I'm going to assume this ALSO extends to heteronormative relationships as well? You don't allow PCs to flirt with the barmaid, hire a call girl, or marry their childhood sweetheart? No succubi, nymphs or satyrs using their magic to entice mortals info debauchery? Absolutely no bards rolling to...
Always available magic was one of the complaints heard. It was not wandslingers per se, but the idea a caster is never out of juice while the archer had finite ammo.
Low bar, I agree.
I like the aesthetic. It's simple and does buy into the power fantasy of a knight with infernal weapons and armor. My criticism was that the hell dice were too limited and didn't scale well (either you need them to be much more frequent or much more impactful than 1d6...
Ravenloft: The Horror Within has a release date of June 16th, with prerelease two weeks sooner (6/2). Anyone want to wager a guess (or provide an answer) on when the presale goes live? I'm curious on the info they are going to provide (# of subs, etc) and if/what DLC it might get.
I voted everything grass green. Hopefully that's enough to offset someone's vote so we don't get yet another great idea sacrificed to the altar of cranky DMs who then complain how WotC takes no chances.
"Let's start with the very likely false premise that The Beast with Seven Heads and Seven Diadems has arisen, taken control of all worldly nations, and forced them all to bow to it for seven years of tribulation. How will this market pressure impact WotC with the design and production of a D&D...
One of the things I really liked was when 3e tried to expand alchemy into other areas. The PHB had alchemist fire, acid, tanglefoot bags, etc. Eberron added alchemist frost and alchemist spark (doing other elemental damage). The problem is that alchemy doesn't scale and quickly becomes obsolete...
D&D opts to ignore it. Which is fine. D&D armor is hardly realistic. The kinetic impact of 21 foot tall, 8,000 lb giant's axe would reduce a human to red mist; plate armor or no. The same armor would roast him alive when bathed like dragonfire like a baked potato in tinfoil. Bullets are child's...
Would a tinkerer make regular bullets and a thinkerer make mind bullets?
And if you think about it (heh) full plate is just as expensive and time consuming to make. So most of the world building considerations that a firearm would have would apply to plate.
