4E STRIKES AGAIN! yes i know healing surge and daily power attrition was a thing but sh

to my knowledge, yeah, psyching your opponent out in chess basically amounts to trying to kick them out of their prep (and preferably straight into your own) as quickly as possible. as a (fictional) theoretical physicist once said - "You could be Einstein or Tesla, but you're always going to...

a zeitgeist crpg would be a dream come true for me tbh. never gonna happen, i know, but it'd be AMAZING.

...i understand vecna a little more now...

honestly, my question is why is it such a modern looking pump action?

[Doomed Forgotten Realms, Level Up A5E] FELL FOR THE GHOST KID

i feel like they should be magical. because yeah, sure, the apprentice/mage feats are about studying...about magic.

wow. that's. comical.

the Adventures in Zeitgeist B.E.A.R. is built using the A5E Monstrous Menagerie rules (which are fairly reliable and carry over to base 5e pretty well), and fits that pretty much perfectly (its HP is 25% lower then the average CR 10 monster, and so its damage is 25% higher to account for that)...

looks like he replaced the image with one that has the saving throws corrected, which tells me it was just typos. when i first made that post, they made no sense (strength save was at +7, wisdom save was at +8, etc).

where do you think i found my hatred for them from?

the difference there is you're giving an actual reason why that particular goblin (or group of goblins) is stronger. in my mind, they're effectively different creatures.

i mean, i consider it a narrative problem as well. why are these great heroes struggling with a regular zombie like first timers? if anything, it's overwhelmingly (video) gamey.

i actually hate this sort of thing in RPGs, since IMO it really does make progression feel meaningless. it's one thing if, as you level up, you mainly fight monsters that are at your level. it's an entirely different thing if, as you level up, you just fight the same monsters you've always...

[Doomed Forgotten Realms, Level Up A5E] IT'S THE SURFACE!...everything sucks.

i thought this was a warlock thread, not a sorcerer thread! ;)

what's up with those saves? the math doesn't add up on any of them except the ones where it's just the ability modifier.

i mean, if you want to look at it that way, then you start needing to factor in how much time you need to invest in something to properly get the intended entertainment value out of it - which, even if you include prep time on the dm's part as part of the intended entertainment value (which some...

wow. even just reading this hurts my soul. i can't imagine trying to actually FIND anything in a book like that. but dnd isn't (or at least shouldn't try to be) competing with movies, is it? it's competing with other ttrpgs, and lots of other ttrpgs can get you that same value. it makes more...

unless there's additional context i'm missing, i wouldn't really call that a nitpick. that sounds like he's being outright misleading.
