    D&D General How would you redo 4e?

    Interesting. This is a bug for you. For me, it is a feature. I want the most mook of the mooks have some chance to do something and the most specialist of the world still have a reasonable if small chance to failure. This is what create great stories and epics in my mind. Realistic? For sure...

    Do the Non-US Players and DMs use the metric system?

    Once we are in this topic, may I ask to in a5e srd and online tools put SI units in parenthesis together the imperial ones? It is not that difficult to make mental conversions, but I think that would easy lots and speeding the play for us that grew under that other measurement system.

    Do the Non-US Players and DMs use the metric system?

    Well, most other countries around the world think metrics (formally SI, "international system"). In this regard, USA is exception, not rule ;) Said that, here in Brazil we do both. Many people use the original books (in English) and learned to use feet, miles and pounds (most of time stopping...

    D&D 5E (2024) 5e vs Oe Cleric...

    I agree. By the end, some specialities were very better than any other class to play. But yes, each god had its own priest class to play, that felt different one of another. Forgotten got at least three books to describe just specialist priest, such as Faiths and Avatars. This one is of Selune...

    D&D 5E (2024) 5e vs Oe Cleric...

    What about to go back to the specialist priests of 2e? Yes, it is a joke. More or less :p

    D&D 5E (2014) Enough about Darksun, is there anything preventing a 5.5E Birthright remake?

    As always, mileage can vary. I played a 1-year-long campaign where we were not interested in adventuring at all... Almost all the sessions were domain management, searching for proper marriage (to hone political aliances), prepare for any harsh move from Gorgon, etc... Sure, I know that for most...

    D&D 5E (2014) Enough about Darksun, is there anything preventing a 5.5E Birthright remake?

    I stand corrected, thanks. I just checked on the birthright.net site, where all we 12 still talk about BR and there, for some reason, said both must be willing.

    Of Mooks, Plot Armor, and ttRPGs

    And in my experience, all the clones really attempting to complete the mission rather than just zap one another. What creates a whole new layer of fun and laughs.

    D&D 5E (2014) Enough about Darksun, is there anything preventing a 5.5E Birthright remake?

    And not a generic rulership layer, what can be done in any setting. What sets Birthright apart is the fact that to be a king (or duke, or count, etc) is quite literally a divine right. You and your land are one and magic flows from the land to you because your bloodline was chosen to rule that...

    Both regents in the Bloodline Investiture must be willing.

    D&D 5E (2014) Enough about Darksun, is there anything preventing a 5.5E Birthright remake?

    Yes, not A kraken, but THE Kraken. And the Spider. And others. And not "monsters", awnsheghlien! :p (the terminology fluff was one of the best points of the setting for me).

    D&D 5E (2014) Enough about Darksun, is there anything preventing a 5.5E Birthright remake?

    Tangential to the thread, but I think worth to say: I would love to adapt Pathfinder's Kingmaker to be a game in Cerilia. THAT would be really epic.

    D&D 5E (2014) Enough about Darksun, is there anything preventing a 5.5E Birthright remake?

    Orogs. That subterranean nasty people. You do not want the Gorgon against you... And no, it is not a matter of I will kick his ass in a normal D&D style adventure. He will mess with you with just politics much earlier you can reach his door. And even if you reach, well, in 5e terms, he would...

    D&D 5E (2014) Enough about Darksun, is there anything preventing a 5.5E Birthright remake?

    I think one thing preventing Birthright (setting I absolutely love) is the tone down to "everything in D&D to every setting". Birthright is very restrict in creatures, monsters, items, etc. I think that even the monk class does not work very well with the setting, not because the powers, but...

    Just out-of-curiosity, which ones you consider top tier and which ones you label as utter trash?
