If it can be done in a video game, like Solasta, I don’t see why it can’t be done in a VTT.

IIRC, “grit” was used in Pathfinder for the Gunslinger mechanics (similar to the Battlemaster’s Superiority Dice). Matt Mercer even ported it over for Percy’s Gunslinger subclass when CR converted to 5e. I wouldn’t mind if WotC borrowed that for new Fighter mechanics. They might need to...

…… The assertion was that D&D Fighters were not “earthlings” and that certain fighter abilities (like Second Wind) had no real life equivalents. Why it was only given to one class and no others was not even remotely part of that particular discussion. So I don’t know why you’re grilling me on...

I would need to think more about Indomitable, but Second Wind most certainly does have a real world equivalent. I used to run track in high school and I used to play a lot of pick-up games of football with my friends. In each case, there would be a point where I would start to get tired, but I...

But none of that works unless you have a high enough midiclorian count

According the criticalrole.fandom.com: Percy is listed as Fighter (Gunslinger) Orym is listed as Fighter (Battle Master)

IMO, "Priests" are holy people that reside in a church, temple, or other holy building, who spread the faith and do good in the community. "Clerics" are priests who go off adventuring (don armor, wield weapons, carry a backpack & bedroll, etc.). By those definitions, I would conclude that...

I've been doing some thinking about this and I would be all for getting rid of the Battlemaster as a subclass and just incorporating its features into the core Fighter class. I jotted down some notes that, I think, work for both 5e and One D&D: Combat Superiority (3rd level) – move to 2nd...

Except the "spiritual" part of Spiritual Guardians implies Divine magic I'll spare everyone my rant on multiclassing and its problems. I've always considered the Bard to be neither Arcane nor Divine (nor Primal). To me, they've always been a Jack-of-all-trades that can cast a little bit of...

Ah yes, nothing says "Wizard" more than tossing around Cure Wounds and summoning Spiritual Guardians /s

It has 4 subclasses, and they already said that, in the 2024 PHB, all the classes will have 4 subclasses each. So that seems to be on par with their future plans. If they issue 2024 splat books with more subclasses, maybe they'll include some Articifer ones. Who knows what the future holds?

As far as the time factor goes, I typically go by degree of success. If you beat the DC to discover the trap/secret door by 5 or more, you succeed in half the time.

Since it is still Dungeons And Dragons, I will be calling it DAD

The difference between using Investigation and Perception should be a case-by-case basis. A secret door along a wall or a trap in the middle of a corridor should be able to be discovered with Perception only (Active or Passive). But that same secret door hidden behind a tapestry, painting, or...

If anyone is interested, I put together a little Homebrew version of my suggestion. I took my existing Shaman, which was a fullcaster that conjures totems, and converted it to a Warlock Pact Magic-style caster that summons spirits. It's in a PDF, but I don't know where to post it (this thread...

I'm not going to comment on your entire thread, but I just wanted to mention this one specifically. I always do this when an enemy's AC says 12 (15 with mage armor). I'll typically have them start the combat with the higher AC and subtract a 1st level slot (assuming they had cast the spell...

I started keeping a Word file of all my thoughts as I read and reread the document

What do you think of Cobalt Soul?

Oops, I meant 4 Elements, not Open Hand (you mentioned that one in your analysis).

So which one is the trap: Kensai or Open Hand, or both?
