okay...except i can say that about any ranged weapon in dnd, and nobody complains about crossbows making no sense.

i know what's being made fun of, im saying the translation into parody was flawed.

the joke doesn't even make sense. dnd's main product is dnd books, not dice. if anything he should be pretending to eat a phb or something.

this made me think of moon knight's moon blades...which made me think of his moon plane, because i saw a video narrating a moon knight comic earlier where he described moon knight calling his ship to hit a running criminal as moon knight "throwing a blade at him", which i found really funny at...

"Trust me on this one - you don't wanna know. Audrey - don't tell him. You shouldn't have told me, but ya did, and now I'm tellin' YOU, you don't wanna know!" "That was no accident. It was by design." "If you have to shoot, shoot! Don't talk!" "I like being bad. It makes me happy." "You've...

yeah i think this really puts into words why this whole thing left a sour taste in my mouth. this wasn't an encounter, it was a set piece.

level up a5e is the closest to that i can think of in that every martial gets bo9s style maneuvers, but it's scaled down to around 5e balance levels, so it's probably not quite as gonzo as you're hoping for.

but thematically it's just lame. wanted to hunt prey? there's already a class for that - it's called the RANGER. and daredevil? seriously? it's an adventuring party, that just describes EVERYONE.

i mean, i think james really put it best: edit: removed the part of the quote about backgrounds because i think at least 2014 backgrounds are fine as is, honestly, and i only took the part james said about feats anyway

i have a...poor opinion on 2024, so i probably wouldn't pick this up. kind of a shame, because it sounds sick as hell otherwise.

im actually particularly interested in the settlement rules and how far they can expand

mechanical precedent is mechanical precedent. you can house rule otherwise but it probably won't feel right. just as a reminder, the earliest you can possibly have a 4th degree maneuver is level 12. that's 6th level spells for spellcasters. i think i can believe the guy who can keep up with...

nothing i can think of. a feat would be the easy way to do it, but a stance would make the most sense - the problem is that, the way maneuver traditions are structured, it doesn't really make sense to just "add more" to a preexisting tradition, so precedent would require its own entire tradition...

do you mean giving thrown weapons the reach property?
