Things that I thought of when I saw this thread! "Oh! It is a point buy vs. standard array thread. Well that is a nice change from arguing about rolling vs. point buy." Starts to read thread... "And now it is rolling vs. point buy again." Then... "Wow, this is an old thread. But maybe it was...

To continue on this thread, because I enjoy discussing D&D and I no longer have anyone to talk to about it, so this board is all I have for now, I would like to explain that my view point comes from a simulationist perspective. Now I don't want an absolute simulation, but I want a semblance of...

I will not pretend to have read the entirety of this (extremely) long thread, but I have read quite a bit, and I have seen your answers, but I don't think they actually answer what I (and others) are asking. But you don't need to post them again (and I'm sure you don't want to :) ) at this point...

Wow. That's insulting. I think everyone here understands the new rule of putting your +2 and +1 in whatever stat you want. That is not the problem. The problem is that a great many of us think that is a bad way to set as the default. Leave it as an optional rule, it's great! (in my opinion) But...

I don't believe for a second that ASIs were never intended to represent biological differences between the fantasy races (species) in D&D. And to say that they were never intended to in the past is blatantly false. To say, "This increase reflects an archetypal bit of excellence in the...

Mindra looks thoughtful at the mention of the orb, then mutters to herself, "I don't remember our arrival here at all. I was out until Theremin gave me that potion." Mindra was unconscious when Liam put the orb in the center impression on the table. But it didn't travel with us when we...

"I come from a small community of Elves South of Irine. The war has been over for quite some time and most of the people in my village are just focused on building their community and trying to ignore politics as much as possible. Honestly it was so dreadfully boring that I decided to go out and...

Mindra takes advantage of the time to rest, entering a trance for 4 hours and rejuvenating her mind and body. While the others still slept she thoroughly explored their accommodations trying to find any place she can observe things going on outside or places that can be used to hide or ambush...

Mindra will just try to remain unobtrusive as those with better social skills make our opening bid.

Mindra only lost temp HP, so she is good on that front. The -3 strength will just have to wait until she gets some sleep. As we approach the village Mindra will put her bow down on the deck right next to her so that it is out of sight, but can be grabbed easily if she needs it.

"We can all use a rest after that," Mindra looks around at the gloomy forest, "but we'll have to stay alert." Weakened by a hit from a shadow, Mindra finds a place to sit back and rest. She tries to remain aware of her surroundings, but rest takes precedent. She hopes that those less effected by...

Mindra is getting a bit desperate as she and her friends have yet to take down one of the shadows. Hoping to thin their numbers, she continues to focus on the shadows attacking Beturea, but also trying to target a shadow that looks fairly ragged already. Taking aim, she pierces another shadow...

Well it definitely has a Jedi feel to it, but I like that concept anyway, so it works for me. Another note is that, with the Telekinetic feat at 1st level I can play a Psi Warrior right away and don't have to wait until 3rd level for it to kick in.

Sure, and I'm saying that there are people that like that gamble. I'll agree that killing your team with a fireball might not be fun, but the one time our sorcerer was turned into a potted plant was hilarious. Afterwards his character claimed he had seen the error of his ways after having seen...

I had a Psychic Warrior from the 3.x days, so the Psi Warrior lets me remake him. Not exactly the same, but with the same flavor. Variant Human, +1 Dex, +1 Con, Feat: Telekinetic (+1 Int), Skill: Acrobatics Other skills: Athletics, History, Insight, Perception Fighting Style: Blind Fighting...

Seeing as Beturea insists on continuing to put herself in harms way, Mindra prioritizes her targets to help her as much as she can. Lining up on the oddly sparkly shadow Mindra sinks an arrow into it before hiding back behind her crates. Mindra will attack shadow #1 Shortbow attack with...

One thing I have found useful about running characters of the opposite gender is that it allows you to practice trying to think like the opposite gender. Which is then useful for when you are trying to write a story. I'm sure I am not the only person here that has tried their hand at authoring...

My first impressions. Drow are gray and WotC doesn't like drawbacks on abilities, powers, or characters in general. First, drow. Honestly I always thought the pitch black skinned drow were very difficult to picture, and extremely difficult to draw. If you look back at previous version of D&D...

You list second wind, but I think you meant action surge. :)
