yep, but can we agree that if DM denies a roll that has a DC to a character they are overriding the new 20 succeeds rule?

New rule says he succeeds with a 20. You don’t have to allow it, or allow the check cause DM can do whatever, but if you do that you’re overriding new rule.

Uh huh, there is no rule about denying checks due to lack of proficiency. Able to admit I’m wrong, but tell me where in DMG it is. If you can’t find, what is your reasoning for denying a check when there is a DC other than DM fiat?

Interesting. Where is rule about gating checks behind proficiency?

Sure, ok. But you’re just inventing new classes of checks due to the new 20 rule. Before there was impossible (no one can do), impossible for you (you can’t pass the DC check), and possible (you can pass the DC check). I’m saying, the second one is gone, impossible for you is no longer a...

@Maxperson you said” This is provably false as written. The new rule does not make any such requirement, so it falls to the DMG rules which state that the DM is the one to decide when rolls are appropriate.” I’m asking, are you sure? I’m not trying to override the DMG or the DMs ability to...

I feel like this is a weird statement from you because this is exactly what I’ve been saying, and the only thing I’ve been trying to say, repeatedly, and you’ve done nothing but disagree with me. You should let players roll on things they can’t do (can’t make the DC check) when the thing is...

Also, anytime maps come up, wanna give a shout about the Trilemma Adventures maps. So creative and singular inventive interesting oh I’m using all my words they‘re amazing. They’re not connected to DND brand settings so not nominating, just saying, best maps ever.

The 10th District map in the Ravinica book. The precinct banners are pretty unnecessary but wow is this thing detailed and evocative. I believe it’s by Jonas De Ro, but not 100%, correct me if wrong. Isometric “maps” are kind of my jam so the Ravinica book is just amazing. Best 5e setting...

I’m tired of explaining the obvious implications of this new rule. As I’ve said before, you need not follow, but rule is clear… until WotC decides otherwise.

Wasn’t RAW. New RAW seems to be that rollable for one is rollable for all. You‘re arguing about old rules. IF the new rule is that rolling a 20 on a check is a success, it must mean that players should get rolls on things their player couldn’t possibly succeed on. Otherwise, rule is...

I feel like there’s so much hyperbolic hate towards thes people from members of the community they’ve never impacted. I get adding your voice to condemnation in support of the aggrieved is helpful, but it also seems, I dunno, embarrassing for you.

No, I mean rules now, in the past being the present before 1DnD

When I was I HS (90s) I often did my homework in the public library with some friends cause other kids (ie girls at other HS in town) did the same. And since I have no ability to focus on things for very long I’d often just wander around the library (again, kinda hoping to find an excuse to...

I’m not saying that’s changed. DM always decides what’s rollable and when rolls are needed. But in the past, if a thing is checkable, and the DC check is 25, and the character has only a +2, you say no roll, impossible. Now it’s a roll cause a 20 will succeed. If you don’t wanna do that...

That was the old way, but I’m saying the new 20 rule means that something that’s possible for one character is now at least a 20 role possible for all. Unless they clarify, that’s what the rule means. Rollable for one is a rollable check, so possible for all. You don’t have to play that way...

Level doesn’t have anything to do with it, I’m not suggesting they’re moving towards giving warlocks hurl through hell at start, I’m saying they’re doing additive character building instead of forked limited characters. There’s a character creation plan where wizard or cleric have 100%...

I truly don’t. I think people are being purposly obtuse or are functionally something. it’s Obvious, easy to understand, and not a big deal but omg woah if any one moves the cheese of A D&D dm look out.

omg wtf why would you like to sit alone masturbating to your secret lore, your situation is interesting stuff you should want your players to discover regardless rules.
