Really funny how that theme fits. I will see if I like the mechanics better or not! Psychic blade is interesting...I could fight with two weapons and be quick and make good use. mid I did so I would consider two weapon fighting feat as well as the duel is feat and stay in light armor...or go...

So not long ago I railed about how much I dislike bards. Specifically, I noted a distaste for the lore bard’s ability to cast everything and that it lacked any evocative flavor for me. then I did what I always do: I read about what I hated and changed my mind! in short, a line in the fluff...

Found this... inwill assume these too are Up high and maybe out of play in my present scenario https://jamesmdeem.com/stories.castle5.html

Thanks. Yes. It has been a lot of time invested. My hope is that with time we will use these to make rooms on the fly and play more...

Thanks kindly! Here is an aerial shot with a troll and bearded devil in the middle to show scale

I recently completed a 3D representation of a 6’ x 4’ keep with one inch is five feet. (I have a foam cutter...and have completed many many wall section). But to the main point: laying it all out made me see some absurdities more clearly. Rooms are reasonable sizes. I did not think about...

This is a fun thread. I finally had to bust out xanathars to decide how wrong everyone really has been ;)

I got some really nice terrain from gale force 9—sacrificial rocks and a ruined house! Also a sweet minis bag with foam trays. My parents and brother still spoil me even though I have some gray in the sideburns...

I am not against the MOAR damage feats per se but agree that people do often overlook other opportunity for flavor. I want to give my blade Pact warlock GWM. He is a dwarf with an alcohol problem that swings a maul with abandon. I don't want him to be too "castery" and am saying he talks to...

I gave a thumbs up for this sentiment. I think for me it less that the thread is uncomfortable but more "who would get Involved in that game and think it would be a good game?" Over the years I have avoided a lot of drama with a quick and decisive sense of when moving on would provide a...

The way they have done this has led to an explosion of DMing ideas for me. I have tons of stories sprouting from these very seeds in a way that is new and easier for me. Similarly, the backgrounds for characters also really got me thinking in new directions. I was primarily a 1st edition...

Very cool!

Right. Sadly I think my RL modifiers probably net a cumulative -4 ;) In all seriousness you are spot on. I guess some of those worlds strongest man contestants would be in the 19-20 range? But that is the fun of being a hero! I am not sure if it would add to the fun or over complicate...

I like what you are doing. However I would note that historically only about 2.5% of the population has an IQ above 130 if we are using the wechsler III or before. I can't recall if I actually administered the IV or not but assume it still has a mean of 100 and SD Of 15 as well. In a like...

I agree it is hard to play a higher intelligence to a point. However, I think the DM and the dice can help here. I (player) don't recall the he names, the pattern or whatever. I might not be able to figure the puzzle out but the DM might call for a roll some of those times and my +4 bonus or...

How accurate are our depictions of western martial arts and culture? Are people of other backgrounds playing fictionalized and inaccurate European archetypes racist? I am guessing the answer will be 'no' despite them being neither accurate nor perhaps flattering to modern sensibilties. Oddly...

Wow. Cleric good or evil was always my top choice. I got into combat (how can you not? We rarely could contol all choke points). The bigger issue was the character itself. In AD&D 1e there just weren't that many mechanical knobs to pull for anyone. I found and find crusading clergy to be...
