The fundamental rule of DND is the ability check. The covers virtually everything you need. That is the rules supporting you.

Rarely have we encountered a situation where we need to jump something more than what we know we can. It is farther than we know we can do and we still want to try. It’s a check. Sorry, I’m voice dictating in the rain walking downhill. I’ll try to clean this up later.

Our general approach is only use rules when you need them. I can’t think of a scenario where we needed to consult rules for our characters to jump.

What about them. Everything I have read seems completely accommodating to them. No it is not. Or at least not the OP. Also, when it is about that one key difference is the bold word about. I am pretty sure the correct word is should or could, not must. The is a big difference in intent that...

How do those get in the way? Not even sure why you need them, but they have never gotten in the way in our games

Ok, this has become another thread about martial vs caster balance. I’m not interested in that. I will leave for greener pastures- enjoy your discussion!

Again, you are talking about a specific rule set, not concept. Most of the discussion has been about the concept . The idea that people want to play something beyond what is physically possible. People want to play Heracles. So how do you that? One way is to draw a line and say beyond this...

How? How do the rules fight cinematic play? Our group is mostly martial and I feel our characters perform cinematic actions on the regular. I can’t think of a rule that prevents us from doing that.

This isn’t a discussion of martial vs caster balance or ability to do cool things. No need to turn it into that again, that is a different discussion

No, it seems to me like you are not listening to what people are saying. Most of the discussion here hasn’t even been about rules or rule limitations. It has been about the limitations of is realistically possible

Not IME

And that is pretty horrible for game play i thonk

It is easy enough to make bman succeed with the a similar frequency as in the comics if that is what you wnat

No - I think everything they presented was pretty much by the book. Technically multiclassing is optional, but it is in the book

If you look at the link, he’s considered possibly the strongest man of all time. That is about as good as you can get on a mundane level (for a generic strongman class - same as Hercules.) The point is to get stronger / more powerful than that you have to go beyond that level. You have to go...

Me thinks it is you who is blind. In the example given the mountain and Hercules are essentially the same class if you will. But of much different power levels. One is clearly a mundane martial and the other is supernatural martial. They cannot balance each other by offering different skills...

No - I don’t care. I know the answer and don’t need to convince people of the truth. However, I am curious about why you don’t think they own outright: ravenloft, darksun, spelljammer, planescape, and the nentir vale. Those settings were created and only ever owned by TSR/WotC

Both Ed and Keith have said so. I don’t need to do your research for you. My statement is verifiable as the truth. I have no idea where you got your idea from, but it was clearly not authoritative.

Yes, but they were never settings owned or created by TSR/WOTC

IIRC, the Guild is a partnership between One and WotC. Though One runs it, but that is splitting hairs really. However, very few people make serious money on the Guild. There are handful of people that have made good money and only one that I can think of that continues to do so. Even Ed...
