Or a 20Str brute compared to the lvl 20 weapon master, but yes, pretty much so. I am considering purely the average 10 for the sake of the mathematics. But, now that you mention expertise, maybe it's precisely this i would use to augment differentiation. What if all the classes could pick at...

Indeed. And it bothers me. Even at those highest levels as it now stands, a completely untrained character with exceptional talent is almost as good as a demi-god of skill and expertise. As mentioned, i would give even more significance to the proficiency bonus, but i am afraid of unbalancing...

Well.... the current mechanics favor proficiency over ability bonus at a ratio of 6:5, while i would rather see it closer to 3:2 or perhaps even more in favor of training...... BUT, with a catch. If in this case we'd say the ratio can be brought up to 8:5, those extra +2 proficiency points could...

It does up to point. And it's what i like about 5E the most. Training (proficiency) seams to matter as much or more then raw talent. However, at times i do miss the chance to differentiate a bit more between proficiency points or levels. And sometimes i'm not sure if the difference is great enough.

Nice, i would certainly like to see more in depth analysys of other fighter archetypes that might mechanically be considered "optimal" :)

Perhaps, just as an academic exercise, we should maybe arbitrarily assign a bit different methods of using the stats for determining to hit and damage bonuses. One of my major gripes in the melee system has since the early ages been the reliance on Str. I get that strong people can hit harder...

According to DMG: "MITHRAL ARMOR Armor (medium or heavy, but not hide), uncommon Mithral is a light, flexible metal. A mithral chain shirt or breastplate can be worn under normal clothes. If the armor normally imposes disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks or has a Strength requirement, the...

Basically this. But to elaborate as a part time sportsman myself (swimmer, distance runner, table tennis)...... All the agile people in the OP photos are "strong". Not all the strong people out there are agile. Especially when you compare the power to weight ratios of different sports people...

Is Mithril armor considered magical or just enhanced-rare material in DnD5? I.E. could it be crafted or bought from a shop, no matter how exotic and rare, or can it only be found on a quest? If there was a greater difference between a half plate and a breast plate i would seriously consider...

I see no inherent paradox here (well of course it will depend on the interpretation). But IF it's a party on party encounter, then it's the party with the sniper that surprises the party with the mage, not the sniper itself. So the the 1st round proceeds as RAW, everyone rolls initiative...

Some overall good points. When the last play test came around i was planning to lvl20 myself too. However, right now i shoot for lvl 10. It seams like a much more realistic goal. Especially because we started at lvl1 and we don't play that often (we just hit lvl5 in our main). My concept called...

And apparently lower monster AC.... Nice! I think of maybe MC-ing to get the Defense fighting style, for that +1AC when wearing armor. Is there a way to sneak in 5E without disadvantage in heavy armor?

We thought of making the Cleric's character sort of a camp follower when the player doesn't show up and act in a passive manner only (as in providing healing, but not actually fighting). The in story explanation is that he (being a chronic alcoholic) sometimes just refuses to fight and acts only...

Thanks. Savage attacker does look tasty now that i'm reading the description. I didn't mention i have taken two handed weapon style and i use the great sword. Does the feat stack with this? Also, precision strike does seam like it would solve my to hit problems for extremely "hard" targets...

Rogue you say? When someone mentions DnD rogues, i think of this! :o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGF5ROpjRAU

Hey ya all. This is sort of a general question, but i'll also present it in the context of my group. But first, the general question... What do you guys think is the importance of having a 20 in the primary ability (as opposed to say an 18) in a premade campaign (a one not tweaked or created by...

Ah, i don't have an account there.... or i would have played..... Anyways, i rolled this gem in the office this morning using a random dice roller. His name is Joe, and i rolled 7, 11, 7, 11, 9, 11. After adjustments he would be 8, 12, 8, 12, 10, 12. Joe was always a very ordinary guy. He...

Well, my guess is that thieves tools would help in the Scout not just placing, detecting and avoiding traps, but also deactivating them. At least that is why i would give it. Also, if you look at the 1E Ranger, they were the special forces of DnD back then. Aside from sneaking around, i would...
