Point taken. I think I will make my predators a little less likely to try to drag characters off if they feel they might be attacked when doing so. Yes, and I didn't want to imply that my Hobgoblins are always trying to CDG. But there are situations when it makes sense for a Hobgoblin to...

They may not say it, but I know that sometimes they are thinking it. And yes, it does bother me that this tactic works. It shouldn't.

I think you hit the nail on the head there. I try to play the monsters as I expect them to act, and with an appropriate amount of intelligence for their intelligence score. A mindless golem might attack players at random. But predatory creatures will try to isolate the weakest party member...

That's the one. The Invisible Stalker is actually only the pet of one of the evil bosses (trying not to give spoilers here), but it alone can challenge a party, being a CR 6 itself. Then the boss is CR 7. Then there are 10 or 12 CR 1/8 mooks with magic weapons too. Oh, and the book states that...

I'm fine with getting rid of non-magical and ranged healing. There's a lot that can be done with things like temporary hit points and bandages. I should have been clearer: at high levels, a group of optimized characters can crush encounters pretty easily. So yes, the game can become too...

I find it interesting to see many posters in this thread suggest things for 6e that were in 4e. I hope that's the sign we're finally past the vigilante phase, when everything from 4e had to die in fire, and that we can finally, calmly, and rationally appreciate and accept what good ideas 4e had...

Me too. Maybe I can get my group to switch from 5e to PF2. We liked 4e, and I in particular prefer a game that works better on a Battlemat, has rules rather than rulings, and offers more interesting tactical options. I just played PF2 at Gen Con, and very much liked the action economy, which...

The core class description says that they use stealth to get the upper hand on their enemies, has a section on their 'Shady Living', and says that most of them are burglars, assassins and cutpurses. They get Thieves Cant as a core class feature. They get Sneak Attack as a core class feature...

The man came from an aristocratic military family, ruled as the equivalent of a king or emperor (sultan), and was a professional cavalry soldier (the equivalent of a knight) for his entire adult life. Sneaking, hiding, stealing, picking locks, picking pockets... none of this applies to him at...

The Turkish bow was not a longbow is what Andrewlichey is saying (and he's right). It was short enough to be used on horseback... so, not a longbow. DnD doesn't really have any equivalent to that in the core rules (someone correct me if I am wrong). You need something with better range than a...

Just to be clear: having a female dwarf is fine with me. Having a female Beorning adventurer is fine with me. Tolkien himself had a female shield-maiden killing the Witch King. I just don't like to combine new characters with existing ones (like Gandalf) in a pseudo-exit from Moria scene...

Ah, I finally figured it out. It must have been in 'A Short Cut to Mushrooms'.

I hope they fix that potential TPK encounter when you encounter Cyanwrath at that altar. The designers apparently didn't have the final creature stats, or there was a mix up, which makes that encounter WAAAY over budget and quite frankly ridiculous. The designers intended Cyanwrath's two...

I don't have my LotR books with me, but can anyone remind me what chapter it was when Gimli got his reassignment surgery?

I imagine the Abyssal Chickens will be hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement.

I feel badly for Rangers everywhere.

Together with our new insect overlords?

The name of the studio is 'Larian' not 'Laria'. I have played the D:OS games and loved them (as well as all the old Baldur's Gate/Neverwinter games). I think this is a great fit.

Thank you! Do you know if that feat/ability adds any extra damage? Or does it just let you make an attack at the end of movement?

Bounded Accuracy is a design principle introduced for 5e, not 4e DnD. It was specifically a change from the less bounded accuracy of 4e.
