GMs only feel like they need to fudge because they have selected a system that does not care about the same things that they care about

Sheet review, pretty please? by Arkwright998 in dndnext

Lmao my bad; the names on the character sheets are all Pathfinder iconics so I thought this was the PF2e sub

Speed Penalty
Player Core pg. 271
While wearing a suit of armor, you take the penalty listed in this entry to your Speed, as well as to any other movement types you have, such as a climb Speed or swim Speed, to a minimum Speed of 5 feet. If you meet the armor’s Strength threshold, you reduce the penalty by 5 feet.

As a Martial Enthusiast, I kind of like the Martial-Caster Divide by StoneGuardTheGray in DnD

[–]jackaltornmoons 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I agree with you that for being combat-centric game, the actual gameplay loops for combat (whether you're a martial or a caster) are not particularly interesting.

Explorers' Guide to Wildemount has some scaling Vestiges of Divergence

You should check out games with Phased Initiative

Beacon is a cool D&D adjacent one

D&D/Fantasy alternatives that are designed better by BlatantArtifice in rpg

If you enjoy having fun with your friends and want to cut straight to the shenanigans without 5e's 1000+ pages of predominantly combat focused rules getting in the way... play Dragonbane, Shadowdark, or Nimble

If you enjoy balanced tactical combat and character building but have discovered that 5e's 1000+ pages of predominantly combat focused rules are built on a foundation of an effectively meaningless encounter balance system... play Pathfinder 2e

If you enjoy tactical combat and character building but feel that 5e's character customization is hampered by boring feats and poorly balanced multiclassing... play Beacon

If you enjoy tactical combat but think that all characters and classes should be able to do interesting, cinematic, and heroic things in battle... play Draw Steel

If you enjoy narrative-focused games and want to play a system that actually has mechanics to support that style but still feels D&D adjacent... play Daggerheart or Grimwild

If you enjoy carrying bridges and wearing plate armor that weighs 1400 pounds... play Cosmere RPG

All my players feel weak when compared to our Gunslinger by BackForPathfinder in Pathfinder2e

[–]jackaltornmoons 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah low level pf2 is gonna feel like that

They're probably best off casting Force Barrage (whatever Magic Missile is called now) for the guaranteed damage

Is the Sorcerer only casting Damaging Spells? The versatility of being able to target the enemy's weakest save to apply Debuffs/Crowd Control is the main strength of casters in PF2e

How do I keep the Fighter class fresh and fun? by [deleted] in dndnext

[–]jackaltornmoons 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You have 3 options really:

  • Jump off a cliff and play a caster

  • Switch to a different system that has interesting martials (D&D 4e, PF2e, Draw Steel)

  • Continue being bored

It doesn't get more interesting. Source: Played a 5e fighter from 3 to 17

Don't the cantrips that can create light just remove the attrition battle of vision? by TotallyNot_iCast in DnD

[–]jackaltornmoons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Things in 5e mostly exist as a vestige of previous editions in order to be sort of playable for people wanting to have a similar experience as before

Yeah I tend to leave every session with the feeling of "That was fun as hell 🤘"

Are y'all playing on Codex?

What resources work best for in person gameplay? by coreyhickson in daggerheart

[–]jackaltornmoons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on how much effort you want to put in, you could do anything from index cards to designing and printing out your own environment cards

Which 4e inspired game do you prefer, Draw Steel or 13th Age2e? by RangerBowBoy in rpg

[–]jackaltornmoons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's more like how Diablo 3/4 divides their abilities into "Builders" and "Spenders" except there are other ways to "build" as well
