    Mass Combat

    Quoting myself from a previous discussion; I have yet to do this, but oh do I want to.

    D&D 5E (2014) What needs to be fixed in 5E?

    But that has consistency issues, too. When I played 3e, I never understood why Strength affected accuracy. Why isn't it Dex for attack and Strength for damage for melee attacks? It can be justified - but if it can, why not Con or Cha for attacks? I channel my force of will into a powerful...

    Witch preview is up

    This does make me wonder if there will be a transmuter wizard. Witch won't be the only thing, but... :/

    Ecology of the Hengeyokai (+ New Race Option!)

    Just collecting my thoughts; The reflex bonus is boring and not mechanically necessary. Nature's Mask is confusing; do you only get the benefits in animal form? What about hybrid? There needs to be some other racial trait - something mechanical. Preferably another racial power. EDIT: So, it...

    Does the ardent make your head hurt?

    A fairly common houserule I've seen is to reduce PP acquisition, reduce the cost of all powers across the board to 1 or 2 pp, and to give the epic at-wills a slight damage boost.

    D&D 5E (2014) What needs to be fixed in 5E?

    Reducing tracking issues is the biggie for me. Eh, bloodied is just a word for half hit points. It'd be there whether it was called that or not, so no prob from me. This is tied in with tracking... So yes, absolutely. You do know about the wording 'grants combat advantage', right? 'Cause...

    The Pixie is up!

    Shrink doesn't affect weight, though, so that statue'll still be a couple hundred pounds, assuming we're talking a man-sized statue...

    Possibility: Inherent Bonus -> No WBL?

    So, yes, I was missing something - it already basically works that way, apparently. I'm oblivious, sometimes. The thing I'm looking at is more the 'items are always the highest-level version they can be without exceeding your level' bit, which is the actual house rule I was going to use...

    Possibility: Inherent Bonus -> No WBL?

    Okay, so here's the deal. I'm adopting Inherent Bonuses in my games, but with a caveat; items are always the highest-level version they can be without exceeding your level. Thus, if you are level 5, a Magic Weapon is a level 1 item, but if you are level 6, it is a level 6 item. Otherwise run as...

    The Pixie is up!

    I'll take a shot at a reasonable explanation for the altitude limit; The pixie's wings are not what keeps it aloft - they are actually used mostly for stability in flight, much how a human on a tightrope might hold out their arms, or how boats often have fin keels. The real thing keeping it...

    [Harrow Deck] Adding a betting round to Towers

    [I know that this really isn't about Pathfinder as such, but it seemed the most appropriate spot. :/ ] I got a Harrow deck recently, and I really like it (except for the backs, but whatever). My favorite part about the whole thing is playing Towers. However, I think the game is missing...

    Pathfinder 1E Could Pathfinder take D&D's place...

    Well, I'd just say the guy you spoke with was looking at the rooms individually instead of as a group. Small rooms and thin corridors can make a dynamic combat scene - especially if there's, say, a highly mobile inter-room fight going on.

    Anyone excited for DCC RPG?

    The game was billed as new-school rules, old-school flavor - or at least I took it to be so, given the DCC tagline. I was expecting modern rules harkening back to the 1e flavor, and got a houseruled 1e flavor. Despite getting into the hobby 25 years after its start, I made a point to get a full...

    Good supporting/aiding monsters to accompany Spriggans

    Spriggans show up in the third adventure of Kingmaker, if you weren't aware. Might be a nice bit of a preview.

    Revised map for Island at the Axis of the World

    That's kinda what I was getting at - there's not really anything to see at the tactical level on that map, it's so big. I ended up making zoomed-in tactical maps with some features tossed in - like the suggested wagon. If I'd missed that in the reading, or the mention of enlisting citizen's...

    Drums of War HD for iPad now available

    I've been using this app for a bit, and I really like it, but I'd like a few things to change. These changes would knock this from "pretty, but not particularly useful" straight up to "won't run without", at least for me. Character Interface 1) Fields should all start out empty. Empty fields...

    Revised map for Island at the Axis of the World

    A suggestion; As a general rule, I think encounter maps shouldn't be more than 24x24 5 ft. squares... I understand that sometimes that's not possible (see: RNS Coaltongue), but those should be the exception, not the rule. I mean, the encounters are not necessarily designed with tactical combat...

    Do you like Mountain Dew?

    I'll drink it if I can get it cheap and quick, and there are no other soda options. Otherwise, I much prefer Coke (and Vanilla Coke), or 7up products, particularly Dr Pepper and Squirt. EDIT: Oh, and as a card-carrying Michigander, Faygo. Any flavor, though I have a preference for Rock & Rye...

    Help - New Blinding look?

    The old theme is more consistent, too. If the white theme had the same level of care put into it, then it might be preferable, but as it is it just looks bad.

    4e and me

    Aaaaaaaaaand... Another person completely misses the point of the articles. What's the tally now? :erm: The articles - at least the early ones you seem to be focusing on - were more about the core of D&D across all editions, not how they are different. Fire-and-forget, saves, classes as...
