AFAIK jackalope is the most powerful option pre-MoMe2, it was the go-to for one of my skinchanger players. As far as save proficiencies, yeah it's incredibly uncommon in the MM14 and MoMe in general. It was pointed out in another thread that they "stealth fixed" monster saves in MM24, I assume...

I thought that too, but would you want that for 5.5e? Would it fit? I guess it might include rules to fit it to S&S.

I didn't say to increase HP, I don't think? 😅 We can agree on the 2014 monster saves being super bad. What did they do to 2024 saves to make them better? Did they give most monsters save proficiencies? In designing 5e14 I get why they'd want monsters to fail saves- it sucks if your hold monster...

That's the problem I have with just adding numbers to everything, adding power to both sides of the board, rather than paring them back. You're just bloating stuff up- whether it's time per combat, time per turn, time just calculating BS, etc.

I don't know that I agree higher defenses is the answer, or rather the only answer. Mearls suggested a roughly 35% increase to damage and 35% decrease to HP for most if not all enemies, which makes things a lot more tense (I believe that's what he ended up doing for his home games). I've tried...

Yes. Either the PCs are too powerful, or the monsters aren't powerful enough. I'd rather pare back PC power than up monster power, 'cuz I'd rather have things a little more "grounded" and avoid even more math via more numbers and more dice, but I guess either way you're rewriting a book.. either...

It's very very very doable. 5e PCs punch waaay above their weight class.

"4e had fake high level play," "4e had high level play," I think this just depends on how you define high level play. Obviously number-wise, yes. It went to 30. Basically epic levels... By numbers. 4e had you fighting gods. Literally it had rules for how you could permanently kill bahamut (and...

Ha, I missed the first part of the feature description. Reading failure! My bad. Yeah, that's a silly error.

OP thinks Don means "to be wearing," so you need to be wearing the armor in order to utilize the action that lets you put it on. Which wouldn't make sense, if you misunderstand what the terms mean. OP, don is the act of putting the armor on. Doff is the act of taking it off.

Maybe the descriptors were cut for length, or the map-maker and designer weren't on the same page. It's Adventurer's League, Jake. Here's more context that doesn't seem to help, because pelts making up a crude tent is described but not pictured in area 3. My guess: the map was made first and...

Nah, the room doesn't give any help with a description there. I'd agree that they're probably some hanging leather or cloth to help give the room privacy, since it's the lair.

Post a pic so we have some idea, yes go for it.

Nice breakdown. Yeah, it's complicated. I can understand why people just want to say "cast whatever with whatever in your hands so we can get on with the game," but I don't want to let that slide without some sort of investment (a feat via war caster, or that attunement item ruby). I do wonder...

Find books of random tables that you like, I'll try to link the ones that I enjoy a bit later on. There are tons of published and free resources. I don't even necessarily use the thing I roll on the table, I tend to scan the whole area and see what sparks inspiration- but rolling gets me to that...
