    (IC) Dog Days of Doom!

    Ew, gross! Spiders! Havoc feels the spiny hairs on the creature as he attempts to twist its head off. Even being held, it's able to dodge the sacred flame. Unfortunately for it, its weak intellect makes it an easy target for psychic damage and the thing, even though it seems hardly...

    Sorry, does the spider get a save?

    The old tavern brawler was d4+strength. Regular unarmed attacks were 1+strength. But if you are talking the auto grappling damage, then I’m not sure

    It def. Would be a balancing act. To use Ezekiel’s terminology, I see 3 or 4 ‘trunks’ which are your starting classes: Example themes(you could base it on mental physical and social stat, for example - or exploration, combat, social pillars, or break it into 4 trunks: Full non caster d10hp...

    You’d probably just hand out xp at chapters instead of after combats/challenges. I think I’d do that anyways, as a dm. FATE has milestones too: minor, Significant and Major. Each let you do different things. So you could just do the same: Minor milestone gives a set amount, significant...

    40k rpg did it and I loved it. The down side was there was so much cool stuff to buy and you couldn’t get it all. It would work well for spells. Spell slots could cost x * level and uses/day could be another cost. Then you could choose to have lots of lower level spells or many uses of a...

    I’d still have levels. Abilities would be locked behind levels. For example take all Druid rogue and ranger 1st level abilities and put them in a list. You can buy them as you please. When you spend 1000xp, you unlock 2nd level abilities, get your extra hit dice and all the other goodies...

    I think an xp cost for abilities would give more options. Basic classes and each class has a pool (or buffet) of abilities to choose from that you can buy with earned xp. For items it’s always harder to determine. A dm being too generous can break the math of the game. Another option items...

    Do we have enough ideas to make a new edition yet? The other thing I’d like to see is fewer classes but more options to have those classes branch out into more unique specialties.

    8:30 The party gathers around the lever with the fighters having weapons out and ready. Anson pulls the lever and, immediately, both door rise up, simultaneously. The southern most door is a large, cavernous and dark room. The northern door is pitch black and cobwebs hang heavy over the...

    I agree. My point was, as is, every character pretty much has an attribute + proficiency to hit or to skills etc…. At a certain level, everyone maxes out those attributes so everyone is, for example +8 to hit. Instead of making this illusory choice, they may as well just said, “ At first...

    this thread has exploded so I haven’t kept up but my wishes: - No proficiency system. In 3.5, I liked that fighters were better at melee than rogues. Proficiency just made every class exactly the same. Everyone is equally good at everything as long as you max your stat. - Separate spells...

    No worries. Also, fyi, I’m not ignoring people. I’m at my cottage again and will be home tonight to make a post.

    8:30 Stratus and Deidre walk back the way they came to the lever and the two doors. Despite the noise, nothing seems to have changed. Anson turns the key again. There’s another loud noise of stone sliding on stone followed by a booming sound of stone landing on stone. It seems to come...

    D&D General In 2025 FR D&D should PCs any longer be wary of the 'evil' humanoids?

    I personally dislike the proliferation of the multitudes of species. When I DM and am making NPCs, they tend to be human. If there are other species, I’d rather there be a story behind why they’re there and I’d rather them be alien and rare. Otherwise it loses its wonder. Having a whole...
