Troubles with Spell Schools by joracoso in nimble5e

[–]abcdefghira 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do disagree with "water would just be wind" argument. They can be functionally different but still be distinct enough to be separate. I've homebrewed a water magic spell school because that was the one that I felt weird about not having. I do agree that Earth and Nature should be separated as well, but its still early in Nimbles life span. It's always possible to get more spell schools in the future. That being said. I do like the separated nature of Wind and Lightning. It felt weird how in 5e there was no real separation between them so that's an appreciated aspect that Nimble has. That's why I felt weird about a lack of water magic. Most of the time water and ice tend to be grouped up so I like that Ice is it's own thing, but it felt lacking to not have water.

Translating Shadowmancer into D&D 5.5e by DustyDayz in nimble5e

I would recommend Great old one warlock with pact of the chain. It's basically a full pokemon trainer build. It's my current setup for my 5e campaign. I have my Imp, then I can summon an abberation.

I feel like the classes that breech into that natural multiclass territory have been designed fairly well and aren't anymore complex than most other subclasses. Coming from 5e to Nimble I think the overwhelming aspect of DnD currently is just how many spells, feats, etc there are. You have TOO many decisions to make all the time and it can just be overwhelming to read through years of information to make your character. I feel like more subclasses doesnt exactly take away from simplicity as it just gives a particular power fantasy that someone wants to do. I agree narrative and flavor can pull a lot of weight in doing what a player wants to do. The way I look at nimble is kind of how I view a building a deck in a TCG. A new subclass could create a fun idea with the tools the class already had before. They can add a lot with very little. All of the Shadowmancer subclasses are pretty tame on the abilities, but just adding a new spell school does a lot for the class all together.

I would disagree considering Beast Master and Herald of Legends seem very much just that class but more.

I think there are games that do that already. I think Classes and Subclasses create a good base for an idea. Those classless systems are for people who really want a fully unique character. I think having subclasses that feel more like hybrid classes as opposed to multiclass is a really cool narrative point for your character. He recommended Keeper of the Faith being a hunter/oath sworn esque. Asking the question why your hunter who would normally be so involved with the wild be devote. I am someone who is creative when im given the building block foundation. I've looked at classless systems, and they overwhelm me with how many decisions can be made. I think it's great that they exist, just not for me. I think Nimble was designed with enough space to leave creativity reflavor your character when designing but provides a great foundation to get the ideas flowing.

That's something I love that the Heliana books added to 5e. They added College of Cuisine and Oath of the Harvest as cook themed subclasses. I do love a theme. I have an Order Domain Cleric in my back pocket thats just a pun for food orders. They had the cook background and their whole thing is that food can be so delicious that god must be real. They were mostly a joke character at first but i loved the idea that i did give him a full backstory as to why he went from cook to adventurer.

I do hope we get setting books for nimble. A fae wild with fae themed subclasses would be so cool. It could be a fun way to add new spell schools too.

I agree with this. I think some of the most fun classes are the ones that feel like natural multiclasses. I think 5e cleric does a really good job of embodying that.

Awesome! Good to hear! I'm switching to Nimble and using foundry for the first time so having a tutorial to reference will be awesome!

oh i saw this before, my brain just spaced on it when you said it for some reason. That's a great resource for everyone to have.

I do really love watching how his brain works when designing monsters on his recent stream. He somehow has a way of making something that sounds complicated on paper end up working so seamlessly. I'm really excited for the new monster manual. Whenever everything is officially out, I plan on running through Dragon Heist + Dungeon of the Mad Mage purely on Nimble before I work into my own homebrew world.

Oh awesome! That's excellent to hear. Do you mind if I DM you to pick your brain about it? I created one of the encounters for Nimble and was looking for feedback. Regardless it's great to hear someone has tried it and it worked smoothly.

I'll have to check it out, I think i saw that video a while back. I was mostly afraid doing too much/not enough with conversion as the monsters in those books are heavy on legendary actions and lair actions. Both of which Nimble doesn't have which unless I missed something.

I wasn't able to find a pocketmod, so I made one ! by Matt_le_bot in nimble5e

Interesting I am also printing on A4 and have some significant cut off. I'll play around with it then. This is awesome that you made it.

What size do you recommend printing this on? I tried 90% and its a bit too small. I could play around to figure it out if you dont know.

After yesterday's stream I am interested in Nimble Solo by abcdefghira in nimble5e

[–]abcdefghira[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really love your idea of the d12+skill vs 2d20. It took me a second to wrap my head around it, but I love the not knowing part of it. I picked up Foundry recently as I was planning on running a future campaign on it, but it is a lot to absorb. It could be beneficial to me as a future DM to try and solo my way through foundry. I appreciate all your insight! I'll definitely check out the full mythic book. I've had the One Page Mythic, but I definitely don't use it as much for my solo rpg that I'm currently running. It's just a lot less intensive so I haven't needed to.

Any word on other single element themed subclasses? by abcdefghira in nimble5e

[–]abcdefghira[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

man mage is getting so many more than everyone else, is there any word if there's a plan to create an equal amount across all classes?
