If you read the first post in this thread, you will learn what this whole discussion is actually about. Hint: It's not accusations of sexism based on "girl dragon bad". Why? We should study everything that we want to understand. Shame is absolutely a legitimate topic. Snort. Trying to seduce...

This is a very good point. My thinking here is that you usually know if you're going to miss after a few attacks. This allows you to optimize where the battle die goes (if you can roll it after seeing your d20 roll), applying it to attacks when necessary but to other things as is convenient...

No, think of this as a replacement for things like proficiency bonus, fighting styles, increased crit ranges, battlemaster maneuvers, etc all rolled into one. This will be the basic chassis around which the fighter functions; it's not more stuff, it's (almost) all the stuff in one mechanic. I...

Responding to a couple of comments: I am assuming a ruleset with no bonus actions. (It will have reactions, and some pcs, e.g. rogues and monks, might get more than one reaction per round.) I am aware that a bonus to accuracy is better than a damage bonus. That's fine. If you roll high enough...

That's one of my internal debates right now. Classes will have 10 levels. My hope is to capture "this guy is a badass in combat" with one rule that has many applications instead of trickling out many different options over time. I may give fighters a second attack somewhere in there (maybe...

A long-running back burner project of mine is building the perfect D&D. This thread is about a concept I have for the fighter: the battle die. I'd like some feedback on it, if anyone has some to give. The idea is that every round, a fighter gets a die that they can use in various ways. It...

Is this your interpretation, or is this stated somewhere? The thing about it is, Drow weren't initially depicted as all being Lolth worshipers. The first Drow we saw served the Elder Elemental Eye and had no spidery stuff going on at all. Even later, in D3, as I recall, Drow society is depicted...

Mine range from type 3 to type 4. The archetypical picture of my tabaxi is the 1e Fiend Folio tabaxi pic.

Yes indeed!

No. Neither the games I am running nor the games I am playing in have a BBEG, with one possible exception (out of 5 total- two that I am currently running and three that I am currently playing in). No. Having a BBEG lends itself to some playstyles better than others. Without a BBEG, there are...

No cookout, too damn hot here (it was in the area of 115 F). Instead, we did hamburgers and corn on the cob on the stove top. The real standout was the cole slaw, though. I found a cool recipe for tangy cole slaw. I used red and Napa cabbage and carrots for the veggies, but the sauce was what...

You're saying that hobbits are jerren? (Sorry, 3e Book of Vile Darkness reference.)

I was going to say that this is false, but... "accidentally"? What does that mean in this context? There's a certain level of judgement there that I'm not sure how to interpret. Is a monster killing a 3rd level pc "accidental"? Is falling damage? Is exhaustion? This is kind of a loaded...

I missed this interaction for like the first six or seven years of 5e, and have instituted it since. In fact, an all-darkvision party just used some torches because of it last session.

At issue, at least IMHO, is the pc's participation in that eternal punishment and torture.

Hard doubt

A dead creature is no longer a creature. It is an object. The spirit/soul might be a creature but isn't the same as the original fleshly being; it's only part of it.

I would be very surprised if this happened anytime soon.

Yes- one of my (male) friends has had breast cancer.

What's wrong with resting up for a few days or a week?
