To really evoke the walking dead, I feel like you should have to roll a die everytime there's no arguments or emotional drama to see if zombies suddenly appear....

Just got the books in Sydney today. They look great! Love the cloth map. Will be reading through it in the next week.

I would have tk check the balance, but my inclination wluld be to have set damage for the weapon (the average) no str/dex mod, and instead use the hit die of your main class and add to that. So a fighter wielding a dagger would do 1d10+3, while a wizard with same would only do 1d6+3

The system was mentioned before but I've been running shadow of a demon lord for a number of years and the armour rules work fantastically. A magician can get heavy armor eventually, but they will have to sacrifice agility or willpower, which are also very useful.

I'd like 6d6 and a reduced radius. I'd like to see more 3rd level spells get a look in.

I prefer a the current exhaustion list reordered, however i'm not opposed to the proposed system. However my main gripe is how slow exhaustion is to recover. I personally would prefer maybe half hp healed on a long rest but all exhaustion is healed. On a short rest 1 exhaustion point is healed...

I've played the 4 elements to a high level and had a blast. I could fly into the middle of a group, cast fireball centred on self, succeed on a dex save and take no damage. Not the most effective use of power but the flavour of stuff like that was excellent.

Why is that a shortswod and scimitar problem? It's precisely why they would all be 1d6, so someone can choose what they want for flavour.

If I were to change it I'd just make a rapier 1d6 and be done with it. But i'd also make a club and hand axe finesse.

One thing I'd like to see used more in RPGs are reverse death spirals. Abilities at bloodied are one way I've seen to do that. One element I like about this is it gives you a buffer as a GM for setting encounter difficulty. The closer a party gets to a TPK the more abilities they get, which...

I haven't seen all the replies in this thread so I apologise if this has already been suggested. If you want to incentivise any kind of behaviour, in my opinion having a simple mechanic to incorporate that has the most effect. Most tools boil down to a carrot or a stick. Which one you prefer...

I don't ignore people that i have a different opinion with. But people who are consistently rude, aggressive or negative make my list. I don't kid myself that their tone or attitude will change, and I don't need to be exposed to it.

I am a big fan of thw ignore function. I have built up quite a list over the years. I wish I could have the same function in real life...

Yep. That's the point I give up on a thread and don't read the rest.

Keep fighting the good fight. I believe one of the best things we can do with our lives is to be a good example to others. ....if only i could put it into practice!

I know as an occassional poster here i can often back out of posting something because someone is looking to pick a fight of prove something that really doesn't matter. Imagine how it looks for the community that read these posts but don't actively get involved. I for one get routinely...

As someone that routinely rolls less than average even on crits, I support this initiative.

I've used foreshadowing fairly often - most notably in dungeonworld which requires it if played correctly - and I've always found it great. Even just so the players can get an idea on who the monster is likely to target on their turn adds a lot to combat. If you tell the party the barghest...

I really like the idea of monster recharges on a crit, it could make for sone interesting design espdcially in cases where you might have a monster with a devastating recharge ability. Anything that adds more strategy and/or tactics to d&d is good for me.

I apologise for inciting the race issue in this thread. I should have known better. I for one enjoy the idea of ASIs to background. I'm not trying to make a political or moral statement with my games, I just want to make a fun story. And to me, I find the fun story to come from the wizard in...
