@pemerton Another important factor is a willingness of the GM to accommodate the bards playstyle at the table. Typically a bard will attempt to avoid combat through witty negotiation, but if a DM decides nothing will work then nothing will work; this is fine because sometimes npcs will not be...

Not as great as the paladin and bard pdf. The abilities are great but the flavour as to why the subclass have come to be is so so.

They need to hire you, that's how you market. Having said that Wizkids would have a fit

The propaganda is real puts on tinfoil hat

Bro I want to fight you! I am winding my head back to head butt you but all I end up doing in is nodding my head in agreement.

I mean I am aware tabletop RPG's have rapidly been growing for a while now, but I am pretty sure this has just made it mainstream.

XD hey man it is hard getting the time to play the game never mind do a report! We have been stuck in RP for the last 2 sessions and about 2 weeks until our next play. I will try to do a report around that time.

Oh yeah there is definitely that as well, I can imagine myself getting pretty annoyed if I'd spent about 4-5 hours planning a custom campaign during a week for perhaps a portion of it not going as I had intended if I felt like the others would enjoy it. When I talked about everyone I meant...

The bards I've seen hold their own well enough in a fight with support tactics such as spells of even using the help action. If they decided to take a more martial role then the trade off is being less effective in their support role. It seems fair really; otherwise every other class needs to...

Once I planted a bag of beans all at once, As far as I or the DM could tell the there was no issue with this. It was Storms king thunder and we needed a diversion with the stone giants. 2 pyramids later bursting from the ground and a range of other wacky scenarios such as 2 mummies killing a...

Oh yeah. Our bard always needs saving. But it has nothing to do with his features, more to do with his life choices :LOL:

Yeah fair point, it has been quite a while since I have bothered to look into academic research; a lot could happen in 3 years. Way too busy to be keeping up with all that.

@Hussar 100% agree that in the end all a dueling of scenarios is cause an endless discussion and people more keen on percieved winning than reaching an actual truth. I guess the reality of the game is that unless you take an interest in podcasts and staying up to date with regional/ global...

Is there academic studies on the use of x card? Is there unbiased quantative or qualitative surveys? From what I know the answer is no. Someone came up with the x card because it would hypothetically help to prevent "bleed" (a understandable cause) with a list of guidelines and explanations as...

You are right it was petty what I said, I don't normally post in forums so I think I am overthinking some comments. As for the dilution of the experience I was talking to a fellow DM in our club who agrees with you guys and he pointed out that our experiences for a decade have been in house and...

@Panda-s1 (sorry only got access to phone so detail not going to be so great from here) I did note that the scenario would be very extreme to derail a campaign HOWEVER its very possible that the change could a) effect the session b) cause a change in story element that dilutes the experience...

If it has been deemed appropriate to have said x card, then yes. Otherwise there is every other form of noncompliance that is typically available.

As I admitted to Hussar I actually think the X card has a place in conventions but more likely than not in most other settings (so mostly does not need to Incorporated as standard practice/norm). As for what I have highlighted in bold for your quote you have basically agreed at a certain level...

As friends we would all talk it out as we would want to fully support our friend and historically our friends have talked about it and benefitted from it. I guess as just a human being I like to support my friends with humanity and not some new model set up by a corporation.

I will accept the X card having benefits in a convention environment where you might have a group of people you do not know and some new players with a number of potential mental health problems or disabilities. And I suppose in the context of a convention you are going off a adventure handbook...
