Can I just point out the battle rage the barbarian class is known for is something the real-life Celts were actually known for? And that the Celts typically went into battle anywhere from lightly armored to naked?

You could have opened by saying it was just how you felt at the time. Unfortunately, the nature of the internet means tone doesn't translate as well as it does in other forms of print media, so it's incredibly easy to miscommunicate or be misunderstood. That essential element is what is fueling...

I spent the last few years building up an immunity to 5E. /robertsquit

The disconnect I spoke of is not only personal, but a disconnect between your reasoning and some of what has been stated on this thread. And, yes, there is a personal disconnect involved; I'll illustrate the personal disconnect first. You yourself describe the game as having "videogamey...

I do not mean to be overly harsh with this. I think that's part of an inherent disconnect: While it is true you don't care what the market has to say, WotC does. And they are the ones who produce the core game and choose how licensing is handled. Unfortunately, this means that how much support...

Are you honor? In all seriousness, it's probably just a common typo, like that make-up focused class everyone confuses for the rogue.

I apologize. I should not have made that comment. I will not treat this place in that way.

I think this one could be folded into Knowledge or Peasant.

Yes, I mean Persuasion. Going to need to adapt to the new terms... The issue I find is, I just don't see any justification for the distinction. Many of the same things that can be used on animals are often applied to humans, just in different forms. But, that is just my preferences and...

I'm asking why they're skills because I could see merging Handle Animal with Diplomacy and Perform has its own problems. The Perform skill creates an inherent self-contradiction; the skill itself reflects training and experience, yet the die roll it modifies reflects more what you would see from...

Acrobatics - A I like to try to make use of this skill in combat situations. It really should provide an AC bonus for lightly-armored characters. Animal Handling - F Why is this a skill? Arcana - A This skill should be amazingly useful. Especially given how much I like to toss weird effects...

Most people don't have either the time or the will to convert between 3.5 and Pathfinder. Converting to an entirely different system is, for them, completely unreasonable.

Wasn't meant to be baiting, but I can see how it was. That was definitely a mistake for me.

What if the goal is not to convince the person I'm arguing with, but those outside the argument who might read it?

Within Numenera, a crit can be a couple numbers below 20, and extra damage applied a couple numbers below that. But, a crit isn't always damage; sometimes, you get to attack again, or you knock your opponent back or down, or you stun them, or... You get the idea.

I think the always-crit rule combined with some people only being able to be hit on a 20 was intended to replicate movies where the hero only gets one hit, but the hit is lethal. Then again, they could have just borrowed the idea from Numenera and similar games without borrowing the full set of...

They're basing it off humans in medieval times. And, sadly, for humans in medieval times... that's pretty much true. And even in the modern era, humans don't actually vary that much.

There's no rules for preventing people from ruining your pictures by popping up in them! /photobombquit

Try building it with a Commoner. I did that by accident one day with a goofy character intended to die quickly.

That is kinda ruining the joke...
