I find it interesting where we differ. Thanks for the discussion! I don't have system mastery. All I know is that when I throw effects at the high level human fighters, they can roll over or with advantage on a lot of saves. I think one of them took Fate, which is some of where this comes...

Before I go back to SA, I was rereading this thread. I do agree berserker shouldn't get evasion in core and adept should. I could definitely see changing that. I think someone said that shield focus is more powerful than evasion. I think it's a way for fighters to have evasion. It just...

Is the 5% chance to fail cumulative? I think the cost is fine myself. If anything, it's cheap. A Ring of Regeneration is 35,000 gp and isn't as powerful as the spell. Yes, a +1 weapon or Hat of Disguise is cheaper but they can be taken by a Basic Maneuver that anyone can do whereas this...

Great discussion! I think the original idea was that magic items were found and couldn't be made anymore. It's why adventurers went adventuring. Maybe late 2E finally had rules on how to make an item for PCs but I thought most of it was assumed to be found or NPC created, hence the huge...

I appreciate having a permanency spell instead of the casting it every day for a year. I would get rid of that in favor of this. Is this defined as a ritual? I find the one minute casting time too low. I would think at least an hour. I'm also not a fan of the casting it over ten days but...

Ugh. Yep, that's RAW. I declare stupid. :p What is the character reacting to on their turn?? :(🤦‍♂️ I want to waste fighter actions, at least when it comes to SA. That's the reason I'm suggesting that. I have more of a problem with the six second round. Bob World Builder, after...

In my experience, I had a player doing an action, the NPC did a reaction, and the activating player wanted to do another action. The rules as written probably supported the player doing that as there is no limit I know of on spending exertion points, except actions. I also don't know why the...

Can you elaborate on this? Why is it baffling? I would simplify combat. A character gets an Action and a Move action. They have to finish the one before using the other. If they get a Bonus Action, same rule applies. Once a character starts a new action, the old action is done. Of...

Maybe. I think it would solve a lot and simplify actions in combat.

Fair point. Merely offering what someone else said. Okay, what about this for an easy fix? Change the move action such that once they stop, their move is done. No more being able to move up to your full move around other actions. When you take your move action, you move and are done with...

I was talking to some people in the a5e discord channel and they didn't like Rattled because that feels more mental in nature, like a failed morale check, and stunned was more physical. Maybe slowed? I do like slowed as it has penalties to a roll that aren't disadvantage. I wonder if...

Okay, more playing with Stunning Assault and it's just OP. The fighter stunned a hydra and a purple worm. That's why I'm saying it's OP because it has no restrictions on what it can stun. I think anything that is larger than the fighter gets advantage on saves. Two steps larger is...

My group had a Marshall in the last game and they all thought it was the standout class. It helped that the player playing the Marshall was the most experienced role player and gamer, so knew how to use the Marshall's abilities to best use. Some observations about tonight's game. The...

@Pedantic My apologies if I said things you didn't mean. As I said, that wall of text was word salad with me spouting things out. I didn't mean to misrepresent you.

As I said in another thread, a Ranger dedicated to getting supply could easily get 4 / nightly activity, sometimes more. I couldn't challenge this group on Supply as much as I tried because of this. I don't know if the errata mentioned was used and would affect this. My group also talked...

Very interesting! Thanks! I have been running a few a5e games and giving out xp. I toned down what I was handing out but I will wasn't paying attention to specific amounts of xp the pcs had. I didn't intend for them to advance quickly but they have and this article/thread explains why...

As I read all of this, I think the issue with the maneuver is how soon martials gain it. As no one at my table has played an Adept yet, I haven't seen Stunning Strike. (Although in my PF1 game, a player played a monk there and used Stunning Strike very well.) Stun is a devastating condition...

As I said, I don't know the maneuvers well. I'm just throwing ideas out there. Fair on the weapon property. I would expect it to be rare and size limited but might be too much to do in this system, so I can drop it. As for greater than Con score damage to stun, in my group, the bard does a...

These are great ideas! Thanks! I agree that constructs should be immune to stun. What I didn't like about 3E was a fair number of monsters being immune to sneak attack, which is a class feature. By doing that, it "nerfed" a class ability. I don't mind doing this for stun because it's not...

Okay, I got another charge from Southampton but this time, it was the gazette kickstarter. I wonder if the previous one was an add on to a kickstarter? Still strange. Thanks again!
