I think that comes back to the world building issue from some people. If you accept this is a 15th level "fighter lite"...ok that explains the stats. But it doesn't explain why my 7th level party just faced two 15th level characters. I mean....isn't 15th level extremely extremely rare?

yeah I see that one as more of "we don't need Hank Pym anymore" than because Michael Douglas is leaving. That said....its the same reason I can't stand remixes in my songs. Once I got the song in my head, THATs the correct version, everything else sounds wrong. People see a character on screen...

yep so he doesn't die right away....he just starves to death. so much better:)

Gunn is on record in an interview that Smallville was one of his favorite superman renditions, and he took the LuthorCorp name from that show.

I do respect the issue on this one, and while I agree that Superman never felt weak to me, and a lot of his fights was more about saving people than winning (because winning was a given)....but that said I do agree we never got the raw epicness of Superman Returns or Man of Steel. We could have...

I like a number of them. Graze that gives a little bonus damage....great. Nick that adds some oomph to TWF...fine. The tripping one that you have to make a save for after each and every attack....no thank you!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_with_post-credits_scenes With a touch of research I will agree with Morrus, it has had a long tradition.

I had an encounter last night against level 7 PCs using the dnd 2024 Gladiator. The gladiators did their job well, but I was surprised at party's reaction to them. My group understands that NPCs and PCs don't play by the same rules, but for some reason this one struck a chord with them. Though...

It was funny as I watched that scene...I kept thinking I had missed something. I was like "ok is that some special building that has important DC reference, or is there something written that I'm just not seeing". And then it turns out it was just a little joke with no real context and it felt...

I will firmly agree with this. Since this movie sets the tone of the new DCU, I would have rather they either forego end credit scenes or have made it important. Go one or the other. This was the worst of both worlds.

If your DM doesn’t run the game in a way you like, more rules won’t help you. It was the big revelation in 5e. 3e and 4e tried to fix the “bad dm problem” with lots of very codified rule sets covering as many situations as possible. But with 5e they realized that it just doesn’t work. DMs are...

If I were to pick one "science" fact that needed to be explained more in the movie, that was the anti-proton stream. In terms of durability feats....Superman literally bathe in a stream of basically one of the deadliest weapons you could have. A stream of anti-protons would make nuclear weapons...

To be clear, I think the OP made a perfectly fine on the spot ruling for all the activities noted. If I did my own self review after a session, I wouldn't have any concerns. I just think the conversation is now shifting more towards dispel good and evil for a future perspective. Ok now having...

I think this version is perfectly fine. If you want to simplify it a bit more and use some more core 5e rules, you could go with the 2024 exhaustion system. Every X time frame that a vampire goes without feeding, it gains 1 exhaustion. This exhaustion is fully restored when the vampire feeds...

Saw it today, absolutely loved it. To me this was Superman. Hopeful, earnest, and even naively believing the best in people. I liked that most of his fights focused on him saving people and trying to limit damage rather than the raw battle. That to me is Superman in a way that Man of Steel...

Completely possible, yet I still find it preferable to them just having to walk away from the table. I can work with them knowing things they shouldn’t, but if your entertainment isn’t entertaining that’s a much bigger issue

damn that is brilliant, never would have occurred to me to do that.

like you said, as a 90% solution that gets you most of the way there, I think this is a fine baseline. And then of course you still might have to tweak for a few specific situations but it gets you most of the way to where you wan to go without creating a large onerous list. So looks solid to me.

Nothing the thread necromancy here (4 year old thread). I will echo this. I think the little bit of players having to not use info they learn for their own roleplay is far less of an issue than players bored because they can't even sit at the table and listen to what's going on.

All I can do is quote my own experience. Which is…the books aren’t a different enough to justify. When I think 3e vs 3.5…it felt like everything was changed. So many adjustments and improvements. 5.5 in comparison is just a lot less, and wasn’t worth re-teaching my players on the things that...
