No, to the background water breathing, but races certainly can. Also, if you run sandbox so players have choices then they can choose to not go after adventures that require water breathing or into areas where is gonna kill them. They can go to other adventures - unless the GM forces them there...

I tend to agree the issue lies less with class mechanics than in other things, especially many GM choices as you describe.

Perhaps for some. I think perhaps some GMs want "classes" to do for the campaign what a robust, resilient and reactive setting and encounter approach will. To me, the race and background tend to play major roles in the social and exploration pillars - more than classes in many cases. But for...

Breath water fighter - why that particular combo? Was it an aquatic elf or other race that breathes water? Was it someone able to hold their breath? What was it that drove the PCs to need to ho underwater without preparation? Magic portal - might well be picked up by a paladin, depending on...

"* adding a default of increased depth to the social environment including factions, guilds, and other power bases that can be cultivated over time. access to NPC or other environmental resources that can provide depth through investment rewards from adventures that provide individual inherent...

I am not sure I see your position here. I have seen dwarven fighter be a force that pretty much dared the opposition to stop him before he killed them one by one due to the combination of expertise in build, equip, and play. I have seen barbarians switch between strike and grapple at key...

"SorLocks switched to different options that require less catering to in my encounter planning, so they are still effective, but I don't have to plan my encounters as much around this one ability. " So, can you give some examples of the other tier-3 to tier-4 options they switched to that you...

So, how did that work? Did just getting 10' max on that one invocation mean you saw far fewer warlock dips for the sorcs because all those other possible gains from thec3 level dip (short rest slots, invocations, more cantrips, pact boon, and patron features) all were seen as just not worth it...

Starting a basicsxseries for a new system at flanking seems like an odd choice.

Well, here is the rub for me... if there had been an option for paladin dies but other guy lives, then you kinda hot a choice of evil or not complicated by saving the world quest. Like the truck option slid in by the quote you showed. But here, after try to run failed to save guy, after try to...

"One thing at a time, hey? We're allowed to fix X even if Y is still broken. That's how progress is made." But viewing things in isolation and judging them as a problem - that is often a very flawed way to judge and fix in a complex system. If "fixing" this feature means the players still do...

This is where we differ then. Trying to do good and failing is not evil to me. Trying to save the one guy while still being able to try and save the world and failing is not evil, it's just failing. "Got caught by dragon, guy died in spite of my efforts, could only save me..." not evil...

Even then, as I recall the scenes leading up to that, it was in middle of full blown combat with a lot going on before that near them. So, given hp dont have to reflect physical damages, even if Frazier was mid- level, she could be at wsy less than full. That episode emphasized the new armor...

I am pretty sure that snswer is "no" by safe or errata. Yup SA compendium In contrast, a feature like the wizard’s Arcane Ward can take damage for you, potentially eliminating the need to make a Constitution saving throw or, at least, lowering the DC of that save.

Heck in Stargate SG-1, Oneill took a zat shot dead on then turned and killed his attacker(s) before blacking out.

Maybe already covered hut in 5e - maybe DMG, maybe PotA, I saw references to like 10 miles out spotting groups on the move from elevated position. It emphasized cover and obscurement rather than distance.

So, all this change would fo thrn is chsnge up dome of the other tactics to keep it doing what is doing now. Hey, if fhars good enough for your table to call it a "fix" then all I can say again is that thats fine and dandy and I am glad you found a house tule that "fixes" your table's issues...

Interesting... I love the druid for two reasons - more non-shift wild-shapes and to me elemental spin. I want more of these - at least three. I like the twilight- they need a hood travrller/wanderer domain. Naming tho - meh - legacy magic type sure but this is very uninspiring. It feels...

Mine are often outside, but rarely in a desert, so usually somebody has ducked into tree cover.

Except of course that thexwsrlock can ready to shoot when the striker moves to 10' rangen of the tanker, so that that shot always goes on thst strikers turn as a ready action just when they need it. Like somebody ssid, these things might show some lack of experience by some. But since noth...
