I like NPCs as PC built. Short rest mechanics are tripled and used as Long rest and casters use Spellpoints so they can go "nova" vs PCs. 5th level wizard will probably not have 6-9 rounds to use all spellslots(depending if using shield/absorb elements). with spellpoints there is room for 5...

true, but in 25+ years, I have seen that most campaigns go for 8-10 levels of advancements or about 1-1,5 years.

I would say that game starts at levels 5/6. 1-4 is just training wheels. then you can keep the average campaigns to levels 12-15.

Every DM cries tears of joy when a "mage" player decides to play a "blaster". it's just damage. and not that good of a damage source. Fireball might be OK at 5th level, but the scaling is horrible. how to make fireball better? scaling: 4th level, 10d6, 25ft radius 5th level, 12d6, 30ft...

I would like to play 1E same way that I would like to drive Ford model T. Maybe once, so I can say I have driven it, but that is it.

18 works great. move chainshirt to light armor so light AC stays the same 12+5 vs 13+4. remove background/species ASI and have starting array; 16,16,14,14,12,10 still need 2 ASI slots to get to 18. for rolling I prefer: (4d3D1)×2, gives 6-18 spread, eliminates risk of too much odd scores and...

if you do not want that here is a variant house rule for you. Use ability scores ONLY for ABILITY checks. everything else ability modifier is replaced by proficiency bonus.

that is why they are called half-feats, you take two for one "feat slot" :p

I like that rule and we used it few times. But agreeing players to reduce power can sometimes be like pulling teeth, hehe. I have also floated idea that we all have same array at start(no ASIs later or from species) only from magic items. Array: 18,16,14,14,12,10. for ASI's, you take 2 feats.

And I said what solution could be. Either +1 mod or take 2 feats together without ASI bump. no need to track +1/2 mod in the background. I like this idea. do you allow also taking 2 feats together while forgoing their ASIs? IE: I want to take GWM and PAM together at 4th level, without any STR...

how does it not? just use modifiers. then when you get ASI level, increase one modifier by +1, or take 2 feats, no increase in stats with feats.

in current? +1 mod or 2 feats without ASI.

personally, I think that DND would lose nothing if we axed ability scores, they serve next to nothing in current game. multiclass requirement of 13? Just say +1 mod. carry capacity? 150 lb base, +/- 30lb per modifier. heavy weapons 15+. it's +2 mod.

with the new healing spells buff, changed goodberry to 20 berries, +15 per spell level over 1st. no nourishment provided. poor combat healing(uses bonus action, or Action for 3 berries or Action to administer 1 berry to unconscious target), but good total amount for topping off and out of combat...

I would rather compress it to 10 levels 10th level wizard/cleric has 10th level spells. Wish, True resurrection, Simulacrum is moved here. make every level beefier. and worth getting. and real jump in power. proficiency bonus 2+1/2 level, +7 at 10th level. 6 tiers of play. 1st level...

Gladiator needs more work. A lot more. It's not even Battlemaster light, it's battlemaster-but sucks. more or less same features but usage and DC keyed of tertiary stat for a fighter at best. maybe even 5th ability in priority order. another example of 2024 obsession of linking of ability...

Since I'm from Croatia, I run it mostly plain...

since it's a + thread, I will try to find my + sides of 4E, in my opinion that are worth keeping in some format. 1: at will spells(cantrips), this includes martial maneuvers. with scaling included. 2. removal of medium armor. It's hardly used in 5E and never in 3E.(outised mithral versions, but...

Ideally, every monster, except of most low levels ones(CR 0-3) should have a list of damage types that they are: resistant, immune, vulnerable, IE: Vampire: Immune: Necrotic, Lightning, Resistant; Cold, Non-magical weapons Vulnerable: Fire, Radiant heh, I would say everyone would. IE, for 3E...
