Unless there is subtext I'm missing - you seem to be saying that this is a decent compromise? Yes it isn't ideal, since you lean 4e, but is it an acceptable middle ground? It wouldn't be used prematurely and aren't first lost, but also give a non-permanent pool of HP. Seems like a win-win to me...

I'm unclear on the exact arguments in this thread. But would what pemerton says here be a good compromise or something that satisfies neither side? Basically, not temporary HP that are first lost. (I'm not sure of the real argument here against it, but I'm wondering if making them not first...

Bah! I've stayed out of the conversation (about second wind) thus far because I think it only relates to DoaM tangentially, but now it seems we've hit the actual topic of this board and so.... Except this isn't what DoaM is.. It is wearing down your opponent... in a single round and killing...

I uh.. wow. Never considered using ENWorld to find people for video games/MMOs. I'm curious if you'll get any responses. What level are you looking for? Any details that are important (I'm meaning like which side, type of server, free-to-play vs subscription, guilding)? How often/when do you...

I know I've never been any game of D&D or PF that instituted such a cap on ability scores. In fact with my original D&D group we would routinely see how we could break the system - getting ACs over 100, STR over 100. One of my favourite characters is Ogreon - a half-dragon-(half?)-ogre with an...

No one is debating if a Cleric 1 has spontaneous casting. The debate is obviously in whether the Cleric can use spontaneous casting to cast spells out of his class. You should also then include the SRD reference: This seems to say that regardless of how many spells per day they get they have...

I honestly can't reply even with all the options listed there. I don't consider myself an old timer, I came over in 2008 when the WotC forums started transitioning into primarily 4e content. I only registered here to look up occasional content for about a year (I think) before finally switching...

While I've seen many people call it the PH over the years, I've always used PHB and probably always will. And as far as "when did it become standard" I think it was another that came with the rise of 4e. Prior to that I would most often see PHB (with some PHs mixed in) but after 4e I saw PH...

They ran 4 2h sessions and didn't even complete the main story they were going for. On each individual session they got a bit done, did a fight or a few but over all there wasn't much accomplished week to week. Is it enough time to clear a floor of a dungeon? Yes. A full dungeon? Possibly. It...

I think that in your questions you might be confusing "waste of time" with "too much effort" and for me at least that isn't the case. It isn't a matter of taking too long to set up, or being too difficult to keep people on target, or anything like that. For me, it is a waste of time I could be...

I was originally going to say Yes. But given the conditions I have to say No. - 2 hours to play a session in an ongoing/campaign game? That's kind of short but if it is all I had then yes absolutely I run that game. -> But 2 hours that interrupt my ongoing game to play something random? No. Why...

I agree that making subraces (especially with humans) gets bad and offensive really fast. I really do. In my games and specifically my setting I've gotten around this by essentially getting rid of the subraces in most respects. I have subraces for different continents but that is a...

I only filled in (with bold) entries you had ??? I didn't decrypt anything else or alter your own text. I didn't even read the entries except where you had ??? Anything I didn't fill in I couldn't tell either. I have some guesses but my best ones I included above. I hope I'm close.

I personally figured it was necessary until after the 5e book release. I'm expecting this issue and all manner of other issues to resurface once we see the finalized form of the books and mechanics. They're dormant at the moment only because we aren't continuously fed information via the...

As I asked Sadrik, why list it this way at all? What is the benefit? With wild elves and high elves and drow at least they are all elves. But with humans and half-humans, what is the end goal? Besides I see it working out more like: Human Elf, wild Elf, high Dwarf, hill Dwarf, mountain...

As for why it is in 13th age and not 'blown up' like it did with 5e I have a theory. Reason 1: With these discussions it seemed fairly well split for those in favour of the mechanic liking 4e generally speaking and those who did not disliking 4e or at least preferring other editions. And 13th...

I'm not sure I understand this particular distinction. I'm actually okay with this more or less. I would also put the underdark races together, but I can see why WotC would put Drow in the PHB and not the others (if it ends up going that way). I am curious why "hybrids" is a term, but again, I...

Yeah, that's not going to work for me. First, Lizard Folk - neither are lizards both are draconic. Also, you forgot .. unno.. Lizardfolk? Second, WHICH tieflings? Isn't that the point of half this thread? Third, while I have few problems with humans and half-humans being grouped together I...

You wouldn't. I didn't quote or mention you. You should now though. It wasn't a long time or anything I was just slightly worried due to the activity I saw that you may not see my reply. We're all good now. So, I'm building using a certain EXP value? Alright. I'll have to brush up on such, I...

I'm totally interested. This actually sounds ideal for me. I'm familiar with Pathfinder. Never used roll20 but my assumption is that it is similar to Maptools (which I have briefly used). That lack of familiarity is my only real sticking point. I have also briefly played in FR, but I have some...
