how funny! Very similar path! A lot of times your posts resonate with me and it could be a part of the reason

So I go back a way but not all they way. I started with basic in 2nd grade. Had no idea what was up. The Satanic panic briefly got in the way for a while but before you knew it basic mixed with AD&D was taking place. We were still clueless! But then the good times started to roll. Late 80s...

Not sure if that “counts” but it’s a close up option. But I will also say I like strength and athletics for guys in the midst of a fight. Most of the SAD wisdom Melee clerics are not going to get out of a struggle easily enough for my taste. Granted they often take 14 dex I guess. But then...

I get what you are saying, zardnaar. It is efficient surely. However, in a few fights a day, I suspect war cleric would pull ahead. I mapped one out. A level 8 you could have gwm, magic initiate for gfb/bb and 16s in Str, con and wis. Heavy armor of course. I do like the idea of being able...

TLDR: great weapon master is under rated for war domain clerics due to its competition for bonus actions and single attacks of clerics. Likewise, It does not pair well with spiritual weapon; but we might not need spiritual weapon as much as we think. ——————————— I am a big fan of battling...

My friend also has similar concerns. however, this is myth making. People (heroes/gods) grapple with the primordial serpent. It’s universal. if we play this game, we have to let linear clear cause and effect get fuzzy. no, a few warriors could not take down a multi multi ton dragon. A...

I think it is not the description that gave me pause initially...but the art. I agree a nature focus does not make a character silly at all nor does compassion or friendliness even. your point is well taken and on some level I was already there or would not have decided to play one!

That is what made me avoid Firbolgs initially. It’s why I hate “meeples” in board games too. the anime cartoony look just takes me right out of it. Even the acquisitions inc. art seems a bit silly for my play style as well (even though it is all make believe at its core!). And likewise no...

This all gave me an idea. Thoughts appreciated... Firbolg war cleric. Former pacifist until his clan and wood were overrun and infested. He vows to take a stand for the good folk of the wood where he can though he needs some support. he has folk hero background, but has no place to...

i think the truth is that they have changed greatly and though the lore is new and fine, I feel funny about the new look

I had no interest in Firbolgs as characters until I did. anyway looking at a nature or war cleric possibly. I am curious to hear about others’ Firbolgs. I had been thinking about a variant human cleric for some time and somehow looked at Firbolgs. my only misgiving is their appearance in...

My only question is whether or not the new “setting” will be in Forgotten Realms. If it is, it’s not a new setting. I hope to be pleasantly surprised...but have my doubts. that word “setting” has certainly got the fan base listening!

That’s it!

I am using it! Nice. just brought back a weird memory! Grad school 99/2000. old AD&D player trying to find Info on third edition...and found a site with a black background. I bet that was ENWorld wasn’t it? I just remembered my old computer, a crappy apartment and the thirst for D&D info!

Unfortunately, if I say forgotten realms I think I will be technically correct. I hope I am wrong. I liked the realms some in high school. My buddy had the gray boxed set and it seemed sparsely populated and wide open! That was the reason he bought it! It seemed untamed and big. years...

There were also some creatures such as drow and other under dark minions that used other than a d6 for some surprise situations (d8). I don’t think we fully Grocked those rules!

This is it In our old games variability was a defining feature. We rolled hit points. A legendary evil barbarian of mine rolled 6 consecutive 12s! For hit points... A couple of unusual magic items changed a character’s ability profile greatly. A rogue finds guantlets of ogre power...

People are always less satisfied than I am in general. See it all the time... Somehow the rules don’t get in the way of my fun. I see this as a game and the parameters are what they are. We could really get in the weeds with what hit points represent, speed and lifting vs. regular human...

This is true. However it doesn’t say who taught you and helped you learn. e.g. I want to play a bard who learned skills from a hag—-blackish fey magic. the rules do not say I MUST belong to a bard college. Which is good because I do not to want to pretend my creepy guy learned at a college...

The internet is hilarious. if you are offended by the whack job’s comments don’t buy his company’s products. If you aren’t offended, do whatever. easy. I would not want my kids around someone who talks like that. If I wanted a product and remembered someone involved was this kind of jerk...
