3PP Release Which is more intriguing?

[Corinnguard]

It's always great to meet someone who knows the rules so well!

I am not just reading them, I am trying to understand them.

As neat as the martial arts option could be, rules for athletic games is something I haven't seen much of and would be a handy thing!

They do seem popular! I suspect I'm going to have to commission both if I can get the cash to pay the writer. I'm cautiously optimistic that it'll make the goal.

And what if the Olympics-like event involves magic-use as a sport?

Well, I might have a little insight into that. No promises.

I don't regard Constitution (Insight) or Charisma (Insight) to be meaningful terms.

Maybe Charisma Insight is engaging someone and bringing out information by being an engaged listener?

That's...

Yes...

Hmm.

I'll see if that can work.

Apparently this is very easy. I'm looking forward to seeing the draft!

Constitution (Insight) could be someone noticing that another individual is not feeling well because of a disease, an unseen injury or a poison. In RL, doctors and other medical professionals are trained to look for signs that someone isn't well. It could be the same case in a fantasy setting.

If you wanted to rule that way, I'd be fine with that, but Wisdom is seeing things and this seems very much a Wisdom (Medicine) roll.

From A5e's Adventurers' Guide:

Medicine. A character can perform a Medicine check to stabilize a dying creature, treat or diagnose a disease or poison, or determine a cause of death. The most commonly used ability score is Wisdom. A character might use Intelligence to diagnose a rare poison or Constitution to nurse someone through a lengthy and dangerous illness .Specialties: animals, autopsy, diseases, herbalism, poisons.

I like how A5e allows the DM to use the other ability scores for skill checks other than the one typically associated with a particular skill. Out-of-the-box thinking?

There will be at least one example of using magic WITHIN normal sports and another example of a magical sport without normality.

So fund this, because I'm very excited for this feature. A5e offers bits that will help sports work better than in normie D&D.
