[QUOTE="Dorthorus, post: 8926514, member: 7040313"] This is an attempt to redo a 3.5 halfdragon with vow of poverty fighter/barbarian gestalt to 5e. And while it was OP and could've been broken it was held in check by strict adherence to the "flaws" in the meta game. It was a very meta focused campaign. As to the abilities, it makes no sense to me to have to take abilities you will never use. And I picked them based on how I played in 3.5 natural attacks or grappling and all of the paths I would only ever be using one of the abilities while the others never get used. By halfdragon it will be using dragonborne, so only a flavor change no stat difference. By can't own anything... I still get my share of treasure but it must all be donated to charity and no one can carry things for me. VoP allowed for bare essentials all of which was under 10gp. Weapons and armor were forbidden by my God. Even if I had to use them it was an automatic 1. So if i tried to use a knife to open a door or cut something id get hurt. It was more for a rare circumstance, and it is true it won't come up often. Claws bite and tail with no way to make them any better is in no way equal to what a higher level barb can do with weapons plus any barb can get them at 3 anyways. Can't use magic was was no using items or benefit from magic including potions. 3.5 you had to be willing, but even if that doesn't apply if a ally were to cast cure wounds or a buff on me there would be harsh meta repercussions as that would be like blasphemy to the character and would probably not rest until whoever cast it died. But still this could easily be fixed by my patron God forbids it and blocks any effect deemed by the dm to be a benefit or positive. I don't want any help from magic. Without magic recovering HP is much harder and in itself a big hindrance if battles drag on or multiple battles back to back. The one ritual was because I was gifted from my God the ability to talk to my animal friends, but I can go without that. I'm not trying to break the game I'm trying to play a very specific character all natural religious zealot [/QUOTE]
