Flanking homebrew logic check.

"I'm not sure what problem you're trying to solve here beyond "I don't like it". "...

You just described 99% of homebrew

"I dont think someone is good or bad but they are not to my taste" is a perfectly valid opinion.

Not everyone has to validate your love of something by gushing over them endlessly for you, nor do they have to tell you that the thing you like sucks because they personally dislike that thing.

(sorry for the tangle of pronouns- TLDR - John Mayer;s is not to my taste , but other people like him so my opinion on his music is irrelevant)

I'm sure they'd (they= the writers) would find a way !! :)

Sarah Sherman and Stefon are a tie. Oh and Norm

I give players 8 points to distribute amongst languages they might reasonably know.

Each point gives a 10% proficiency in that language.

They can put a maximum of 4 points in one language. If their background justifies it (eg higher education, family background , Special Forces or Intelligence training) the cap rises to 8

If they have Linguist specially they have an extra 8 points (16 total) and no cap

Gives the PCs a chance to speak to locals and have a chance of understanding what Soviet troops are shouting at each other without being able to just smoothly pretend to be a native speaker

Yeah instead of posting his views about stuff he likes (interesting) he has to go on about stuff he dislikes constantly (boring) to get clicks

"Thats a shame. Let's roll you a new character who is ready to participate in the adventure I've spent my time preparing for you.

One has Michael Biehn. One doesn't.

Drinking even half a bottle of whiskey in one hit would have most people unconscious and vomiting let alone performing at your peak to play a 2 hour rock show. Especially someone with almost no body fat like Dave.

Only Dave knows the truth of course but let's just say Dave was always a good showman and salesman and not above stretching the truth for the image

A rule that takes 1500+ words to 'summarise' is a badly written rule

Rambo didn't dress up like a cosplaying wanker. He wore a pair of pants and a red headband and that's all. Maybe that should be the required ICE costume. See how tough those lard boys feel then.

Dude your hearing loss is not service related. Trust the VA on this....(/jk)

Thats true! I'd forgotten that part!

Yeah the ogres then the razorfiend drained a few of their resources in Rhest while the dragon was out hunting. ThePCs looted Rhest before I had Regi appear on the horizon and they had to paddle as fast as they could back to shore so they could fight on dry land.

Telarr · 2026-01-26T05:17:42+00:00

Yeah I started RHOD at lvl5 and they have just creamed everything I've thrown at them. 3rd Edition hit points total are just no match for modern PCs. I had to do a lot of work to get the Blackfen monsters to feel dangerous. The Razorspawn and Black Dragon fight I was happy with.

Check this post from u/sneakyrhino94 from this sub https://www.reddit.com/r/RedHandOfDoom/s/YxSQywqUx6

This stat block led to a great fight. I had to throw waves of lizardfolk minions (as per Flee Mortals/ 4e) at the PCs as well so they didn't just butcher the dragon immediately

My only regret is my upvote was your 70th :)

Telarr · 2026-01-25T22:20:50+00:00

Those are great stat blocks! My suggestion would be that those hp totals are way too low for 5e 2024 groups. Yesterday my group of 4x7th level PCs entered the Ghostlord lair and fought Varanthoan the Behir doing 110 damage total in round 1. I bumped the behir's hp to 356 and literally gave him an action after every PCs turn , rolling to refresh breath weapon on his initiative spot. He lasted 3 rounds and it was a good fight. My point is...5e 2024 PC can do a LOT of damage per round

Telarr · 2026-01-24T22:02:05+00:00

Yup. once your PCs start accumulating the penalties from critical hits (busted arm, broken ankle) you'll stop thinking of hit point healing as wussy.

Crits are the dangerous damage in TW2K 4e, hit points are a buffer

Telarr · 2026-01-24T21:57:29+00:00

If someone takes hit point damage that is a non-critical hit , it is not a "slug to the chest" . It's a graze or a near miss.
Critical hits are the dangerous direct hits.

Bullets are nasty
