He tested with light chain armor, this seems very much a melee archery. It would not work if you needed to fire the distance of army sized battle fields, but in melee hmmmm .

Yeh it works as radiant heat damage to anyone who got near him when he was in a rage or bloodied or some such (there was a magic item in 4e that could be changed into a GMT which worked well for it) Can vorpal strike be a rare trained thing... well why not?

The snap shot archery I have seen was done very mobile it seems if you practice for it ... its not very disabling

Hmmmm not quite that but Cuh Cuhlainn when deep in his battle rage started generating body heat so high his touch would burn people and he couldnt turn it off after the fight had to be doused with water...

Nods, believable, 20 minutes would take good stamina though. Yeh I do not find 4 per 6 seconds overly impressive and there are archers that can do full draw accurate attacks in 1.5 seconds and they are definitely highly skilled though not legendary and there is a snapshot technique that can...

People thinking skills can be used constantly and at peak performance I don't know what world they live in, that isn't even realistic (and no I do not think realistic is a good D&D goal. The recent battlemaster maneuvers like Commanding Prescence is explicitly a fairly open ended buff to social...

Yes theme decks were the mainstay of myself and many others I played with it was even often a challenge to bring together the components.

Interesting thought and I have definitely had it before (I considered representing that danger with hit point loss expenditure) ... but I think I may have shifted on it. Here is another take. Classically ancient peoples did not differentiate between highly skilled performance and working a form...

It would be bloody interesting if it fit the fiction better in that way.

I love the show lie to me... even if its ultra hyperbolic at best and just plain pseudoscience on the other end (with some maybe valid in the middle). But when I am playing fantasy games high end insight can do the gamut yup yup yup.

Jordan was a DM for his kids and being TaVeren were intended to mean PCs... I purchase the d20 version of Wheel of Time Roleplaying. And they tried to make the magic feel right but it kind of didnt

Or something the DM wants the NPCs to be involved in. However to me one needs to level up what powerful means. For instance what if that potion/cure item is something that rejuvenates restoring in moments like you took a short rest. (in 4e such an item would help all classes). Some will go yes...

How about here http://www.birthright.net/

Rare generally speaking although if they used to be a PC its an exception and I occasionally work up a national class NPC in PC terms but its not nailed in stone. At base level PC rules don't necessarily work for my general story super well like I mentioned healing is normally performed ritually...

I consider that one vital.... he is sort of the anti-conan.

For me it is session zero material there is a rather witchy religious group on my game world called Bladedancers a player who wants to play a swordmage (which for 5e can use a 3pp similar in form to the Warlock) could be a member a gifted one (they discover their own arts which goes beyond the...

This...

The person in context used that word themselves at some level I just agreed, you are right though perhaps not everyone... and maybe some monsters in world might know (they never brought the idea of that up), but then if "only some or a few know" then you would not be playing monsters on "hard...

metal pole skill sounds like one of a Dancers trick, Cu Chulainn's feats, or a throwback to 1e's favorite tool

Nods l like that too... not much of a bean counter ... but abstracted difficulties are ok
