I wish! I really do, but looking at saga edition with all the issues it had, the five classes felt like they gave me plenty of room to build every character I wanted, while the classes in 5th edition feel so narrow that I am always frustrated just by thought of having to build a character with...

I have to say, I have no issue with metagaming. Iactually think it usually makes the game better, so I prefer to have all rolls in the open. A players who rolls bad, can then play out then the character is probably not focused enough on the task at hand or otherwise distracted or lacks...

Updated my Eager Advance feat (linked in the first post) after some feedback. Wouldn't mind to get some more feedback.

I am a little underwhelmed, but I guess the stuff is on purpose kinda weak designed to avoid a power creep.

I don't feel guilty by the decisions I make as a game master, and do not regret anything. Sure, I am not completely ruthless, I avoid railroading or touching the stats of the characters in a permanent way (except in one-shot horror adventures, where it is clear from the beginning that horrible...

Celestial Resistance is different (of course WotC wouldn't give them acid resistance). And cantrip and the first spell are different in the Celestial Legacy.

A chase is nothing that should be enforced, if the players have taking stuff that could immediatly bring the chase to an end, then to ignore that would devalue their choices and pretty much simply railroad them into a chase. Had a few weeks ago the situation that our group got robbed of the...

I Updated my first post! Wow, that is now far too strong, maybe just for one save... but even then, I think straight bonuses are better for fighting styles then those which change over time. I had thought about that at one point to, but it just doesn't feel like a fighting style. Maybe I would...

That one is interesting! Not sure if people would really take it, maybe with the excaption of Ranger. But it seems like a nice option to have if one has something special in mind. Another good thinking, but also mostly interesting for Rangers. Maybe with a different name in addition to my...

I think making it an immunity would be too strong, I think one should become a damage reduction, so that having both would still be useful, since damage reduction and resistance do work together.

I certainly don't think that adding finesse would a good idea there... it seems also not really necessary, since all classes which have access to this rely on strength for melee combat anyway. Giving an action, and an attack at that, seems really not the way those fighting styles are meant to...

My current character is a Monk, not a charisma-based class, and still the half-elf felt like a better option. Guess I am just not feat dependent. Sure, there are some nice feats, but with only 5 ability increases for most clases, I will most often end up not taking any feats at all (like I...

It bothers me so much, since I usually love to play humans, but so far every time I tried to build one, I ended up playing a half-elf, since it always turned out to be the better option. I feel gimped when I take a human. Don't get me wrong, feats are nice and dandy (and I even calculated them...

I also think Humans are slieghtly underpowered. I think I give the standard Human the additional free skill, and let the Variant have three different ability scores at +1. Basically deciding that the feat is worth three +1s (even though feats are only worse one ability increasement of two +1s or...

Yes it was, thanks for pointing it out, edited my first post.

Made some new fighting sytles, since the ones in the player's hand book have not been enough for me. Armor Accustomed for Fighter and Ranger While wearing medium armor your maximum Dexterity modifier you can apply to your AC increases by 1. Canny Defense for Fighter, Paladin, and Ranger While...

For me it depends on two factors. 1st and the more important one is who is at the table, some people don't like that in their gaming, also of course if you have children at the table it would be quite inappropiate. 2nd and still important is for me the setting (which is often based on a certain...

I have build me an Half-Elf Monk (with Entertainer Background to make her a belly dancer), since I was interested in playing the social character in the group. Overall I have to say, that I think the monk has not much that the class provides for the rest of the party. Sure, the class is very...

I play with the idea of having a kind of well-balanced longswords (not sure how I want to call it, Elegant Longsword or maybe Masterwork Longsword). It would get the Finesse trait in addition to everthing a normal longsword has, and that's it. Guess I would treat it like a common magic item, and...

Even though I liked the clear roles in 4th Edition (yes, I also enjoy playing MMOs), I don't mind not having clear roles with 5th Edition now (just like I don't miss them in most other RPGs). Sure, the classes have still certain ideas on which they focus, but I don't see that as role, especially...
