[QUOTE="ccs, post: 7617925, member: 6803664"] Definitely to sell you another book. They're in the appendix of the Princes of the Appocalypse adventure. I think you can get just the player companion part of this on Drivethru or DMsguild. There's no need for a skill for every stat. Never has been. Though I suppose if the situation seemed appropriate you could ask for an Athletics (Con) check. It does exactly what the chart shows. Use a versatile weapon 2h, roll the larger dice listed. Use it 1h & you get the smaller dice. There is no more x1.5 calculations. Since you're coming from 4e you'll have to refresh my memory of what that did there. So they can actually use them. Or get some more use out of them. Consider; once you hit 20th lv that game is almost definitely over. Or soon will be. So what'd be the point of getting an ASI at 20th other than rules symmetry? Of course you're not likely to play in a game that goes all the way to 20th lv in the 1st place..... Perks for playing those classes. It's not [I]really[/I] that complex, just maybe over written. This is D&D. Other than in 4e there's always been numerous sub-systems. 5e has just re-named a few of them. And these different systems make the classes feel different. There are no 2h finesse weapons, so no. No. The property that you need to gain an advantage by using a non-2handed weapon 2handed is called [I]Versatile[/I]. It ups the damage dice by 1 size. I suppose that you could add a versatile finesse weapon to your games if you want.... Talk with the DM, expect most to say No. Yep. Somebody I'm sure will post about this/link you to some really boring (& possibly inaccurate) math debates. In the end though? It's not important & works quite well in play. (shrugs) This stuff was generally a Will/Wisdom based save in previous editions so I assume they just kept the theme for 5e. Nope, this isn't 3x/PF. (shrugs) Only so much space in 1 book? They plan to sell you another book with it included at some point? Probably on the DMsGuild. It won't be official. Everyone & their brother can publish there so I'm sure you'll find something that'll work for you. Unless you mean Unearthed Arcana articles.
