    Worlds of Design: RPG Gods - Benign or Malign?

    Interestingly, in Norse and a lot of Asian mythologies, Gods aren’t immortal so much as long lived. They too grow old and die.

    D&D (2024) DM's no longer getting crits on PC's

    I feel like they’re making the gameplay too static. We’re getting to the point where we might as well not have dice.

    Is killing a Goblin who begs for mercy evil?

    Isn’t resurrection typically a high-level spell meaning that only a handful of people can do it in any given setting? It might as well be “unforgivable” if the victim can’t be resurrected anyways.

    D&D 5E You've just TPK'd in the final fight. What do?

    Would the other players murder you?

    D&D 5E What (if anything) do you find "wrong" with 5E?

    Strength is determined by both the Score and the actual size of the creature, not to mention bigger creatures can use bigger melee weapons. Ogres are still stronger.

    D&D 5E What (if anything) do you find "wrong" with 5E?

    The only reason to use something like a 2d10 over a 1d20 is to lower the chance of failing which I feel defeats the point of having a dice roll in the first place.

    D&D 5E What (if anything) do you find "wrong" with 5E?

    Let’s save rolls like that for weapons.

    D&D 5E What (if anything) do you find "wrong" with 5E?

    I prefer the swinginess. If rolls only have faux-swing, then we might as well not have dice rolls at all.

    D&D 5E What (if anything) do you find "wrong" with 5E?

    I’ve noticed that players don’t like changing up their equipment much let alone general item management. That’s why they wouldn’t bother.

    D&D 5E What kinds of design space is there in alignments?

    I don’t see people using it. Too complicated.

    D&D 5E What kinds of design space is there in alignments?

    Restrictions ARE additive. After all, that’s why people love low level adventures. They actually have to work through and navigate the terrain rather than just teleporting to the end of the dungeon. Alignment works the same way. Whatever your alignment is decides what items you can use and how...

    D&D 5E Why do ability scores cap at 20 instead of 18?

    I forget. Why would having a lower stat cap mean getting feats earlier in the campaign?

    D&D 5E This Game Feels Like D&D 3.Xe

    Remove the Stat Caps.

    D&D 5E Toxicity in the Fandom

    Depends on what you define as “good”. You should see the Pokémon fandom. “If you keep buying the games, then they’ll never improve it.” If no one buys the games, then they’re just going to cancel it. No one is going to improve it.

    D&D 5E Why do ability scores cap at 20 instead of 18?

    Yeah, might as well not have levels at all. Then your characters can just be as strong as you want

    D&D General Why does D&D still have 16th to 20th level?

    The DM can do whatever they want with him. I remember one DM saying that Odin was Level 20 in their universe. They can easily make him stronger if they want as well. Especially since Creatures aren’t as beholden to the rules as PC characters are. That’s why Legendary Actions exist in 5e.

    D&D 5E Why do ability scores cap at 20 instead of 18?

    Because 20 is already ridiculously low stat cap.

    D&D General Why does D&D still have 16th to 20th level?

    What’s wrong with them killing Odin if that’s what the DM is ok with?
