I think you're going to have to find a better example than that. That's a less than two-second "sure" or "nope" and move on situation. I wouldn't even bother to look up Fast Hands on that adjudication and its one of those cases where IMHO is why you have a DM instead of some parser in the...

My RPG life is homebrew. I can't count the hours, ink and paper I've used up developing my own homebrew stuff. Even some of my own RPGs over the years. Just for 5E I'm sitting on 3 MM's worth of homebrew monster, a 600 page customized version of the 5E rules and about the same amount of pages...

I will say that the way some sections/rules are written in 2024 come across very bizarre and stilted - even to the point they seem to dance around the subject instead of just blurting out what needs to be said*. In most cases, I find myself preferring the 2014 wording which is often more...

I've always kind of seen the Sahaugin and Kuo-Toa as from the same family - perhaps one singular race in the past that had a mighty empire, but it fell. The Kuo-Toa fell into despair and retreated to the underworld, dreaming and lost in the glory of the lost empire. Meanwhile the Sahaugin...

Way more the level system uses the zero to hero trope, not the class system. The D&D class system is essentially a point-buy system where your points are allocated for you, rather than letting you spend them where you want. The class system can work in other areas, but for me it's just like...

You never quite know what is going to succeed or fail ahead of time. I seem to remember when Baldur Gate 3 was in beta or pre-release there were a lot of folks unhappy with the state of it. Way back ago, they did release Descent In Avernus to be put out around the time the game was being...

I think Keywords help in many areas, but it's too easy to fall into the Overused Condition.

In my game, I've prevented mending from working on anything that has a Damage Threshold (DT) as I feel it's become the same issue as Cure Minor Wounds in the 3E era. I've further created a Repair spell akin to Cure Wounds that repairs objects of 1d10 hit points per spell level. Most objects of...

Air-gel could be thing too, like from The Abyss, allowing areas for surface races to visit that are filled with Airy Water or the like. Surface races could be also given mimetic breathers to visits the shallow areas, though there might be air-filled areas for long-term guests. Another...

I think I still have that in my storage unit somewhere, along with the Everquest RPG. (...And the StarCraft Alternity set) As for 3E/3.5E, I tend to lump that together in one system when I'm talking about it. I used a lot of 3E stuff in my 3.5E games so I rarely bother to differentiate.

Diablo is a shoe-in, I mean it's been done before for both 2E and 3E. And I recall there was a 3E version of World of Warcraft in the past, so that's definitely something that could be brought to life once again. Can't comment on Overwatch as I haven't played/know much about the property, but...

Well, for Transformers (& GI Joe), Renegade has done fairly well with their system, and I like their system better than straight-up 5E (it's a mix of Alternity/Cortex & D&D). Several times I have considered using Renegade's game system for D&D itself. 40K has Wrath & Glory and I am FINE with...

For my homebrew, there are three major sea kingdoms Nydonna's Sea Kingdom - led by tritons, this realm has population of sea elves, merfolk and of course, tritons. They mostly live in shallower waters, using coral, seashells and metals that do not rust. They have a central city, similar to...

You're not imagining it. DCs are 8 + spellcasting bonus. Attack rolls are essentially 10 + spellcasting bonus, so you often have a +10% chance of success using attack roll vs. saving throw.

If they hadn't thrown it out in the bin like they did Jeff Dee's art.

Why should I have to? I'd rather have something that uses D&D system than trying to fight against it.
