I think that is okay. It is more "realistic" and if the DMs knows the effects on gameplay he can act accordingly. Like, also, In Town is usually not where the strategic essource management part of D&D is played put, its where you prep for it. I wouldn't do it with different Variants of Rest...

The 35 rounds of offense seems quite a lot. Based on my calculations in the first Post in this thread, at 18 rounds a Fighter and Wizard are somewhat equal. With 36 rounds, the fighter will do twice the damage a wizard will do, if the wizard would use all his Spell slots to do use the highest...

By digging trenches!

But what is your basis? Like, Fighter and Wizards are even in Damage output between 9 and 18 rounds of battles between long rest over all levels. At higher levels the Wizards will have more low level spells to do stuff outside of combat. Like, what are you trying the balancing for? A 5 minute...

Because Furries. KYNOKEPHALOI is a handful to say and write ... I would play that, but maybe that would be a better background?

I think the problem can be solved if you gate access to certain spells by Subclass or another method. A Wizard who picks a school of magic as his subclass should be a master of that school of magic. But because every wizard gets every spell, that is just not the case and so you can't really do...

What else could we change in spell via a class feature - maybe duration. Spell components. Targets. Non-Arcane Spells is an idea - like, the generalist can choose spells from proficient schools of magic of the cleric, druid or Bard spell list (or primal/divine spelllist if they will appear int...

That is a leftover from my Gradual Gritty Realism Rules. If you don't wanna use that, the Wizzard can have the normal long rest spell slot regeneration. I was thinking more of adding some more general or advanced (proficiency) higher level spells, but didn't find the creativity yet to do that...

Ladies and Gentleman, I present to you the Wizard 2.0! He comes with three subclasses: The Specialist, the Generalist and the Bard (okay, the last one is an even bigger experiment, because I my mind, the Bard is an arcane magic user that is basically a wizard who went to Arts school ... if you...

I actually asked the DM to search the City for suitable candidates. Like wreckless people who wouldn't really question being recruited to ride Velociraptors and fight the most dangerous crime syndicate ... we landed in front of the Orphanage.

Oh, I wouldn't put a Wealthy by level table player facing. But the problem now is, if a new DM uses the treasure tables of the DMG he will not know how much money the players will get approximately. They wouldn't even know that this is important, because the DMG has like nothing on spending all...

But the problem is, that the classes are a mess. They have so much mechanically and thematically overlap ... Like, there is no niche protection, there is no one party role ... Like, I was thinking the other day how I would create a psionic class. And the biggest Problem I ran into was, that...

I developed Gradual Gritty resting rules: https://www.enworld.org/threads/long-rest-variant-my-gradual-gritty-realism-variant-rules.700415/ The gist is: On a short test you can use one hit die + con to regain temporary HP. This represents that during a short rest you only do some first aid...

So, maybe let's go back at the topic at hand. I think the lack of use for Gold and Treasure is a DM and DMG problem. First the DMG: When a new DM reads the DMG (I did!) he is not told, how much Gold characters are expected to find per level. There are treasure tables and stuff but what is...

Maybe they should ger rid of all martials and just make them subclasses of the fighter. Are Monk, Paladin, Barbarian and Ranger really distinct enough that they couldn't be done as subclasses for a fighter? What is a Monk if not an unarmed fighter? What is a Paladin but a fighter who's attacks...

One could use Impact per Second.

Nah, it is also a different taste ... Like ... Star Trek - the most popular The Next Generation Character in Germany was Data. In the USA it was Picard I think (read the polls to that some time ago). In the US Kirk is more popular than Spock (in TOS, don't know the popularity for new Trek), in...

A Red Dragon appearing for 1st Level Party is of course not a consequence. It is a bad DM. I already brought my own examples from actual play for a living breathing world and I'm all for consequences for player actions.

That is true. In the campaign I'm a player in, I play a (order of scribe) Wizard. So my ideal damage output looks a lot like my calculations in the first post, because I don't get damage bonuses from my subclass. Yesterday we continued our dungeon delve. I already used up 2 of my 4 spellslots...

So, I started the poll and so far I have over 100 Answers, but of course I can't really call it representative yet, but so far the Paladin is in the lead with 13%, followed by the cleric with 10%. Warlock & Rogue are at 8%, Fighter at 7 and Wizard at 6%. Least liked class so far is the Sorcerer...
