I think we only get ONE action at this point: Identify religious symbol = 22

Grim has proficiency in both Perception and Religion, but in terms of usefulness and having to make only one roll, I was thinking of using it for "perception check if one decides to look for assassins in other windows from this vantage", also because we can delay investigations to after we're...

Grim aims her shortbow for a second at those attacking the lone cleric in the alley, but before she could let her arrow fly she notices the others going up the stairs and chooses to follow them. While still cautiously keeping an eye at the door to the outside, she joins the ambush on the upper...

I am not sure what rolls are needed here, so I'll post a bunch of them and feel free to ignore irrelevant ones! Grim's Initiative: 23 Grim's Stealth: 10 Shortbow Attack Roll: 13 Shortbow Damage Roll: 6 Sneak Attack Damage (if applicable): 10

Mmm, lots of options now... I was thinking that Grim would next start helping the cleric with ranged attacks from the current position, but she is very good at stealth so if you want to scout above or make am ambush, she probably has the best chance in the team. Then also, she could use again...

Well I have been rolling so poorly that she might have missed a pink glitter grand piano in the middle of the room by now

Both :) They wanted them optional since the first iteration in the playtest IIRC, but they also wanted each feat to represent more like an added role or identity rather than a single ability or boost. That's why they were all named as referring to what a character is ("Healer"...

Intelligence (Investigation) check for searching: 7 Wisdom (Perception) check for listening: 8

An idea that sometimes visits my mind, could be to separate HP in two different pools, one half HP is short.-term and the other half is long-term. Short-term HP are lost first when damaged, and can be healed magically and with normal long rests. Long-term HP are lost only when you have no...

I like feats since 3e, but for a 5e-alike I'd rather go back to the original premise of 5e which was supposed to be that feats are a big deal, therefore I voted "no half-feats". Everything else, I have no preference.

"Why did you come back? You're invisibile, you already have much better advantage in melee than higher ground, we can support you from range." Grim takes a quick glance around the room: "There's no exit here, so in order to get to higher ground, we would have to go outside and climb the walls...

"Before you rush it buddy... let's make sure we have a mock of a plan, at least on how to protect ourselves from more infected volleys. I don't think our new employer will be around to clean us up a second time! Do you happen to have any possibility to share your... invisibility tricks?"

Standard 6. No ASI, or small and fixed based on either creature type or culture.

Grim doesn't quite understand how or why, but the more Judex speaks, the more a sense of relief grows with her. Perhaps... even a sense of purpose. Her voice is now more calm than ever, as she addresses the mysterious entity respectfully but also candidly: "You've already heard my answer on your...

I am largely in favor of asymmetrical balance because I am one of them. But really I don't think we're few. And certainly, anyone can be a good DM. However, once symmetrical balance seems to become the wanted target, I think people will always look at discrepancies, the more the balance is...

"I'll hold onto my soul a little longer thank you, but I am willing to pledge to aid this town on your behalf... the only difficulty is figuring out how, exactly. I admit I am not particularly used to acts of generosity, nevertheless I understand what it means. But stability is quite a lot...

You know what... I've read your encounter summary, and before I read your other posts I was unable to determine whether you were complaining that it was too easy or too hard, or if otherwise you were happy that it met your expectations. This tells me, that if you just describe how an encounter...

Risus is the lightest RPG I know about (and played).

Mundane by default. The game has no shortage of options anyway to add magic or supernatural to any individual character if you want to.

I would say that in my opinion most gamers (at least when they start playing a new RPG) they will look at the both monsters and character options and assume all of the exists somewhere in the game, hence a sort-of implied setting. Spells and magic items do the same on a smaller scale, for...
