Hopefully plenty. By time the players are level 11, the creatures in that CR range are either easy or medium, with hard at the max end. Not to mention that legendary creatures would be introduced and they tend to hoard multiple hoards worth in one place/dungeon.

It should be noted that the most likely weapon for a level 11 fighter, assuming random tables, is +2 at a minimum. I won't go super into the percents but the table has an 8% chance to be on a table with a +1 weapon and that has a 15% chance of appearing on Table F. That's a 1.2% chance of a +1...

Honestly, I don't think it's very relevant. Whether fighters are superior in the general sense in combat to casters isn't really a big deal. I'm not sure who brought it up, either. But I do think martials do have, in my experience, better capabilities in combat in a general sense, even at...

Not really. I voted probably 50% of my games are combat, not including time talking and joking. But martials have unique out-of-combat utility in the form of being the most resistant to any given, random event that challenges their HP or AC, as well as most physical saves. In other words...

I agree. Although I wonder about the difference between time spent actually playing and time spent discussing options or just making jokes in-between. Typically, my players and I can spend a total of 30 minutes a session cracking wise and another 30 minutes discussing what tf to do next. That's...

The trick is to ice the stairs before your house Home Alone style. And the house address is your neighbors.

The higher the risk of the driver dying, the higher the tip should be. Because it's a safer investment.

Is this what it means when someone on Twitter says they "caught you in 4k?" Also, no I'm not seeking refuge! Okay, maybe a little. Next time I won't coat myself in napalm before smoking a cigarette. My next Steve-O stunt will be living a peaceful life.

I'm in support of that as well. I'm with Crimson in that I don't like Class Bloat but I don't consider a class with a unique playstyles as bloating the system. Which is where I'm at. I'm against playstyle-wizard but no-magic. I'm for no-magic martial with unique utility. I'm against changing...

It's difficult to understand everyone on different fronts of the conversation. Because what you're saying is that you don't want to have any casting at all, which isn't what EzekielRaiden said. But now I'm not sure if, in your case, it has to be a fighter or if it's just a martial. Because my...

But you have that. That's the problem. The fighter does have the fantastical ability to teleport, fly, hide without being detected. Your fighter can, quite literally, redirect the flow of a river. Right now, in 5e, base rules, in the PHB. but because it's a spell, that invalidates the entire...

And I think D&D should improve in those aspects. The game is more tolerable now then back then, but I do think the inherent problems plaguing the system needs to go. Then it's a difference in perception. I felt like that was the case. It's not that I want 5e wholly as-is, though dungeon...

It feels like such a narrow term, though. At that point, it's not even 4 full classes. It's 3 and some change if you don't count monks and totem Barbarians as casters despite them being able to cast spells as well.

Another thing and if I mentioned it previously and forgot, forgive me. The whole "martial" and "caster" definitions are odd to center the argument about, because so many different divides could be made that make the game feel bad. "Have you noticed none of the nature-based casters have...

The connecting factor is that I'm open for new ideas and to have my mind changed. Despite what others might think of me being an unmoving, martial-hating witch who only seeks to invalidate everything from the other side, I've actually gained deeper insight throughout this exceptionally long...

Wouldn't it be better if we, as a community, brought the other systems to people's attention? I don't like Pathfinder personally, but I've introduced it to people that now play it weekly. Call of Cthulu was my first TTRPG that I expanded out of D&D for and its one of my favorite systems. If we...

I disagree. The squeaky wheel gets the oil and it is an incredibly bad look when the same forum where martials and casters are seen as a monumental problem is the same forum where the sexualization of bikini woman armor in art isn't really that big of a deal. Some people are still upset about...

I see. And it was said previously that it was a mix between expectations of past editions and interpretation of the current material. I think there has to do with mainstream appeal forming expectations as well, especially newer players. So then, the discussion goes back into what D&D as a...

I suppose the alternative is to be permissive and validate something when I simply disagree? Is it frustrating to be questioned all the time? Sure. But I want this to be a stage where you can get past the emotional side and discuss the deeper side of things. Without further questioning the...

There's a difference between not using rules and not picking options that don't fit your character. That's like being mad that your dwarf cleric has to take the stats of a dwarf because you wanted your dwarf to be an elf. Just choose the elf. That's just from your perspective. Also, using...
