as much as i hate HM, i'd be more conceptually interested in them having (in practice i'd still very likely never pick it though) a variation that triggers the bonus damage to the target whenever they're hit by anyone not just the ranger, a real 'hey team let's all focus on this one guy and take...

elf magic basically is a result of having a middle earth science degree in listening to the earth. that's what minigiant is trying to say i believe.

replace it with something else, i'm fine with it existing on their spell list and maybe even having a subclass dedicated to it (shunt all the current main class features that relate to it into that) but not it being built directly into the class. i like what they did with the BG3 ranger with...

i mean i wouldn't be at all opposed...

honestly i prefer find familiar, bigger companions have never really appealed to me personally.

personally i'm not convinced that martials taken as a general whole are so well off that an extra infusion of capability to any one of them is going to break things, i don't think they get enough juice to squeeze outside of combat so making them notably more powerful in it is my go to. also...

oh definitely, i think it would be much better if the manoeuvre die added directly to the likelyhood of success on the manoeuvres as the default design, like how in grappling strike the die is added to your strength check, and then 'untrained' classes could use the same manoeuvres but with...

i agree with the general statement but less so the conclusion, i think they just need to scale down how much they value they put on unlimited use abilities

as is most martials end up having two attacks by default, do you think it would be better if they got more?

the idea is more you get 3 attacks for x3 damage than going to either of the ends of the scale.

yeah i do think it would be interesting for martial design if there was a dual progression on their damage, between extra attack and extra weapon damage dice, i do think the specifics of the weapon table might need to be reworked a little, but just the idea that a higher level warrior can get...

it makes a difference because then it matters what approach the PCs take in the entry, the NPCs do exist in their set locations, the GM may have only rolled to determine what NPCs exist and where those locations are a literal 30 seconds ago when the players declared their intent to break into...

because it's creating a connection between two fundamentally unrelated events, why should the presence of the cook be at all dependent on the rogue's ability to pick locks?

Oh but think of the story they're creating! ;)

okay i missed that the example was a random house they were trying to rob, but that doesn't actually significantly change the point i was making, the players announce they want to rob the house and maybe even also their intended method of entry via lockpicking, the GM now, in complete isolation...

the difference is that in the trad example the cook's existence does not hinge on a failed roll, they exist in the house regardless, and the GM has rolled for their location and determined them to be in the kitchen far enough before the players even decide to enter through the kitchen door that...

incredibly, things don't need to contain NSFW aspects to be 'serious', honestly did putting in the infamous bear scene and whatever else similar NSFW content that is in the game really add any notable amount of value overall?

dear lord, i missed one day of visiting this thread and i ended up catching up on it for days.

i'll figure out my actual list later sometime, but something i'm noticing is that in alot of the manoeuvres the maneuvre dice roll doesn't do much for them besides act as currency to use it in the first place and add a little damage equal to the roll, and for those that do actually use the roll...

too true unfortunately
