So I have always been a fan of Al-Qadim. I have always like the Sha'ir class. A class where you use your own personal genie to go fetch spells for you and bring them back so you can cast them. Would this be a sorcerer or warlock? Sorcerer with a familiar... Warlock was going to have the option...

I am going to add the save proficiencies to skills. In this case acrobatics is the DEX save. So this means that each class is given these skills for free with their save proficiency. Skills as saves: STR Athletics DEX Acrobatics CON Endurance INT Investigation WIS Will CHA Insight (Moved from...

Saves as skills: top skills for power gamers? Perception: Resist surprise. notice stuff. Insight: Resist lies. notice interpersonal stuff. Investigation: Resist illusions. find clues. search. very useful, most powerful skill in 5e? Athletics: Resist spells like webs. Useful list of...

I am in agreement. I think the simplest solution is to make the attack cantrips do 3dX and make them 1st level spells.

So there are a few math issues with the current edition. Namely with saves and proficiency and high level. What are the possible ways to fix this issue? Probably the most simple one (remove stat from caster and caster receives Pro bonus regardless of implement): Caster DC = 10 + Proficiency...

15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8 STR 13+2(15) DEX 8 CON 14+2(16) INT 15 WIS 12 CHA 10 Then take heavy armor at 4th. Then +1/+1 STR/INT at 8th. Then +2 INT at 12th and +2 INT at 16th, and 1 feat to spare at 19th.

All done.

I really like that the spell would be something like: Target has to be one creature. At each spell level increase you can add an additional target. Targeted creature makes a save on its turn. On a failed save: Target becomes "drowsy", make another save while drowsy. On a failed save while...

Ok this is pretty exhaustive now. Mostly it tackles these things: Removes Advantage/Disadvantage. Removes fiddly class features and makes them things players opt into. Removes 0 level spells Adds a spell point system. Removes HD. Removes spell attack rolls and HP thresholds. Makes a few minor...

I think it will break the rules. But... if you institute players must select the +1/+1 to two stats instead of the +2 to one, then it is doable... like I mentioned upthread. The fighter gets 7 stat pumps so could wind up with a 24 (with the right race selection), but that is a fighter. A 24...

Is Power word stun much better than hold person?

I think it is fine. In my 5e house rules I remove it. I instead insist that the ability improvements be +1/+1 only though. In this way the fighter who gets the most pumps with 7. So if you started with a 17 (15 +2 from race). you could take it to 24 tops. That is high level... and hopefully...

5e Basic house rules Chapter 1: Abilities Advantage/Disadvantage has three levels: +/-2, +/-5, automatic '20'/'1' (and +/-5). Chapter 2: Races Dwarves: Lose Dwarven Combat Training, Tool Proficiency, and Stonecunning. -1 DEX. Mountain dwarf adds 1 level of armor training and +1 to STR. Elves...

Temporary HP are a thing in the rules and on the character sheet but spells do not use them. It is workable, just a terminology issue. Though it might be confusing to new players when the Temporary HP rules come in to play and how it interacts with your HP max increasing.

Maximization of stats would occur with the '20' cap or without the '20' cap, it just sets the goal post and the norm. Just like in economics a cap encourages playing to the cap. Think the three point line in basketball, when it was introduced it limited the mid-range jumper and encouraged the...

I think maxing out is a no-brainer for all classes. Increasing your to hit chance or DC to affect targets is massive and increases your efficiency. There are some exceptions though, spellcasters who buff and do not target others may want to focus on their own fighting abilities (STR or DEX and...

To be perfectly clear, I do not think this was a missed opportunity. I think that it was just a decision and it was not a bad one. Reducing it to 3 saves instead of 6 is perfectly fine. There were some questions as to how the mental stats would break down with the saves. This clears it up...

Count me as one of their number, I do think it is a little weird. I have not figured out a reason why the added complexity of having two types of things that work like skills becomes important. Why separate them? I mean it is a minor issue that does not affect my like of the game but proficiency...

But if you are wearing non-heavy armor your tree-stump status comes into play again? It may be the better to just do away with DEX penalties to AC. In this way your tree stump status can better be implied in the mechanics?

I never understood this idea that the higher level spell should be more powerful in effect and more powerful in its ability to penetrate defenses. As I suggested early in this thread there are two ways it can be handled. I am uncertain which is better. 1. Everyone has proficiency in every save...
