I don't really care for this idea as it reduces race/class combinations. For example, I am currently playing the least common race/class combination -- Goliath/Wizard. Since we are using a point buy system, the character's stats are diverse by definition. I am also in a Pathfinder game at the...

What is funny is that I had an experience where I parked my car. Came back later and the car was not where I parked it. It had been moved about 100 feet. I was totally confused as to how that happened. Then I figured out it was my parents pranking me (I was in high school at the time). It...

Yes, the last resort of people that cannot use logic. Just plug your ears and scream nay nay nay. You really need to change you handle then as Bad Wolf doesn't seem correct. LoL

The reason why you are disinterested is simply because you are wrong. Let me explain using absurdo ad reductio: Example 1: The basis of your argument is that breaking LOS is enough to allow a rogue a change to hide. So all a rogue needs to do is to carry a blanket. He holds up the blanket...

You wrote something silly and contradictory. You are wrong on what the rules say about this. You could argue the DM has made a "ruling", but not that it is a "house rule". Just own it and quit trying to weasel your way out of what you wrote.

The problem with this (and RTwP in general) is that a number of combat tactics just don't work. AoOs and feats that support them for example. In fact, setting the game to pause at the end of each round (player's or otherwise) was generally the least fun option and made combat into a chore.

Yes, yes they do. Completely. See I can play this game too.

Your two sentences literally contradict each other.

While overly engineered for a 5e game, you might look at Pathfinder Ultimate Intrigue which has rules for verbal dueling and the like. You might get some inspiration from those.

Right, but that is just an archetype of those classes -- the archetype that eschews magic. An archetype isn't limited to a single class or background. Literally an archetype is how you do the class. The only thing you are doing is giving a bonus for the oath instead of a penalty. This is how...

Sure, an oath would fall under the archetype for the character. Their have always been implied oaths in character classes: paladins, monks, druids, clerics, and now warlocks. All have implied or explicit oaths built-in.

I get what you are saying, but increasing the duration for a number of rituals where they cannot be used frequently pushes them toward the useless category. I think Mage Armor is fine without the ritual tag, but I could also see it being a class feature where the caster renews it when they...

Right, but unless you are going to create ritual specific rules for each spell, it doesn't seem to make sense for just this one. What I suggest for those that want to make it a ritual is to change the target to self. For most parties this will make little difference since very few martial...

Yes in AD&D there were 5 Methods of rolling characters: Method 0: 3d6 in order Method I: 4d6 drop the lowest, arrange how you like Method II: 3d6 rolled 12 times, keep the 6 highest and arrange how you like Method III: 3d6 are rolled 6 times for each ability scored, keep the highest...

Ok, but then if you change rituals to take 2-3 hours, you make a whole bunch of them useless. Detect Magic taking 2-3 hours to cast for example would not be worth bothering with as a ritual as it only last 10 with concentration. Now if you mean to suggest that the time to cast the ritual...

I can definitely see that. To me mage is just the character that uses magic to solve problems, so a cleric is just a type of fighter/mage that has some restrictions martial and spell casting restrictions. It would probably be more accurate in my formula to have a % of core class so you get...

Except there isn't any cost if it is a ritual except the time.

No they get Pathfinder! :)

I like everyone else that started with AD&D used Method 0. The only caveat was you had to have at least a 9 in one stat.

I see the three core class as fighter, mage, thief. With a slight tweak to the magic system, a cleric is just a mage. But really the three core class are defined by the different pillars: combat, social, exploration. So fighter for combat, skill guy for exploration, face for social. However...
