    D&D General Stretching Bounded Accuracy?

    Honestly, if I did it I'd go with number 2, but I'd start level 1 at +1 and finish at +10. Bonuses don't mean a whole heck of a lot and the first two levels go by lickity split anyway.

    In a fantasy world filled with magic and miraculous beings, will the religious concepts of the locals be completely different from the human of Earth?

    Why does that matter? My point is that the gods in a fantasy game can and do prove that they are gods.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I did the same thing. My wife was okay with it, but I wasn't about to spend a million dollars on a house only to have "rent" and other folks telling me what I can or can't do with my house.

    In a fantasy world filled with magic and miraculous beings, will the religious concepts of the locals be completely different from the human of Earth?

    It's not a cult thing. The Bob idea wouldn't work, because you have to have complete faith in the divine concept. Essentially, it's for things like having Taoism in D&D. A religious concept without a god being involved. Trying to have faith in Bob the fighter as a religious figure to the...

    D&D 5E (2024) NPCs, and the poverty of the core books

    That's not a denial of access. That's a challenge to be overcome! (Turns to the rest of the group and begins planning how to kill the current wielder) :p

    D&D General I'm a Fighter, not a Lover: Why the 1e Fighter was so Awesome

    Thanks! Mostly +1s, but that +2 is in there for swords. And half of them are improved against various creatures.

    D&D General I'm a Fighter, not a Lover: Why the 1e Fighter was so Awesome

    Huh. I mentioned upthread that I had a few 1e DMs cap exp like this. Now I know where they got it from! The all caps portion seems to me to be consistent with the first portion. The all caps reads to me like the thief with 1200xp doesn't have enough for 2nd level yet, so if he gets 800 more...

    D&D General I'm a Fighter, not a Lover: Why the 1e Fighter was so Awesome

    It has been ages, but I vaguely remember the basic rules only having +1 weapons in them.

    Removing the slower leveling of magic users also contributed.

    In a fantasy world filled with magic and miraculous beings, will the religious concepts of the locals be completely different from the human of Earth?

    I disagree. The super powers of PCs and NPCs is not one that radiates complete divinity like gods do. Nor are the PCs and NPCs immortal and pretty much unkillable unless you are also a god. I don't know of any pantheon where a mortal can just become one of the gods. Generally it takes the...

    In a fantasy world filled with magic and miraculous beings, will the religious concepts of the locals be completely different from the human of Earth?

    People used to worship it as a god. Then we realized it wasn't. That said, if you walked outside tomorrow and the sun took human form before your eyes and descended to speak with you without blinding you when you looked at, healed a loved one of her incurable disease, had an aura of divinity...
