    D&D 5E (2014) Stargate D&D 5e details from gencon

    Sorry but it depends on what chsnges they make. Adding weapon properties like shock or wounding to certain weapons to cause conditions that make thst less desirable than shooting ftom cover and throwing grenades is ridiculously easy.

    D&D 5E (2014) Stargate D&D 5e details from gencon

    Endurance also works for me. Since Stargate doesnt have to carry over the D&D legacy naming, its possible. Although, even that cosmetic a name change has to bex weighed realistically against the "like 5e" appeal. The easier it is for 5e fans to move over, the fewer cosmetic differences, the...

    Pathfinder 2E Balancing encounters (and converting stuff from other editions)

    "A rpg that let players forget about tactics & positioning and roll like crap and not get hammered into the ground wouldn't be worth playing. Otherwise why roll dice? You guys kill everything you WIN! " I think you may have gone to an extreme the OP neither claimed nor endorsed. "Less than...

    D&D 5E (2014) Eldritch Blast and Repelling Blast - One time or Each Hit?

    Nope I am presuming a variety of cases where initiative would work out - because obviously, the tactic would not be used in specifics where it would not work. Other options would be chosen. But, simply put, the use case still exists. Sounds like you are accounting for only cases where 10' wont...

    D&D 5E (2014) Stargate D&D 5e details from gencon

    Yeah, hp do well imo at covering the extended combats. All that's needed to simulate the vagaries of stargste to me as a core element is to add conditions to hits in dome cases. If gunshots can also stun or incapacitate or even inflict dying death saves in certain circumstances- unarmored, not...

    D&D 5E (2014) Eldritch Blast and Repelling Blast - One time or Each Hit?

    Yup... it's why I keep saying "warlock" over EB. It's not the cantrip performing these tests of awesome gsme smashing tier-4 mayhem... it's a class with multi-class etc getting to fo awesome stuff- much like the others at their level get as well. I get that it's fun to look at one thing and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Eldritch Blast and Repelling Blast - One time or Each Hit?

    Maybe I misunderstood. One case brought up was using EB with repelling to move a tanky guy out of the way so melee strikers could approach a non-tanky ranged guy. Moving a tanky guy 10' should be sufficient to open that gap. You dont need to move folks 30' or so yo open a gap for melee guys...

    D&D 5E (2014) Eldritch Blast and Repelling Blast - One time or Each Hit?

    Obviously house rules can change a lot and allowing twin to work on multi-target spells might indeed impact these warlocks perceptions at any table. Certainly if we are looking at twinned multi-shots each eb with repelling that raises the stakes a bit... for how seriously they see their EB...

    D&D 5E (2014) Paladin oath. What constitutes willingly breaking your oath/code?

    If you qualify this paladin vs dragon as an evil act, what would have been a good one, given the paladin had no choice? What were the neutral choices and the good choices? To me, going and getting an innocent to hand over to a dragon - sure evil. Trying and failing to save an innocent and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Eldritch Blast and Repelling Blast - One time or Each Hit?

    EB can only be teinbed at levels 3-4. After that it can affect two targets and cannot be twinned. That said, yes for levels 3-4 you can get some turns firing one EB with + Cha at one target and another one EB at a second target - both needing a to-hit roll. You have invocation to make this...

    D&D 5E (2014) When do you think a character build concept reaches maturity?

    I dont ho in for builds that wont be "who they are" later than 6th, 4th to 5th preferably. But most of thevtier-2 should be "it".

    D&D 5E (2014) Paladin oath. What constitutes willingly breaking your oath/code?

    I agree that yo ne tgars not gonna be an oath break. It was just an example being tossed around to somehow describe a smart villain due to its impact on the paladin oath.

    D&D 5E (2014) Eldritch Blast and Repelling Blast - One time or Each Hit?

    Ok, so the difference in sorcerer points is whether at5th you have it for five rounds or two - which seems a significant difference. That is why I mentioned it as a point I was wondering about - given all these house rules being thrown about. Note however, a proposal I think being claimed to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Eldritch Blast and Repelling Blast - One time or Each Hit?

    Which I believe, in the post you edited after quoting sections, I said would be dandy if you chose to use that as a motivation for the change at your table. But... it still stands, if you are one of the folks who sees pushing a tanky screen out of the way exposing their non-tanky ranged guys to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Paladin oath. What constitutes willingly breaking your oath/code?

    So then the dagger-girl-suicide to get the paadin to off themselves is not applicable at all?

    D&D 5E (2014) Paladin oath. What constitutes willingly breaking your oath/code?

    Well, there is something else implied here that is needed - that in this world it is true and known that whatever forces guide the Paladino's oath require such a sacrifice. That going after the villain risking the girl's life or just not suididing is in fact a fall from grace choice. Or that...

    D&D 5E (2014) Eldritch Blast and Repelling Blast - One time or Each Hit?

    I did not raise a simple one-brute example. It's been raised all thru this thread way before I got here, its why I felt a comment was needed. Its not my example, just an ongoing reference here I commented on. I thought it was pretty obvious by the last post at least that it is a smattering of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Eldritch Blast and Repelling Blast - One time or Each Hit?

    yup the enemy can apparently strike from range and directions to disrupt a formation critically so... so hey guys lets go into a formation defense without any other plans!!! But again, i do not get how its somehow disagreeable to suggest folks talk it over with their players and come to an...

    D&D 5E (2014) Eldritch Blast and Repelling Blast - One time or Each Hit?

    I think you might be overusing strawman. Again, my response to moving obstacles was just to clear that up. I did not use it to refute the rest of the argument, just to clear up that error, right? Has fact-checking now become a strawman? Second, if you want to imagine those who disagree are...
