Easy fix: make Abilities and their modifiers matter LESS! 15-17 in an Ability should give a +1 modifier. 18-19 a +2, and 20 a +3.

Those people are wrong. You don't just empty the whole spicerack into every meal you cook.

No, the term "Morningstar" should correctly only be used for a spiked mace (as opposed to a flanged mace). The "military flail" with a short haft, a length of chain, and a spiked ball at the end, was quite rare, both in depictions and in actually surviving examples. It was probably a curiosity...

This would call for the good old "Bend bars/lift gates" roll from 2E. [emoji3526]

It was required reading for me in English class here in Luxembourg, back in the late 90s. It didn't strike me as a contender for "best work of fiction in the 20th century". That crown goes, imho, to "The Lord of the Rings". Moght just be me, though. [emoji2369]

My gut-feeling would say "no". But that's just me.

Human Other races (Elf, Dwarf, and Halfling) are found in the Class-list. [emoji28] Seriously though, I'd go with Human Dwarf Elf Gnome (replacing Halflings) done.

Yes! I hate the fact that everyone is constantly working to get that 20 in their respective "main stat"! Make lvl 1 stats be the "peak" physical and mental abilities that the PC is capable of, and nothing short of magic can make them go up further. Or, alternatively (and I'm shamelessly...

I consider it good practice for DMs to roll all of their attack and damage rolls out in the open for everyone to see.

Are you saying that the differences between, say, a Scandinavian and a Polynesian islander are just a social construct?

Let me guess: character generation?

Definetly OSE. The rules themselves are perfect, and 3pp support is massive.

Good. If that means no arcane nor divine casters, I might actually be interested. [emoji848]

Sadly...

800 years ago, the rich and the educated planned and funded projects (gothic cathedrals) the completion of which they knew would not happen within their own lifetime. They did so regardlessly, and we still marvel at the results of their efforts almost a millennium later. Why don't we (society...

Fighter (Melee/Tanking) Priest (Divine spells/Healing) Mage (Arcane spells/Utility) Thief (Stealth, Skills and Social) Ranger (Ranged damage/Nature) Paladin (Buffs/Debuffs) Any more differentiation can be achieved purely by specialization (subclass) and/or RP.

But OSE isn't BECMI. It's Moldvay B/X I'd be happier if they didn't. OSE exists and it's all you need for unadulterated Basic D&D.
