I'm jobless and my car was recently stolen so, I won't be making GenCon this year but, I just wanted to let you admins all know that this was a really nice gesture on your part. You all really go out of your way to help the community and especially you Skerrit, have always taken the time to...
This is one of the most inspiring threads I've read in a long time! Which is why I gave u XP! I too, tend to over think things. It's good to hear all of your hard work and effort pay off. One of the hardest things for our hobby is teaching new players. Your innovative way of handling the...
Since what you quoted is from multiple posts from 2 separate messgae boards and condensed for
his benefit, let me clarify 'cuz it seems ur misunderstanding :)
It has nothing to do with that. I'm actually talking about multiclass prereqs. Monks need two stats at 13, wizards need one, etc. :)
Fair enough :) I'll agree with u that they don't get as much. But, multiple "martial class" attacks isn't the only issue, see the above post on MC stat prereqs.
I'm ok with an , "or", just not an, "and", when it doesn't aplly equally across the board. I agree , interesting that it's all of the, "martial classes", that have stricter and in the case of, all butvthe fighter, stricter and unfair rules.
I agree with you once again about tough choices. My issue aren't the tough choices, it's that the choices aren't fair an equitable across the board. The following are two examples I'll reprint here that I posted earlier in this post, so you don't have to shift through:
If all classes are...
The problem isn't houseruling for home games. I AGREE with you on that issue. It's that theycan't be 'ported to OP (Organized Play) , such as Adventures League with said house rules.
Regardless of the rog/mnk roleplay issue being relevant to this post or not, the following is relevant:
If all classes are relatively balanced, why is Ftr Str OR Dex, Mnk Dex AND Wis, Pal Str AND Cha, Rgr Dex AND Wis, and all other classes are just one Stat?
Ftr being 'either/or' implies...
My apologies. I'm cut and pasted that all from another forum with my
Messed up not properly updated iPhone 4s. Some clarifications:
1) The rog/mnk multiclass isn't level 20. It is a level 10 that we are
Trying to 'port from 3E where she had 2 levels of Rog.
2) another example is my...

Unfortunately, NOTHING is worth a, 2 level dip", in 5E, unless u want to give up an Ability Score increase or Feat. Since stat increases/feats are CLASS based and NOT...
Comparing two CR6 Humanoid (humans):
Rath Modar (p.92, HotDQ) &
Mage (DM's Basic Rules p.55)
As far as I can tell Rath beats the Mage in every category,
Except having 1 more pt. in Cha. and 1 pt. Of Atk Bonus. Rath has a special reaction, is an 11th level caster compared to the Mage's 9th...
Prism,
I know what you mean. I just read your awesome analysis over in the other pist:
Since there has been plenty of debate over the Lost Mine of Phandelver and its difficulty I thought I would use the new DM encounter guidelines to see if they shed any light.
Assuming a party of 5...
@ Prism,
Sounds like a plan. I just don't know how to determine CR in the 1st place. According to the basic Ds
PDF, the sidebars and text on it look to say the same things, yet differently.
I'm just confused. I guess I can just throw things at PCs and see if it's a TPK and then go from...
@ Sword-of-Spirit,
Thanks, that makes a bit more sense now. Although 3.x had many
Awesome Sauce moments, for me (IMHO), the CR system wasn't
One of them. I'm glad the 5E CR system is a horse of a different
Color. So, even though the Green Dragon in LMoP has 16 HD, it's
An appropriate...
