    D&D General Who put all this Sci-Fi in my soup!?

    yeah, it's almost as if that's exactly what the first half of my post had been saying, but scratch off the superficial factors and underneath that theme it's not really all that different.

    D&D General Who put all this Sci-Fi in my soup!?

    the line between fantasy and sci-fi has always been alot thinner than alot of people want to admit, most of the time it's just what coat of paint has been slapped on it, what's really the difference between a force magic blast and a pulse laser shot? between travelling the realms in a...

    D&D General Mike Mearls says control spells are ruining 5th Edition

    is one of these meant to say 3.x? just the way the sentences are presented makes it seem like one of them ought to say something else in a comparison structure?

    Unearthed Arcana WOTC still can't get the backgrounds right in the new FR book.

    i would personally also offer a point buy of 35 for this option, (increasing the cap by the value of the ASI added onto their highest scores converted into their equivalent point value) and letting the max score bought be 16.

    Unearthed Arcana WOTC still can't get the backgrounds right in the new FR book.

    i think as a rule of thumb i think (most) people just don't like it when there are 'clearly more optimal' combinations, especially with a build choice which is meant to represent a narrative trait, it makes them feel like they're loosing out either way if they have to pick between character...

    Unearthed Arcana WOTC still can't get the backgrounds right in the new FR book.

    okay let me rephrase that then, it was the solution that made the most people happy that i think we are going to get with ASI at character creation. and i think the root of the issue people had with the 18STR halfling wasn't that they're 18STR but that they're going to be exactly as strong as...

    Unearthed Arcana WOTC still can't get the backgrounds right in the new FR book.

    not personally claiming it is 'the best' but the obvious factors seem to be: -provides class desired ASI, -skill proficiencies which fit to your primary desired stats, -a feat which goes all in on synergising with and improving your unarmed attack, a primary class focus.

    Unearthed Arcana WOTC still can't get the backgrounds right in the new FR book.

    i really think putting prescribed ASI in backgrounds must've been one of the most braindead decisions the Wizards design department must've had, one step forward, two steps back, they had floating ASI and pretty much everyone was happy (even if some like myself were lamenting the lack of default...

    D&D General Mike Mearls says control spells are ruining 5th Edition

    so, is not the root of the entire issue here the casting/existence of mordenkainen''s disjunction? that it's a Bad Spell? if it hadn't of been cast you wouldn't of all lost 30 minutes recalculating your sheets, with your item buffs you would've been able to make your saves, you wouldn't of been...

    D&D General Has Tiny Hut actually affected your game? Or has it otherwise mattered?

    weather and environmental conditions while resting is the one thing i think LTH ought to be allowed and expected to trivialize.

    D&D 5E (2024) Rank 5e skills from most useful (1) to least useful (18)

    i do think it would be possible to discern between safe and poisonous edibles using survival but i also think using nature would provide a notably lower DC attempting a check for the same information. honestly if i were to merge one of these skills i think it would be nature, but by absorbing...

    No, you don't know if these specific mushrooms are poisonous, but you are aware of the possibility they may be, so you instead decide to skip the risk entirely and forage on the other plants and animals that that don’t have a possibility for mistaking them as something not poisonous,

    can it work in a city if i'm using my special nature themed deck of cards that use the suits of leaves, berries, raindrops and twigs?

    i'm not saying that, i'm saying that i've often heard people claiming stories about people who try to justify being able to jump and climb and otherwise use acrobatics in place of a bunch of stuff athletics is meant to cover.

    honestly i'm kind of surprised this wasn't the other way around, i feel like i've heard far more stories about acrobatics being allowed to absorb a bunch of stuff athletics is meant to do rather than the other way around, especially with it working off the base stat of dexterity which is...

    nature is more than knowing what certain plants and animals are and what the weather is doing survival is more than knowing what not to eat or is dangerous to touch the venn diagram between the two may have some overlap, but it's certainly far from total overlap

    D&D 5E (2024) [+] What does a non-spellcaster Psion need/look like?

    why is it at all bad or wrong that i'm cherry picking? firstly i haven't seen the media she's depicted in outside of the ones i specified so i didn't want to unintentionally include factors that would influence my example, and secondly why am i obligated to take the entirety of a character...

    D&D 5E (2024) [+] What does a non-spellcaster Psion need/look like?

    the cross media significance of titles is meaningless, that she is called a witch means nothing for what class she would represent/be in DnD, she is a powered individual who specialises in mental manipulation and raw energy manipulation who's powers are directly correlated to her emotions...
