I don’t believe in blocking people, if people can’t follow a simple request then it says more about them. Also blocking messes up the forum threads. It’s my first attempt with this poster. None have failed before either.

Well you can DPS more than you think with 3 attacks all the time. You took mobile so your dex is 16 I assume? Thats still 2d8+6 and then d6+3 unarmed all the time, thats not bad. Make sure you get your attacks across. Proning creatures increases someone else DPS and cuts their speed in half...

For those who dont know what OSR style game means there is a good summation. Actually since I played when these games were being invented (I am older) this is how I learned to DM and still DM, I read this before every session I play. Anyway, here it is: "This is a quick guidebook I've...

I am fine with changing class fictions, I never said that. I said all I would require is that it be well thought out with a backstory and working with the DM to fit into the over all picture. I am ok with changing almost anything, with the caveat you need more than "I think this will be a...

My god that made me feel old.

My god that made me feel old.

They do and this thread is pretty good The noble barbarian is common in fiction. “Uncivilized” people showing far more “nobility” then the civilized people trying to conquer or exploit them is a recurring theme. I also didn’t follow through on barbarian with street urchin background. Seems...

If it’s full of moral questions, dilemmas and repercussions then you are using alignment you just calling it something else.

I distinctly said its not power level problem. And since you haven't used alignment since Reagan then you wouldn't know what the difference is between playing with and without is correct? It wasn't descriptive either, see Dragon Magazine, many articles, here is a listing: "Alignments...

MC definitely results in a stronger Bard since level 20 is terrible. But you are correct in general. Its not a power level issue, its a story issue. I have an entire world and its all related, especially if its the movers and shakers doing it, which the PCs are. Its like Living Greyhawk...

No, its also through alignment and world repercussions. But then alignment isn't an issue as I have come to believe from this forum and others its just glossed over. The power level of the pally-lock-sorc, which I think is vastly overstated, isn't an issue as long as you bring it all together...

The assumption of everyone playing in good faith is one I thought was true but I am seeing that it isn't.

This is of course correct. Most times a player who wants to do something different with his PC can just play it differently, but they wont do that so they need to change a class in somewhere to give them guiderails. Being competitive gamers of course they build in an advantage without knowing...

But it is a balance consideration. If you ignore it, then you give the players carte blanche, that leads to murder hobo Devotion Paladins, Oathbreaker Paladins that love the their team, Hexblade MC for all CHR classes, everything. If that fits into your world for your PC then it also has to...

Not as much today even though the Paladin is still better than the fighter. But it is part of the whole idea, like alignment. Some just blow it off as a non consideration, just pick a Paladin oath they think is most powerful mechanically and just ignore everything else. Most don't even pick...

I haven't either but that's approaching the problem from the wrong direction. I get what you are saying though. The direction is most recently "Dip Hexblade 1 for all of its benefits with CHR Pc's and don't worry about any background, backstory or whatever just use its great benefits." While...

In a certain sense all PC have baggage in some sense, that's why they become adventurers. But you are correct, once you play a class with a limitation of some sort, even a very low ability score, it changes the way you view the game for the better and is MUCH MORE entertaining. If you put in...

How do you know this from the developers? I have yet to see or hear anything of that motivation. And since the DM controls the setting and everything in it they can do that. I haven't played in or heard of a game where the DM lords over the players though on an unfair basis due to class...

Mechanically speaking you left out very important mechanics, rules about dueling ability, weapon properties, creature size, and interaction of all those. Plus the comparison should be between a Lance and a Pike, the closest comparison. Lance - IMO the two handed property was not added to...
