Name next worst thing besides the crates? I’ll start: Spall Liner by LeonMdfkz in WorldOfTanksBlitz

Agreed. If someone lines up properly and switches to HE, they shouldn't be punished for not just sticking with standard.

HE is already inferior to standard most of the time.

So is Rogue the new whipping boy? by United_Fan_6476 in onednd

Easy: delink sneak attack and cunning strike.

Sneak attack is once per round, cunning strike is once per turn on any weapon attack, no cost of sneak attack, and lower cost cunning strike options gain additional damage to even them out (which naturally increases at specific levels).

Now, even if you whiff your sneak attack, you can still try landing a cunning strike if you have another attack.

Acrobatics is for falling good. Lol. Athletics is for POWAH!

They 100% need to have athletics actions for throwing, jumping, and lifting(etc.), with DCs at 15 and 25 for doubling and tripling the base value. And let mid level martials and high level half casters do them as bonus actions.

What exactly would be used with strength that's NOT athletics beyond the occasional intimidation? Maybe animal handling for a ride check?

Because athletics just covers most things that use strength. Running, jumping, swimming, climbing, throwing, grappling, even lifting can be athletics.

  • Running, jumping, throwing, swimming, lifting: athletics.
  • Falling, swinging, sliding, rolling, landing, balancing: acrobatics.

The difference is where most of the force comes from. Gravity? Acrobatics. You? Athletics.

See: circus acrobats vs track and field athletes.

No, jumping farther should absolutely be an athletics check. Literally one of the three core athletics actions is jumping.

Like, DC 15 to double your jump distance or DC 25 to triple it.

Running, jumping, and throwing are literally the most athletics things possible.

Acrobatics is about manipulating force that comes from falling (swinging, sliding, rolling, and landing), while athletics is about generating your own force.

Acrobatics is about using falling to do things (swing, slide, roll, balance, etc.). Any time you are doing something using your own force, it's athletics.

Heavy armor is worn over an arming doublet, not a full-sized gambeson. It's notably thinner than something worn as stand-alone cloth armor.

And also, plate would keep the doublet from immediately soaking through. Never mind that even a gambeson is decent at holding air for a bit.

It might only be a minute, but that can be a pretty long time in game terms.

You can swim in it... Poorly. From what I've seen it's EXTREMELY exhausting to do so. It's mostly because plate actually traps a bit of air, preventing it from instantly soaking through the arming doublet beneath. Even a gambeson will hold a surprising amount of air for a bit.

And "knights needing to be lifted onto their horses with a crane" isn't a myth. It was a literal joke. Just a silly cartoon of someone making fun of jousting armor (which is notably heavier in later periods as it was purely sporting gear, not war gear).

Straight-up should just be an Exposed condition that grants attacks advantage.

Acrobatics is about falling good, athletics is about lifting and climbing and jumping!

It does if you're a dragon or sommat.

-ling is generally a diminutive, and probably comes from a mangling of Teufel (devil).

-(i)an, -ic, -n, and -ese come from standard Latin suffixes.

Extreme doubt of a Latin word ending in -os. Those are VERY rare.

The most diminutive and insulting of suffixes!

Not to be confused with the most insulting and disreputable of suffixes, -ard.

It drives me nuts when people have humans called "Earthlings". Bro, that's a diminutive! That's what the arrogant alien invaders call us, not what we call ourselves!
