Oh yeah, they just added support for 2024 character sheets! I haven't tested that yet, just made sure nothing about my Drakkenheim campaign broke on the move to the new interface.

Land's Stride was a thing, too, but just got removed for the lols. I'm glad I got playing a Beast Master out of my system in 2014+Tasha... doing it in 2024 would hit differently.

It's crazy good there, for sure. Dual spears are somehow faster than a single spear, and reach farther, for twice the damage. Outside of that, I struggle to think of something that didn't present it as one spear held high, one low (to be ready to throw or thrust, respectively). So having two...

Well, for 10 years they had disadvantage to attack adjacent targets (just to have d12 damage vs halberd/glaive d10). Now, they no longer have that limitation, and are the only reach weapon with Topple (for what that's worth, as you cannot benefit from someone being prone yourself unless you get...

People have been running playtest campaigns for a year now... You know what takes the longest time? The exact same stuff as before - moving characters around on a grid, counting the movement on said grid, optimizing AoE placements, GM having to take each NPC's turn, all the chaff from the game...

It muddies the waters, I feel. Especially when a lot of their other races are making strong claims about biological defaults (and only some are allowed to have subraces). And it seems silly to call someone a dwarf when they literally cannot be small...

It is. It uses your same save DC, but now the NPC rolls with their skills? Which the NPCs don't tend to have... but it makes you check anyway.

Oh yes, it definitely is a problem. I did not mean it is great, it's just... fine. You can live with this, you can make use of this, it's just not a reliable tool (so it's usually not worth it unless you have the bloody Spike Growth up). The closest you get to a dedicated Grappler is someone who...

I have run into cases where players are still acting like grappling is an unknowable forest of rules, simply from the generational trauma of 3e grappling.

2024 Grappling is fine. It just gets weird because it is only seen as an extension of Spike Growth. The real changes to grapple have been... a) unreliable to trigger, being a save vs DC (that there is no way to increase) b) Grappler feat is kind of good (if you have an unarmed damage die...

I have to say, as long as I have to individually move/roll/act for every single goblin, I'm not feeling particularly super.

While I'm curious to see what Luke Crane's hit-or-miss ideas can get out of Dungeon World... It doesn't sound like he's going to do any bold changes (that'd be needed), and I'm not in this hobby to fund creepy weirdos.

I moved to a new city, set up a forum post looking for a new gaming group... and completely and instantly forgot about making that post. Then one day 6 months later I remembered it, and logged on to check on it, just when it had gained comments only in the last 3 days. And that's been my gaming...

Epic boons are a bit weird - how are these an element that needs to be in the PHB, rather than a little tool tucked away in the DMG? They'd serve a purpose if they were meant to be the balancing tool for martials, who'd start getting them every level 10 levels early...

lv11 feature, Flurry of Healing And Harm, no focus cost for Harm/Heal during Flurry, can replace multiple attacks with Heal. It's a really tame lv11 feature, because you're past the Ki-starved phase of your life by then (and base lv3 Heal already allowed you to replace one attack of a Flurry at...

I find this discovery funny, since this has been the case since 4e. Glad they didn't backtrack to 3e on this.

'you have Advantage on your next attack roll against that creature before the end of your next turn'

I think it is, when the standard has been to list requirements without it. Now it's just listed as 'upscaler', and that can mean anything - you could theoretically upscale a game from a starting resolution of 240p and say it runs fine.

Ubi releasing Outlaws system requirements that assume DLSS (or similar) in use... does not fill me with confidence in that game's optimization. I mean, DLSS is amazing and I'll run it on everything, but that's not the point.

Look, I start from hitpoints = meat points. There is nowhere to go but hyper-violence.
