Nah. I was being silly there.

Kobolds are smart enough to use magic (even if they've been made less intelligent in recent editions). Therefore, they are smart enough to make magic weapons (especially since there's no longer a need for high-level enchant a weapon or permanency spells like in AD&D, or XP expenditure like in...

If you run your game in someone else's home, does the person who lives in that house get to make houserules? Honestly, I've had nothing but good experiences with players suggesting house rules, or the entire group working together to make one. All you need is a group where everyone trusts each...

I'm actually going to be able to run this at some point in the future, so I'm excited. My players wanted another Ravenloft game and were fine with using Daggerheart, and several have said that they loved the character options. Don't know when I'll be able to run it (we have a bunch of games on...

I'm not seeing all that much difference between the Knight and the Veteran. The difference in reality was one of money and social standing (you had to be able to afford your armor, weapons, and horse), and there's nothing preventing a Veteran from fighting on horseback or a Knight from fighting...

Again, no. The class is not a simple support class. They have many abilities that let them take on other roles in the party.

No. People should not be forced to take on specific roles just because you think they should.

Heh. Maybe instead of regular subclasses, each subclass should have roles as their subclass. 4e had Controller, Defender, Leader, and Striker. Daggerheart doesn't have PC roles, but their monsters are divided into (among others) Bruisers, Leaders, Ranged, Skulks, Socials, and Supports. A...

But see, not everyone wants to play a healing cleric. Clerics shouldn't be locked into the role of healer just because some people think they should. Nor should all gods want all of their clerics to be nothing but healers. People should be able to decide what role they want to take.

Hey, if anyone here is using DaggerheartBrews, I'm having a huge problem. I can't export my card, and I can't create a new card--I can only overwrite my first card. Does anyone know how to fix that? I'm registered and logged in.

I'd go with one of the following: * Feat chains. But short, simple ones. 3-5 feats. The prereq would either be the feat before it or a specific level or minimum stat. Not both, and certainly not multiple of anything. You can get a new feat every X levels. Take a look at Level Up's Synergy...

Well, first, they wouldn't be materialist atheists--they'd be gnostic theists; they both believe in the gods and know they exist. I would assume that the difference between mortal and god is scale. A human can (with a big enough diamond and a long enough ritual) raise the dead. A god should be...

What I always find hilarious about pictures like this is, in reality, women didn't start shaving their legs or armpits until the 20th century. I'd love to see a version of this where the artist embraced that fact.

Casting spells while nude seems dangerous.

OK, can you stop that? Yes, we get that you think all WotC cares about is the money. Do you need to say it all the time? Try pretending that 6e will be published by a different company.

So one thing that can help to pare down spells is go whole hog with the whole "cast at higher levels" thing and combine spells, especially damaging spells. With a 1st-level slot, it functions like burning hands (small amount of damage in a small area). With a 2nd-level slot, it functions like...

He's clearly not using incapacitate in the condition sense of the word. Especially since, as far as I can tell, incapacitated wasn't even a condition in 4e [here] [here]. It's a condition in 5e--which doesn't have minions. He's wrong inasmuch as you could choose to deal nonlethal damage when...

I imagine feats would win simply because people are used to them. But you could definitely help to make the classes more unique by providing something like the warlock invocations (if I'm understand you correctly), and/or the knacks various Level Up classes get. You could easily do those in...

I could easily see something like that (feat trees, just to use standard D&D terminology) instead of subclasses. Well, a feat pole, perhaps. With different feats requiring level prereqs. Then it would require thought about how often one gets feats. Get them often enough and you can pursue more...

Yeah, but if you're at a level where giants are being used as minions, then those minions likely would be going down in one hit anyway. Remember, those ogre minions were balanced for something like level 25 characters (the math was something like monster CR + 11), which is the equivalent of...
