Some of your examples have been fixed or at least reduced in the Remaster. To take your first example, Make an Impression now explicitly allows for targeting up to 5 people at a -2 penalty, with being able to target more being up to the GM. The feat was buffed to start at 10 targets at Trained...

I love that Tacticians exist. Glod knows that 5e lacks a good warlord-type class. But it doesn't scratch the weapon master itch. To some degree you can cover the fighter niche with the Fury, but the Fury has pretty much nothing that works at range, so you can't do Robin Hood or Hawkguy with...

The thing is that the Tactician is very much a support class. Pretty much all their abilities are about helping their buddies out – sometimes via direct action (e.g. hit someone and let a buddy hit them too, or swap places with an ally, make a weak attack against someone, and let the ally heal a...

This book was written from the perspective of one of the "intermediaries" IIRC, or at least someone who aspired to be one until he learned what a-holes the colonizers were. The Foundation books, as I recall, are all from the perspective of Foundation people. I think there may have been an...

Sure, but that's the easiest no-prize ever. "That 'no attachments' bit sure came back to bite us in the posterior. Maybe ease up on that a bit when we reboot?"

Taking this seriously for a second: once, long ago, I read a science fiction novel set on a world which had an extremely stratified society, likely as a commentary on colonialism. I only vaguely recall the novel (I thought it was an Asimov novel but it doesn't seem that way as I look at his...

Not sure whether you mean Denniz Pop (who died in the early 00s) or his "apprentice" Max Martin (who's still very much active), but I'll have you know that we Swedes have an excellent grasp of English.

I see where Matt is coming from, but I think there's room for a "weapon master" type character that eventually develops some type of supernatural abilities from pure skill and/or enlightenment. I mean, look at Xena (who may or may not have divine lineage) or Hawkguy, for example. I actually had...

It seems like 4e turned up to 11, but being sort-of built from scratch and thus not beholden to D&Disms. It still has quite a few of them (like fiend-based gnolls, goblinoids coming in goblin-, hobgoblin- and bugbear-size, and things like that), but where 4e did break with some traditions it...

If you need an apple a day to keep the doctor away, you need to practice your aim.

Also, if this is the Road to Brockhurst, it is specifically designed to be an adventure for an experienced GM to use to run a demo, rather than an adventure meant to teach the game to the whole group. The latter exists: that's the Delian Tomb, which is a steal at $10 for the PDF.

Negotiations generally use 2d10+Reason, Intuition, or Presence, with the possible addition of +2 for a useful skill. Depending on the situation and the argument made this doesn't have to be an overtly social skill – you might be able to persuade a faction leader to support you in an attack by...

The pregen Fury has Brag and Intimidate, and you might be able to make a case for Nature. They also have Intuition and Presence 1 which isn't bad. Depending on which pregens you're playing, there's also: Wode elf troubadour: Brag, Flirt, Perform, Persuade, as well as Read Person that should...

No-one had Brag, Empathize, Flirt, Intimidate, Lie, Perform, or Persuade? Or even a good Reason, Intuition, or Presence score (you don't need to have a skill to roll a test)? I'm assuming you mean a Fury? Furies with 2+ Ferocity get a bonus to Knockbacks equal to their Might or Agility scores...

Depends on how much beans she's been eating.
