It also has little to do with rangers, who are more often Dex-based than Strength...

Right now we are doing the standard RAW method, but with a twist: You have to make a Dexterity saving throw (DC = 10 + number of dice) or the damage rolled is dealt to your MAXIMUM hit points FIRST, and then AGAIN to your remaining hit points. The Dex save can be made with advantage for soft...

Again, "big muscles" is a very big part of strength. Professional bodybuilders are strong, folks. Those big muscles are not entirely for show. ;) And the strongest guys in the world (and gals!) do have "big muscles" as well, even if they aren't shredded for show. Of course, body weight adds to...

I'm not a big warlock player, and although I am familiar with many of the current official patrons, for my current game a player is looking for something "different". Given the path the game will likely follow, I thought a patron based on powerful magical items might work well. Just so I don't...

Love the concept, still don't like the style...

It is, especially in terms such as lifting, etc. As creatures get larger, just doubling lifting is insufficient IMO. Here is something we added: If the thrown creature his a solid object, such as a wall, it takes falling damage (plus the STR mod of the thrower), otherwise damage is half. A...
