It was a while ago :)

I don't remember 2e, but I recall that in 1e only fighters can benefit from STR > 16. But, I may be misremembering.

I'd split the fighter into Armiger (Hvy Armored slugger), Skirmisher (Lt Armored mover), Longbowyer (Missile specialist). Some sort of fighter/mage in the image of the B/X elf, although not specifically that.

Not really. It's not that great unless a) you need to carry a lot of stuff, or b) you're a fighter. If you are a fighter, it just brings your damage more in line with what is expected at a given level. I believe, but can't really prove, that is was one of the "Essential Two" of 1E fighter...

Wow. As in $2.1 billion? That's a lot of debt, investment, whatever to handle. And the game company received all of the debt when that deal fell through? It amazes me that it's legal to move debt around like that, but I'm not in that field. I'll have to check the LFGS to see if there are...

Wizards receive 1 free spell per level, not two. (I have found this solves much of the problem, almost regardless of edition. The strength of wizards is their versatility. This manages their versatility without eliminating it.) Only select atmospheric cantrips are at will (eg prestidigitation...

If they're not, they should be. No one should be better in stealth than the rogue. If there is another class that is, that is a flaw in the game. It doesn't. This is assuming higher tier characters. At 6th level, the druid. At 12th+, the rogue. Everything is situational. No, I have made many...

Thank you for the clarification. I guess I would argue that having the things I mentioned are things specifically are not available to the magic using classes you mentioned. I picked those for that reason. This is the part of the conversation where things become difficult for me because I have...

Or, the martial group knows to enter the Wyrwood at twilight, and that is a liminal path to the fae court. Or, no, they don't have access to that since you need a spellcaster. Nothing wrong with that, not every class has access to every option. Nor should they. But, maybe there exist other...

I've done something like that, a bit ham-handedly. I've split things up into 1-6 (mundane or uncanny), 7-11 (preternatural), 12+ (supernatural). Fighters can't do frankly magical things, but if a weird stone obelisk absolutely, positively, must be destroyed now, a 12th level fighter can do it...

I like Queen Bee. I don't really play it, my wife does. I'm horrible at anything even remotely Scrabble related. But, every once in a while I'll look at the puzzle and go "your panagram is 'elephant'" or "the hint is what? Try 'emend'". Then I get to say I helped. :)

1) Attempt to have the various sliders mentioned during roll-out, probably as supplements to the main books (Tech level, Spell powers, Item rarity, &c.) 2) Focus on usability of VTT and asset purchase with adventure sales. 3) Absolutely kill even the faintest trace of NFTs or AI production of...

I agree, broadly. Valid point, but a poor example, I think. However that's tangential to a magic shop thread and more applicable to class design discussions. It's not a waste if the players are enjoying themselves. However, for me, this also assumes that the PCs are interacting with colorful...

I never considered that. I think that's an excellent observation, and tracks with how I felt listening to said radio shows. On point!

During the high holy day, usually once a year, there is some form of manifestation. Usually some glorification as the clerics and laity perform a ceremony of the god's foundational myth. When someone dies who is attached to the Green Temple there is nearly always a sign as to which god of the...

Icewrack Dragon 8 - 2 = 6 Woodwrack Dragon 2 + 1 = 3

I have to tell you that my players love going to the Goblin Market at Fiddler's Green. Dealing with (mostly) fair and (usually) benevolent faeries is quite fun for everyone involved. Especially when the price is asked. "Yes, I will barter this with you for the memory of your first passionate...

I agree. Now, I support wholly the idea of subclasses being guilds or power sources. The caster is limited in their repertoire by said power. I've made a few using the concepts of Dreaming, Calling and Binding, Prismatics, Planes of force shaped by Mathematics, and Potential and Abnegation...

Yes, although our games tend to top out at 12th level. My "Epic level" rules take over then. A 12th level fighter has three attacks, sometimes four, and a 9/9+ fighter/magician has two attacks plus up to 5th level spells. The damage output is equivalent. Right now we have... something like Ftr...

For me, I came up with a specific level advancement table. I'm not sure how that would work with 5e and all of the extra bells and whistles, but it might do. Single -- Dual 1 -- 1/0 2 -- 1/1 3 -- 2/1 4 -- 2/2 5 -- 3/3 6 -- 4/4 7 -- 5/5 8 -- 6/6 9 -- 7/7 And so on. You do have to pick a...
