On what planet does simply halving the existing units of measurements (5ft), which has almost 0 impact on any currently existing rules, but does allow more precision when applied to certain others = Crazy. And completely rewriting the existing system of measurement that impacts nearly ever...

I'm not against that - I was just saying I'd personally come up with a houserule to allow traditionally Heavy weapons to be used 1 handed, and he might like to have a look at them to see if they fit his game perhaps a little better than the Improvised weapon rules....

Aaaaactually....... If that frost giant is 15' tall, that axe in the picture is approx. 7-8ft long....agreed not easy. If however you take the view that a Greatsword is analogue to a traditional claymore, and a greataxe something like a danish/sparth axe, that puts length in the region of...

He's right you know!!!!! The PHB is replete with just this sort of awful deviation from the objectivity of the wisdom of crowds!!! I typed Monk into the internet and the first 20 images were appalling! No Martial arts, no weapons, no flying through the air through the power of the...

First off apologies if that cam across a bit Brusque - I had half hour to kill in between meetings at work. First off: Can you really not imagine a situation where someone piling on massive damage as they progress levels wouldn't be having a brilliant time? This is basically one of the reasons...

Nope - if you pull apart the weapons table, WotC have sort of half baked rules into how they've designed their weapons and using those, only the Handaxe and dagger are majorly overpowered, and the Trident, blowgun and whip are underpowered. The only issue is the irregular application of...

I appreciate the enthusiasm, but personally I'd remove the initial theory/justification part, or at least simply identify what you want to change, and not why. Reason being is I found myself interested in looking at your changes, but was then immediately put into a defensive frame of mind with...

I came up with this as a trade-off for wielding a Two-handed weapon one-handed....You could apply it to giant weapons in 2-hands in the same way, perhaps?? 1) You cannot take reactions: Wielding the weapon effectively takes too much effort and cencentration 2) You cannot benefit from any...

Lionel, Bard-barian of the Duck Totem FTW!!!!

Also Warlocks in general have banging storyline reasons for suddenly multiclassing......there you are, bumbling along as a level 5 Paladin, doing good, smiting stuff, and pi$$ing off half the D&D community's 3rd standard deviation.......wham! Through the course of the latest mission you have to...

Internet forums - where those outside the 3rd Standard Deviation go to Fight.....

Could you not get inventive and feed it to him narratively....so during the course of the XP level, make notes of all the things that have happened that tie in with the level you want to multiclass to, and narrate your "levelling" with overtones of that. So say you want to get to level 5 of...

You might "know" the spells all the way up to level 9.....but as per the phb section you quoted, you can't prepare them.....rendering the knowledge useless.....

Ok - might as well chuck in my tuppenceworth...... First off, watch your cognitive bias - you're very first line states "This happened because the players". This immediately says you don't think it's your fault, or an unfortunately happenstance, and therefore you're not in the mindset for...

I would advise stating this up front. Not doing so risks people thinking you're not being honest and that you're engaging in edition wars via "collaborative debate".....namely "I want to change this because I see it as a problem, lets discuss" when underneath you really want to say 4e is better...

Lots of great advice so far. Especially consider the use of language and implicit narrative (The boss of the Goblins, the Doppelganger, issues all the orders for actions and the Goblins all shout back and forth trying to impress her/asking for direction). This increases immersion, which will...

Ok - firstly well done for posting your homebrewing methodology the right way. Namely, "I don't like this", rather than "This is clearly bad and broken and WHY DIDN'T WotC ASK ME TO DESIGN 5TH EDITION?! WHYYYY!!!!!"....so much kudos there! I've got some questions that may seem facetious but...

There's also the rule of unintended consequences....you make smiting a once per turn thing - I reckon people will actually do it more. If you only have, say, 5 rounds of combat and only 1 opportunity to Smite, so the max you're going to burn is 5 spell slots. Because you can't smite and cast...

If you're new to D&D and GM-ing.....I'd keep the rules as simple as possible, because empty room physics means you're less likely to screw the rules up, or slowing things down trying to calculate falling damage off of a balcony onto a pile of broken chairs and scorpions..... However, there's a...

They are not all Weasels by default Taking Level 1 in Paladin should turn you into a Weasel.......:lol:
