This system seems to be doing a lot of stuff in a similar way to how I'm doing my homebrew system. :love:

I was thinking of adding miscasts to get rid of tracking spell slots (or rather spell points, which is my current method), but with nasty stuff only happening on a natural 1 and perhaps just minor annoyances on a regular failure. Since I also use both a spell casting check for the spell to even...

I played yesterday.

Could be a thing to have a basic Player's Handbook without feats or subclasses, and a set selection of skills for each class. And then an Advanced Player's Handbook adding more rules and mechanics by introducing subclasses, feats and skill choice options. This way, the basic game can have a...

Unseen Servant Impervious To Trap

I've always imagined it similar to this MtG card image: And very much like the blur effect on characters wearing a Cloak of Displacement in the Baldur's Gate CRPGs.

I'm wary of feats related to specific weapons as it undermines the moment the adventurers uncover a new weapon - which statistically is highly unlikely to be the exact weapon you happened to specialize in. It feels bad having invested into feats only to have them become unusable. Conversely...

For my homebrew system I've been considering various methods. First a freeform skill system where there's a bunch of suggested skills, with the option of players proposing new skills to the GM if they want something not already there. So essentially unlimited skills. But since one of my goals...

Orcs of Thar sequel practically confirmed.

What if it's a Critical Hit?

I use them partially, but there's a lot more to a character's personality than what can be summed up by a few numbers.

Str: Fighter Dex: Rogue Con: Barbarian Int: Wizard Wis: Cleric Cha: Bard Alternatively, condense the ability scores to Strength, Dexterity, Wisdom and Charisma. Str: Fighter Dex: Rogue Wis: Wizard Cha: Cleric

Turned Captive Troll Against Hobgoblins

The Rules Cyclopedia, for BECM(I) offers the following variant rule: The save types are Death Ray/Poison Magic Wands Paralysis/Turn to Stone Breath Attack Rod/Staff/Spell

I think it's reasonable an experienced adventurer could discern roughly how hard an opponent is to hit after making an attempt at it. So you can reveal the AC when they make their attack. They are still subject to the randomness of the die, after all.

I also didn't realize they've added cooperative mode. I'm pretty sure that didn't exist when I played it. I suspect it's harder to play that way since you have independent PCs who don't always coordinate or agree on the best course of action, rather than a hive mind.

My main complaint of the game is the Remorhaz model. Yikes! Best creatures were the minotaurs. Excellent model and animations.

I liked it a lot. The dialogues were a bit cheesy, so it's mostly for the tactical experience, in my opinion. I played it on authentic mode and generated characters using 4d6, drop lowest (no re-rolling). I made a team consisting of the main archetypes. Had a fighter with great stats, a cleric...

A hilarious quote from the Castle Keeper's Guide on character death. How does the Castle Keeper evaluate if a player has become too attached to their character? And how would a player go about reducing attachment once caught breaking the rules by being too attached? :D My charitable guess is...
