the DMG grants a "can" not a "must" heck not even he "should" even if you read the "play examples" they don't deviate from RAW, there is not one example of the GM winging a ruling something other games (like Fate) call out on purpose but we have drifted VERY off topic

Unless you also use a shield....

I can see this if you are just fighting 1 guy.... but you have to drop what's in your hand.. and seeing how evil some GMs are (the minion grabs your longsword +1 and yells "I'm rich" and runs off) I rather not :P

Trust me.. your kind is rare.... I own part of an RPG company (paradigm concepts) and played with so many different people its nuts (including an amazing opportunity I had to do a book signing in England) and while I have played with GMs as flexible as you are... I would say your a 1 out of 10...

Then what was the point in even doing it again? or asking to spend my reaction to do so? yep.. not point "just roll your save" just like "just attack" again you missed one of my points.. every other class has a way to use bonus and reactions... (maybe with the acceptation of barbarian but I'm...

and one more thing.. my 1e GM is an old school GM who ran 1e for years.. he is 100% by the book... its not in the rules.. its not allowed.. trust me if you were in Miami I would trip over myself to get into your game :/

and you missed my main point... other classes (almost all of them) have built in ways to use bonus actions and reactions... fighters get that ability through feats also the way the game works.. some actions are simply not worth it unless you have a feat.. getting up and attacking is such not...

not worth it unless the target has a high AC.... you do better just attacking and dealing damage, dead target = less attacks on the GM's side. unless you and shove someone as a bonus action its not worth it (unless you ALSO deal damage in the process that is) remember getting up only costs...

So, let me get this right... in your game any time I take a reaction to duck behind my shield to save vs. an area attack spell/effect like dragon breath you would be like "Ok, done?" every fight I would run up... as bonus action, shove a target with my shield to knock my opponent down using...

Um, no... in 1e if.... a troll ran past my fighter to attack the magic-user I could take an attack... but can I, on a successful attack do I reduce the target down to 0 movement? can I knock someone on their ass or back as bonus action using my shield? can I take a reaction to take...

no, they were totally dependent on their magic items to be good... I'm playing a 1e game right now, we are 10th level, the fighter just lost his magic armor and weapons (Rust Monster attack, surprise) we out fitted him in non-magical gear and someone lent him their +1 sword... lets say it was...

Makes for a very very boring character to be honest.... you become "what do you do now" ... Um... "I attack..." at least with feats you can knock people down with a shield, protect allies by slowing people attempting to get around you, and so on. to be honest without feats it just feels like a...

kind of sad that a fighter or hunter ranger on horse back is a better beast master then the beast master :/

I'm looking at this build for a 5e game we are about to start.. my plan is to go to 5th level paladin (maybe 6th) and go cleric (life) thr rest of the way Race: Human (Alternate) Background: Knight Background 1. P1 - Shield Mastery Feat 2. P2 - Dueling Style 3. C1 - Cleric (Life) 4-6 all...

Oh course they are 2 times better then another cleric at healing.... they are specialized in it. A war cleric is x2 times more effective in melee then the life cleric... Specialization should make you a total bad ass at your specialization...

wait you mean a class built arround being a super healer... keeps people from dieing? :::mind blown:::: I thought that was the point of a specialized healer... shoukd the result of having a healer clearic in your party be the same as having a melee cleric? I'm just looking for an expectation

I find that quite liberating, when everything is hard coded it seems to limit creativity. in the 5e games I'm running the players are trying stuff they would have never attempted in 3.X (because you needed a feat for.. well.. everything. Or the rules were so harsh that unless you were tweaked...

depends how they use it.. IF it becomes standard for the Pathfinder Society Campaign.. its not "optional" it's down right core. If they don't make the rules their in PFS enabled, it will hurt sales (the vast majority of PF players down in south florida only play PFS or play the Adventure Paths...

Umm, how is messing with the action economy (core part of the combat system), a new system where martial maneuvers granting fatigue, and redesigning entire classes NOT a new edition? I guess this is pathfinders 3.5? I’m impressed, WOTC got hell for their 3.5, but pathfinder people seem to love...

is there a "big book of skill challenges?" you know something to help you produce and design a good skill challenge?
