Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jaeger" data-source="post: 8271179" data-attributes="member: 27996">I admire your thread stamina.But the OP has taken a very heads I win, tails you lose, stance defending his position.He has openly declared:-EDIT- It seems that doctorbadwolf has added me to his ignore list so that I can no longer see his posts or my quotes from them - Executing the time honored debating tradition of the: 'La, la, la, la, la, la,  I can't hear you...' defense. -EDIT-The full quote that I responded to:doctorbadwolf:"The salient question isn't whether I can easily mod the game for broad consumption. The question is can I mod the game easily for a specific story. If that means adding damage to monsters but not PCs to make PCs feel fragile, or to scoop out HP entirely and replace it with a system of graduated damage thresholds where damage over a threshold has increasingly deleterious effects, and massive damage can one-shot you out of the fight, the game won't break. It will play differently.Average damage remains the same, stuff like DR and resistance and THP work the same, but are more important. Healing would need some kind of conversion system that can be made into a chart based on healing by level converted into "X healing has Y effect", and that would be possibly the hardest part. I wouldn't bother unless I was making a whole game based on 5e, but if it somehow served what I needed for a story, it'd be work that I'd enjoy doing enough that I wouldn't mind it. Nothing wrong with not making the same choice, but I'm not going to pretend that 5e can't handle that sort of thing just because the process would be time consuming."To the point of having to re-write 5e into an entirely new "5e based" game; the OP will not concede that there is a genre that 5e cannot do well.You are trying to squeeze an ocean of water from a desert stone here Hussar.</blockquote>
