It does seem like a square peg, round hole situation, which is why I found it odd that Fate Core suggests it without giving an example. It says Then it talks about using it for wealth, but the wealth writeup doesn't actually contextualize the consequence boxes.

I hear that. "How do I do [concept] with multiclassing?" "You don't. You use the standard class and you like it." Also, answering the question takes actual time and thought, so around here the people who want to challenge your premise are a lot quicker on the draw than the people who want to...

Compared to the artistic legacy of Conan portrayals this seems like a pale imitation.

I am a little confused as to how one would represent depletion as a consequence. Say, Mana, for example. What would that look like, in terms of stress tracks and consequences? A track that fills as you cast spells with only one consequence; "OOM", which means you can't cast spells? Something...

I would try and get my DM to let us use the Climbing on Larger Creatures rule, so if he tried to haul off the wizard at least some of us could jump on for the ride.

That is handy, thanks!

Getting "Knocked prone" while flying doesn't really make sense, so that is why D&D interperets it as getting swatted out of the air, or getting one's wings tangled up so one falls. Remember that the game doesn't explicitly state the rate of falls, so I guess you go by physics, which...

What were you going to do?

I'm with you on psionics being an inner power source. I like that. A nitpick though, I feel like you've missed the mark on warlocks and sorcerors. Specifically, warlocks are quintessential external (they get their power from pacts) and sorcerors are quintessential internal (they get their power...

Now that I think about it I think he is conflating happened in Athas in Dark Sun with what would happen to Eberron if the Inspired get their way. He wants them to be the same, so he has forgotten that they are completely different. I'm sure he's being straightened out.

Yeah, I feel like is is misinterpreting the setting at a fundamental level, here. Of course, I only came in to it at 4e. Am I missing something?

I think you are wrong.

I don't give out a ton of magic items, so I can tailor each one into the story. If a player wants a magic sword or bow it might be given to them as a gift from a powerful figure, they might find it as part of their destiny, or they might claim it from a powerful foe. They usually don't just find...

Oh man, I love vitality. I have been trying to suss out the problems with HP for a while now, and around here I couldn't even get people to see my problem. HAHA! I don't need you to believe me now!

You got it. Seems like a pretty good way to go to me. You'll be paying for your trick, though, since you'll do less damage and will be delaying your first ability score increase. It is sub-optimal because you'd get more damage out of staying behind your allies and shooting with a normal...

Monks can attack creatures they are grappling with their full unarmed damage. Anyone with both hands free can grapple two separate creatures. A monk with Grappler gets advantage vs targets they are grappling. A monk with Tavern Brawler can grapple as a bonus action after an unarmed attack. I...

Wait, so Dex doesn't come into it? Would it ruin it if it did?

Keep in mind not everything in the game is "bounded" evenly. Accuracy and skills are bound to the same rate of increase (proficiency + modifier), but AC is bound to a much more restrictive rate (flat armor + modifier/portion of modifier/nothing). So just like high level characters are more...

When my group and I were younger, we shied away from consumables of any kind, simply because we found them distasteful. Something about them running out just bothered me. These days, I can't tell you why. Back then we even hated Eberron's action points because they replenished upon leveling up...
