potion of intelligence! Imagine spending an entire day where no one in sight is an idiot?

Your saying I'm disengenuous because what some people say and think is not what you say and think? Fairily certain this thread has established that many different tables approach the "rule of cool" differently.

It may be contrarian, but I think classes should be the opposite. EVERYONE should be MAD. No more damage/hit from dex, only str for example. No master stats that give everything. Make ALL characters need more stats than they can get. Suddenly everything is more interesting and there isn't the...

When you are replying to literally every post, and 50% of all posts in a thread are you, that shows that this isn't about the thread anymore, its about the forum battles.

Take a breath and look at all your posts together. This isn't about a "gotcha" from a 1 line post. We are looking at your entire argument over every post, and its pretty clear what points you are trying to convey. Perhaps that nots what you intended, but its very clearly what you were saying...

Why is it bad for the DM to say "NO"? DMs don't say no enough. The rules are not faulty if a player cannot solve a problem. Maybe they need something else, or its a teamwork option, or many other things. You keep approaching this that ALL challenges MUST be overcome and won by the party, and any...

By your logic, there should be no rules, if "not supported by the rules" is simply the fix for something your character cannot do. If your character has no limitations, why bother? You are approaching the game such that the players must be able to overcome ANY obstacle with ease. Why can't I...

This is what bugs me most about how so many run 5th ed (and the way the game was designed). A 5th ed game is the story about how your characters will win. All dm advice, the structure of the game (literally impossble to accidentally kill a character over lvl 2) and such all feeds into making...

Just because its hard or the players don't have an immediate single action answer to the situation doesn't mean its "poorly thought out". Maybe its hard cause they didnt scout? Maybe they need to run away and get other resources/people to help them. In the VAST majority of cases the thing isn't...

What choice is that? I choose my subclass and my ENTIRE ability set is decided. Thats literally 1 decision. I cannot change course with my class partway through, because there is no offramp, no new choices. Only an ASL which again is a false choice, because one option is usually VERY strong...

I've been seeing alot of instances of "The rule of cool" in games, and while it seems neat at first, I've started to think its actually bad for the players and the game. It lets any one player do practically anything they want, cheating the other players who may have actual abilities and tools...

I feel that the warlock is the best chasis because its the only class that has ANY choices. 5th ed is designed to railroad you into everything from level 1. Choice is scary and think of all the illiterate new people who cannot be bothered to read any of the material?! Best not to design a game...

Soo bored with the lazy writing of "the light". Its grade school writing by game developers who are unable/unwilling to define or write anything about a group. Instead is a hazy good fluffy "the light" bs. Any game writer who has "the light" is no different than games or shows that have "the...

After thinking about this, I think the OP has a very poor read on history. The troops of Charlemange were not unusually "evil" or "violent". That was everyone. Those "muslims" that they fought? They were not innocent victims. They were world renouned slavers and pillagers. All powers pillaged...
