Been there done that. It’s awesome.

The warlock having any combat ability better than the wizard has never made sense to me. He didn’t train he just made a deal (pact) with someone. That’s my opinion anyway.

I like the concept but Dyson spheres kill the flavor for me. I’d just do something like the old ravenloft domains. Otherwise I like the concept alot

I like the way you are talking

I think 5E is different than us ad&d players in this respect. In early editions a 1st level fighter was a season warrior for sure. Now in 5E they are calling the low levels 1-2 apprentice levels. Although if you look at the chapter that begins around page 342 of PHB a commoner only has 4 hp. A...

it wouldn’t be so bad if they would put alot of emphasis on their priestly role also. Their were alot of cool Druidic rites and alot more to their mythologies. They didn’t isolate themselves from society they were the leaders and cultural teachers and keepers of their people.

Yeah. But that’s just because minstrel’s stole the name bard to make themselves sound cool. The Celtic bard is much more suited to adventuring. The English were killing them after all because they were trying to preserve their culture and heritage.

I always go back to that if you want more realistic hit points play runequest or call of Cthulhu. Those games can be brutally realistic. Or even true20 which doesn’t have hit points.

Kender don’t really steal for greed or maliciousness. They just sort of keep things for safe keeping until the party needs it. Or borrow it because it’s interesting. With every intention to give it back. We once ruled that when a party went to retrieve an item there was a small chance the kender...

I actually only saw this bad roleplaying once outside a group of teenagers. And it was actually a man with his son at a game store. Everyone in the group just wanted him to leave. But pretty much just ignored him and let him pilfer what he wanted because we wanted his kid to play. And the kid...

Generally I just do this to make the point to the character. He rolls a natural 20 i tell him his check failed. And do that over and over again until he gets the point. I pull rule #1of d&d and it is RAW

No. They don’t have to respond in character. They can say I don’t want to play with you and ask him to leave the table or go home.

it is kind of like playing with that guy that likes to pick pockets and steal from the party all the time.Most players would prefer to play without him and work in a group as a team. And that player always uses the excuse I am just role playing my character.

Nope. They can be badass. It’s just the fighters are more badass.

I’ve seen many a PC over they years turned into an NPC. And in some settings like ravenloft it was hardwired into the setting. It’s really up to the DM, but I am the first to admit that if i Didn’t like the reasoning i just wouldn’t play again. That’s all you can really do is walk away. But in...

All badass things

the reason isnt game balance as much as fighters are more badass in a fight.

Why don’t we have all weapons so 1d8 damage also. After all go are abstract.

I actually played several good ad&d games where if you died you started over again at 1st level. This was done even if the rest of the party was 10th level. We rarely ever got over 12th. And we had a good time. We did catch up because of the level progression difference. Actually this guy still...

one of the flaws for me in the bard class is them being primarily and entertainer where (imho only because modern gaming changer the expectation) bards should be more focused on lore than entertainment. Entertaining is a fine teaching method to pass on the lore. But they should be portrayed as...
