[QUOTE="overgeeked, post: 8266717, member: 86653"] Right. Something like Inspiration cap of your prof bonus. They're only advantages. It's not like having a few in your pocket is going to break the game. Yeah, I'm kinda meh about it as it stands. I wish they'd have tied them together more. I get that stress would reduce your fear save, that makes sense, of course, but I think the fear save should be based on the monster or circumstances, not just a flat DC15. Dis/advantage are the equivalent to a -/+5, sure, but I didn't see mention of using dis/ad for that in the text. Though, to be fair, I was zooming in on the highest resolution YouTube video of the guy flipping through, so I might have missed it. Something like you take stress from not roleplaying off your Seeds of Fear, in addition to everything else listed. There's only so much carrot available for RPing in 5E, a bit more stick would be nice here. Also, the genres of horror looked pretty good. A double-page spread for each of the main ones with plenty of charts and advice. [/QUOTE]
