Has anyone had any luck hacking together a magic user who is about as easy to use as the Champion for people who aren't terribly interested in mechanics? I wish the Warlock was this but there are so many moving pieces at a glance.

I think that it stands to reason that any world in which gods were demonstrably real would be very different from our own. In a world where clerics could bring people back to life or strike people dead would see a lot more faithfully observant people. So to me (assuming I understand the premise...

I'm okay with whatever. I've never played with anyone who has role-played a non-human character in an interesting way that justified the fact that they are not human, so any snobbery would be arbitrary.

My players did exactly as yours OP and had no issues with Cragmaw. They are total idiots too, so I think any players should be fine.

Same here. No idea who he is or much about FR. I'm enjoying 5e despite having never been much into the realms. It's just words.

Optimizing isn't really necessary in 5e, so if you wanna play a Gish or whatever with the standard array you should be fine. That said, you do you.

Thanks for the input. I'm thinking I might try it. Perhaps at level 13though just to be safe.

I think anyone who has ever spent any time in a Guitar Center knows the difference between someone with technical skill and a performer :) I had a dungeon with a door that could only be opened by playing a specific chord. It was relatively tricky to play so it required a proficiency check to...

Jeez louise! I was wondering how realistic throwing 4 fully rested level 12 PCs was. This is giving me a small amount of hope.

What level are they? Any wisdom you can impart about running a Kraken from watching it?

How did it go? What level were the PCs? Any fun?

HOLY SMOKES! Thanks soooooo much. I am definitely gonna be using this and will definitely be singing your praises! EDIT: I mentioned this elsewhere, but people who find it just a few slots too restrictive might consider a variant where PCs also gain or lose slots equal to their CON modifier. I...

A few teensy tiny things. Mainly, I think I'd like to see five faint gray bubbles in the corner of the inventory slots to make tracking things like torches a little cleaner. At least to my stupid brain. I'd like to cheat padded armor to cost 1 point instead of 2. Also, if I were already...

My love for this and my laziness and battling to the death with my desire to slightly tweak it. Really cool stuff.

I might be compelled to try something like this, but I think it would need to be less frequent. It's less thematic but I might say that there are "triggers" for rolling initiative including a PC dropping and new combatants entering the battlefield. When one of these events occurs you reroll...

Some stuff people get bent out of shape over seems to be too speculative to even offer a reaction for in my opinion. Still, interesting to see where a designer's head is at. Of these things the thing that I am most curious about is Bonus Actions, simply becuase the current action economy in 5e...

Yeah I would probably give the Barbarian surprise and then it goes off of initiative. Combat is so so fast that initiative is easy for me to think of as simply the time it takes for someone to draw their weapon when trouble erupts. Unless... well... There might be fun in rolling a contested...

At least your PCs spoke to any of the non-essential NPCs, haha. My PCs were completely disinterested in the side quests. Bit of a bummer honestly. Even then I forgot the local druid's name.

I do mostly home brew out of cheapness. I ran Ravenloft (the first one) in 5e. Also Phandelver right st the start.
