And is probably a Life Cleric. Because few players WANT to cover support.

Yeah, I occasionally experiment with this. Tried to make the most dirt-simple brawler imaginable (because I'm basic). Ended up giving a Champion Fighter a reworked Martial Arts (uses STR, starts at d6, no monk weapons) and Unarmored Defence (CON). Just keep pumping STR/CON and you can pummel...

So, rerolls and an HP boost? Eh, it definitely would help in combat, but not by a massive amount. I like a lot of the suggestions here: give non-Fighters Second Wind (alt-idea: Arcane Vigor as a per-rest power), extra lore skills, up-porting sidekicks, or just letting the player run a full...

Reminds me of Pointy Hat's Druid video, where his example PC was an abandoned gardening automaton that eventually gained (or was gifted) sentience.

No Arcane Vigor, either. I was really hoping for that one. Still, got Pact Invocations, buffed Martial Arts, and no exhaustion on Berserker. I'm fairly happy.

Great to see. I hope someone can pull the few good ideas from 2024 (Boon Invocations, stronger Martial Arts, a few of the new/revised spells) and backport them into their 2014 clones. Hopefully we can all cut Wizards out of the equation as much as possible, before they pull some new bit of...

Google (Ugh, how do I get it to let me use asterisks?) Ooh, cozy mysteries in Hobbiton/Toad Hall? Powered by GUMSHOE? Color me intrigued. https://pelgranepress.com/2024/10/22/shires-out/

Oh, this looks down right precious. Always need... lighter (tonally) games on the market. I'll be keeping an eye on this one.

This was NOT on my bingo card (still waiting for the Dreamlands book and that update of World War Cthulhu that's supposed to be happening, eventually), but I am not complaining. Especially if this gives enough background to make this a viable setting past the pre-written stuff. I've been...

While this would be on the cusp of the Economic Miracle fizzling out. Could be a bit depression for some.

You know, I think I prefer Ancestry as a replacement. Because Character Creation is as simple as: Ancestry. Background. Class. Sorry, this thread felt like it needed some levity...
