Vexed might be a better word, and maybe this is just an American thing, but the word “vexed” to me describes how you feel when stuck on a hard sudoku puzzle.

Infuriated sounds way closer to rage-filled than annoyed to me

Oh, it’s two parts. 1. You can’t use skill or tool proficiencies. - I would rephrase this to “you can’t add your proficiency bonus to skill or tool checks.” 2. You can’t speak languages you’re not proficient in. - This is basically the case anyway? You could make a check to try to get around...

What does this mean? Can you give me an example? I’m more confused now.

I agree with the earlier comment that it would seem as though an Agonized creature should have trouble with mental ability checks, even more so than physical ones, going by flavor alone. But also, if the condition was "Mental Ability Check Penalty" + "Concentration Penalty," you might as well...

If I want to introduce these into my game, I (as a GM) want to know whether or not it makes sense for a given monster (written before that condition entered the game) should immune to a given condition. Can a vengeful ghost be made placid? Can an intellect devourer be forgetful? You could wing...

I think a big question here is backwards compatibility. E.g. Fixated works because a creature immune to being charmed is immune to being fixated, so I already know which monsters should be immune to it. How would GMs know where to apply condition immunities using these?

This is fair feedback. Would “No more than one nested table per result?” be a decent policy?

I'm considering making an A5e Wild Magic Table worthy of the name. (The existing one in T&T is only 1d10.) I have a few ideas for how to improve on the O5e version that comes with the Wild Magic Sorcerer, but I want to get the community's input. Basic ideas: Nested Randomness. You don't...

You should check out the Esper in Paranormal Power, the Marshal in Level Up, and the Wielder in Manual of Adventurous Resources: Complete. I specifically love how the last one solves the flavor issue so many gish have; the class has a strong narrative thread as opposed to just being a more...

Level Up remade the 13 official WotC classes, and officially added the Marshal and Savant. The 3PP community for A5e added the Scholar, Witch, Esper, Wielder, and Elementalist. There are five more classes coming in the sci-fi expansion.
