It was posted recently that the campaign works like reality but with magic added, and rules to help us adjudicate the action. According to your quote, in your campaign gravity does not work like in reality. In the real world, masses attract other masses, with the amount of mass and the distance...

Like by daring to play a warlock.

Of course referees can cheat! Have you never heard of a referee accepting bribes to-and I use this term advisedly-cheat?

How? Can he see his own character sheet? They know what they can do. They don't know their game mechanics. They know that they can fight, so they can describe themselves as a 'fighter'. But so can barbarians, paladins, rogues.... What they can't do is look at their own character sheet and see...

I realise that it's an emotion-laden word, and I use it because I feel cheated when someone arbitrarily changes the rules mid-game in order to screw me over!

With the six example 5e warlocks that I've actually played:- Pal 2/War 3 started that way, a 5th level PC (home campaign) Ftr 1/War 9 started as a 1st level fighter and gained levels in play (Curse of Strahd) Bar 3/War 11 started as a 1st level barbarian and gained levels in play (campaign my...

I don't disagree with any of this. As I said, the player designs their character within the parameters set by the DM. I have heard this opinion before so I can't claim that there's something wrong with you for thinking like this, but I must confess I don't see classes that way at all! For me...

There are people in real life who risk injury doing stupid things. My Dad to me when I was a boy: "If you fall off that wall and break both your legs, don't come running to me!" People also do stupid stuff in games. I actually hate that kind of behaviour, in real life or in game. I would hate...

Inventor: Guys! Guys! I've just invented this brilliant new thing! Friend:....Is it for porn again? Inventor:....yeah.... : (

I'll note that none of my casters have ever adventured with a bag of rats/cage of chickens or the like. I have hexed breakfast though. If I was as....PITA as I've been painted, I wouldn't stoop to carrying multiple live creatures. One will do. You can move hex from the target creature in any...

HOW DARE ANYONE COMPARE ME TO FLAT BREAD!!!

In many, many action films the heroes are being pursued by an overwhelming number of foes when they come to a cliff edge. Indiana Jones (or whoever) looks back at the chasing horde, looks at the leading lady, takes her hand and takes the seemingly suicidal leap. Of course, Indy is experienced...

What are you talking about? The parameters include character level and magic items. The player creates their PC within those parameters. If the character level for this campaign is, say, level 5 and the players can choose 1 uncommon magic item (subject to DM approval), then the Staff of the...

What does 'PITA' mean?

Then you'd be wrong. The idea came first, not the mechanics. You see an effective character in terms of game mechanics and assume the player is acting in bad faith. That says more about you than it says about the player.

I more often multi-class than go single cless. Right now I'm developing a Musketeers-type PC for a 14th level high magic swashbuckling game. I have a clear vision of what my PC is like, and have to find game mechanics to realise that vision. I'm probably going Rog (swashbuckler) 7/Sor (draconic)...

In that case it was an change to the game without thinking it through. In universe, things cause damage and then spells were developed to heal that damage. If the game world was one where taking damage also might result in things like broken legs, then I would expect it to be done fairly...

If you changed the description of hex such that it could be cast without a target, then that's how the spell works in that universe. My PC would respond rationally and do just that, without involving chickens. Because this would be rational. I've had a bad experience from a bad DM re : broken...

What I like about warlocks is the flexibility; you can make nearly any type of character with the warlock. Archer? Eldritch blast. Battlefield control? Buff/debuff? God-botherer? No problem. I mainly use it for melee fighty-types. My barbarian/warlock was one of my favourites. Totally...

That's very much appreciated. Thank you. :)
