This is a revelation to me! I never take below 12 con if I can mange it. What do you do to mitigate? I am guessing these are casters with get away abilities?

I need to plot a comeback. I need to reclaim some things age is taking away. My attitude sucks…I see a lot of darkness in the world, in loved ones having failing health…being seen as an older guy and not a young man. Hard adjustments for me. I would retreat to say South Dakota, but people...

' / I I I you had me at Conan. Speaking of which, I may defy the naysayers and play a beserker barbarian this year and really ham it up…rp some absurdly blood soaked character leaving a path of death in whatever DMs world… No one can stop me from trying! Getting old and out of shape but My...

I was laughing when I typed it I never cheat at any game, ever. Except for when I was 10 and tricked a player into believing cards in the draw deck Might be stuck together and he had a 50/50 of drawing a certain card, knowing it was 100 percent there as the last card. I have never knowingly...

But then you can’t cheat

I have seen some interesting tracks here. Balance means all choices should be equally good? I…am not able to join you there. With point buy, you CAN clone one another if you want. You can also choose something different for RP or other reasons. And who sets the standard? I have bucked...

Here is where i am with all of this: not all number combinations are equally helpful or powerful in all situations. There are few generalizations i think that are hard to deny in a standard game. Whatever you have going, it behooves you greatly to also have a con bonus if your game features...

Really appreciate this topic! Also an opportunity to type on my new Christmas present :) I often think about what score is “needed” to get by in game…I frequently buck traditional wisdom and feel free to spread scores around and take feats…meaning I feel fine taking a 16 into higher levels. I...

So and so has not posted in a long time… Oh yeah I ignored them and forgot!

The game is to be offended for people that are not offended themselves. I can’t think of anything more condescending. You’re not mad about it and let me tell you why you should be? Gtfo already

This is a great find. I just about spit coffee!

I want to do a little essay on this topic at least as it applies to 5e 2014. There is so much contradictory or supplementary guidance that you could have anything from a patron who does not know to one censoring your thoughts and you would all be correct no matter your take. This is 100% a...

I actually like it when it does—-chr bonus is meh. Actually pushing people around with it is a different story!

It’s funny, I did not give it much thought until I got it! As a result, I think when people talk about warlocks being short on spells, it gets overlooked. I have 3 from pact magic recharging on short rest and now a 6th and 7th. It’s nice actually!

It’s once a day use of a 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th level spell when you are high enough for each of them respectively. I just used arcane gate last week and will add finger of death now since leveling up. The hey don’t recharge n a short rest and are separate from pact magic.

I recently started a discussion about this Very topic. Pundits are frequently just wrong. Buyer beware…

Over the years we did some crazy stuff with party composition. But even with evil parties, it was mutual aid to win the day. In 1e we ran all one class a few times…or primarily one class with an add on… Our only real limit was generally compatible alignment…a paladin in a party of evil...

I realize I am stricter than average…I might handicap myself as player to an extent due to my anti cheese bias. But some online advice is utterly silly. Someone tortures the English language to sort of justify some combo that would not work at a majority of tables. Pet peeve of mine (but I am...

Exactly what I am talking about. “Don’t take this feat” often translates to a DPR discussion which is fine…if it’s a dpr question. And it’s said with certainty and without nuance…and a newb may well Just buy that and move on, limiting themselves needlessly. Compare and contrast pundits is...

All I know is my evil barbarian rolled 6 12s for hit points. The groans at the table were matched by my cheers. He could not hit things to save his life but soaked damage and became known as a “tree.” He was played until 1999 to level 7…and then 3e came out and he was left marauding...
