    Level Up (A5E) Adding narrative satisfaction to armor

    Awhile back I was retrofitting 5E to give it a 1E feel, anywho, one of my changes was to armor, I gave some armor types a resistance to damage types to keep it in 5E spectrum and not add to much math. so for instance, Plate had resistance to Slashing, Chain had resistance to Piercing, Padded...

    Do you remember your first RPG purchase?

    with my own money? I think Arms Law, by I.C.E ( around 82, and later bought Spell law, and Campaign Law) but I talked my mother into buying the Moldvay Basic in 81, soon followed by Expert set I bought the hardcovers around 83+

    D&D 5E (2014) PHB Humans are the most mechanically boring race. How do we fix this?

    Personally I rarely play a Human, even back in 1E ( /shakes fist at the Paladin!) But, As long as Variant ( which now also allows Feats by default) is on the table, and assuming the PC has the option to roll for stats, it makes Humans even more versatile than most other races(looking at you...

    D&D General Why do we Round Down???

    How about, if the roll is with Advantage: round up, otherwise: round down just to keep it in line with our understanding of the fractional functions of 5E

    D&D 5E (2014) Can your Druids wear metal armor?

    I think a druid would find that idea tedius or unappealing. Breaking their oath in such a way; for a ruse that they could so easily achieve within their own druidic powers of wildshape, or at higher levels, polymorph

    D&D 5E (2014) Can your Druids wear metal armor?

    Scale Mail is not always metal, and a breastplate can be made of Chitin.

    D&D 5E (2014) Can your Druids wear metal armor?

    No reason for them to use metal armor. At least they can wear more than just leather (light) armor now! I've allowed my Druids to wear wooden, chitin and scale, suffering any armor restrictions that apply . Heavy armor only if they are proficient (via feats or MCing). It's also great side...

    D&D 5E (2014) The 6-battle adventuring day, does it even exist?

    Six encounters does not necessarily entail entering into combat six times. That is the key ingredient to the adventuring day being overlooked. Those encounters could be egressed with diplomacy, they may be puzzles preventing further progress. Traps. Natural phenomenon (landslide, avalanche...

    D&D General What is the most you've spent on a gaming accessory?

    $1000ish we bought a fridge for Christmas, and spent Christmas day converting all the polystyrene into a multi-level fortess to scale .

    TSR Just when you thought it was all over.... now there’s a fourth TSR!

    Urgent Message: Calling all agents; it is believed that the TSRn has caused a temporal spike anomaly, this timeline, that will destroy the continuity. We are currently working hard to catch this Variant, it is possible this Variant is a god of mischief (albeit an otherwise impotent one)...

    TSR TSR3 Throws In Towel, Rebrands Wonderfilled

    the only thing that could have saved them from themselves, was to appear in front if Judge Judy with Jerry Springer representing them... ok, yes, nothing could have saved them...but, man! what an episode of Judge Judy that would be!

    D&D 5E (2014) Flumphs as a PC race

    firstly: :LOL: I think ongoing Poisoned Condition may be a bit OP for a racial triat? perhaps an AoE that blinds (Ink spray) or stuns (Brainwave) until (end of?) next round, recharge on a short rest?

    D&D 5E (2024) Fighter Class rewrite

    So much to digest! cursory glance, I love Parlay! I also like the idea of choosing another option instead of Power Surge, it smacks of prestige class, it's brilliantly simplified. two thumbs up! a cursory critique/question? Isn't the above offset by the fighter getting two more ASI's as...

    GM Authority (Edited For Clarity, Post #148)

    My world, my rules. Deal with it, and enjoy! Playing an RPG is about having fun, its about participating in the game, it is as much the players obligation as it is the GMs to make that happen. As well as, there is an unspoken contract ( or there should be, that was the deal way back when, it...
