Wish is fine the downside makes it fine. Gaining wish via summons or shape change. Simulacrum probably needs to return to its AD&D form. Shapechange and true polymorph need to go. Turning into a dragon isnt a problem. Turning into anything you want can be.

I said outright lie. Misleading draw your own conclusions. I dont think theyre lying about financial details.

Still using that book. Consulted Powers and Pantheons last night. Bought pdfs of them as well. New playersread wrote ups on their deity, ive converted spells and due to BG3 the dead three and Shar/Shares backstry has been used. Shars probably the big bad next game.

We started watching them last night. No sorcerer. Looks like knowledge cleric of Jergal and some sort of Cormyr Paladin are getting created

Yup. D&D design is constrained by expectations of it being D&D. Classes are going nowhere, we,'re probably stuck with dailies and 20 levels vs say 10. Might make a better game but that game wont be D&D. You would really need to do some polling over dumping something like alignment.

Its because they also cranked up player damage. Anything with a bad wisdom save paralyze it. Double damage. Most/all of the warrior types have nova abilities.

1. Players like rolling dice 2. DM rolls high with AoE vs players they all take full damage. Removes player agency. 3. To much inertia WotC wont change it anyway

Im leaning towards 3 saves myself. Blend of 3E and 4E not NADs though as outlined above.

I make the monster nearly immune because if its not command its tashas hideous laughter. Or fear, hold person, hold monsters, slow. Tashas mind whip hell even sleep. BG3 gave some bosses +10 on all saves. And you can still land spells on them. Martials can't kinda kill them in one round anyway.

I think players make save is better. 1. Players like rolling dice. 2. DM rolls well or poorly they all fail or save. Each player making it gives mixed results. Players get sense of agency. 3. Mixed results us better for tension. Save or sucks that are brutal effects need to be very...

You have to do it across the board. The bad save concept =75%-95 failure rate needs to go. You could also remove them like 4E did. Pick your poison. Or keep doing what we're doing since 3E. AD&D make your saves at higher level 75-95% of the time base numbers. That's actually a...

I gave a Marilith unstoppable 12, greater magic resistance and legendary saves. Think it lasted 3 rounds vs lvl 12. Would have lasted 1 or 2 without.

Im thinking proficiency bonus to all saves with a +1-3 bonus as a class bonus or 3.X class saves +proficiency saves. Proficiency bonus+ martials get +2 all saves, half casters +2 on 2 saves, +2 on a single save for primary casters. Even as borked as that us a caster gets to fuel spell DCs...

Its a consequence of crap saves combined with buckets of hp.

I had 4/5 pcs being able to cast it. CR13 with crappy wisdom save may as well have been CR 0. Wall of Fire approach/flee spam. They'll also spam it at bosses to overload legendary resistance. And anyone can get it as an origin feat. Warlocks can get multiple origin feats. Dragon...

Yup. In practice theyre all gone in a round or two then boss dues a round or so after that

Heh took your advice about playing older D&D during playtest. We switched back to 2E and clones. Pre 3E creatures are class cannons generally. 4E onwards to many hp. 3.5 whatever its flaws might have git that part right. Played 2E earlier this year abd a 1E adventures with C&C.

Within and Rebels;)

I used to like red a lot. Or R/G.

How old is netrunner? Theres a small group of nerds here playing it in one of the stores. I vaguely remember it from early 2000s but may be confused with another game.
