[QUOTE="robus, post: 7617921, member: 6801558"] They had to draw the line somewhere and knew they had Out of the Abyss in the plan to fill in those gaps. It’s a good question. Stamina seems like a fine skill. My question would be they just didn’t think it would come up enough to warrant inclusion. When you think about it, there are tons of skills that aren’t included. Also the core stats used to mean something different and have been adapted to this current purpose. My memory is two handed rolls a bigger damage die. Away from books at the mo. Dunno? 20 is for capstone abilities. An ability score increase would be a bit underwhelming. because fighters have a limited palette from which to choose so WotC filled it in with ASIs? It’s to try and balance casters with other classes so they don’t overwhelm every encounter. Again, to try and constrain these abilities so the characters don’t dominate the party. No, and no. You have a limited set of hit dice, and you can roll some number of them two times in an adventuring day. You regain half your total hit dice after a long rest. So if Bob is on his first short rest and has all his hit dice available he can roll up to 8d10s. that number of hit dice are removed from his pool for the day. If Bob short rests a second time he can only roll his remaining dice in his pool. Once Bob has a long rest he gets back half of his total. It’s not complicated, just more random. Others have done the probability math, but it does work out to a decent bonus *over time*. Players like rolling twice and picking the better (when they have advantage) Because they chose wisdom? Confidence (separate from bravado) comes from wisdom. (After all, imagining people in their underwear when public speaking is the wisdom to recognize that underneath everything we’re all just human) No. If it’s not mentioned it’s not happening. This is a new edition, they’ve made some edits. You could take this up with the editors? not sure what you’re referring to? Some homebrew effort perhaps? You’re welcome, I hope... [/QUOTE]
