We should just start another 5e math thread :'D

I've done +str items in the past, similar to how you work yours (a fine idea it is!), but this was actually a request of a said player, they went on a quest for it, etc. So it wasn't a custom item as I've done in the past, and I had not considered altering the items as they were since the player...

Back OP's question, I guess part of what to consider here is the following situation: Player makes choices that give them a leg-up early on (capping out their main stat). Should they be able to have their cake and eat it too? Intentionally cap out the main stat, and then later benefit by having...

I'm glad the prices made it even easier to say "no thank you," because the temptation was still there even though I'd resolved not to back it.

13A 1e was a great system. What stands out to you @Zaukrie ? I haven't looked at the PDFs yet, honestly I'm not likely to for a while.

Some folk don't see licensing the property as "working with," since JG isn't involved in the design of the remake. I mentioned this in another thread, but originally when all of this went down folk on the GG Discord were incensed at the news.. but then when it became clear that JG wasn't...

So here's the thing: sort of, but also not. What determines heroism? In my mind, the monsters' capabilities vs the PCs. 5e characters can punch way above their weight class, and the difficulty of many monsters came down. In 4e and ancient red dragon was a level 30 solo monster. In 5e, it's a...

More importantly, it's affecting the rate at which you hit (in order to deal damage) and/or the enemy fails their saves vs. your spells/features.

One would think with 5e's flat math that ASI bumps would be statistically significant, rather than something to be dismissed.

yeah, I’ve had players ask to take mine medium armor feat, which also grants +1 to str or dex, but they want the +1 to go to their spellcasting stat instead. “I don’t have any use for +1 strength or dex” 🤷 it’s + to str or dex, not + to any score.

I was unaware! After looking, it seems that there are a couple bad actors/trolls on the main server though they're not necessarily new to said server. Looks like some folk are happy to have someone to agree with, though. I get it. Im tempted to back it as well! but I'm avoiding it due to ethical...

Some people want to get a win. I cheated as a kid, when I really wanted to "win" aka succeed at the adventure. Eventually I grew out if it, but honestly starting to DM a lot more often "matured" me as a TTRPG hobbyist because I became less invested in my character specifically and more...

GG is still saying that they're inclusive in all their messaging- they're just clearly more interested in getting this made than in distancing themselves from JG. It seems like folk see GG making CSIO as a win, "they can do whatever they want with it, they should run it on Dungeons & Drag...

Don't know, seems like most of the folk on the Goodman Games Discord server are satisfied with how things turned out. I was called "cancel culture people" for saying that the continued relationship with JG was hurting their reputation. I know some people want the product regardless of anything...

I don't think that's Cure Wounds' fault- I think Healing Word is too powerful given 5e14/24 RAW. A5E fixes this a bit since dropping to 0 gives a level of fatigue, but I still think that if Healing Word has to stick around, it should be a touch spell.

Impeccable reasoning! though I still don’t use it at my tables, I will say bravo.

Ok this little screenshot convinced me to check out your psion ;)

Curious take. Why would they use battlemaster maneuvers when they're not a fighter? It's either a reprint, or you need to reference another class for your chosen class. "Another subsystem" is like complaining that sorcerers need to have their own system for sorcery points.

I have to imagine that Mearls was the one that had nostalgia for the Warlord, I remember, him noodling around with design for it on his stream years ago… it was probably more of a passion thing than a response to demand. The new folk in wotc probably don’t have that nostalgia… but maybe someone...

Goodman Games has fulfilled many crowdfunds as well. If the question is “why do you like Goodman Games’ products?” it’s because the writing and style and quality is pretty consistently awesome. Their adventures are really really easy to run (I drop them into DnD all the time), Harley Stroh is a...
