Thankfully, this is a general rule at my tables. Best part is, I wasn't the one who introduced it. My players came to me with "We don't think the group with the Dragonborn, Tiefling, Half-Orc, and Two Elves works." I of course feigned surprise, thanked the Gaming Gods, and went on to let them...

So ranging +5 to +7 vs. AC 16? 9 - 11 is then your hitting range; 50% to 60% isn't awful. Breastplate might be what you're looking for.

Ahh, so they're ignoring the rules for two-weapon fighting because the crossbow expert feat doesn't specifically say melee weapon. Understood - thank you =)

Assuming primary attack stat of 16 and level 1 - 4, that's a +5 to hit. Necessary roll will fall between 12 and 15 for a successful hit. With the damage to hit point ratio, if you want the combat to require tactics and have some longevity to it, these are actually pretty good numbers to...

Nice core mechanic - using d6s and the cap seems to control the swing a bit I imagine. You've certainly piqued my interest - thank you for the quick replies!

Aha - never even noticed the FAQ, was just looking at the reference document to see if the system forms to my playstyle (to determine if I want to get N.E.W. -and- the Xenomorphs setting, or just the setting and convert to my system of choice). So far, I'm digging the sound of it, so the nifty...

I wish I could help you, but I bailed out of Pathfinder after the Advanced Player's Guide (with specifics, anyway). How much do you care about min/maxing vs. just having a thematic character? If the answer is 'little', you could always just run the Magus straight with default options and keep...

Related vein, Morrus: When you lose dice for an exploit, do you subtract those dice before or after capping your dice pool? In example, if you end up with 7d6, but have a cap of 5, can you drop the two 'useless' dice for an exploit, or do you have to reduce your pool to 3d6?

Another interesting option would be "Yes, but..." for his powers. In example, while it is not a preserved facet of vampirism in DnD, the "Uninvited" Clause is always seriously fun with which to work. He obtains the power to walk in the sunlight, but cannot enter private domains without...

I'm not sure what is supposed to be gleaned from that combo. Attacking with a one-handed weapon for static damage and then using the -5/+10 with a hand crossbow for damage output? Can't be two one-handed crossbows; I suppose that's a tiny bit more damage output than Great Weapon Master. Or...

What's SS & CE exploit? I'm really horrible with acronyms, heh.

With http://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/ I find the name stuff just a complete waste of a book entirely - glad I only purchased the D&D beyond version for half-ish the price. I mean, I agree with Kobold Stew about those pages around waking and sleeping and so forth, been looking for solid...

I know it's boring to see the same responses, but I haven't encountered anything like that entirely. I strongly vet all material, make edited versions of it on the campaign's OneNote for my players, and everything is clockwork. I suppose my best answer in the vein would be Great Weapon Master...

Don't be too boggled. One of my players used the Death Curse in his backstory - his grand master at his monastery had been resurrected in the past, so he was dwindling even faster than the main quest giver. The group, rather liking this venerable (although low-leveled) man, pushed very hard to...

It's been a long while since I ran Death House, so the specifics to evade me a bit at the moment. As far as general advice, when I run for new players (or public play groups nearby), I typically don't pull any punches until after one incredibly hard/difficult situations. Two of the characters...

How very interesting - we bought a ton of those during 4E, but used them far less than I expected we would. So hard to separate and organize for quick grabbing. But man I loved the prettiness of 'em.

You know, I had never even thought that before (and luckily neither had my players) that it would be a great way to shave off damage by intentionally letting someone hit 0 before healing. That is a very interesting 'hole' in the system, thanks for pointing that out. My players always do their...

To be fair, everything about Numenera makes life easier for the GM. I backed it in a heartbeat when I discovered you can make a monster with a single near-arbitrary number. If it wasn't for the very limited level progression (6 tiers), I'd likely be playing that instead of 5E even today. I've...

We just started playing around with it earlier this week. We just finished ToA and the players experienced a pretty heavy whack-a-mole sensation with a few of the last battles, so I whipped up this concept. So far, it has only mattered once when one of my players went off on their own to...
