One alternative solution is to play locations like living areas. If the party wipe out one room of the dungeon and then try to rest it is likely that the remaining creatures will discover this and group together/take precautionary measures etc. Their rest will be interrupted. Moving at pace...

Converting stats will be possible but action resolution will be totally different. I don’t know how you can see a 1d10 dice pool system and 1d100 roll low system as similar.

I was surprised because most polls don’t turn out that way either.

What do you mean? It’s a 1d10 dice pool system. They haven’t done that before. I will definitely be able to mine the game for adventures I’m sure.

Rarity and applicability is important when you’re discussing how something affects the game. You said my point that fighters benefit from advantage and inspiration didn’t matter because a caster’s spells can impose disadvantage on the save. I was genuinely interested how you could do it but...

I don’t get it to be honest. It’s like releasing time of troubles forgotten realms, using a completely different system to D&D. I think it’s a mistake.

Ok. That’s fine. Then you have an ideological issue with casters rather than a practical one, and that’s of no interest to me. Having an issue with class balance because a fighter can take magic initiate to turn them into a caster rather than a martial seems to me to miss the point of classes...

You don’t see a problem with the concept that the highest damage caster is someone who almost never casts spells? If the character doesn’t cast spells do any of the other arguments around casters actually matter?

So? A spell is just a unit of magical jiggery pokery? Do you honestly think a level 1 slot or two meaningfully changes a class?

I think rejection of change is denial and effectively just halts your path on the change curve.

Upgrading wholeheartedly for all three regular groups. The new rules are a straight up improvement across the board for our table. We also don’t like half arsing things. Once you start changing individual classes where does it stop. Fascinating to see where folks are on the Kubler-Ross curve...

Unbreakable, Split, Glass. They’re three films in the same universe but not strictly sequels.

Hit Dice healing + short rest ability recovery gets you a long way as a martial.

How are you generating disadvantage on saves? That is a genuine question I’m not baiting you.

If your game allows players to memorize the monster manual and act with full knowledge of every creature in the games vulnerabilities and weaknesses then this is advantage. If that isn’t how you play then it won’t be. Though worth noting at least one martial ability lets you gain this...

I’m not saying that spells are complicated. It’s that they are more wasteful, less reliable, more time consuming and don’t mesh with the core benefits of the game as well as the things that martial’s do - which is damage things and survive things. That’s before we even mention expensive spell...

The only necromancer worth playing!

Question of efficiency I think there is another point that is often overlooked when it comes to the martial/caster discussion. That of efficiency. Casters are versatile but that versatility also comes with a certain amount of waste. A Spellcaster’s powers come from the intersection of prepared...
