Yeah I thought the pacing was weird even when I saw it in the theatres and liked it quite a bit. It's a flawed diamond to me, which is more than I can say for TROS... which basically doesn't exist in my headcanon.

I hear tomorrow is his birthday.

I feel like you're stretching a bit here. Even the Full Casters (especially Sorcerers) got more powerful in 2024, if not as much of a boost as Monks and Fighters. It's not incorrect to say that the ceiling for single-class builds has also been raised, Paladin excluded. And while yes, using the...

Yeah this definitely sounds like a rebooted version of Clusterspace with the background details moved into the mythic past (so long ago not even the gods remember). It never made sense to me that the civilizations of cluster space grew out of the remnants of what came before when it literally...

Previously I used rolling 4d6 but in my most recent campaign I switched to a non-standard array of: 17,15,14,12,10,8

....That's a distinction without much of a difference.

I can't say for sure since I've not read Memory's Wake but it did seem like something quite similar from a blurb I saw on the book.

There was lots of buzz for Spelljammer when it first launched, actually. But it got mixed reviews and was quickly overshadowed by the controversies about lacking ship combat rules and of course the hadozee debacle... and then a few months later by the OGL debacle. The setting could be great but...

I don't necessarily think making changes is a bad thing in and of itself. God knows there were some elements of 2E Spelljammer that haven't aged well. Or, hell, were godawful even for the time (Aperusa). But outside of Bral, the 5E Spelljammer material felt empty. It made space feel small.

Sounds basically the same as the average 2014 5E campaign to me.

I mean I have some problems with 2024 but I just... change those things I don't like back cough counterspell cough

It's not that the idea came from nowhere. I fully believe that WOTC had no plans for Dark Sun when that interview was given. But now that the people who expressed the resistance to Dark Sun are no longer working on D&D and the recent UAs strongly suggest it's in the pipeline. There's good...

1. Core classes: Artificer, Barbarian, Bard, Druid, Monk, Paladin, Psion, Ranger, Shaman, Sorcerer, Warlock, Warlord 2. Core species: Aasimar, Beastfolk, Bugbear, Dragonborn, Goblin, Gnome, Hobgoblin, Kobold, Tiefling, Reborn Lore: The traditional four classes and the Tolkien races were all but...

Also "they've made it easier to optimize your character" isn't a bad thing. Optimization being hard is why there can be such disparity between good and bad builds in some systems and why the difficulty curve of 3.X-based video games looks like it was plotted by the Tazmanian devil.

I think I'd be torn between "Time to take a photo of this statistical unlikely outcome for 4d6k3." and "Oh crap, this bodes poorly."

Good job passing the "tell me you haven't read the thread without telling me you haven't read the thread" challenge.

Am I the only one who prefers late tier 2/early tier 3? Some of the coolest encounters I've run were levels 9 to 12.

True, but we're talking about a CR 4 NPC whose stats resemble those of a level 10 PC martial (having 10 hit dice, two attacks, and 18 STR). Obviously, NPC and PC stats don't translate 1 to 1 but unless a creature has spell slots (which isn't really a thing in 5E since MPMM) then hit dice are...

It looks like the Guard Captain is a 10th level character judging by its hit dice. It's perfectly reasonable for a 10th level of any class to have an 18 in their primary attack stat.

The guard captain has STR 18, not 21.also it's CR4 not 10.
