Maybe you were saying all that. Most of us weren’t. 🤷‍♂️

While I dislike other aspects of these rules I like that leaving hiding doesn’t necessarily reveal you and I think it’s necessary that there is wiggle room in the description of what reveals you. The 4e rules were even sometimes too restrictive with moving and then attacking while hidden not...

I mean it makes sense. You stay hidden (by whatever Name) while you move, until you perform an action that reveals you, or some successfully searches for you, or whatever. Truesight automatically detecting you only makes sense if Truesight sees through objects, which it doesn’t. Blindsight...

Huh. That’s pretty much exactly how my group runs stealth in pretty much any d20 based game. Since before 4e came out, regardless of the actual rules.

Expanding on the treating hordes as basically a creature in parts. They become “bloodied” when half their numbers are lost. Ie, if you conjure 6 wolves and 3 get killed, the remaining 3 have the bloodied condition. They add damage by acting as a group. If all 6 wolves circle an enemy, that...

Ideas for group casting specific spells. These would also work as alternate upcasting benefits. Unseen Servant - extend the time and number of servants, or keep the number small and get a greater servant that can do complex tasks, speak, and lift heavy loads. A dozen casters (or one caster...

Physic engine systems, like the Portal Gun, or satisfying telekinesis. In my own system, all elemental magic, and most stuff in general, works like this. You have some basic parameters and a universal resolution mechanic, and the skill describes what it basically does and what sorts of things...

For sure. Selfishly, I just want a new printing of the existing alt covers, because I didn’t get any of them. But new special covers would also be rad, and makes more sense as part of a box set.

Here are some ideas to enhance boss fights, simplify the use of 2014 style conjure spells, and expand the utility of magic in a way that doesn’t sideline martials. ——————————- Boss Monsters. Instead of legendary resistances as written, legendary critters have Legendary Defense. Legendary...

I think if they can get second printings of the alt covers out in a box set, or even just individually, they will sell like hot cakes all over again, and the FR and Eberron books will also sell like crazy, so it’ll be a while I think before any sort of downturn in sales, assuming they don’t eat...

My Rogue Wizard could be an artificer instead, I suppose, but he would feel very different. Same my Monk/Ranger, could just be a monk, but she would lose a ton of flavor and mechanical representation of her concept. I take a concept and make a character. Sometimes that leads to multiclassing...

There are infinite concepts, and like 200 subclasses max. I have character ideas literally daily that 5e doesn’t easily model the fantasy of, or that require a class I wouldn’t enjoy playing or that I don’t think fits the concept even though the subclass does, etc. A thousand ways to play...

The only thing allowed by Strahd being mentioned is the use of his name and anything about him explicitly stated in the SRD. Anything else is still copyrighted. Not mentioning him in 5.2 has no effect on that, it just means that people won’t read 5.2 and think that it allows them to copy-paste...

That review was objectively incorrect lol

For me, all the races need mechanics or you aren’t playing a different kind of creature at all, and there is no point. That said, gnome. As for what race would especially bother me to have no mechanics….probably Dragonborn and any flying race.

I don’t roll initiative for the assassin taking out a guard, it’s just a quick skill challenge. I also don’t make combat be always to the death. Sometimes the enemy runs or surrenders. In the penultimate fight example, I’d use a mechanic from my own system, and let them call in a contact to...

Looking at the Toril map, I’d say that there is plenty of room for a large continent between Osse and the stuff around Matzica. I’d put the whole Nerath-adjacent known world there, if I had to put it all in Faerun. Or in the lands between Sembia, Cormyr, and the big desert I can’t be bothered...

He’s a great actor. 🤷‍♂️

My buddy pulled it up on discord tonight and played with it and I’m excited by how quickly and simply it did the job. We are gonna make maps in it and then upload them to Maps on DDB and check that out.

That is objectively fallacious logic. Whether etc innovates or not aside, it is absolutely possible to innovate within an existing product line.
