Err. The playtest was done. The stealth = invisibility was there too, and it is not something they ever asked anyone's opinion on.

Oh yeah, Bladelocks do get their 3rd attack, it's just behind lv12 invocation now.

Yeah, it was their brute force solution to people summoning 32 wolves. While I do not think anyone should be creating extra tokens with their own full pool of actions, these are flavorless and not fun when you just wanted to be like 'ANGELIC HORDES COME FORTH'.

Yep. Just WotC things. Apparently Champion and Life Cleric do reference it, so maybe we'll get more of it going forwards.

I'm beyond joyous that they finally officially reintroduced BLOODIED.

Hiding applies to you the same Invisible condition that casting the Invisibility spell does. I'll try to timestamp the relevant spot where Treantmonk has copy-pasted the rules text (which seems to be the same as in the playtest, during which they never asked for opinions about the new Hide...

The Rogue will know whether they hit the DC15 or not, because on success, they literally turn invisible.

I think not having filler fights (that use the combat system) is the only way to maintain sanity with 4e. You really have no time to do anything else otherwise.

I saw this, and I'm in. omg

I think the rules are there, because 3e had crafting rules, so there need to be crafting rules. But they are saving a few gold coins by doing that! Totally worth having a rules system to only craft mundane stuff with (unless you're a caster, then you can make portable spell slots, excuse me...

Yep. Crafting does not sound like it needs you to make rolls, but the hard stat link does mean that people will mostly pick tool proficiencies using their class power stat. Which I guess is still better than some GMs deciding that every tool use is clearly Int and nothing else ever.

Crafter feat remains just as terrible as in the playtest, I see. Surely it should be the equivalent that Magic Initiate is for casters, if it's going to be on that list... But they're just continuing valuing tool proficiencies (and languages!) as much as regular skill proficiencies. WotC...

Sure, I'll watch a scifi movie with Michelle Yeoh as the lead! But Section 31 running black ops operations and CIA torture labs, with full Federation support, should have no place in actual Star Trek.

It's just a 1.5-page barest-bones leaflet, there's not much to it (and no-one would even remember it exists, if not for it being from John Harper). It does my pet peeve, 'on a 7-9 there's a complication of some sort, ask your GM what, we're not here to support the GM lol' as a core part of the...

Dungeon World is not great as a PbtA game, but it still works. I keep meaning to check out Chasing Adventure, which is an attempt to make a more PbtA Dungeon World, but haven't gotten around to it.

I like restrictions forcing tough choices on the players, and there's an interesting design space if you were to actually restrict people to only the core backgrounds (and the game had been designed for that in the first place, and there was more of them than just the 16, and perhaps the...

I keep saying that any Str20 halfling clearly fell into a cauldron of Str potion juice as a baby. That's just how they've been since.

They are not controlling any kind of a space with that length, then, and they just do not have the push behind the blade for it to do any actual damage. Stepping into a thrust is very different when done by an 80kg person than a toddler, kind of a thing.

A low-Str max-20kg person effectively using a rapier in one hand breaks my verisimilitude just as much as them waving a twohander around.

I'll just point out that a Halfling having Str 18, 16, 14 or 12 is just as unbelievable as them having 20. This isn't something that a modifier would help with, when anything past Str 6 is crazy. I think such hard limits could be really interesting (yes, also when it comes to mental stats and...
