[QUOTE="GMMichael, post: 7622814, member: 6685730"] I feel obligated to defend Truenaming since I mentioned using Tome of Magic earlier... Not sure where you're getting the "additional layers of die rolls," unless you're referring to the requirement to make a Truespeak roll, which isn't any different from a fighter making an attack roll. The tricky part about Truenaming was the DC increasing by twice your opponent's CR. As far as I could tell, that required your truenamer to be min-maxed in order to be effective against any higher-level opponents. Ugh. Do we need a new thread for this? Well don't hold back ;) Ever heard, "what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger?" Same thing with PbtA. It's pretty radical to me, which is a good thing for the hobby. I've read it, would play it, haven't though. [/QUOTE]
