Yes he is right, but you can get thieves tools prof also with criminal background. My mistake, still if yo uget sleight of hand, so you can act as the party rogue, you would chose thieves tools prof also :)

Yep sorry, but with criminal background you get thieves tools skill also

Well I did it the complicated way also, when I let my players cast a toned down version of the rain of colorless fire to evaporate 400 orcs, I did let the party mage roll hefty arcana checks every round (because it was a scroll, far above his league being quasi a 10th level spell), and the rest...

No comment :P

KITTIY :p

More complexity of monsters is dangerous to the balance and BA. For instance I stated the orcs (recurring enemies) in my latest campaign more like player characters. That changes combat a lot, it makes them much tougher but with less damage output. I did not instantly notice it, it rather...

I houserule that a fighter can intimidate with STR, if he is a dwarf he may even use CON for it. Besides that, it really depends on the context and your DM. E.g. player intimidates a city watch to let them pass after the gates are closed, no fight will occur in any case, worst outcome is the...

Are we talking about (Eberron-specific?) Weapon attachments for warforged or the kind of thing the guy from assassins creed or Robert de Niro in the movie "Taxi driver" are using?

If you read UA Mystic3, the imho best suggestion for a true psionic class, then you will see, that they even have got one exception (like a kind of action surge), when the psionic may concentrate on more than one effect at the same time, using up some special extra PSP. I would read these...

Agreed, everything could go the middle road also though, as you write. With the rats in the basement, I like to vary stuff like that, e.g. I am tight on money and starting equipment in my campaigns, so the adventurers have to take "jobs" for their stuff and daily living, and if the job is...

Now you are splitting things up :P

Just for me: Did you understand my pun with the "bollocks" in reference of the rather jumpy movement a frog mount would have, with devastating effects to the male riders privates?

There are other aspects which do not appear in the otherwise pretty good mathematical model of @jgsugden Things like endurance and survivability of the different classes come into my mind. In the end it is the whole character, and the combination of his skills with those of the rest of the...

Agreed, but you can easily just narrate them. The same goes for big boom spells, the like which, with the exception of plot based/one-shot occurrences should never fall into the standard repertoire of player characters. I mean those who have cataclysmic effects and the like; the best way to do...

Correct weapons and armor, introduce their real names (long sword I am looking at you), Remove items without historic equivalent (leather/studded leather). Rework the damage of the quarterstaff (it should be 1d6 and two handed use only. Expand the weapons and armor list. Make a paragraph that...

Other than the pally skill of former editions? I cannot say tbh, but you can most easily create such a thing yourself : Rein of steed summoning: Once per long rest you can use this rein to summon a medium warhorse for 8 hours. The warhorse is a perfect exemplar of its kind and comes completely...

Never mind the bollocks :p Please do not censor, this album title is by a famous punk band and my borderline autistic strain makes me write such comments :)

Also @Retreater I love lower level play, especially as a DM but also as a player. The rats in the basement / goblins in the cave scenarios sound a bit stereotypical, true. Still, try different approaches, use other mobs with a comparable CR, and let them be somewhere else, and wherever that...

Playing oota atm so pls no spoilers, we started it being level 5 already, bit the DM mentioned he had to adjust a bit, because it is supposed to start on a lower level, which sounds really tough for me, no matter if level 1 , 2 or 3; the only thing which might work better at lower levels, than...

I think you and @dnd4vr took two different cases. In case 2 you fixed the worse die to the 10, whereas he did take one of those two (no matter if the worse or the better) for his computation. I think your computation would be the exact, still since it is totally clear that RT does give you a...
