Not long after the gnoll, the door opens again but this time it isn't a fearsome warrior and insted is a tiny gnome wearing glasses. "Is this the Tower's Shard? Nevermind, it's as dreadful as I imagined. I'm Professor Tipleton Lochglider, of the University. The only one around here. I have no...

Ok, so the process for creating the minotaur is to give him a level and role, wich determines his hit points without really any variance between kinds or types of creatures. The assign the stats a brutish monster would have, then basically ignore them when eyeballing the hit bonuses and armor a...

Certainly it's not goin to win me with nostalgia and old feel alone, specially when there already are two dozen retroclones, many of them free, which I can use to try to recreate the days when I was 15. At that age, the murderhobo party, the nonsensical dungeons, the gotcha traps, the...

I'm not a fan of durations that require extended bookkeeping either, but in any case the worst f the worst were those that depended on level. They had the unfortunate result of being underpowered when they were the most potent spells available (a summon that lasts 1 round, for example) and...

Well, they're different enough. Fighter player: I block the troll's way to give the wizard time to cast his spell! DM: You can't. The troll is much bigger and stronger than you. Fighter player: What? Those kobolds blocked me last session and they're frigging rats! DM: That's different because...

apparently he's not logged in since the 12th

Not to curb anyone's enthusiasm, but actually Prime's not approved. He still needs a second review before xp can be added, but t's not a big deal since I'm not leveling soon Also Dimsdale, I had a look at Lerrick. There's some minor corrections you should make and she's good to go

It doesn't need to work that way! you don't need to fill up a specific number of roles, you can play whatever you like. Said that, three players is a good number to start with, so as soon you're all ready and Fenris is back from his trip we can start.

Prime agrees, as he advances towards his place at the front of the group. +++You viscous things break too easily when hit+++

No problem. Take your time.

-Fix the math. Fix the magic item treadmill along this. -Fix feat bloat. Somehow. For starters, never, ever, include a feat that just gives static bonuses to whatever, specially to combat stats, since they quickly become mandatory. -Consolidate all the “damage+condition” powers into a master...

I don't think that's what he wants at all. If, anything, perhaps he wants a system that allows periods between rests with other than 4 equivalent combats without grossly disrupting class balance. Really, I don't think the question of “What if my game doesn't adjust well to the standard of 4...

I don't know, I've seen a quite wide divide at things that are very basic, and I'm not even talking about if a fighter jumping 10 meters through non-supernatural, if unusual means or what resource system should spellcasters use, but if the ruleset should be more gamist or simulationist (nobody...

That's really cool, I was thinking nobody would be interested. I have to admit, this is the first time I'll be running something like this (though I think I have a clear idea about how to). Since you have some more experience, if you have any suggestion about it I'd appreciate if you could share.

It's not enough for me to level, but it'd be cool if I got my second (non-judge) approval so I can add those xp to my sheet

They'd remain a thread because armor would substract as much as always; it was just an idea to make it increase with the level of the attacker, not the defender. In any case, I was merely entertaining the OP's idea, I don't think any developer will read this thread and agree that 5e won't have...

If, and is a big if, that scaling damage involves increasing the number of damage dice thrown then DR could work as a function of that, 1-3 points for each die so it would scale as well. This could even work as a way to make different weapons more or less effective against armor, with...

Well, WotC is planning to go back to the old school vibe, so it seems they've decided to go back to balance mechanics with plot devices. I propose we go further in this idea and make the D&Dest game of all, and balance the paladin with role-playing restrictions, and balance the monk by forcing...

So the argument that a mundane character wall running would dent the verosimilitude of fortresses modeled on real world ones and shouldn't be accepted, but it's ok to have: Commune, Contact other plane, Plane shift and the like, Zone of truth, Detect lies, and so on, Make whole, Mend...

Now that we're talking about myth and literary tradition, and why the fighter shouldn't be modelled after them, is there any reason of why the spellcasters also shouldn't be based on they typical mortal spellcaster you can find in fantasy and mythology - but instead be made more powerful by...
