[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8385658, member: 93670"] I'm (still) on my phone right now. Yes hit harder. By allowing players to subtract zero to two damage per hit I could use/make monsters thst hit more often and fbrought a bigger stick as a result. More attacks per round going out st players made yoyo healing more dangerous while the reduction for crunchy types had better durability than less crunchy types so they didn't need so much healing. Yhe dr was on top of ac, if bob was in plate and got joy three times for a total of 20 damage he can trivially subtract 6 from 20 and 14 from his hp Players needed to focus for more and use control abilities to protect from some opponents being in range or whatever so it sped things in that way while the rougher monsters I threw out meant that I could give more magic items. Unfortunately wotc removes cantrip casters from the equation where loot tables can do much and correcting that is very nontrivial without changes that move into "is this still d&d 5e?" Territory. Eventually covid hit and I quit gming [/QUOTE]
