This is good but only if it's something they could have been convinced of - I had a dm overuse this and it was annoying.

Only if you don't want narrative roleplay. Nah, can't take short rests when your dead. If everyone dies in combat, the game stops.

If you don’t combine this with effective in-combat healing (which is not a thing in the 2014 rules) then you’ve just made combat swingier and riskier without increasing challenge (because challenge implies that your choices or skills will determine success.) If you need 2-6 actions worth of...

I've tried this, but you run out of HD pretty quickly.

I don’t think it was a goal per se, just what was left over after all the compromises on actual limitations on gameplay.

I find very few people actually put three 8s down. Most end up with something close to standard array. And if 15 8 15 8 15 8 bothers you, is 14 10 14 10 14 10 really much better?

The thing is, you can't not have dump stats. Unless you carefully finagle yourself to have a 13 in everything, something's going to be the lowest. And while it should matter once in a while, I don't want to game to be all about what characters aren't good at.

With standardized subclass levels, you could even make multiclassing your subclass. But honestly I think limiting multiclassing works against the one thing 5e does really well: power fantasy. 5e delivers power fantasy, and multiclassing (when done well) is a big part of that - it allows system...

"You float an inch off the ground..." Tremorsense is designed to / supposed to make normal stealth not work. I'd also be okay with causing a lot of vibrations to 'flashbang' the area vis tremorsense, but only by something designed to do that, not as a side effect of some other action (ie a loud...

It was also specifically talking about medium encounters, just using hard encounters can cut that in half.

In practice, it definitely rounds to one, possibly a lot less because during travel or social situations we can go days without an encounter that uses any resources. But so long as you have more than one fight often enough that players don’t assume they can burn all their spell slots in each...

To be fair, they have: Flaming hooves A mane A tail

“You won’t have to fight until someone (anyone) fails a stealth check. You got a… +0, so you should definitely be able to count on making ten in a row. No need to considered the possibility that you’ll roll below a 15 once over the course of the entire adventure. After all, what are the odds of...

Even a breastplate is probably a 4-point reduction in AC; which is about as bad as granting every enemy advantage on attacks except they can still also get advantage.

For the cost you’d think they’d run better.

So I made a small error and got the Extended Warhorse Warranty instead of the Warhorse Extended Warranty…

Does it do so while keeping adventuring the high-risk-high-reward activity it is now?

"Wherever you go, there you are." "Did I do that?"

Manipulation is a key part of all human communication, including this entire forum.

If I recall correctly, technically Krynn was at the start of Dragonlance Chronicles - the gads had all been gone for 300 years (to the point where only the elves were confident they ever existed.) My one dm like to not have anything that called a "god" in her settings, but it can a bit semantic...
