Yeah, Skerples rocks. Yeah they said Treasure Overhaul on bluesky.

A5E's 3pp has an Elementalist class that's pretty cool. I think it's in MoAR Complete? You can see the messy version on the fan Foundry A5E site (messy cuz it's just the info pulled from the FoundryVTT files).

Reversible spells were such a great concept. I guess it adds more text to a single spell, though? Donno, I like'em. And they could play into counterspelling instead of having just a flat "counterspell" spell :rolleyes: I see the appeal of the counterspell spell, it's simple, but I guess I'm not...

Based on responses in this thread, the majority of posters' experiences here don't match Mearls' experience. I don't know if his experience is based off of his own personal tables, all the playtests he's been part of, convention games, or based off of WotC's own studies on the matter. If this...

Is this a 5e-OSR homebrew ruleset? Care to share? I'm curious how you work the roll-to-cast. Aaanyway, I'm still noodling around with this whole idea- I'm torn between options 2 and 3, but I also realized that while I'm at it I'd like to address low level spell slots becoming utility-only at...

Yup. 4e and 13th Age addressed this is different ways, the 13A casters lose lower level castings as they progress and gain higher level ones. Spells can still be "upcast" by using the higher level casts.

Where, at Gencon or something?

Wow, that the book includes those minigames has really turned this into a must-buy. Now it's just a matter of when...

While I wouldn't trust much coming out of that guy (during the CSIO debacle he posted saying he'd be doing more work with GG, which GG then had to refute), one questions the wisdom of continuing to do business with a guy that keeps starting fires you have to put out, and who has repeatedly put...

Were the two relevant pieces this statement and this video? I suppose there's no broken word here, just like you said bending their stance cuz they really wanted CISO made. And I guess no one should be surprised that the guy they're doing business with keeps on with his shite attitude and public...

As a 4th level cleric I'm surprised you'd be getting ac that high at all, unless you're including shield of faith. But tier 2 is where stuff starts to take off, and where the PCs can take on big stuff with big plunder deliveries. Magic armor and magic shields, cloaks of protection, rings of...

Players that're optimization-minded will get their ACs up to silly levels, especially if all the splatbooks and multiclassing etc. are allowed. But even with core book stuff, it's quite easy for a tanky PC to get their AC up to the mid-20s in later tier 2 play. Obviously that's not going to be...
