Subclasses are good for bundles of abilities that make a structured grand concept. I mean, you definately learn, basic math (1st ability), geometry (2nd abilitiy) etc. Feats paths seem better for smaller things where the first ability opens the door to various choices, like special fighting...

same as it ever was... (y)

I turned mac and cheese into bread! - technically the cheese sauce, which you add flour to and stir until evenly mixed, apparently i had added double the flour to the sauce ingredients. my friend said that they though it was a getting a little thick and not "sauce-like". I told them to keep...

"Ooze"

Ahhhh.

I've been having a hard time taking good pictures, outside rally looks like it worked well. And they look so good I might have to copy the style for my Carnifex (evil saurians).

I did not understand this. :D

NON-modern fire arms. My goblins have one shot pistols. Some clever humans are trying to retro design them and figure out the formula for pyroglycerin crystals the goblins use. Some success, some fatal accidents.

Guns in Fantasy not without precedent...

one idea some friends and I brainstormed was "guns start with advantage to hit". You may say thats crazy....but... It emulates ease of training and use. It adds to average DPR without special dice sizes for guns. It can be negated by situation/circumstances. "Done" :unsure:

Well said, and this is one of the best explanations of the "feel" that I have heard. (I still allow single use goblin guns, and gif weapons, but thats about it.)

It is similar to chosen one syndrome, but I would say in response to @Celebrim , that humans with power are the ones that caught the "dissident" entity's attention, and humans that dont represent some quality important to the entity dont. Thus, you can have as many "adventurers" as you want...

I actually understood that. (y)

You should have asked me...I agree we have been doing calculations since the beginning of time. Its why I know that a d6 is 3.5, not 3 or 4. The math assumptions change per edition, but statistics is statistics.

All I would say (agreed with your post), is that becuase of their value in character defintion, many DMs are being a little freeer with feats. Giving everyone a free feat at the beginning of near beginning of the campaign brings that "wont be getting it sooner" value down to about 4th level...

I agree with @payn

Sounds about right for my use, as a tradition or style you can dabble or max out.

Oh @Benjamin Olson , I give a free feat in game to represent stuff like starting a tradition or joining a group. I just make sure they really only get one free like this.

Your assessment is spot on. My intention is to have a way to do styles and traditions without committing to a subclass. So "my" feat paths may be three or four feats, but the first one will give you the theme, i.e. a wizard or cleric can be a blood mage. Or any one could learn martial...
