I, for one, call dibs on the circular maps.

In my world, adventurers use hydrogen coins instead of gold ones.

Kevin. Kevin shouldn't play D&D. He knows what he did. 😠

It'd depend on the disability, but my issue is more that people act like the character would just be a normal person instead of a D&D hero with all the abilities that'd make it feasible to survive. Say, fighting in melee while blind would be basically suicide in real life, but in 5e you can just...

Similarly, Raise Dead and Resurrection exist, but you still see a lot of orphan Rogues running around.

I didn't really have in mind using the real person as a statblock of character sheet, just their actual selves in the in-fiction fantasy world, without the game mechanics or superhuman abilities that allow the average D&D characters to perform feats that wouldn't normally be possible. In terms...

Without game mechanics saying they can do it, or some explicit superhuman ability, yeah. It's pretty much what I figured, but would like to see what other people think.

My idea is less about the game mechanics, and more about what real people could accomplish there. You don't need to look at it in terms of HP, AC, etc, just the in-fiction reality of humans facing what the D&D characters normally would. A character can have the "level up" to increase their...

So, I started thinking about the title while reading a Reddit thread about adventurers with disabilities, many people there were claiming it was a ridiculous concept, since they couldn't possibly survive the dangers in dungeons and such. I initially thought it was silly argument, since in the...

Sauron speedrunning the Annatar thing in S1 just to come back with a Hannah Montana wig and do it again is pretty wild.

Warrior with magic is a pretty common concept in fiction to emulate, it looks cool, and spells can be overpowered compared to the martial systems, so getting some can make your character far more effective.

It's a Legendary item in Rime of the Frostmaiden.

Ironically, they can survive The Scroll of the Comet with around 165 HP, which I'd say is around tanking a small nuke considering the size of the crater (just in regards to the explosion, there'd still be the radiation to worry about, of course".

They can, but falling from orbit and walking out of a Looney Tunes crater in the ground seems fitting for the high-level characters there.

Just 20d6 max for 5e, enough to be dangerous, but not too bad later on. Hasn't come up for PF2, but I'd probably use the 5e version for that as well. Falling isn't that dangerous compared to the other things PCs are expected to face and survive.

I prefer not rolling at all like with 5e's point buy or PF2's bonuses, but if the DM requires it I always keep what I get, no rerolls. It's how I ended up with a 6 STR, 7 DEX, 8 CON, 10 INT, 12 WIS and 12 CHA Druid in a 3.5 adventure. Somehow she survived the whole thing.

I meant in Infinity War when Thanos arrives in Wakanda, he didn't have Mjolnir then. Still stopped Thanos hand and survived a punch, which was cool, but not really something he should be able to do.

The issue with comparing a character in a game with a superhero like Batman, Captain America or the Punisher is that these guys survive the big threats mostly through copious amounts of plot armor and their enemies forgetting the powers they have. Batman isn't gonna survive a point blank attack...

PCs could choose to retire early with a few thousand gold, but they'd be missing out on a lot, mainly power. At level 5 you're pretty strong, but an orc war band, an evil lich, or a dragon in your area can still ruin your life on a whim. If you keep leveling up you'll be able to defend...
