[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 7934354, member: 6801228"] Hmm, I might have a solution. Don't use DDB. I don't, haven't for the entire run of 5e except for a single play-by-post game hosted on DDB. So, that combined with telling players "okay, roll Intelligence + proficiency" takes, what, three of those complaints out of the picture? I also have to say "gritty healing doesn't work because they will just use spell slots" doesn't seem to jive with "the players are gods who sleep off all damage". I mean, if they can't sleep it off and have to use spells to heal... that is going give them fewer resources to work with, which seems to be working as intended. So, yeah. Don't use their poorly implemented digital character sheet, and the only complaint I can see as being a real tricky problem is messing with long and short rest durations. And it seems that people have found their solutions to that, as Oofta has said on many, many occasions. I was trying to think of a good way to describe Maid: RPG without name dropping it. I have a few friends who love the thing, but it is the weirdest anime game I've played. Not the weirdest out there, just the weirdest I've played. But yeah, you can kludge together systems.
