I would say you can see past the gap, as you simply have x-ray vision. Yes, I would count a person as a solid object. Yes, clothes count as a solid object. No, you cannot see an invisible person, because according to your perception the clothes are not there to be seen through anyway. I would...

That's pretty awesome. Have not been playing long enough for that sort of thing to happen to me.

Thanks, but my point is that those are just examples of rules that work for my world. If someone else wanted to tell grittier stories they would need grittier rules to reflect that in their world. Rules like the OP that make the world feel much more deadly, instead of just telling your players...

I am saying that people caring about story does not mean that rules can't also fit the world you want. Back to my world as an example, my players are almost 100% story driven. So, I make rules to help tell the story I want to go with my world. There is no story disconnect when the mechanics...

So don't apply rules like this for players who don't care about the Setting consequences, or are bad at tactics. I don't understand the logic behind so many comments in this and other threads, always along the lines of "There are players that could abuse this, all it takes is for them to not...

I am aware. I was using Leather armor, with 16 DEX. I hit 4th level Warlock, so I bumped Dex to 18, and am going to be switching off of the Leather Armor to unarmored.

UA invocations won't help a Tome-lock much, they were mostly Pact of the Blade ones, IIRC. Armor of shadows is always decent, and/or Fiendish Vigor, as it really sucks to get hit by everything. I have heard some good things about Repelling Blast, but have not tried it personally to offer an...

I have one Player who has an Acrobat Kobold Assassin. He starts almost every turn by climbing up something, and then tends to use the environment as a weapon more often than his daggers. This is in stark contrast to the player who was playing a Wizard, and started most turns by casting Ray of...

That sounds fine to me. and not fussy at all, IMO.

Last session with iserith Bless from the Paladin made a lot of misses into hits, and saved my character from being possessed by a ghost. a +1-4 is pretty dang powerful, considering other areas of the game are stingy about even giving a +1. Heck, Proficiency only goes up by 1 after four levels...

While my players are firmly in the area Defcon notes, that being that Story trumps mechanics, I can agree with wanting Mechanics to reflect the way you want the game world to work. For this, I have a few ideas. What I like Heavy shields. Removing Full Plate What I would change most of it. No...

I am just going to make it so the Berserker barb gets rid of a level of exhaustion on a short rest. About as simple as it can get, and gives them 3/day without any extra baggage. Might even make it so they remove all levels on a long rest, so they can really go Berserk if they feel like it...

Ah, thanks. I was just curious about it.

I was going to respond, but Gradine covered it better than I can.

If every fight is built around an alternate form of victory (something other than "Kill all the monsters") Then I can't see it being a real issue. As Mira mentioned, you can't come back and try to save the village from Gnolls again. If you are defending someone, and you all die, that person is...

Don't feel bad. I stopped watching when the Inn Owner started talking. Nothing personal towards the cast, I just really hate that accent. I might try again some time, as I firmly believe that more diversity is good.

That sounds like fun. Now imagine the some thing, but with LAVA instead of water. They get pushed by a pressurized stream of magma into...More Magma!

No, not the default PHB. I mean a custom PHB with your own rules and world information. I am asking because I plan on making my own. It will have a Chapter for how my world is different from the default assumptions, contain my homebrew races/classes and the official or 3pp options I allow. The...

Since I am ignoring that last bit in parentheses, I am not ignoring any of the stuff in parentheses. But that means I am not ignoring that last part, which means I am ignoring things in parentheses, which means I'm not, which means I am... More seriously, the other possibility is that you just...

Currently working on a Gravity tower. PCs enter, and nothing happens until they step on some runes (Conveniently one for each PC, the same number of sides the tower has). When all runes are stood upon, they are activated and shift gravity to the corresponding wall. Now some players are standing...
