This seemed like it would be odd, so I had to check it out. None of the 1st degree Sanguine Knot Maneuvers are grappling or knocking down. Double Team lets an ally shove an enemy as a bonus action along with an attack. Shoulder Check lets you knock an enemy that just hit an ally 10 feet away...

Don't worry, I couldn't find it except for that direct URL either. I suspect that is to help keep it from casual searches until it is ready to be open to the general public.

I am almost completely unconcerned with whether a Fighter can out DPR an Adept. In fact I rather think a Fighter should do so. However, the point that 2WF misses out on ability scores for damage is good to remember. So a 5th level Adept can go for regular 2WF for free or spend Exertion on...

I'm looking forward to more news about the character generator, but I understand that app development can be tricky to predict even for the people who are actively working on it.

I'm not particularly adept (heh) at 5th Edition in general, so let me try and break it down so I understand. Extra Attack gives you two attacks for one action. Two-Weapon fighting allows you to spend your bonus action for another attack with your off-hand weapon. If you also have Extra...

I am absolutely fine buying a rule book and a setting book. It is buying the same content multiple times that irritates me. And NWOD is only the most recent example. D&D has been making a rulebook set and specific setting books for ever. Imagine if you had to buy a PHB every time you picked...

Multiple core books is what kept me from diving into Star Wars. Not the funky dice. I don't want to buy the same system content three times. Well, twice. There was never a world where I was going to buy the Jedi book. But the outer rim scum or alliance troop games were tempting options.

So.... this is like Interdimensional Cable from Rick and Morty only with a D&D session instead of improv exercises?

We get a lot of anti-union rhetoric in some jobs too. I worked at Office Depot and I think that every year there was a UNIONS BAD refresher. You could replace the work "union" with "corporate" in all of them, though. "I don't want somebody standing between me and my manager" Corporate did...

So... Flurry of Blows- Right after you take an attack action (hit or not, just take the Attack action), spend 1 exertion to make two more attacks, specifically unarmed attacks. Hit at them with a sword, kick at them twice. If I get how 5e works, if somebody has an Extra Attack, it is still...

I do like the idea of a vampire weak to total darkness though. As if there is something in the shadows that will devour their undead flesh if they are unlit.

I've got to say, I've been pretty burnt on D&D and its overall tropes lately, but this sounds well put together and interesting.

Yes, I know that nets and sleep spells and things exist, but mechanically the best way to keep somebody down is still mostly to hit them until they stop.

For me it is that non-lethal damage has never really been a satisfying angle. It still takes a lot of work to neutralize somebody and it isn't like you aren't beating the crap out of them. What the game needs for this is good take down techniques that don't involve bludgeoning somebody into...

Granted, said murder elves can do both things, slaughter bad people AND make the world a nicer place to live, but that is more a black ops set up than actual law enforcement.

Non-Lethal damage supposing to be a mitigator is also pretty laughable. Even with it, even before the renewed focus on police brutality, the solution involved still boils down to "hit the problem in the face until it is neutralized." That wouldn't have really gone over well In 2016 either...

While acknowledging that "hey, timing got really bad on this one," is fine I think this was a missed opportunity for them to go on the high road and emphasize genuine heroics in law enforcement. Fight not only the criminals on the street, but the criminals in your own ranks. Combat corruption...

Why would they try to figure out something that there might not be any observable evidence for when they have their own magic that they can have a good persecution complex about? If it is as hard as it seems from what little I've seen it would be a discovery as profound and game changing as...
