Good call. Enhance ability is the obvious one that comes to mind, but I checked the description and it actually doesn't raise your scores, it just gives you advantage on checks (and a few other benefits specific to different scores, such as temporary hit points). Does anyone know any examples of...

That's what I've been doing, for the most part. Only because you clearly stated that you were speaking from your experience as a player, and I wanted to know if your GM had had any ideas that might be of use to me. No goal-post moving was intended. Anyhow, my gripe wasn't directed at you. I...

Why are you telling me this? Do you think it's something I don't already know? Houserules are all well and good, but as I've already stated twice, they're not what I was asking about. Actually, that's already a rule, unless you're using encumbrance rules (which are explicitly described as a...

Some of you seem to have the wrong idea about why I started this thread. I'm not asking from the perspective of a player who's trying to wheedle the GM into giving me something I want in exchange for something I don't want. I'm asking from the perspective of a (potential) GM who doesn't care for...

That's a very good question. I checked the description of Greater Restoration, and it explicitly lists as one of its uses, the removal of "Any reduction to one of the target's ability scores." If there's any other way to regain the lost Intelligence, I too would like to know what it is. (Btw, I...

So did your GM give you something else in exchange?

So how do you pronounce Shou Lung? Does the Shou rhyme with shoe, show or chow?

According to the official PS pronunciation guide (a collection of WAV files which I downloaded years ago from the Wizards website), it's pronounced giNAHsee. Although personally I think it should be pronounced with a soft G (i.e. jiNAHsee) because the word was originally derived from genie.

Okay, fine. Happy now? :)

As Tony Vargas has already pointed out, scale mail + 14 Dex is just as good as chain mail + 14 Str. It's six of one and half a dozen of the other as far as I'm concerned.

What about spare the dying as a bonus cantrip, useable at 30 feet?

I'm still waiting to hear what people think of the suggestions I made. Wyvern

Hmm... still not exactly thematic to the particular domains, but if a cleric absolutely *must* have some sort of defensive ability in that slot, I like it better than heavy armor proficiency. I'm not sure that's really necessary since divine strike can be used on any weapon attack (not just...

If you think the cleric is just fine the way it is, more power to you. Personally, I've never been overly enamored with clerics as "platemail wearing defenders of the faith" (doesn't the paladin already have that covered)? And if heavy armor proficiency is that essential to clerics, shouldn't...

I'm not crazy about the fact that so many of the standard cleric domains have heavy armor proficiency, even when it makes little or no sense thematically. It just seems like lazy design, as if they couldn't think of anything better. Problem is, *I* can't think of anything better either. (Or...

I didn't realize there were so many corner cases. I'm thinking this information could come in handy for other people besides me. If I compiled them into a list, is there a good place to post it where people would be able to locate it easily as a reference tool? (I haven't been very active here...

I have a Spelljammer-Fading Suns crossover which has been percolating in my brain for years; one of these days I may get around to actually typing it all up for public consumption. Here's an overview of the key elements: - Crystal spheres are out, replaced by a system of jumpgates. However...

Sounds awesome. Do you have it published on a website anywhere?

Um, yeah. I can see that. But the fact that it's right at the top of the front page, under the heading "News Updates", with an opening line that says "Modiphius Entertainment has released their take on the character of Conan," as if it's something that just happened... well, it creates a false...

Here's a list of all cases, outside of character creation, where either the player or the GM needs to know the ability score (as opposed to ability modifier) of their PC or another creature. General - Each class grants periodic increases to your ability scores. - Some feats require a minimum...
