Given concentration can be broken, I see no problem whatsoever with allowing multi spell concentration. In fact it would make playing casters more interesting again, instead of buffbots, counterspellers and cantrip/ritual spammers.

Six city maps for the Midlands (including blank versions for folks to edit themselves): https://lowfantasygaming.com/2017/11/06 ... -midlands/

Yeah interesting. I think on reflection I wiould like to see an initiative rule that includes a 5 finger countdown (5 secs). If you dont declare what you're doing within that time, you lose your turn. Pretty severe, but it would add a level of stress to battle (or perhaps, for some...

Yep that's a great story

What about the following. Only players roll for initiative. Make an old school Dex check (trying to roll under Dex, 20 auto fails). If success, that PC goes before the monsters. If great success (say rolls <half stat), they also go before any boss monsters. If more than one player succeeds, they...

A quick review over on I See Lead People :D https://lowfantasygaming.com/2017/10/27/quick-review-at-i-see-lead-people/

ACtually that's fair enough - I have a bunch of links bookmarked for quick NPCs etc. What I find though is often the name lists or NPCs etc are too generic - they are suited to my particular world. The thing about these lists - I presume - is that the authors have curated the lists to reflect...

I think there's some great GM stuff in here. The lists of names are invaluable for improvising imo, all in one spot, no need to google it and sift through the dross, etc.

8 x Pregens (1st level, one for each class): https://lowfantasygaming.com/2017/10/09/8-x-pregen-characters/ Mini adventure #31: Vengeance at Trollbridge https://lowfantasygaming.com/2017/10/16/vengeance-at-trollbridge/

Free attack when you drop someone or crit, plus a Str or Dex boost, is still a great feat imo. Just not OP.

Yeah, imo martial damage dealers are already in the driver's seat in 5e. They still deal the most damage overall and never run out of sword swings. And almost every subclass gets magic too, so....

The best and simplest way to fix the -5/+10 mechanic is to delete it. Make those feats "half feats" instead, giving +1 Str or Dex in lieu.

As far as 5e goes, you are probably right :)

Yes true, well I start to describe what hte spell looks or feels like.. then they decide

no it isnt. But it's nice to try and make it so, despite the devs.

It's not even realistic though to attack a downed PC. Not when there are viable threats up on their feet. Even healers on their feet. You would simply try and disable the healer first.

Exactly this. It's woeful and should have been eliminated in playtesting. And that's with only one enemy (or PC) counterspeller... it basically just removes combat magic from the game (sigh)

Why - coz negating spells is boring! How should wizards duel? By blasting the sh*t out of each other with their magics, o' course ;)

Death is faaaaaar too rare and difficult in 5e for my tastes, and then when it happens, trivially overcome with revivify, a mere 3rd level spell. Here is the fix to make 5e dangerous: (1) remove all raise dead type magic from PC spell lists, (ii) only one death save at zero hp, not three.

Counterspell should be torn from the spell lists and hurled in the bog of eternal stench, never to be seen again.
