Probably easier to go the BG3 route and just say that you have 2 short rests per day and it doesn't take any real time to do.

Does that count as power gaming? All it does is make someone really good at arcana, it's not a skill which will break the game.

I loved the ending. The whole thing showed scarlet witch to be a bad guy, she finally wins and it turns out she was right, she could fix the world, except she didn't. It was all an illusion and Kamela's friend is there trying to snap her out of it. A great ending that can either continue the...

Weirdly, what you thought it said seems to make more sense considering the show.

Yeah, I must be thinking of the proficiency bonus bit you've mentioned, been a while since I read it so it's just a vague memory floating about in my head, one of those "That sounds wrong, but I can't quite recall why".

I'd thought I'd read something that said you could add an ability modifier only once, but since I can't say for certain I'm remembering that correctly, I'm going with yes.

Sooo, has @MichaelSomething account been hacked or is this how they normally post? As is, in 20 years I'll probably be dead or senile, not sure I'll care what's happening to DnD.

Hard to choose between BECMI and 2e, probably lean to 2e DnD, then SWADE, and maybe transformers.

The answer is no, but also yes. Most of the time I think sticking with single class works best but sometimes adding a second class can help realise a character concept. I ran a half orc wizard who had 1 level of barbarian to account for his upbringi g, worked out to be quite fun being able to...

I forgot the watcher was originally involved, I did wonder if the ultimate nullifier would make an appearance though. I also found it to be an enjoyable movie, one of the better of the recent marvel movies.

Might be cool to see the Masters of the Universe translated to DnD, though I wonder if that would instead be given to Renegade games to make a setting.

One thing I thought about ages ago but never implemented was having spell slots level up. Meaning at a certain level, all of your 1st-level spell slots become 2nd level spell slots and some level after that, they become 3rd-level spell slots so that at caster level 11 (as an example) you might...

I've bought some PDFs of old thunder rift modules that I had when I first started playing that I knew full well that I'd never run in BECMI. Adapted them to 5e and ran them for my friends during the dark times of 2020-2022.

We used the bonus action potion fairly early on. In regard to healing potions, it was a bonus action to drink it yourself, an action to give it to a downed comrade. In another campaign, not sure if this was a house rule or one picked up from 5.5 or another game, but if you drank a healing...

It's been a while since I wrote the fireball analysis (and I didn't have the math know-how to get the exact odds), but I think the ogre in 2e had a saving throw of 16 which would make it a 25% chance to save, still close to the final result but a little closer to that coin flip.

This is how I do it in BG3, I don't bother with a rogue, just use guidance and a high dex score then burn a few inspiration points as needed.

I compare fireball against ogres to show how powerful it is, basically, how good is a 5th level wizard's fireball against a band of ogres. I wrote the following ages ago but never posted it. Fireball by the editions Basic. A fireball back in BECMI could deal up to 20 dice of damage, that is...

Maybe, but perception often still seems to take place of survival, often it's only a single roll so as soon as you slot the tracks, you're off.

I'm not sure exactly where I'd place the skills, but ones I'd rate near the top based on games I've played are athletics, arcana, perception, persuasion. I've often wanted to add medicine or animal handling to a character but they'll often end up being cut if I have other skills I feel take...

I find it can be good as a finisher when you really need to do damage without worrying about missing. They should probably up the damage to d6+1 though.
