Double-check, plant growth is 3rd in 5e14 and 24

Michael Moorcock via Elric/Eternal Champions was the first to publish/popularize the "Multiverse" term with its modern meaning (it was used in the 19th century but meant something completely different).

I had this thought as well, buuut I guess the caveat here is that it's not in a book called "monster manual," you're not calling them monsters? I know, flimsy, but I have to imagine that that has to be their excuse for not including them in the MM.

I think someone here mentioned Book of 9 Swords; A5E's martial maneuvers are basically that.. except I don't think they give up much damage potential. It's more a straight-up buff :'D But it's not WotC 5e, I imagine folk want the change there.

The game's provided monsters and their difficulty, compared to the capabilities of the player characters, are the measuring stick for what's "powerful" and "weight classes" in a system. Can a level 3 group handle an ogre? Can they handily handle 6 ogres? How likely is it that there are a dozen...

They're called sacrifices! OK well yeah, that's very nice too.

Same! Except I can put off things like this for a weirdly long time ... I reaaaally loved PoE1+2, though.

I really don't love the idea of buffing PC things in 5e even further 😆 Ideally they'd be brought down in power.. but my 5e bother is PCs punching so high above their weight class, so ofc I want to avoid buffing to balance.

I guess this is one way to get people to buy the new books; it's not enough to tempt me back but there is appeal there! Where are the ice drow from that I see folk mentioning? Jungle drow I know from Eberron.

I'm intrigued by this- statistically, good rolls are as likely as bad ones yeah? So it'd give players the feeling of control and choice, without affecting the actual balance of rolls much? Well, I guess you're giving their single statline TWO chances to be good sort of, since they could roll...

Consider the way 13th Age does it? As you level up, get rid of the lower-level spell slots. You can dismiss the exact numbers on the table and just take the concept.

These two descriptions seem at odds. So some folk find it basically empty, others find it useful enough to take parts out for other games?

I just read this article about a Kickstarter ttrpg doing the same thing, and then you cite the original, so I'm gonna share the article I saw cuz yeah I think it's a great way to teach the game.

I wish them success! Anything that shows off Not-DnD ttrpgs to big numbers of players is appreciated :'D

Yup. Love the older adventures that have commentary written right into them.

Can you elaborate a little on what makes them so crappy? Why it takes so much work to turn them into cohesive session(s)?

I think the reason we look to Wisdom is because it's long been the "willpower" stat- but you're right, other stats could qualify as well depending.

Does anyone have opinions on Talespire? The DDB-Sigil alpha really made me think "oh this is Talespire but with DDB plugged in," but I only played around with TS a little bit probably... two years ago? More?
