A friend asked me the other day if I was interested in Cosmere, I needed him to explain what it was.

Which is a shame, because now you're limited in the characters you can use barbarian to define. One of the concepts I had for a character ages ago was that the rage was just a power up, sort of like going super-saiyan or gaining a battle focus that lets you dish out more damage without getting...

I'd say ask your DM if you can add the bonus action rule back in. You're ending a limited resource early to use another limited resource, sounds fine to me.

Every now and then I think back to the cartoons I watched in the 80s, a lot of these I remember but a lot I'd have not thought of if this playlist didn't already include the intro for them.

I think a 16 is fine, I'd even accept a 14 if starting high level.

Maybe it was an oversight, but you are correct, there doesn't seem to be a way to end it early now. I'm also now realising that they can't rage in heavy armour which isn't new for 2024, just something I never noticed as I rarely play barbarians.

I think it's only really ramped up in importance in 5e. 3e, damage was still based on strength and you needed a feat to use dexterity for hit bonus. 4e it was just another attack stat which was tied to class powers so it didn't matter as much.

True, but in this case where you're starting at high level, it seems a bit power gamey. Fine if you want to do that, but I think I'd require some investment in strength.

I like the boosting items, though like you if they are playing a warrior and choose to go 8 strength and replace it with a belt or gauntlets then I'd likely veto that, they should at least have a decent beginning strength with the belt being "found" during their adventuring career.

You sound more organised than me, I'll often start a campaign with little to no idea as to where it will lead. The last one I ran (quite some time ago now) had events that would unfold that players could get into or ignore as they wished. First few adventures led into something that was more of...

Depends on the players. Are they power gamers or just there to have fun. I think in just a regular game of players who don't spend a lot of time online checking builds, that samurai player would be doing fine and the group would be having fun.

Yeah, the theory crafting was crazy, I also thought the tier lists were pretty stupid or existed only for the theory crafters. The majority of people would play whichever class they liked and have fun.

This has put the image of Torm and Bahamut flying into battle, Torm as a dragon rider, striking fear into their enemies.

I went through that list and definitely remember 4 of those shows (some may not have reached NZ) and there are a couple of maybes. It's not something I've really thought of, but the sheer amount of shows and movies we've had since the television was created is truly staggering.

Campaign I ran went to exactly 7. We could have continued, there were other parts of the world to explore but life, ah, finds a way to make scheduling difficult. I'm in a level 12 campaign, but that's because we started there, it's also a more casual campaign rather than a more serious play...

I always thought that Theros had some great ideas including the feat/special extra at level one and the expanded piety rules. Maybe just taking the 4e FR pantheon would be a good fit, sticking to the greater gods only and then seeing how they map to the Theros deities. I found a list that gave...

I was referring to Pelor which was linked to. Asmodeus has been across every setting as the lord of the nine hells.

That's a fandom site, not an official FR site. the link even places him in Oerth not the forgotten realms. He's never been a part of the FR.

I always think of crits against undead as the zombie "Headshot", it's the only way to keep the undead down.

I always thought the Q ascended like the Organians which would mean that they had a homeworld somewhere. I'm not sure it's ever stated before SNW, so I might be mixing it with other random Trek lore or even fan theories.
