Yeah that's fair enough, the size rules sorta even out a bit of that. I didn't think about that.

It is the maximum for normal mortals in the game. Though when I look at the creatures who have those stats I always sorta felt like that was significantly stronger than any real life human. A 10 foot tall ogre being a 19. I guess after 16 which I see has the strongest a real life person is...

I guess this example sorta cuts to what we were talking about when it comes to literary characters. I don't think Robin Hood is any more than a lvl 4 character. It's been a bit since I read one of the books, and I hardly watch the movies on the reg. But while he wins some tournies and is pretty...

I think the meat I'm trying to get at is not morality, and the nature of the greater good. My point is more that in real life people sometimes kill their comrades to either save themselves or others and are not criminally prosecuted or reviled. Such as cutting the someone loose during a climb...

By your definition killing someone who is mind controlled to save your own life is unjustifiable murder. If they can't find a non lethal effective solution well too bad. Still murder. In theory it was physically possible to dispel the effect or physically restrain him, the fact that you are a...

Yeah I think the best value is in a game without multiclassing. A wizard with two levels in fighter has medium armor, shields, martial weapons, +1 AC, and action surge. With the shield spell, a rapier, and GFB. Dude is harder to hit than a blade singer, can drop two fireballs in one round, the...

Killing someone because it might be hard to keep them alive and killing someone because it's impossible to keep them alive are two different things. There's an intersection here of setting assumptions and personal morality that means we're unlikely to find common ground. In my book the...

Xena is like lvl 10 dex fighter. Right? I haven't seen a lot of episodes since the show was airing. But she killed a decent number of monsters, and killed mooks in the hanful. Sometimes killing 4 in a single round (action surge). There was that one episode she killed like a 100 dudes and almost...

Besides the fact that sitting out for months basically means you're kicking the player from the group. From an in universe perspective, how likely is it to spend months in the Underdark with someone who can't take care of themselves, someone can can't move and can barely talk? Forget the fact...

That sucks about your group man. I might've done the same after they forced me to roll, and then complained about 3 characters in a row. Bladesingers don't seem OP on paper. They don't seem better than a wizard who takes a two level fighter dip for medium armor, shields, and action surge. They...

What they said. There's lots of ways to introduce new PCs (runaway slaves) or restore her (ruined temple with anti mind flayer artifact, it is the underdark). A mercy killing in the underdark on a 0 int character seems reasonable, worst things than a dagger to the heart. Being months away in...

I think he's being a bit of a hater. Though dragonborn are often described as being coopery in general with some rare members showing a strong resemblance to specific types with matching breath weapons. I always took that as most or at least many NPC DB don't show a very strong color, but the...

Well there you go, I wasn't too far off. Thanks guys.

From reading those posts it makes me sorta interested in reading a story about them. I always thought they were kinda cool, but until now wasn't particularly interested in their society as the setting for stories. What do their cities look like. For a long time I always imagined them living...

Yeah that's how I always felt, how many of our non superhero fighters have even 20 strength? That's like a young dragon. How many of our fantasy sorta heroes are legit lvl 20? Legolas? I always thought of Conan as like 5-10 lvls. Doesn't mean he can't get to 20 as a pc and start putting...

There's a few considerations that are going to vary from person to person. How bad is it really? Like it sounds like suckage, but if it's being minorly annoyed forever, not too bad. A FR writer(the chick writing about dragonborn) suggests that at least some who would go there might see it as a...

Yeah if it doesn't seem like a deal, just let it run its course. If they start acting crazy, just have a talk about it. We're all playing a game, the mech was just a little for fun item. No reason to beef.

What they said. If they are all more or less okay with it, it's cool. If not it needs to be addressed out of game. If players are beefing over loot and won't work together. That's disruptive. None of us were there, so we can't read the table. But if they don't have a clean solution themselves...

It's not a bad house rule if you want to model those sorts of situations without breaking the system, and want to have the reality of the character concept be mechanical reality. Something like 4 simple weapons/ 2 martial weapons at level one. With fairly permissive rules about picking up new...

A few times I can recall him getting really pissed, and hitting things harder than normal. Though that is sort of a common fight trope, it wasn't a supernatural sort of event. In a loin cloth he usually seemed to get by on luck and agility rather than soaking up a bunch of bladed attacks. But...
