What's missing is a momentum bonus for choosing to Dodge, then attack on the following turn. Without that, you're just making the fight take twice as long, which is most likely to your detriment. EDIT: maybe if the game had a stamina system, so you have to occasionally cease attacking or...

Minigiant clarified, he was talking about the Ranger as presented in The Strategic Review #2. They do indeed get alternating levels of cleric and magic-user spells starting at level 8, so that a 13th-level ranger could cast level 3 cleric and level 3 magic-user spells.

Wait, what? Druids didn't exist in 1st edition? The heck is this, then?

I just got an email saying that my Hulu + package is increasing in price. I thought Disney was ending Hulu as a separate service, so why would I have to pay more? I might cancel after all.

It just struck me as weird that you can move on your turn and ready a move off turn when you shouldn't have any speed to work with. Though I do recall that there are reactions that let you move off turn already, like the Battlemaster's Maneuvering Attack. So Ready doesn't seem to care about...

No it was more the idea of being able to move closer to an archer while imposing disadvantage against their attacks. Not really optimal, just a weird interaction.

Something that seems similarly exploitative that just occurred to me is movement. By the rules, you can move on your turn up to your Speed. If you want you can Dash to double that available movement. But upon closer inspection, I noticed something weird. Readying Movement doesn't require you...

I'm reminded of complaints about another system "all the classes are basically the same"...

Yeah but again, there's so much of this permeating Trek already that coming up with a better explanation for one thing is like taking an umbrella with you during a hurricane. Sometimes, when they do try to explain stuff without resorting to meaningless Treknobabble, it's the literal "Voodoo...

Why? Why can't it just be a special way to take an action?

Once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack roll if you have Advantage on the roll and the attack uses a Finesse or a Ranged weapon. That's once per turn, not once per round. If you can find a way to get the attack off turn, it works. That can be...

Something something Katra. Vulcans can manipulate their souls (or something similar). They're not just Space Elves, they're essential magical (psionic) beings!

Not to mention the fact that you can't make the Ranger an essential class, to where someone "has to" be the Ranger. So even if they got bonuses to exploration, they couldn't be so good that no other option is at least competitive. I mean, I'm not saying there's a law against it, but it kind of...

Ok, I think I understand your point of view. However, that brings us again to Rogues, who are explicitly allowed to Ready an attack in an attempt to use their Sneak Attack more than 1/turn. I feel that's at the very least, a very similar situation.

Maybe that's what happened. But I find it hard to believe that they didn't have major problems with this rule of theirs before in the thousands of years the Jedi Order has existed.

The trigger you have a problem with? I mean, that seems legitimate to me. If I'm defending my allies, it seems like "If the enemy moves, I want to Ready my movement to intercept them so they can't reach my allies" would be perfectly fine. Sure, the enemy doesn't know I'm preparing to do that...

So, to summarize once more, it's just horrible wording. Even without taking the rules of readying a spell specifically into account. "You take the Ready action to wait for a particular circumstance before you act. To do so, you take this action on your turn, which lets you act by taking a...

Ugh, yeah, the "no attachments" rule was poorly explained and badly presented. There is no way you could ever avoid anything that could possibly lure you to the Dark Side anyways! And yeah, at no point in the original trilogy did Ben or Yoda say "now Luke, no attachments to anyone, you hear...

I once met a mad lad who took Dragons as his favored enemy, lol. I don't know if he ever ran into one. I just don't have the best experience with it, since while you do sometimes run into entire themed campaigns fighting Drow, Giants, or Hobgoblins, most campaigns I played in were pretty...
