I am about 168 pages late to the party, but I think their niche is how they are the simple, provincial race who really just want to put their oversized feet up, stick their fishing pole in the water, and watch the day go by in time to head to the pub for a drink. The thing that sets them apart...

Epic level combat session part 3

please don't let "played in old school fashion" become code for "bigotry safe space."

Sorry to go off topic, I figured the rules were probably similar and could probably be equally applied to WWN.

That map looks great! I recently bought SWN so I appreciate people's experience with this kind of system. The two things I am wanting to change are the stat bonuses (to bring them more in line with D&D) and roll d20's for skill checks. Seems like it should be doable...

The careers are a little swingy in the tone department, aren't they? Hi, My name is Raduin, I am a light bringer. I practice medicine and I have an energy sword! And these are my friends, the Blade Keeper (you can tell who he is by his buzz saw badge he's wearing) and the Spine Ripper. (Just...

One thing I have noticed is that on the battlefield some players don't like using lines that aren't one of the 8 directions. Part of this is "grid blindness." They think of straight lines as only the 8 directions, when in reality your PC does not live in "grid world" and can point his...

A psionicist is going to be some kind of caster. It will resemble one class or another. There is no helping that. Conclusions? This isn't a mathematical proof. This is just my vision of how one would construct a psionicist class. There isn't any point to arguing taste. If you have different...

When making a new class, looking at the classes already provided as a basis isn't "taking their thing" in my opinion. We don't consider paladins taking anything from clerics or fighters, right? Despite resembling these other classes, paladins have a thematic niche. That niche informs the ways...

I voted for the Skill-Like option, though the hourly recovery thing is :poop: It's my feeling that Psionicists should look at the Warlock as a basis, with the various "schools" of psionics being the subclasses. Recovery could be on short rests, like a Warlock.

I think the biggest thing this thread is revealed is how much we all like ice cream. and metaphors. but mostly ice cream.🍦

FR is the kind of vanilla that has little flecks of vanilla bean in it. Some people can taste the vanilla bean and love it, other people don't see what the big deal is, who pays this much for vanilla ice cream? Greyhawk is old-fashioned vanilla, off brand. The kind that your grandparents bought...

Anyone who would care enough to recognize the cameo would also very likely know about the controversy. And as someone who knew about the controversy before coming into the thread, Hello, I exist. o_O

I am not sure that Herald is the best replacement for Paladin. To me a herald isn't really a warrior, or even divine. He's the guy that plays the trumpet and introduces High Lord Muckety-Muck.

Well... one way to build a tolerance for poison is to ingest small amounts of it. It could be that one of the dwarven staples of their diet is mildly poisonous.

Whatever it is that you get out of rpg supplements: sparking new ideas, or new mechanics to play with, or new lore... every new supplement is an injection of stuff to play with. When games stop getting new books, you don't get new toys. But hey! Look over there! That RPG has new supplements! New...

What a fun thread to necro. The problem is that with no control, no effort being put forth to diversify, the result will NOT be people being hired by merit alone. Those doing the hiring will avoid hiring the diverse hire in favor of someone "more like me" or "more like the rest of the team" or...

I think dwarves are probably one of the most thoroughly pigeonholed D&D races. I think a lot of it has to do with so much focus placed on their professions (Pick One: Miner, Stonemason, Smith) that it leaves the race feeling a bit one-dimensional. Another angle I have seen more than once...

I feel like the Studied Adversary feature should be broadened out to be a general "I am an expert on monsters" ability. As it is, a ranger can switch it out after a long rest, which kind of defeats the purpose of it being a "monster grudge" type of ability. I think that concept has outlived it's...

We're applying game-world logic to some pretty ancient stories so we gotta have a little wiggle room to make anything fit. The form is there -transforming a staff into a snake- and I doubt the resemblance is coincidental.
