    D&D 5E (2014) Is Point Buy Balanced?

    Lack of OP reading is strong with you.

    Dungeons & Dragons: Warlock Video Game Announced by Invoke Studios

    Okay but, wasn't bioware's internal management mostly the same from the earlier games to the newer ones?

    D&D General The Monsters Know What They're Doing ... Are Unsure on 5e24

    I'd be disgusted too if I found most of the 2024 changes to be worse than 2014 regardless of how similar everything else is. I don't, i find some good and some bad, probably about 50-50, but i don't think it's hard to understand why someone that didn't share that opinion might feel that way...

    D&D General The Monsters Know What They're Doing ... Are Unsure on 5e24

    Side note: shouldn't the cleric have been dead at -6 str?

    D&D 5E (2014) Is Point Buy Balanced?

    If we assume the process goes something like this. Create otherwise identical characters with different point buy arrays. (Same mechanics and personality even though stats often are used by players to inform personality and roleplay and even sometimes most effective ability choices). Face...

    D&D General How Did You Generate Your Most Recent Character's Stats?

    Sometimes it’s also fun to be surprised and to not be able to cookie cutter a character. That’s the feeling I like with rolling. Though too bad of rolls pigeon holes things too much and I dislike that. I need one or 2 good stats but after that the rest can be whatever.

    D&D General Mike Mearls says control spells are ruining 5th Edition

    The question is whether that’s the exception or the rule. Cherry picking a few enemies doesn’t validate your point. Perhaps almost all of them are that way, but that’s not what you are currently saying. For single target control you rarely need more than 1st or 2nd level slots…

    The "math" of RPGs

    Considering I said happen more and not more often then I think this entire defense by distinction falls on its face.

    Thread block

    I’m curious. 1. Have you ever actually been harassed on here and 2. What exact behavior are you calling harrassement? My guess is we have much different ideas about what constitutes harassment.

    That doesn’t make sense to me either. How can they harass you if you have them on ignore?

    The "math" of RPGs

    That’s precisely how probability works. You are misapplying the average out concept here. If you have a 1% chance and have 10000 samples then on average that result will occur 100 times. If it’s 100,000 samples then it’ll occur on average 1000 times. More samples -> more occurrences.

    The "math" of RPGs

    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...

    The "math" of RPGs

    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...

    General video game discussion

    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.

    The Cosmere Game Review

    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?

    D&D General What are the issues with the 2014 Subclasses

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

    D&D 5E (2024) Breaking The Eldritch Knight (Eberron)

    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.
