I nerfed it as far as the max movement you can drag an opponent with it... but that is mostly mechanical feeling 🧀 of having a lithe dex-based character suddenly forcefully drag big brutes around a battlefield. Honestly, it feels to me like there should be that differentiation on Str based...

If you fight enough Large + size monsters it becomes a dead feat. I think that fact helps balance it. Fighting alot of Big bads? Consider if your feat will be dead

Dark 70's style? I like it.

I am thinking CharGen, pretty spendy. But it looks like I can generate map tiles with it, and consistent items and such. Looks like it combines the best of many worlds with several different engines, is that fairly accurate for anyone who knows?

Boy that censorship would bother me, I want my barbarian holding that severed head trophy, but its not a deal breaker.

Thanks for the feedback. I am new to this, but did create some good stuff for my little campaign. However, there were some shortcomings to that program. 1) Subscription/budget is no barrier. 2) Alot of the Chat GPT images recently have my preferred style and char save ability. Questions: 1)...

So with all this experimenting, any opinions on which generator I should re-up? I do alot of sword-&-sorcery grit, I would like one that portrays dynamic characters, and maybe could save a character and reuse it. I enjoyed that Conan rep in previous posting. Any suggestions before I re-up with one?

Depends, you can get some pretty epic plumed helmets... especially if they magically blacken the facial features. I think either The Mandelorian or any number of Greek heroes for helms being a big part of the hero 😀

Pretty good, bringing home to the barbarian though. I just don't see the point as much with 2weap fighting & vex.l (besides personal fantasy). Using reckless attack to start a vex chain is redundant, to harmful. I would either reckless or tank my way into Purple Dragon (for easy advantage) and...

A decent use of the inspiration indeed!

That's fair. I've seen my fair share of "failure to launch" to even land the hit to start the vex chain.. often not mentioned with that build, but landing the first attack with a vex chain is a condition that often isn't mentioned.. I'd honestly rather stratify some more versatile weapon mastery...

& I hate "dmg" arguments so its crazy to think I will add to one, but people tend to gloss over the GWM bonus attack because of the situational nature and you can add the greataxe free cleave to that too. On my GWM champion I out-race the dmg of our dual wielder mightily just cleaving hordes...

Likes: 1) Decreased cognitive loading 2) The subclasses 3) Simplified movement Dislike: 1) Majority magic is combat, less utility spells 2) WoTC @tm gamer species. Just opinion, I just don't like the lizard heads and the DnD take on drow. Probably more I don't like... but hey I still play, it...

I understand that and that is fine, I know many people still use '14. The post has "DnD 5e 2024" topic-tagged, so I was just trying to verify. You couldn't pay me to go back to the old system for that.. not that I think it’s "bad", just much more streamlined now.. IMO

Is this basing more on the oddball 2014 exhaustion table? Part of why Im so high on exhaustion '24 is how streamlined it is. For cognitive loading, I say just flat cap the current '24 table to reduce the lethality aspect

I will often just put a flat exhaustion cap on (non-lethal) exhaustion.. so I have a Sword that caps at 3 levels of exhaustion max. Exhaustion caps are an easy way to differentiate the "lethalness" of the imposing situation

I thought I read somewhere that Orcus was involved in the origin of liches (DnD canon stuff). Like providing the knowledge of the rites and just letting more evil come of it. He likes to pull a pin from a hand grenade and leave it in the closet with someone after closing the door. Doesn't have...

Yeah, IMO, Zealot is more self-sufficient.. just generic healing at bonus speed can do that.... but strategy between the 2 is wholly different debate than "better at Dmg and durability in low-variance combat" You start throwing: climbing, swimming, magic users behind blockades, diversified...

Meh, strategy-wise this plays out pretty differently in my group. If discussion of strategy here. I've never loved the "kill the enemy faster" retort. I get it, but: In my playgroup, there is no "healthbars" for you to take this gamble, only announcement of if the creature is bloodied, otherwise...
