my larger problem, and probably the biggest i have table-top rpgs in general is you can't limit what one person knows over another. The meta-game knowledge just leaks through and it can ruin role-playing very quickly. Wizard: I want to make a knowledge nature to know what trolls are weak to...

its not anything cinematic, it's semantic. I dare you to think of a way to hurt a man with a baseball bat, but without hitting him.

Your honor: Yes, my client killed the man with a sword, but he cant be charged with murder , because he never hit him. All he did was hold a sword directly out in front of him and spin around continuously. He then approached the hapless accidental victim and unfortunately the centrifugal force...

You are the only one.... sorry for the inconvenience.

Touché

You've got the wrong kind of consistency. Mine is based on realism. That is an effect that makes sense, since the flavor says you harm yourself to do make your attack more vicious. The Dual lightning strike flavor says you seem to attack two things at once. I know others disagree with me on...

yes. He is sacrificing his own vitality to kick the living crap out of the air.

From a legalese standpoint i can totally get why rain of steel would not be a hit. From a basic understanding of semantics however, it completely eludes me. Why did I take damage if I was not hit by anything?

more to the op's point. Automatically succeeding at a death-saving throw is not the same thing as rolling a 20. The feature requires that you roll a d20 and see a 20 on the dice. That is just my humble opinion, but I know I'm right. And anyone who says otherwise either has no idea what they are...

ummm.... isn't a fault a design issue?

This is the first time this month I disagree with you. To allow Genasi but not Warforged is racist. And I will not stand for it! :p. 1. Both are strength bonus races, so your "appreciation" for that trait should be shared 2. Warforged are just as if not more cool than genasi. 3. Both are from...

4 words. Heavy thrown and whetstone.

Omg whenever this thread doesn't bet necromancied into life, it just mutates. IT CANNOT BE KILLED!

Balancing increasing monster defense disparity with optional damage bonus items for builds that target higher defenses seems contrived at best. Completely misinterpreted at worst.

White lotus feats + arcane admixture + thunder feats + sword burst = not ok in my campaigns.

What about genasi?

which is covered by proficiency bonuses on weapons. You are putting forth that sense non-weapon users attack NAD's that they should do less damage while having a similar chance to hit. That is preposterous.

I refused to bring that up on my own, since it's so subjective which is "better" but yes this was my final argument at the table that night and it was begrudgingly accepted by my party.

personally I as the DM set my roll dc on my non-optimized party members at near 11. Because if I did set it at 7 then my optimized party members would hit on average at a 4 and thats just silly imo.

You stop descriminating against my 5 foot nothing 490 pound human.
