ranger is necessary because I said so. It is definitely more necessary than bard so till the bard is gone I'm not even talking about it...:geek:

We usually do 4d6 and you can reroll if you don't like em. But you can't go back. Not that being said If someone's stat's really suck I'll bump em up to par with other players. It's not fun to have unluck follow every move you make from day one.

I don't think they can. I try very hard when playing but that knowledge influences you on every level. It's why when I DM I like to change up monster descriptions do odd stuff like have a NPC leveled half ogre character leading the orcs, throw hybrid dragons at the part so when they plan...

vexxed to me seems like a mmo condition allowing warriors and Paladins to force enemies to them like tanking in WOW or final fantasy.

I've never seen a group of players stick with a game with a more powerful mentor in the group. It always turns into the high level guy is better at everything show and then crumbles to dust and a new system takes it's place. Doctor who is fun to watch not so much to play if you don't get to...

it is true there were downsides. But now we arguments over the downsides of making it simpler. and so the Wheel Turns.

Only think i've ever seen like that , was the damage types tables in 1st or 2nd edition. If you were stabbing a guy in chain mail you wanted piercing, if you were beating a guy in plate mail you wanted bludgeoning, ( i think). etc it had the affect you are going for but was more fiddly...

The relavance is people always think those in thier bubble in this case WOTC and the internet forums they think are important, are more important than they really are. Everyone always thinks what they see or what they hear is more important than it really is.

the way I handle that not being anal or OCD and often allowing things before I think it through is if necessary give the other players something to bring parity. God granted abilities, a relic, the right magic item etc. I try to keep all the players at a point that they can feel they are the...

who were free but couldn't get married, have kids? I think Jedi were far from Free. ;)

Yes but a lot of times for those of us who don't care it doesn't come up till a player pulls out a book and says "I like this better" then you house rule. nothing requires you to actually think about it first.

both parties in the US election require undecided voters in undecided states to win and they are both in the process of doubling down trying to make the screaming people on thier bases happy instead of pulling to the undecided centrists who will determine the election. Yes I do think they...

I like making spells like wish or clone, require mythical components.

deleted responded to wrong post.

a lot of it is always going to rely on context. I've been lucky enough to play some years long campaigns and run some years long campaigns. I"ve had months where I personally had non buy in, didn't like the story or any of the hooks and was just going along to let other party members get...

Though I'd prefer to let subclass wizards get more spells of their subclass and take away other higher level spells or even whole schools more like 2nd edition did. . You want to be a great divination wizard maybe all the spells from some other school aren't available. I'd make cantrips exempt...

I wouldn't have a problem with that as a table rule. seems reasonable.

captain kobold was the one that posted he thought mages should only get two a level then gamma doodler chimed in they can only cast that many anyway.... My argument was basically in agreement DM should be handing out spells as treasure.

it means you are a one trick pony with one set of spells and no flexibility. Played that way a Sorcerer will have more flexibility and utility if you are going to do that just remove the mage as an option and only allow sorcerer's. A mage is all about Utility. low spell choice makes you a...

too lenient? a mage with only two spells per level is miserable to play.
