We playtested it with six players for about 80 hours of table time and it worked pretty well, weapon selection felt like a major choice, especially without magic items. Sent from my MT2L03 using EN World mobile app

As an offshoot of my low magic gritty fantasy game I hit upon a great set of options to differentiate weapons and add some spice. Given how situational some of these weapons are, it is not uncommon for consummate warriors to carry a variety of weapons for various situations. Weapon Styles...

Very much this. In the hands of the skilled, these feats are far too powerful. The problem isn't choosing to allow feats in general, or MC, it is just particularly this feat (and sharpshooting). I nerfed off the -5/+10 and didn't look back, everything has been fine since.

At my table I use a system of scaling returns on skill checks. Say a DC is 13, if you get at least that, you have achieved the minimal tolerable level of success with no drawbacks. Fail it by less than 5 and you might still succeed but with drawbacks (hurting yourself on a jump) and fail it by...

Alright, I hacked it together. Not quite elegant, but it seems functional. Available here, and in the main download area. EDIT: Found a few formatting errors, now rectified.

Thanks, i appreciate the compliment! Thanks biggest challenge would be finding proper art for the final project, but that's the point of a Kickstarter though, I suppose. As an aside, I really need to find a way to get the download comments to link to the other thread, it got messed up during...

Having played with both a champion and battlemaster at the same table for long stretches of levels, I have to second that champion feels underwhelming in comparison. That being said, I want to preserve the simplicity of the class, and retain its passive ability mindset. I have considered...

I would let them end their turn mid jump for the case of a chase scene. Especially if it is a cut that goes into commercial. "Well, it looks like the duke's boys have been at it again..."

I'll save my blatant gnome bigotry for another thread then. Sent from my MT2L03 using EN World mobile app

Okay, it is not specifically gamma world, but is as close as I could get without fear of being sued. Also available on google drive: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9weYkvEU386TjlTbEE0Nk9BQmc It is a classless system that uses feats to define archetypes and capabilities, and encourages...

I really like proficiency bonus and feel like it could stay, but am dubious of roll under mechanics.

Upon further consideration I am thinking about dropping AC from ability scores altogether, and letting con's bonus to HP be the "survivability" ability score, and let it function abstractly through HP.

Right now I am playing with the concept for another 5e mod that might do something in this vein. Odd ability scores unlock new capabilities, even add bonuses. I hadn't thought about the feats, I had forgotten so many of the base ones were only half feats. I have been wanting to see them all...

I've been wrestling with ability scores lately, and it has gotten me to thinking that a few tweaks to what they "do" outside of skills could make 5e a lot nicer. Now, I know that sacred cows are sacred cows, and this won't happen, but if I hung the stars, this might be how I'd do it...

This is an interesting point, could there be a counterspell usage or variant that just knocks out concentration of an ongoing spell? It would make sense that some mage had came up with this.

*Fails Save* I can see now that I was entirely wrong, and there is nothing silly or lame about banjo-pickin' bards whatsoever.

Immersion breaking, but effective. I could see this as a mechanic in a video game. An alternative could be to have all the gold in a region be from the hoard of a legendary and powerful dragon, and the more of it you have, the more of the creature's power is granted to you, so the bigger your...

I would argue that the familiar is conjured by magic but now exists physically until destroyed. Summon spells without a permanent duration, probably, yeah. Undead being animated, I would think it would snip their strings like marionettes.

Is this about the right for monk/druids to fight with bear arms? I remember reading something about this in the news.

I love doof warrior, don't get me wrong, possibly the coolest thing I have ever seen that was bard related. But did you notice how he didn't really DO much? Just sort of stood there doing his thing like a living hood ornament until the antagonist (from his perspective) got close, then he...
