Been thinking about some things.Near-er to the beginning of this I tried to say let's all stick to the "core" rules. (And yes, maybe I never made it clear enough what that was! <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="😬" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f62c.png" title="Grimacing face    :grimacing:" data-shortname=":grimacing:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />) The intent was...this game is gonna be far-out already so why not...keep it simple, stupid.. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🤗" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f917.png" title="Hugging face    :hugging:" data-shortname=":hugging:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />And then! I revised that...because I wanted everybody to be able to play unique characters and stretch the limits of this multiverse. The reasoning holds both ways... <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="➡️" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/27a1.png" title="Right arrow    :arrow_right:" data-shortname=":arrow_right:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /><img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="⬅️" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/2b05.png" title="Left arrow    :arrow_left:" data-shortname=":arrow_left:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />But we might be going a little overboard here. I'm not going to make everybody go back to "core" (whatever that is <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="😜" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61c.png" title="Winking face with tongue    :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:" data-shortname=":stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />)...There are some issues we need to address.I want to reiterate this is a game where we're making a story. This is a collective creative endeavour. So! I don't wanna clip anybody's creativity. I love that everyone is super excited. We just need to all get back on a similar page to start.Mark! I see you're over there! Your character is elegantly simple so we haven't had to muck with the rules much. Glad to have you here! <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="😁" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f601.png" title="Beaming face with smiling eyes    :grin:" data-shortname=":grin:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />Jmucchiello, I've been thinking about the home brew pixie we're gonna use...I think it's mostly okay, but let's make that invisibility power only work once a day (and that's still at level 3). Also, and I actually want to hear everyone's opinion on this, is it fair to ask for some sort of penalty on hit points or something else (?) to reflect her extremely small and fragile stature. Maybe I just don't have a good grip on all the adjoining rules to being "tiny" size.Steve and Tglassy (and everybody! <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="😉" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" title="Winking face    :wink:" data-shortname=":wink:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />), let's keep it to "point buy" or "roll four drop the lowest." I agree that's the risk you get.Along the same vein, if you're a genasi or tiefling or assimar or anything, please use the stats as presented. The whole "half-elf" or "half-something" thing is built into those races. Let's not cherry pick racial abilities or skills either.The skills available to your character are also part of that "class selection" decision. So, if you're not getting access to skills you want, maybe change class? Everyone who changed their magic stat, that's still fine."Re-flavoring" or "re-skinning" and "keeping it simple" are the names of the game here.Anyone should be able to make a badass character without resorting to completely changing a bunch of aspects of creation.I don't mind if you roll to see if you get better than point buy, and then if it's not better, just use the method that will be better. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🎲" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f3b2.png" title="Game die    :game_die:" data-shortname=":game_die:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />All my DM calls are subject to change depending on new information or re-thinking. I'm not gonna keep changing shite though unless I really need to. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="👍" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f44d.png" title="Thumbs up    :thumbsup:" data-shortname=":thumbsup:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />I'm trusting you all to help me manage the craziness. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="😝" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61d.png" title="Squinting face with tongue    :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:" data-shortname=":stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />Y'all rock! <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🎸" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f3b8.png" title="Guitar    :guitar:" data-shortname=":guitar:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />Keep the discussion flowing! We're almost there! Party!Cheers!--DM Jhary</blockquote>
