it's a term for the principle of 'don't change or remove something until you understand why it was put there in the first place'

i think i'm basically just re-inventing spheres from what little i know of them, so instead of a fixed expanded spell list for your subclass you get to pick from a list.

secrets seems like an appropriate pairing for the other half of knowledge, concealing and redacting information.

it'd be nice if clerics could do a little bit more with multiple avenues of customization for those followers of the same god but who specialize in different areas of their domain. using the apollo example maybe the subclass itself focuses mostly on archery perks as well as a few...

there is a difference between the 'methods of deciding probability' being talked about here, in the version we are referring to it is more akin to merely labeling the odds of an existing probability, like bookies at a horse race giving the odds of each horse winning based on their track records...

you do realize they're still playing a cleric in that scenario though? right micah? they're not playing a different class with a different narrative they're just not placing any importance on that part of it, they're just saying 'yeah they pray to [god] every morning for their powers but if...

always nice to have a civil discussion with someone who respects your views.

while similar in principal there is the fact the latter has much more of a history as a known stereotypical line of those who attempt to use 'the fiction' as a shield to justify hostile and antisocial character actions.

because when you have multiple equally plausible options competing you can defer the decision criteria to a secondary concern between those tied options like 'how fun will this option be for the players' or 'do i already have more prep detailed for executing one of these options' without...

although there are probably too many spells already, i wish there was a proper full array of spells for each energy type, (and several non-energy type thematics, like plant spells and earth magic)

could we actually get the old twinned spell back though too? the version that actually twins spells

personally: having hunter's mark-a spell i know deep in my soul i will never like or willingly use-built directly into the backbone of the ranger-a class concept and design that i otherwise deeply enjoy. and as AnotherGuy alludes to, it's a much less flavourful ability compared to the 2014...

backgrounds are basically your life before your class training, the point of them is to diversify a character's identity beyond just being their class.

luck manipulation doesn't really fit into my concept of everyman, that's just another form of powers, i think if DnD actually valued these mechanics (but it doesn't) an everyman class would be well suited for menial but valuable tasks like doing research for bonuses or getting a discount on...

exactly, and it's all those times when you fail a persuasion roll and the bard tries to jump in with bardic inspiration and the druid insists they had cast guidance beforehand and, and, and... but why would the players be saying those actions if they didn't know to some extent that you probably...

personally i consider the term 'Class' to be more of an analogue of 'skillset', and while most classes in 5e do seem to come with a heavy implication of professional training* (hence this thread) there is however the sorcerer and warlock also exist as classes who's premise's exist on somewhat of...

@Theory of Games why the laugh on my class outline? genuinely curious.

i feel something like a class that starts with only a handful of proficiencies, and basically just gets a feat every other level, maybe every third level? would probably best model an 'everyman' over anything with an actual set 'progression' The Everyman Hit Dice: d8 Armour: Simple Armour...

that still feels like betraying the promised character premise to me. the everyman for alot of people IS the person without a secret hidden special sauce to make them work.

doesn't this latter part kind of retroactively undermine the idea of the character being an everyman? in most of the prior discussions where the fighter is used as the everyman this angle usually got brought up and subsequently pointed out that no, being blessed by gods, being the prophesied...
