Here, we can watch this. It is questions asked about Shaolin Monks, answered by a Shaolin Monk. I haven't watched it yet, but, I am about to! A Shaolin Monk answers questions!

Remember when Backstab was x*? Getting that x7 damage from an Assassin in the Thief Class Kit was great! Oh, I deal 8 damage? Multiply that by 7, mofos!

Ah, yes, I see my mistake now. I know better, I just do it on occasion without even realizing it.

P.S. I will admit, I am being a bit of a hypocrite, because in the setting I am creating Martial Artists are d8 instead of the d10 I am advocating for. I have no good reason, except the fact that I have 12 classes -- 3 which are d10 HP, 3 which are d8 HP, and 3 which are d6 HP, the Martial...

No, because you can be a Fighter with Leather Armor and a Rapier and still have more beefy HP. Also, think of large folks like Nathan Jones; Dan "the Beast" Severn; Brock Lesnar; Cain Valasquez, etc. They're large, most of them agile, and would fit under this Monk/Martial Artist category. I...

I would say because Rogues don't train that hard in terms of taking physical damage or being physically reliant. They operate from the shadows without hopes of you knowing they were there. They rely on Sneak Attacks, catching someone unaware. Yes, they can be played toe-to-toe, but if you're a...

Which game systems use this 3d6 mechanic? I have been collecting systems as of late.

The game was made with the current math in mind, if it was made with the cleaner math in mind I am sure it would be a fairly good job.

And speaking about abysmal damage, I hate how Monk, a trained fighter only starts with d4, where as any Sloppy Joe can take the Tavern Brawler feat and deal d4 with their extremities as well... That would be like Street Kimbo Slice (not UFC trained version) vs Junior Dos Santos but both of their...

It is more of a math thing. For the sake of the example we'll assume a character rolls a 20 and has a +5 bonus in their Stat. Then we will do normal Proficiency result and an Expertise result. Current Proficiency Bonus: 20 + 5 + 6 = 31 With Expertise: 20 + 5 + 12 = 37 Modified Proficiency...

I am often curious as to why the Monk, which is essentially a Martial Artist only a d8 for Hit Points? Classes like the Fighter; Paladin; Ranger get a d10 because it is supposed to symbolize their rugged life style and hard training. But, have you ever seen a Shaolin Monk or any other martial...

The current Proficiency Bonus is 2-6, and coupled with Expertise is 4-12. However, I am not a fan of the math, so I was thinking, would you folks prefer a 1-5 Proficiency Bonus, leaving Expertise to be a 2-10 bonus? And for a half bonus we could Proficiency Bonus divided by 2 rounded up, so it...

We have regular Proficiency 2 3 4 5 6 We have 1/2 Proficiency 1 2 3 We have 2x Proficiency 4 6 8 10 12 But, what about 1 and a 1/2 times (rounded down) Proficiency?!? 3 5 6 7 9 What are your thoughts on this idea?

Do you prefer the game to have a huge amount of Skills or a small amount of Skills? An example of a few Skills would be combining Jump; Swim; Climb into Athletics. An example of a lot of Skills would be dividing Athletics into Jumping; Swimming; Climbing; Running, etc. If a game has more...

Out of all of the Classes from every edition, which Class if your favorite and why?

3e did 1 1/2 x Str mod, right? So a Str of 20 would be +5 and 1/2 more again would be +7?

Let's say the Bastard Sword which can be either wielded 1 or 2 handed deals 2d4 damage when wielded in 1 hand. How much damage should it deal when used by 2 hands?

Just kidding! I don't want any of those back, except maybe Save or Die and a 25 Stat cap.

THAC0! Staggered stat bonuses! A dozen or more Saving Throws! Save or Die spells or effects! A stat cap of 25!

I am going to say, as a forever DM, most times in the games I have run the players appreciate the NPCs I introduce to join their party. I only recall one instance where a player was upset with a character and that is because the planned NPC was a Paladin while the player was playing a...
