I do agree with you that the game is good if there are several "valid" PC designs/builds. The party tank could be a fighter, a barbarian yes, but it could also be a cleric, a moon druid etc etc. I would say that I build a PC to fill a party gap 2/3 of the time... and I don't mind because I...

I partially disagree. I 100% do agree with you that it is impossible to have perfect balance, and that some players really do enjoy optimization and that's ok! However, my experience with both 3.x/PF1e and 5e have told me that there is such a thing as too much optimization being possible. In...

True, however the following: This is incorrect. A fight's last round is rarely complete. 99% of the time, a fight is ended by a PC killing/neutralizing the last foe(s). (if a monster ends the fight... often a bad thing!). Fights being chaotic and such, let us assume that each PC has an...

Have you heard of Yoon-Suin? That would meet that requirement. Although it isn't made for 5e (more b/x really), I've run a somewhat long campaign using 5e and it worked quite well.

... dare I say the setting market is saturated? :/ edit: very cool list though, well done

This idea of more than one stats affecting attack rolls etc has been around a long time. For example, from a system published in the 80s, Dragon Warriors (those books are full of great ideas, I've plundered them extensively). There were 5 stats (strength, reflex, intelligence, psychic power...

15 000$.... you know, I bet if Justin had been a bit more reasonable about this, he could have convinced WotTC to pay him that much for the rights - perhaps more! - and he would have been so much better off...

the underside of the goblet might be interesting too... who knows what dirt/etc it collected before it was discarded? Does the goblet have decorations? Perhaps it now has gems of colossal size?

One fighting style - there has been one, probably more, thread about this already - that is missing is the "light two handed weapon" fighting style. Not swinging around a massive axe or zweihander, rather something a lot faster and reactive - think a quarterstaff, a longsword, a katana (all of...

Welcome to EN world :) I recommend looking at the date of a thread you are replying to. This thread was created in 2017, and the last post was from 2017. The odds of your advice still being useful to this person is ... slim. This (answering a long dormant thread) is what is known as...

I spoke to some friends and they said the odds were of a false report - if it was site-wide (blogger), google would have done something, and the odds of someone doing something to my site specifically are low, given the very low traffic I have. But again, thank you for letting me know. (if...

well that's not good :O It's just a blogger page, so I'm not quite sure how it could be "malicious". Do you have any extra information for me?

The class in question was open fist monk. I had to draw a "chart" to help them run their character. They actually got competent at it, but they still almost never used the open hand subclass features (besides healing). (I can't seem to find said chart, a pity) I'm happy to report that with...

It's not just about "who you find attractive". Attractive people get all sorts of perks that have nothing do to reproductive fitness. I sincerely hope you are kidding.

I have a player who never read their class

The belief that good looking people are "better" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lookism

sometimes, real estate doesn't sell because the asking price is a wee bit too high. Lowering it a tad can be all that's needed to get offers from buyers. But this isn't it, the asking price is off by an order of magnitude! It's like being asked to lift 1000 kg, and after you protest it's...

oh boy, 23 pages on this? This is exactly the same as the "evil Hasbro CEO" getting a bonus while workers are let go: This is not a D&D problem. This is a society problem. It's not just PCs and NPCs depiction in D&D art that has a heavy "lookism" issue - it's society in general.

Very interesting, I'm glad to hear this. I found his method so important than I created a blog entry about it... not 100% sure on the ethics of it but... https://slugsandsilver.blogspot.com/2020/08/easy-mass-combat-system.html
