I also follow a similar line of thinking from real-world mythology. Gods is a class of otherworldly being. Like the aesir and vanir, that have a [lawful] relationship with humanity and priests acting as intermediaries. The Jotun are a different class of entities, even if they are of similar...

I like the new look. It's a change of shade only, which is tactfully conservative to in regards to what came before. And frankly, it's always been slightly iffy that "evil elf = black elf" even if it has mythological precedent from svartalfar that were said to be "blacker than pitchblack". It...

Into the Unknown is an Old School game that seeks to blend the Basic & Expert rules and style of play of the '80s with the current 5th edition ruleset of the world's most popular roleplaying game. https://o5rgames.blogspot.com/2019/05/into-unknown-is-now-available-in-print.html

This is exactly the sort of nitpicking that I am after , so thanks. It's a good point with wanderlust . I will give it some thought . I pondered about whether or not they should still have disengage . At the end of the day , I figured that with 'evade the horde' and stalkers dodge , they can...

 Halfling [Race-as-class] for 5e Hi, As part of my project to make a Menzter style version of 5e, I just completed my first attempt at one of the three racial classes, that I thought you might get a kick out of...

Fresh and unique input on this topic. Great stuff.

That is not true though. Psionic Powers has a very different treatment of Psionic. I like gurps a lot, although I prefer 5ed. But the reason I prefer dnd is exactly because I find gurps too simulationist.

I see that. Same then how, IMC, hp is a reflection of bodily fortitude, catching your breath, skill and a sort of accumulated divine luck that the gods as a whole favour the exceptional with (for similar reasons, important people in the world are often high level. They are simply favoured with...

D&D is not really Simulationist friendly at all. If you object to the things you do, you should object to notions like levelling up instead of piecemeal progression, the arbitrarily defined attributes, hit points, that AC makes you harder to hit instead of reduce damage and the very notion of...

This makes no sense at all. There is no simulation involved at all in rolling up a new character. Whether you decide to start him at 0 XP or or the same amount as your previous character it is in any case an arbitrary 'meta-game' decision. A simulationalist approach would be to simply stop...

That's what we do in our campaign - XP belongs to the player, not the character. Doing it the other way has a discouraging effect on risking your life for good roleplaying reasons.

I didn't really pay attention to the differences in the various playtest releases. I only recently realised that there were class builds and sub-classes in the playtests that are nowhere to be found in the final release. So, to those who paid attention: What good stuff is there to mine from the...

FWIW, we got an answer to this only a few days later: https://twitter.com/jeremyecrawford/status/553730387751337984 Jeremy Crawford: "A creature can try to hide within blindsight range behind cover." "Blindsight lets you spot an invisible creature in range, but that creature can still try to...

This sheet is no longer downloadable. Does anyone have a copy to share?

The weird part here is not so much your reading of the, but rather your insistence on the certainty of the text and your assumption of near unanimous agreement on this, when the text has no explicit mentions of your assertions and the majority of posters here and in other threads actually...

Let's take a look at the Monster Manual and see how it treats Blindsight: "A monster with blindsight can perceive its surroundings without relying on sight, within a specific radius." "Creatures without eyes, such as grimlocks and gray oozes, typically have this special sense, as do creatures...

Bizarre. Having sight allows me to "perceive my surroundings." That does not infer "perceive everything". That is your interpolation. A non-vague rule would be for it to say "stealth does not work against blindsight", but that is not stated. I can't read the rule is saying anything other than...

Just got the PHB and looking for sheets. This looks by far the best. Thanks!

This. I look at Next and see a mix between 2nd ed Skills & Powers & 3rd edition. I loved the direction Skills & Powers were going in (I could finally make characters that fit my vision of them) - It was broken, but it was the direction I had hoped to see 3rd edition go in, just made cleaner and...

Xykon is an epic-level lich optimized for combatting wizards, in his lair with help from high level minions. V might have had raw ultimate power in sheer spell slots and caster level, but neither the experience nor the saving throws, magic items etc. you'd expect from an epic caster. And had...
