If you need more than 20 to succeed, or less than 1 to fail, the narrative should dictate a roll isn't even called for. It comes down to reasonable chances. At 5% (either end) you are completely relying on dumb luck or cursing it. Neither of which IME make for a good narrative. In such cases...

And yet many don't. Remove the 1 and 20. Return to binary. If you need more than 20 to succeed, or less than 1 to fail, the narrative should dictate a roll isn't even called for.

The concept is good, but since the range of the spell is only 60 feet, the image seems quite a bit farther. I suppose it could just be the camera angle.

Carson McCalley and Jack Dodge (from Brooklyn, NY), best friends and avid D&D gamers, won the 37th season of the Amazing Race! Last night the finale of the show aired, and I was thrilled to see two young D&D gamers win the race, showing D&D isn't the only game we can be good at...

It's grounded in the average AC vs. the expected attack bonus over the course of the game. Tier 1, AC 13 vs. +5 Tier 2, AC 15 vs. +7 Tier 3, AC 17 vs. +9 Tier 4, AC 19 vs. +11 In each case the number needed to hit is 8 or better, or 65%. Yes, there is some varaiance, but this is the average...

Set it up according to the narrative of the world and don't worry about it. If it is beyond the PCs, the players need to recognize that. If it ends up being too easy, so be it--let the PCs shine. But through CRs, balance, and everything else out the window.

Hey this is a crazy thread! All I can tell you is that if it wasn't for me dropping in on EnWorld from time to time, I never would have even known this might happen. It makes me wonder just how invested the fanbase is in all this? Most the people I know and play with would have no clue this...

I went with Cleric. Yeah, prepared caster, but short list and usually pretty focused on healing, support, or battle. Subclasses are pretty simple also in general.

I will let it go, but NeoChameleon continues it. My first was to Mecheons post. Then he entered. My post. This was a silly claim by them. Wizards have no gift in 5E like in Harry Potter. Wizards gift (not magical) is they study, apprenticeship, stuff, with oportunity to do this stuff. This is...

You feel better making fun of my screen name? That is not healthy. I make up nothing. It is all in the book as I showed you. No, ALL wizards. Spellbooks supported in several ways. You do not know wizards I guess. 1, without spellbook you cannot change spells. 2, you need spellbook to put in...

I would not call the extraordinary events from wizard text outright extraordinary either. They are not special ore magical to create innate magical casting. Work and study and stuff is what wizards use.

No it is your wordplay. I do not insist no gift (chance to learn, get apprenticeship, non-magical. NOT the magical innate gift of Sorcerer) or "special" event for wizard (not special at all), I say the gift or event does not create innate magic. Your wordplay is to connect non-magial injecting...

You keep calling it a gift but by rules there is no gift. It is just study, apprenticeship, hard work, and stuff. If you can understand it, you learn it. Please stop word play. This gift you call is not the gift of having innate magic as sorcerer. Coming into contact with magic in a world of...

The first two have nothing to deal with proving third. You still do not prove anything. Humans are capable of magic, yes, but does not make them innately magic. Again capable of magic. Not innate magic. Psi Warrior and other such are exceptions to the general rule: humans are not innately...

Yes. for 25 spells total 15 and 2 each level 1 to 5. Same as prepared maximum for level 20. In 2024 UA they have more by default.

"Spells" in quotes right? Not spells, but yes WotC made Psionic magic. 1E no. "they enable characters so endowed to perform in ways which resemble magical abilities." from PHB. Resemble. 2E no. Complete Psionic Handbook "Many people assume that psionics is just another type of magic. The...

Nothing to do with leveling up. Sorcerers have a bloodline or event or something lets them harness their gift. Luck is still not a gift. Study and apprenticeship is how wizards learn to use magic. Not a gift such as the sorcerer bloodlines and stuff. Very big differences other than they both...

Is magical =/= as capable of spellcasting Sorcerers are the only one with the other side is true. Not always. 5E has chosen to treat it this way. Still, it is not innate Human magic. Not everyone can use psionics. Anyone can become a wizard by study, apprenticeship, and stuff. Martial is not...

Objectively being the thing. The idea is limiting. The practice is not. So it is not a check or balance for sorcerers. Of course, sorcerer has other toys. Of course it is less a chack or balance for other spellcasters.
