Actually, the scaling is one reason I'm not overly concerned with it. It's a great ability when you are fighting goblins. When fighting giants, it's more of a consolation prize (and potentially more palatable fiction-wise).

I guess this whole idea swings on whether someone believes hit points are a combination of body/fatigue/luck/plot amour or if they think they are 100% body. To me personally, I've always thought it obvious they were the former. High level fighters get more stamina for dodging, more skill for...

I like the idea that these weapons are so massive that it takes extra work to block or dodge them. That you even feel it through the armour. But I wonder if the name ‘Graze’ conveys that. Maybe something like Gruelling, or Punishing. Um…guess that doesn’t fit with the naming pattern. Tire...

I like graze, but adding that rider seems to be a sensible addition.

Depends on how many rests.... Wait, we've done this dance before :) I'll get my coat...

Well, the main point was Short, but actually I guess it doesn't matter. How many encounters before you can reliably expect a rest of some sort?

Yeah, you're pretty much correct on that. I was just trying to piggy-back on existing mechanics, but as you say, they've been moving away from that. Twice a day, with regaining all slots works for me.

That would definitely be an increase in power, though, wouldn’t it? Since Prof Bonus goes all the way to six. I don’t think there’s anyone taking 5 or 6 short rests between Long, although I could be wrong!

I’ve changed it to allow more than one vote, to accommodate people with multiple groups. I would just take the average within each group though, as I know there is a ton of variables.

This is the second poll on rests, only because it was suggested that per encounter was a more useful metric than Short Rests per Long. So, how many encounters (on average) does your group make it through before taking a rest, for whatever reason?

You know, you’re right. Per encounter probably makes more sense. I should probably make a new poll…

You’re right, but I couldn’t figure out how to do that without setting up a separate poll. I figured I start with this and see where it takes me…

With all the discussions around the new Warlock changes, one thing that keeps coming up is the variance in how many Short Rests groups take. For whatever reason, some groups have more opportunity to Rest. Since this has a direct effect on Pact Magic, I thought it be interesting to see where...

How about this idea: Keep Pact Magic the same, but remove recharge on Short Rest, and add: Pact Meditation: A warlock can spend one minute meditating to refocus their internal energies. After doing so, they regain one Pact Magic spell slot. This can be done an number of times equal to the...

That's very interesting! It never ceases to amaze me how players can look at a set of mechanics and react in the opposite way. Personally, 6 over the course of the day would feel better, because if I use one, I still have five left (or four, or three). I'd be much more likely to use one a...

i know people are asking for a very stream-lined system, but that’s taking it a little far… :)

To be honest, I'm not sure I see the difference. But I appreciate your posts attempting to clarify it! I suspect we're both at a communication impasse on this...damn this internet thing :).

I can’t comment on this directly (as I think I pretty much proved I’m not qualified to a few posts ago…heh). But I wanted to say the posts like this is why I think all the discussions during this play test are useful. There are all sorts of permutations running all the way from one end to the...

And this why I’ll go back to commenting on other peoples designs :). Thanks!

And again, much smarter people than me prevail! Thanks for laying it out so clearly!
