Not to mention, many of the DMs I know ask the group what they plan to do next session so they can prep. Maybe they left off trekking towards the coast in search of the old church that supposedly has a catacomb underneath. The DM might ask, "Do you still plan to keep heading to the church to...

I appreciate your take on this. I understand it. But can I ask you to look at intelligence a little differently? If you view it as greater exposure, which often leads to the ability to apply that learned knowledge. You are viewing it as purely innate, and when it is viewed in that lens, I agree...

Thank you. I will check it out.

EzekielRaiden, My response was not to show the champion is equal to the other classes. My entire response is a rebuttal to the math is simple. It is simple, when you leave out the other 100 variables in the game. There are too many variables which differ across tables for anyone to say they can...

This, "Let's assume..." is why I say it's silly. If the champion is in a bubble striking an inanimate object like a chest and no one is doing anything else, you're correct, it is simple to calculate. If you have three other players, it's not that simple anymore because much of the champion's...

I never said all bioessentialism arguments were made in bad faith. Second, I said essentialism. People attach themselves to this education philosophy and contort it to a fantasy game. They do this to highlight the negative. They do this as opposed to saying: Simple and straightforward. This is...

It is though. On a standard array, it is a mere three points added to something versus the already 24 points added. And in the statement you responded to, I was very specifically discussing the suggestion that "stats be tied to class." With point buy or standard array or rolling, they are...

That is HUGE!

I really wish people would learn that their calculations at any level past 2nd or 3rd vary from table to table, and in the end, are really nothing more rigid than a cloud. And by level 8 and above, you can forget about all of the calculations. I have never seen a table where the classes are...

They are directly tied to class. When you do point buy or standard array or roll for abilities, you (not anyone else, but you) get to assign them. You get to place them where you want. You get to choose whether your fighter is dexterous or strong or both. What you are talking about is adding an...

You're right, that is one opinion. There are others.

One point out of a possible 28 is not a "half step behind." It is barely 3%. But this is the problem, and I stated it earlier. It will boil down to perception. But it might roleplay out that way.

Thank you.

Is the eldritch knight going to be better than everything else? The Magic 8 Ball predicts - "Absolutely". ;)

And this may be a novice question, but does anyone know if Thunder Rift and Orlane from Against the Cult of the Reptile God are on this map? If so, what region? Thanks in advance to those more knowledgeable.

Awesome map. Something about the shape of the continent I have always liked.

That lighting looks great. And yikes, that is some close quarters, enough to make the wizard very nervous I bet. ;) Really like the hut. Nice touch!

It should be noted that you are starting the argument from the base of an adventurer - not the general public. Therefore, everything you are saying is invalid. The commoner, and by that I mean blacksmith, carpenter, merchant, sailor, farmer, etc. has a 10 intelligence. That is the average. So...

Those are very true words.

I agree. To split the two might be a bit pedantic. But maybe they can create a new version of each for me. I'm open to it, but it does feel like they are the same.
