I feel like the Release version of Press The Attack is really underwhelming. Expertise on either side would be fine, but only gaining Expertise yourself but Advantage on attacks against you is awful. Especially when Fall Back negates the benefits of using it but doesn't mitigate the negatives. I...

I just meant something to the effect of like, for the big Heroic abilities that are 1/Day, maybe let them burn like 5 Exertion to repeat them beyond that? Just a small way to tie them in to LU systems. Other than that, stapling Follower bonuses on to them seems like it'd be easy and expand them...

I definitely think it would be worth it. As someone who loves depth in character creation, I definitely agree that the Culture system would significantly help to counterbalance the limitation of very few Races/Heritages. Encounter building you're already using so that helps a lot, as does actual...

"Extraordinary" "Astonishing" "Uncanny" Please give a Rogue archetype that forces having a Cajun accent as a prerequisite for an ability.

It'd be nice if there was more of an optimization scene for LU so it'd be easier to determine Classes effective potency ceilings and floors.

Awesome, thank you :D also know that "This combat tradition does not count against your limit of known combat traditions" made me INCREDIBLY happy, was surprised to see it but I think that works really well for the weird unique traditions like this.

Oh I LOVE the Arcane Knight, I've loved the idea of Traditions for things like this or Soulknife and glad to see that design happening in an official capacity! One thing I was slightly unclear on was the Malicious Mark Maneuver, it says "Any attempt to use the Help action against that target is...

Personally I've never seen them as exceedingly popular, just exceedingly powerful. "This Class is kind of a PITA to play but it obscenely OP in exchange" has never been good game design. 5e made them less of a hassle and more powerful compared to previous editions, but also ended up with a much...

Ooh, I REALLY like having symbols for the Traditions. Are those going to be used more going forward?

Ranged Martials needed far less than Melee. Ranged attacks getting full damage to attacks means there is no tradeoff to the safety of Range, combined with being Dex based meaning also a solid AC. In o5e there is no reason to play a Melee Martial, it is strictly an inferior choice, so it is the...

Like, it's lazy and transparent, yes, but for anything we can't get officially that's all we really need? I've never seen anyone play them for the associated lore, just the aesthetic, vibes, and occasionally mechanical synergy.

I feel like most of the ones that aren't OGL don't exactly have that much depth to them anyway, they're just surface level ideas more than anything significant. Easily replicatable with the serial numbers filed off. Huge strong people named like Spartans or Titans instead of Goliath, Mantis...

I don't trust WotC to design anything competently at this point, so the less they touch the less disappointment there is. I deeply dread an o5e implementation of Dark Sun and the lack of meaningful Psionics content in o5e keeps that possibility at a safe distance. Meanwhile, between Journey...

Use of new things added in LU, like Journey Rules and Maneuvers is a really obvious one. I would absolutely not sleep on the actually Math based CR though. o5e Monster math is notoriously best guess/wing it/whatever feels right in your heart which leads to incredibly unreliable encounter...

I remembered this Oglaf comic and thought it a worthy addition :D also an answer to the original question

I meant for something o5e related specifically, because it has managed to convince a large swath of newcomers that it's the only game that matters and everything should just be o5e forever no don't look at that Star Wars system just run Star Wars in o5e etc etc

Books just recently made it to port in our country and are being sorted now. EN is UK based so it takes longer for us to get the stuff.

Sticking their head in the ground and going "LALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU LALALA" about any other game is about what I expect from someone dedicated enough to o5e to be a mod for a board, sadly.

Are you US or UK?
