[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 6538066, member: 11146"] [MENTION=24609]Strahd_Von_Zarovich[/MENTION] [MENTION=61026]tuxgeo[/MENTION] [MENTION=6787159]Skarsgard[/MENTION] [MENTION=95059]Forged Fury[/MENTION] ALL: I purchased the 5e PHB. It was my treat to myself last Saturday as a reward for earning my first post-law school paycheck. I haven't read the darned thing yet in its entirety (work! family!), but I own it, so it's now officially a source for this game. Kobold Stew has used the Human variant rules and done some custom crafting for his character. I like what he's done, and want to open up the same options to everyone. If we are going to do some actual in-character roleplaying, it makes sense to expand options. Now is a very good time to do so; we're in between combat, you just leveled up, and we're adding a new player. If it's in the PHB, even as a variant, please consider it available to you. If you wish to further tweak, modify, and customize, go for it. You should all have characters you want to play and enjoy. A note on Encumbrance: We won't institute the optional rule on Encumbrance so long as equipment choices remain within the realm of reason. I would much rather free us to play, rather than burn time tracking character sheets. [hr][/hr] [MENTION=23484]Kobold Stew[/MENTION], here are my comments re: Father Spec.
