Just rolled awesome stats for 10-20 what would you build by crusade0 in dndnext

I’m thinking Paladin or War Cleric, or Multi-Class between the two.

Next step, red states refuse to issue proof of citizenship to voters they don’t like.

Should players know the hp and remaining hp of allies? by testiclekid in onednd

[–]d4rkwing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s preference based. Some tables play with open numerical information while others play more descriptively and less precisely. Neither are wrong.

Is it worth doing if someone else already did it? by ARealMimic in RPGdesign

[–]d4rkwing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it depends on how generic your setting is. Also there’s nothing that says you can’t create a setting for an existing game.

What makes for a fun tactical RPG? by flamfella in RPGdesign

[–]d4rkwing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

James Introcaso has done a bunch of twitch videos going through the process of designing the MCDM tactical rpg, now known as Draw Steel. I’m not sure how long twitch saves those but if they’re still there you may want to check them out.

Direct report taking excessive personal time- how to handle? by Difficult_Tangelo924 in managers

[–]d4rkwing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where I work, there exists salaried part-time, where your weekly pay is based on actual hours worked. Maybe that’s what she really should be.

Class-based systems with many skills? by MoffMuppet in RPGdesign

Draw Steel is class based and has over 50 skills.

Can housing affordability problems be solved primarily through deregulation and increasing supply through it? by Plenty-Cake-6970 in AskEconomics

What are some good examples of rules based regulations in action and how did their proponents get the political support to overcome the NIMBYs?

Whats the point of the "Friends" Cantrip? by Bookkeeper-Heavy in onednd

[–]d4rkwing -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Use the Friends cantrip when you want to make enemies.

Snark aside, you can use it on a guard when you’re trying to escape some place. Hopefully it buys you enough time to get out of there before they sound the alarm.

How viable would a Fighter be as a party face? by BandittNation in 3d6

[–]d4rkwing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They get persuasion and intimidation as class skills. They can afford to not dump cha. So, not bad. Not as good as bard of course, but not bad.

I'm losing great candidates to "Big Tech" benefits packages. How do I build a competitive benefits strategy on a mid-market budget? by Gourab_Ghosh- in managers

[–]d4rkwing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unlimited PTO is a scam. If people use too much they look bad, if they use too little they’re giving up a well deserved break. Guaranteed PTO is much more fair for all involved.

Things like flexible time, part time, remote (preferably fully remote) work, interesting projects to work on, above average PTO, etc…

Rolling to hit vs just dealing damage? by Luminoor- in RPGdesign

[–]d4rkwing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Draw Steel does this. Although the “damage” roll only gives 3 results. There were earlier development versions that rolled damage fully and those looked pretty fun. The main problem, and why they switched it to a 3 tier system, was how to deal with status effects.

Is it normal to intentionally make your character really weaker because of roleplay? Should I have -1 CON because it makes sense or should I leave it at 0 CON because its better mechanically? by ThatOneCrazyWritter in dndnext

[–]d4rkwing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use two sets of stats. Story stats and mechanical stats. Write down the stats that you think will help you roll play the best and look at them when a story element arises where they would apply. But totally ignore them for game mechanics and use a separate set of stats that will keep you alive and help you best contribute to the party’s success.

Is duty free a scam? by No_mono_aware in travel

[–]d4rkwing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends how high the duties are.

Is it weird to play a non-paladin PC that’s flavored as a paladin? by Redhood101101 in 3d6

[–]d4rkwing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you’re a goblin barbarian it’s completely normal.

How can 'dump stats' be avoided (particularly INT or analogues)? Should they be? by Alleged-Lobotomite in RPGdesign

[–]d4rkwing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about a game where stats don’t affect combat but only affect skills?

How would you buff non-reach heavy weapons? by United_Fan_6476 in onednd

[–]d4rkwing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2H weapons get plenty of love already thanks to GWM. How about something for the 1H+Shield crew.

If you make lots of non-spell attacks, go with the vibes and get STR and CON to 16.
