that depends, do the Good afterlives actually provide 'a better afterlife', or merely provide an afterlife that good-aligned people consider desirable? and similarly so with the other afterlives.

i always have the urge with alignment to want to try a little social experiment where you make people judge the actions of their own characters without letting on that it was their own characters, to see how differently they weigh the scales when they don't have the inherent bias of knowing it...

i could perhaps see value in 'muscular neutrality' if 'pure good' ultimately becomes dangerously self-sacrificing and places so little value on their own individual lives, they respect the sanctity of life to the point where they wouldn't cut down a tree to build shelter or hunt a pig to feed...

i admit i read that as LEVEL 4 rather than TIER 4 and saw absolutely nothing wrong with that statement/image.

i disagree strongly that it 'cannot work', merely that there has not been an implementation of it yet that has worked.

i'm sorry but that's just how i feel, that in a world in which these cosmic forces are real and at play i feel that the version where you've just 'picked a side' is deciding to settle on the potential of what alignment could represent rather than the version where alignment is a measure of who...

while that is a valid approach that is easier to implement and playable with less subjective interpretive conflict it is personally not how i would prefer to implement alignment, to me it feels like a halfhearted attempt as it's more or less just factions with a different coat of paint IMO. and...

honestly i think it's such a shame shillelagh only works on those two weapons, i mean, i know that a shillelagh is a specific real weapon but the base premise of the spell i think it would be really interesting if it was expanded to cover a handful more weapons, maybe merged it's use with magic...

i'd wish that we could get an implementation of alignment where your character's is meaningful to the game, however the main issue is that if you want to do alignment properly character's actions should influence their alignment and ultimately people will disagree over interpretations or...

i voted never, but more because i would prefer a game system where the frequency of death is not directly correlated with the difficulty of the game. just because your group is facing insane difficulty challenges does not mean that death needs be a consequence for failure, sure they can loose...

we did have a thread not too long ago about just that where that was highly debated.

Okay I’m just going to restate my assumption of the base concept of the post chain: that by level 7 each class should have their own method of reliability passing certain skill checks, martials should have 2 (more for rogues) specialised skill that they can consistently pass moderately difficult...

what? how is this your read of my posts? how is this close to anything i said???

do you have anything that's not basically just slightly tweaked hunter's mark in a different hat?

i'm really not seeing how that's happening.

the increasing bonus of a specialised class shouldn't be increasing the target bar of the checks. and if you wanted to be good at the checks and you didn't specialise for it well that's your fault so don't complain that the checks are too hard for your no proficiency, +3 stat bonus character

true, but that is no reason that the class had to be built with the spell as part of it's spine. anything else really, personally (i don't know if i mentioned this here or in the other ranger thread) i would've much rather had something similar to the land druid subclass as part of the ranger...

i would personally consider it more like 'by level 7 all classes should have their way to be reliably passing the skill checks of their chosen specialisation' casters would have their spells, martials would have expertise and reliable talent(on limited skills).

regardless of any amount of extra uses or improvements they give me the worth of those features will always be 0 as HM is not a spell i ever have any interest in casting, i love the ranger, i couldn't care less about HM.

how much is 'a few of the schools'? you make it sound more of the exception rather than the rule, is it reasonable to infer from that that some of the other schools stuck to more of the purely skill based faire?
