i'd like to see them experiment with a halfcaster+augment psion but one which has fullcaster spell level progression, getting their top 5th level slots at 9th level and then just filling out what they do have more from there on.

i think it's mostly already been said, power points, versatile uses of focused concepts, at-wills that can be boosted into stronger variants, pushing past 'safe limits', while i am fully on the side that 'psionics shouldn't be spellcasting' i'm less opposed about leveraging the vast library of...

i'm not seeing the black box either, i don't think this was an issue with sandbox or living world play, i think it was an issue with the GM not wanting to spend any more time on this side-venture of yours and for you to get on with the module already, i get the feeling your henchmen weren't...

i'm not sure a universal pet subclass would work all that well even if we did have universal subclass levels, it would have to be painfully generic and probably wouldn't be able to be properly balanced at all well with all the different classes base power budgets, i do think that more classes...

i'm not sure bows are derived specifically from robin hood as such, i mean, they're a tree in the forest of the concept of the forest of the hunter-tracker identity, no pun intended, hunters have used bows and similar ranged weapons all throughout history, they offer the advantage and stealth of...

i don't think i'm seeing the argument you're trying to make, it was a fixed world, influenced by the actions of players, that all seems to follow well enough right up until the point where the GM goes 'and so five minutes after leaving your henchdwarves suffered a lethal bout of idiocy that just...

just because something 'works' does not mean it is better or i could equally say, why less when more works? oh and mechanics, you forgot mechanics, those certainly play a part actually, the ability to express creativity is definitely limited when you don't have the proper tools to create. i'm...

ah well, if it was their own decision fair enough, still a shame to see them leave, i'd had some good conversations with them, did they give a reason?

no? no contradiction seen here, the GM creates, defines and fleshes out the world as it would exist as the PCs encounter and prompt new parts of the world with their actions, but they do not do so as a storyteller, they avoid adding content solely because 'it would be really dramatic' or because...

uh, is something wrong with @ezo account? all their messages appear as guest and their account doesn't seem to exist when i try to access it in any way?

can i assume you mean here as a result on your dice rather than the total DC.

it's a term for the principle of 'don't change or remove something until you understand why it was put there in the first place'

i think i'm basically just re-inventing spheres from what little i know of them, so instead of a fixed expanded spell list for your subclass you get to pick from a list.

secrets seems like an appropriate pairing for the other half of knowledge, concealing and redacting information.

it'd be nice if clerics could do a little bit more with multiple avenues of customization for those followers of the same god but who specialize in different areas of their domain. using the apollo example maybe the subclass itself focuses mostly on archery perks as well as a few...

there is a difference between the 'methods of deciding probability' being talked about here, in the version we are referring to it is more akin to merely labeling the odds of an existing probability, like bookies at a horse race giving the odds of each horse winning based on their track records...

you do realize they're still playing a cleric in that scenario though? right micah? they're not playing a different class with a different narrative they're just not placing any importance on that part of it, they're just saying 'yeah they pray to [god] every morning for their powers but if...

always nice to have a civil discussion with someone who respects your views.

while similar in principal there is the fact the latter has much more of a history as a known stereotypical line of those who attempt to use 'the fiction' as a shield to justify hostile and antisocial character actions.

because when you have multiple equally plausible options competing you can defer the decision criteria to a secondary concern between those tied options like 'how fun will this option be for the players' or 'do i already have more prep detailed for executing one of these options' without...
