So this thread may have come up already. I haven’t noticed if it did and I didn’t spot it on Google. There is something unique about Bg3 that is very different to other CRPGs. They normally account for the fact that a single player can point and click through combat very quickly so there are...

Spell slots and casters aren’t really the problem. Casters get one extra high level spell every 2 levels or so. That they can use once per day. The issue is large number of action and attack options, special rules on other things. Even then I don’t this is an issue where combat is balanced to...

When I got to the high levels of Age of Worms. It definitely felt like a combat fest. Rather than being full of interesting and dynamic choices like in the earlier parts of the AP. Often high level campaigns use high level foes to set themselves apart as it’s a chance to show off high level...

I’ve played and ran a fair few high level adventures. However in all but a couple of adventures they were the culmination of years of game. The problem is that the scope of PC abilities is so wide that they can go anywhere and do anything. Their capability to prepare is vast and the resources...

Okay that helps a lot then.

Is it me or is it extremely fast? You in theory could circle cast in a single round if everyone was ready. Not sure I like that. It feels casting spells this way should take a bit more time. Also apparently anyone with spell casting can contribute so clerics, warlocks and Eldritch knights can...

So season 4. Noticeably different feel to it. Feels like repeated action scenes. Many action scenes. Endless action scenes. More magic effects. Liam is not Henry. Doesn’t come close Laurence Fishburne was a nice surprise as Regis. I liked the formation of the lodge. Done well.

If you forget the armor it’s a great version of a Witcher now.

We’re getting Dark Sun next. A horse told me in a dream.

You are a gentleman sir! Bladesong Int mod times per day Int bonus to AC +10 Speed Wow. Int bonus to attack and damage from the start! An extra attack as a bonus when you cast a spell. Pretty sure you can fight with two weapons now Pretty sure you one of these can be a quarterstaff now (it is...

Liking these so far. Really want to see Bladesinger though suspect it won’t change much from 2014. Other subclasses feel flavorful and fun. The only two things that really matter to me. I really like the regaining sorcery points on a successful counterspell. Also think the Banneret’s...

That sounds amazing. Terrifying and amazing. Exactly what I was looking for. Will check them out.

Or you could be a bit more polite and appreciate that when I use a pre-written adventure I’m looking for inspiration. It doesn’t seem controversial to say that I would like more adventure space devoted to making NPCs interesting. You do you though.

Sometimes it’s possible to be agnostic and someone tells you something you find interesting. If someone tells me about something they like, and I ask why they like it and i listen and ask some more probing questions and they answer them… that’s still a discussion. I don’t know about True...

A bit more detail on Power Behind the Throne… Just so you know it isn’t just me making it up. Worth also remembering that I’m also recommending it, not only because it fits the original brief but because I think Reynard would enjoy running it and his friend would enjoy playing it. It’s not a...

I mean even on page 6 of posts he said… So even the existence of combat wasn’t discounted provided it was quick and non-tactical. Presumably decision based.

Yes, @GuyBoy in Curse of Strahd negated the points-of-dim-light nature of the setting by making camp in the woods with tiny hut. It’s the reason the spell doesn’t exist in my games. He know it too 😉

Yeah exactly. See my suggestion for 3 alternative uses for legendary resistance.

With all due respect that isn’t what was asked… Reynard is of course free to change his mind but he asked for dramatic decision based RPGs that didn’t rely on action or combat and I gave him one that is famous for it.
