Yeah...that's not clunky at all. Welcome back to 3E DR.

Toughness is not determined by just one thing in D&D. It's a combination of how much damage you can put out per round (kill the other guy before they kill you), armor class (how hard it is for the other guy to hit you), and Hit Points - along with other less direct aspects that affect...

No, the Barbarian's raison d'etre is Rage. The no-armor aspect is a sign to the World that they are the baddest mother on the battlefield because of their Rage, and don't need armor - and for consistency with the historical Berserkers. The higher hit points are a mechanical consideration to...

No, it's really not. The rules are quite clear, as are the mechanisms at play. 0 HP is not Dead. It means the character is unconscious and possibly dying. Their body is fighting to stabilize, and the character makes death saving throws. Succeed at three and you stabilize. Fail at three and...

Ah...I see. Yeah, I wouldn't want a Warlord to do that either. Sure, in real-life we're able to bring people back - sometimes - that have been dead far longer than a minute; but part of that is due to our modern understanding of death. I'd have to make the assumption that Dead in the Revivify...

Also, a defibrillator does not "stop and then restart the heart." Defibrillators depolarize the heart muscle allowing the heart's own pacemaker cells to reassert proper rhythm. They use a high voltage, low current, high frequency biphasic signal. It basically works like a degausser - though a...

Seaviomagy said "near death," not "back from the dead." While it's true that this is an overused trope in fiction, in real-life it is not fantasy, and laypersons can do it. In D&D parlance, bringing someone back from the dead is restoring someone that was at 0 HP and failed three death saving...

We role play until something they do has a chance of failure - then we roll.

Still sifting through feedback. May take a little longer than I expected. I'll have a revised draft by Monday of next week (14 September). Until then, I'll keep working - and if Tony, Obryn, and Pemerton give feedback, I'll incorporate that also.

It's Cool. If or when you have a chance, it would be appreciated. :)

Not to mention, temp hit points cannot rouse a character from unconsciousness (0 HP), as per the rules. Making that exception for the Warlord would likely cause as much of an uproar as allowing the existence of the Warlord in the first place would. Which brings up another point (that Mercule...

I agree. Without significant concessions by the player, Kender are unfeasible as written. This is why it's one of the few absolute proscriptions I have in my games. No Kender...Period!:)

I like the idea of "breaking the logjams"; I think that can be addressed with Combat Maneuvers (like Battlemaster maneuvers). As to generally making the game smoother by their presence, I've included an ability that basically grants a wild-card use of advantage, once per round, usable by...

Good to know. Later.

No, it just means I made it multiple choice. I didn't want people using the Lemmon Curry option as fuel to say there shouldn't be a Warlord. The Lemmon Curry option can be selected by both those that want and don't want a Warlord - purposely making that aspect even more irrelevant...

I'll keep that in mind. Thanks.:)

Believe it or not, I actually agree with all of this. However, there are Warlord fans that will only be satisfied by a dedicated class - or at least that's how they feel right now - so that's what we are currently exploring. The Warlord we're working on in the Warlording the Fighter thread is...

Cool! No obligations, but I'd be really interested in your feedback. Thanks!

That's Cool. Real life wins every time. Check it out when you can or want.:)

It's good to make the argument in posts. That at least has the potential to change minds. Gauging the numbers of people who don't want something - which by the way, as I said, is something even WotC doesn't do with their polls - can only be irrelevant at best, most likely contribute to...
