories, horror and otherwise, where...

I was thinking about this today. In real life if you're trying to save a drowning person, and they are thrashing too much they can drown you. They tell lifeguards to let them go if they think it'll get them killed. It's hard for me to find a practical difference between that and leaving behind...

For the same reason the BBEG doesn't scry and die 50 of his best killers into their camp site in the middle of the night, or have a couple dragons harry them 24/7. They're effective and within the means of many BBEGs, but they're generally unfun to deal with and so we rationalize that it's too...
