    D&D General Is character class an in-world concept in your campaigns?

    Thank you for pointing this out. I think this may be the source of our disconnect. Or I may just be obstinate. For me as the DM this number would be 0. Any number of NPC magical priests might have some cleric spells baked into their spell block, but they still would be completely unrecognizable...

    D&D 5E (2014) Fixing the fighter (I know...)

    I do this weird thing where if the player wants their character to try a long jump I think about whether they should automatically succeed, automatically fail or or if they should roll an Athletics check. Jumping rules? Don't need 'em.

    D&D General Is character class an in-world concept in your campaigns?

    I did not ask what he holy symbol looked liked I asked what using one looked like. How does that look distinctively different than say holding one out and gesturing for effect, perhaps while praying. Is that something that varies from deity to deity?

    D&D 5E (2014) Fixing the fighter (I know...)

    I would totally take MIndless Rage, Fanatical Focus, Aura of Protection, or New circle of the Moon forms over an ASI. But since I pretty much only play non-casters to half-casters I'm certainly no expert on all the features.

    Alright then. I would say it's decidedly middle of the road.

    D&D 5E (2014) So...resting in 5e

    This is only true for Journeys. However even in the adventuring phase the advice is that you can freely long rest if you have Safety from threat of Attack, Comfort, and Tranquility. Which is really just another way of saying the DM determines if the players can gain the benefits of a long rest...

    D&D 5E (2014) Fixing the fighter (I know...)

    I think it is what we are comparing. Or at least should be. The spellcaster gets access to level 5 spells at 5 true with is comparable to extra attack, but full casters are also getting another 3rd level slot at 6, Or am I mistaken? I don't play fullcasters.

    D&D 5E (2014) Fixing the fighter (I know...)

    If the built in feature is an something like an extra 3rd level spell slot? Then that one since it offers more power and more versatility than the extra ASI. But I am being majorly nitpicky. I actually don't think the Fighter doesn't get any options to explore the other pillars. I think the...

    D&D General Is character class an in-world concept in your campaigns?

    Not all Clerics get Heavy Armor. Marginally different depending Bard and cleric subclass in play. No Bardic ability or spell requires the Bard to sing. Any that has an options to sing also has an option for reciting verse, which could easily be scripture. Likewise no cleric ability forbids a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Fixing the fighter (I know...)

    I'm not sure they give up more to do so actually. The Fighters have those 2 extra feats, but that's part of a basic core class package that in theory should be equivalent in cost to the cleric core class package. The Fighter's extra feats come at the cost of other reduced class features...

    Eh, Barbarians besides Totem Warriors and Ancestral guardians fall into this category too. As do a lot of Monks I think.

    Do you think the upcoming 2 Dune movies by Denis Villeneuve won't have enough time to do it properly then?

    I really liked Tron Legacy and was interested to see where it was going. However it's big weakness was a mediocre Garrett Hedlund. It should have been his breakout role like Chris Pine's Kirk, but it was just ok. It's tough to build a franchise around an OK lead. This is the best coping...

    I think the Lynch film had a better budget and cast. The mini series stayed closer to the books, but I have little else good to say about it. At least the sequel had James McAvoy in it. Edit: I also like the Soundtrack of the film even if it is sheer 80s ridiculousness. Probably because of...
