    What happens to the "suboptimal?"

    Min/Max Optimized characters abound online. For some games that is absolutely fine. For a lots of games that isn't so fine. I never care for the system that went into character creation and character builds. have one or don't....I don't care. That said my favorite current character in my...

    6-8 Encounters a long rest is, actually, a pretty problematic idea.

    Strangely I to have DMed those role playing games as well and each one of them has the same issues as 5E. If you run a huge mega encounter in Pathfinder and the Wizard blows her spells to get the party through it (regardless of if she needed to or not) guess what? She is out of spells and...

    About the War Cleric......

    I just let the war clerics gain a extra attack like Valor bards ect.. instead of there stated extra attack option. I have not noticed anything wrong with it yet.

    Why I dislike Milestone XP

    Xp Awards for Defeating things is a big part of my games. You gain just as much XP from killing something as sneaking by it or negotiating with it so that it doesn't hinder you. Xp Awards for Social dealings are a big part of my game. Typically because social encounters take a lot more time...

    Why I dislike Milestone XP

    When someone in their post says things like in a thread about why someone else hates something and asking other DM's if others dislike it as well and seeking others who feel the same, you don't think that comes across as hilarious? He automatically defeats all arguments! I mean he said so! If...

    Why I dislike Milestone XP

    shidaku DMing should be fun and not work. If you don't enjoy it don't do it. My players are not there for me to tell them what fun is. They tell me what their characters want to do and I build (sometimes on the fly) a adventure for them. Will things turn out like they thought? Maybe ..maybe...

    Why I dislike Milestone XP

    Milestone Leveling is a time saver and gets the job done. There isn't a lot of doubt that it's become widely used especially in Adventure paths. Even so I have a heavy dislike for it. See to me D&D is a role playing game and the PC's should have the freedom to play their characters however they...

    Your ideal class orgainization

    Fighter Magic User Thief Cleric Bard I would build each of those with class options that you pick as you level up that made you more and more specialized. A ranger for instance would just be a Fighter who picked the class abilities for outdoor survival and possibly a beast companion ect.. Your...

    So...am I evil??

    Parenting is hard but you do seem a bit overbearing. One thing I would be concerned about as a parent is mooching your kids friends and players for your own game. I understand wanting to play with your kids and also wanting to add rpg'ers to your own circle of friends but it sounds like your...

    D&D 5E (2014) Feats: Do they stifle creativity and reduce options?

    There is a reason why the rpg's that heavily lean towards tactical play as opposed to those that lean towards role playing are far more popular. The barrier of entry is not as sharp. Most people have played many board games and video games themselves and understand that type of play far more...

    D&D 5E (2014) Tomb of Annihilation - Moral Question

    Why everyone should be throwing themselves at this adventure? Because DC15 saves instead of 10 mean a LOT more PC's are going to die.

    A house rule that made your class perfect

    Berserker Barbarians drop the exhaustion requirement* 1 Extra attack that uses a bonus action only while raging? Who thought this was too overpowered? Have they seen all the ways to gain a extra attack with a bonus action?
