D&D General Requesting permission to have something cool

[mamba]

See now thats a much more pressing item in my estimation as well.

not in mine, I killed the Ranger as a class

 

[mamba]

Is there a character class that gives a once every few days cure, turning skeletons only, and no armor or weapon prof?

no, because players take the version that is the Cleric, doesn’t mean that the town priest serving the same god does not get any powers granted from that god

 

[Micah Sweet]

Care? I ain't got the time. Still gotta work, eat, eat again, and yelling at the TV because my football team sucks.

And fighter ain't beating ranger in my priorities, bub.

So I don't play fighter as a player and cheat for fighters when I DM.

Then what are you worrying about? Seems like you've got a solution that works for you.

 

[Micah Sweet]

let me guess, for martials that is 5e, or are you homebrewing them?

I play Level Up for my 5e needs, and supplement it with 3pp I find that looks cool and not too broken. Haven't had any fighter v. caster complaints at the table yet. I mostly just find it fun to talk about.

It felt like some would say that anything an NPC can do that a PC can. But I guess no one objects to someone voluntarily being weaker. I move to withdraw the mark and amend the record.

What did your fighter do to drop 550 on them before the dragon got an action? (Surprise round and then one initiative, or...?)

Yes. He was not entirely unaided as he had spells cast on him from allies and potions, but he was the only one that took actions.

The group waited until the dragon was asleep, then he moved in during a surprise round while hasted and polymorphed into a giant eagle (stealth with d12 bardic inspiration, d4 guidance on top of a +15 bonus (he drank a potion that gave him expertise in stealth for 1 hour - homebrew) and advantage), crashed to end the polymorph, stood up, then launched a full series of attacks using action surge on the prone dragon (including haste and bonus action), and then was first in initiative (by design) and repeated the process.

The fighter was hitting for about 40 per strike with 29 Strength, a high damage weapon (Similar to a Dragon's Wrath Weapon - but homebrew and filled with a few oddball abilities), great weapon master, and a few spell enhancements. He had about 20 attacks he could have made but did not need them all.

Sounds pretty mythical and epic.

Sounds like a very permissive GM...

 

[Remathilis]

The bolded is an unrecoverable system bug rather than in any way a feature, and goes a long way toward explaining my general dislike of WotC-era design.

The design ethos began early into 2e. The last time PCs were nobody's at first level was Basic, when fighters had d8 HP, clerics didn't get a spell until 2nd level, thieves had a 15% chance of doing something useful, and magic users cast sleep and then became walking rations.

I'm not selfish.

I did have a "I don't have a problem so I don't care" mentality that is unfortunately not uncommon in the RPG..`. no... gaming..community.
