    D&D 5E (2024) Mike Mearls explains why your boss monsters die too easily

    Again, you misrepresent what I said. But we did in fact have fitness numbers. We had learning numbers. We had numbers of education and language learning. I said they weren't attributes. I didn't say there weren't numbers.

    D&D 5E (2024) Mike Mearls explains why your boss monsters die too easily

    This is the nitpicking I warned about and expected. I'm afraid it would be unreasonable to require me to give an entire summation of four years of active duty and four years in the national guard in a way that would be suitable for this forum. Trust me when I say that we knew each other's...

    D&D 5E (2024) Mike Mearls explains why your boss monsters die too easily

    No, the thread of responses I was participating in was clearly talking about how it was unrealistic for real world people to know their own abilities, rests and recharging. That's why the real world example was brought up.

    D&D 5E (2024) Mike Mearls explains why your boss monsters die too easily

    I'm sorry. What in the world are you talking about? Why would I see elves in the real world special operations environment? If someone says it is unrealistic for characters to know their own skills, abilities, rests, etc and then the response is to give a real world example that said person is...

    Hawaii, Polynesia, or Chief of War RPGs?

    D&D 5E (2024) Mike Mearls explains why your boss monsters die too easily

    I'm sorry, I could get more detailed, but I do feel at this point the nitpicking is going to continue no matter how thoroughly I type out my years of experience. Class and levels are known, again, simply. I was a sigint person with some cross training. I had a rank that recognized my capability...

    D&D 5E (2024) Mike Mearls explains why your boss monsters die too easily

    While HP wouldn't be practical, the spec ops units I served with knew the entire team's energy levels, nagging injuries and the medics would give IV fluids during rests (cure wounds). We also knew, precisely without counting, the ammunition for all weapons, battery levels for electronics and how...

    D&D 5E (2024) Mike Mearls explains why your boss monsters die too easily

    Wizards know exactly how they regain spells, as the rules explicitly state (using the Basic Rules on Beyond); You can regain some of your magical energy by studying your spellbook. When you finish a Short Rest, you can choose expended spell slots to recover. Changing Your Prepared Spells...

    D&D 5E (2024) Mike Mearls explains why your boss monsters die too easily

    A wilderness or city day that involves a rest at lunch/tea/dinner/siesta/etc makes narrative sense. I try to have two difficult encounters on both sides of that (usually 4 rounds per) and the balance is fine. I also tend to use Tales of the Valiant monsters because they have a bit more punch. I...
