i don't especially think metamagic by itself feels wizardy, but i do think we could delete wizard and recreate 90% of their experience with a sorcerer subclass that has a spellbook, innate ritual casting and that memorize spell feature they got that lets them swap a spell from their spellbook on...

i really wish the sorcerer somehow gave you the option of permanently assigning some metamagic points to your cantrips and as you level up even some of your 1st, 2nd and 3rd level spells.

sure, but i mean an actual, codified, morale system for it to interface with, rather than it being left to GMs to each individually decide off the cuff who can be intimidated and how hard it would be, give it some consistency across the board.

Maybe if it had more uses against foes like if 5e had enemy morale or something like previous editions it wouldn’t be such a trap option but alas, it is as you say.

i know you can already use variable stat skills but i really do think intimidation ought to be a STR default skill, one, because it's pretty redundant and typically the inferior CHA skill choice next to persuasion and two, it gives STR primaries more leverage into the social pillar.

what about total balance compromise, the people who wanna roll, roll, and the people who wanna point buy, point buy, but then, after the rollers have rolled you translate their scores into point buy cost, if it's more than standard PB the point buyers get to add that many more points to their...

i'd rather there be balance and everybody/no-one be great than for there to be distinct good and bad characters instead.

i don't know if it's the starting scores that really put MAD classes at a disadvantage so much as the progression that comes after that, i mean, it certainly doesn't help needing to invest in multiple high scores but while it's usually quite possible to get two decent scores and even something...

i'd wish 5e was a game where the three pillars were equally balanced in worth, use and nuance that two characters one optimized for combat and one for social (and a third for exploration) are balanced and of asymmetrical yet equal worth to each other.

i'd rather they made all classes some form of MAD, especially if your choice of secondary stat could offer customization avenues, but even if it didn't do that just getting of rid the imbalance of having to account for both SAD and MAD classes in stat generation would be enough IMO, and i don't...

if i'm allowed to simply retire them any time i like whats the issue with retiring them straight away when i see their initial stats until i get a character with stats i do want to play?

this part i agree with, both in that items and tools should be a far more fleshed out system as one of cornerstones for the martial's equivalent to casting and that the experts would excel in their use, i'm less behind them being the 'item crafter' group, like i get what you're going for but i...

Sorry I don’t consider ‘well you MIGHT get better character stats next time’ to be adequate compensation for having bad stats right now for this adventure.

okay but how many scents does the hunter have on you?

things don't need to be the same to be balanced.

i was listening to a podcast the other day who were talking about this and yeah something like that, though you could only increase your prime requisite stats and there were only certain stats you could sacrifice if i remember what they said correctly?

expanding my thoughts on my choices, for the classes you've got two martials and two casters, two power oriented classes (warlord and geomancer) and two skill ones (artificer and warlock), all of them have potential options into a healer role so nobody is pidgeonholed into that by their class...

i think the current point buy is balanced but i'd like to see the ranges increased a little for better customization, rolling your stats can get you anywhere from 3 to 18, i think you ought to be able to have a range of 5 to 16 for your point buy rather than 8 to 15, it lets you refund some of...

an interesting idea for a stat but one that works in a conflicting manner to the way the other six work and are generated, as they all work on the basis that 'higher is better', you're never going to say 'oh i wish my CON was lower then i would've gotten that'

I’m using the DnD names but these would be tweaked slightly. 1) New Core 4: Warlord, Artificer, Warlock, Geomancer (the offspring of druid and wizard, an INT oriented primal fullcaster that uses an array of elemental, plant and spirit magic). 2) New Core Species: Harengon (rabbitfolk)...
