Each encounter would be an independent sample of a small set of rolls… In short, increasing your number of samples make the phenomenon happen more, ie alot. Moreover, to mitigate the chance of bad luck TPK occurring it means a significant number of combats are going to feel easy as the only...

Some analysis as to why this happens so much. It's because the d20 dice and relatively low rounds of combat. Cold or Hot dice can turn relatively easy encounters into tough ones. Say all the PC's miss and all the Enemies hit on the first turn. I've seen too many times the players have an...

I'm having fun on Diablo 3 at the moment. It's been easy mindless fun. I find that anymore I mostly just recycle old games for a bit.

Seen this in the bookstore today. Looks like a nice book. I don’t recall hearing anything about it. Seems we are still fairly light on details here. Anyone tried it? Any thoughts or games it’s similar to?

most of the issues are with spells and multiclass dips. Maybe twilight cleric is OP. Champion fighter could use some love.

Is that what the line through the name means?

didn’t think the build was using TWF style? So shouldn’t one of those +3’s be dropped? After that it’s the difference in range and vex. I think the shortbow is mostly better. Keep a longbow around for really high range situations. Dagger thrown range is atrocious.

how exactly isn’t it true? Did you not go feature by feature down the Barbarian and say something negative about each unless there was no change?

Framing it as your opinion is invalid without experience isn’t criticizing the criticism though… I agree. My only point toward you was that requiring experience to criticize something doesn’t make sense. The points rise or fall independent of one’s experience.

IMO if your critique is going to be filled with points about stuff as weak as Barbarian Weapon Mastery restrictions then it’s probably in your interest not to post those critiques as a bunch of weak sauce critiques usually undermines your credibility on the more important ones. To be fair, your...

I don’t think it’s logical to dismiss criticism simply because of lack of experience. To me that comes across as a lazy dismissal.

Seems fairly lackluster before level 7?

Then the same applies to Sorcerers. Do you really feel that way about your S tier class?

that also means you cannot assume someone else good at charisma skills is not also in the party as there’s a lot of possibilities there.

Level 1 Wizard vs level 1 Sorcerer. Sorcerer gets 4 cantrips, 2 spells known, 2 spell slots and Innate Sorcery. Wizard gets 3 cantrips, 6 spells known, 4 prepared. Ritual Casting of non-prepared spells. 2 spell slots + 1 from Arcane recovery and a better spell list. I think Wizard is better...

I think you just want everything to be a full caster with a sword ;)

Until they get deflect attacks at level 3 they can fill a bit squishy compared to most other classes. For martials their damage is often a bit lower in comparison. Many of their needed defensive features kick in a little late. Like their save bonuses. If it was a high level campaign I’d...

I think you think stranger things is much bigger than it is.

yep. Subclasses even at level 3 tie to much into your level 1 decisions. Both mechanical and narrative. Like pre choosing your subclass helps on both but if your doing that then why not just pick at level 1.
