Yes it’s a pain to miss out on the PDFs. There is some service bricks and something that is supposed to allow you to get the digital version if you buy physical copies in store. But of course only some publishers are involved (I didn’t see MCDM in the list) and I couldn’t figure out how to use...

I believe the book describes it as, if you can’t/don’t actively defend then armour won’t help you. They’ll just hit you were there isn’t armour. Which mostly makes sense to me, but I agree it’s a big change from passive always on defence. Just like D&D just because I lose hit points doesn’t...

I can imagine issues with 3rd party stuff but it seems like WOTC’s “fix” was just to ensure almost nothing stacks for AC. And looking at the phb I don’t see much to really crank it up (except for a round or two). Just thinking about my 4th level cleric it doesn’t seem like I have options to get...

Just thinking about the AC thing... I wonder how much of this issue is because of bounded accuracy? Thanks to bounded accuracy players should land hits more often than enemies. Once you know you will hit your opponent more and it's a race to 0 why not stand toe to toe and swing. They are...

If bounded accuracy is working you shouldn't be able to get your AC high enough to be too much of a problem. In the 3e day's it was certainly possible to focus on your AC to the point that only a 20 hit you, but if bounded accuracy worked (and it seems to have) your enemies should still have a...

I have to go into a meeting (stupid work). I don't use twitch so I'm wondering if you can tell me if this will be available as a recording after the live stream is done (like youTube does)? EDIT: I see that it is there are a recording. :)

I must be missing something (probably am), or we are talking about different feats: https://www.dndbeyond.com/feats/1789147-grappler?msockid=39862af5f84f6e6231093fc0f92e6f5b

More info: Info from play test at con. Described as “powered by Drawsteel”, grittier, simpler version of DrawSteel. As you are damaged you lose access to to your items, sounds different from skull and crown where your items and skills are your hit points.

Oh… interesting. Do have a link to sage advice or anything? Both google and bing AI seem to get this wrong. I can find sage advice saying you can’t counter spell on your turn after casting a fireball, but nothing about reaction casting later in the same round.

Personally I like the “Path of the red mist berserker”. I mean that’s pretty descriptive 😂 - Hey what kind of fighting style do you use? - “Path of the red mist” 👀

I agree this is just one campagin and anecdotal at best. The problem with grapple is you only tie up one enemy if you succeed at the enemy is probably pretty good at resisting a grapple Edit: also I was wondering if I was getting a bit screwed on my save or suck spells but I don’t think I...

Yes I feel like people are ignoring class abilities a bit here…

Why not take a non-caster that gets to defend more than once then?

Most characters only being able to only defend once per round is the reason you won't run it? I mean you could always say you can defend for more actions, you'd just have to compensate players that chose a class for that ability. But I would caution that I think lack of defense uses is supposed...

Another issue in D&D is a lack of "stickiness" for melee classes means it's usually pretty easy for enemies to just bypass and go for the soft targets, especially at lower levels. Let not forget it's just as import for the enemies to eliminate action takers as quickly as possible. Any moderately...

Some people will only play D&D, so everyone wants their system of choice reskinned as D&D :) I've often said before almost any of these systems would be the market leader if they were just labelled D&D. That's the power it has.

Ah I see, I don’t hate it but why not just have stats that are -9 to +8 then and get rid of stat - 10? If we kept the base stats I’d rather switch to a roll under stat system. Need a reflex save? Roll a d20 and get <=12 or <12, if that’s what you want. I think Vagabond does something like this...

I think the notes idea is interesting and would lean into the theory that D&D is a toolkit, but I don’t think the designers see it as a toolkit like that. Of course I don’t think it’s a toolkit so I would interpret things that way through my bias :) Should D&D become a full tool kit system? It...

I’d have to see the implementation to really decide but my initial reactions is we need less derived numbers involving 3 or more numbers (such as spell save, to hit bonus) not more. When I used to play with more rules/numbers intense people it was fine. But those things don’t work well with...

Regarding point 1 you can defend more than once you just have to be good at fighting. Like a champion of bulwark with shield expert (and a shield). It’s one of the things I like about nimble. You can actually build a “tank” someone who draws attacks and is noticeably better at absorbing hits...
