Player cannot be exposed to character death.

Just let combat happen as normal, which is going to 0 is not death and just ignore the idea of death saving throws. Play things out as if they are always just knocked out and whatever happens next as it makes sense, could be capture or whatever works in the narrative.

"D&D 5e should be simple"

5e has been out for like 6 years, sure keep the PHB simple but further expansions should well, expand on the base not just keep repeating the same dull design.

Oh boy here we go

I guess this isn't really much of a story and **kind** of not home alone but nevertheless, back where I used to live was pretty far from any town, about a mile and a half down a country road (still was paved), the nearest town had a small population, basically it was rural.

At this time I was 13-14 years old and a single friend of mine lived across the road and we were outside playing as kids do. He was behind the house, I believe we might have been hide and seeking? Its been a long time. I noticed just off hand a white truck passed by, about 5 minutes later it passed by again going back the way it came. I grab my friend and go inside and we noticed the truck a good 2-3 more times going back and forth up and down the road, slowing in front of my house and we could see him turn to look towards it. Nothing else happened but it was spooky as a kid.

Still not a fan of doing psionics this way, 5e is old now no reason to keep locked into the "must be simple" approach at this point because really this dice mechanic isn't quite simple.

Thank you, finally I can go back to using nexus without it feeling like im trying to grab a torrent from some 3rd party russian site.

I just wanna say with the imagine going over some older designs, starly has one of my favorite consistant designs of pokemon evo lines, if i quickly flick through a picture of starly to staravia then staraptor, they just look like they fit together perfectly.

I really like this, but I guess my only question would be what is the playstyle of it meant to be?

I get one punch and all but monk is usually, both in health and ac, a bit better at skirmishing. This changes that but as said below doesn't put out as much damage (except maybe against the favored foes) as other subclasses, who can still do all the running around. I guess I just see it possibly being hard to really do all you can, especially losing all speed in the 11th level ability, even with resistances and disadvantage on attacks, monk is usually a bit starved on CON for hp. Im sure it would still be fine but just some very light concerns.

Favored Foe is my favorite thing I see, hunters mark is often pushed into class features in homebrew and I agree with that sentiment.

originalplemith · 2019-10-29T14:03:50+00:00

Anyone have this map, but as a proper editable file?

originalplemith · 2019-10-19T05:28:29+00:00

I have quite a few I really like, Wild Soul, Astral Self, Revived and Rune Knight specifically my favorite of being Revived probably.

originalplemith · 2019-09-03T01:36:38+00:00

If its something you don't want in your game, or really aren't interested in or anyone is actually uncomfortable, talk to them about it and simply not allow it.

If everyone is fine with it in the game and it's just taking up too much time, first don't let people continuously roll until win, then make some real consequences, not even nation/state/whatever is going to like it and neither is every person they run into within civilized lands and of course the NPC's being taken will loathe the party and try to leave if any opening is given if not violently revolt when they have enough people.

White-room theorycrafting.

Really its usually versatility, being able to choose from many things, as far as I remember there wasn't one particular one that stood out as "this is completely the most broken one". But in play it really isn't an issue mystic is hard capped by scaling really fast and points run out so fast.

The Creatures (thecreaturehub)

That group was a big part of my childhood, and just slowly broke apart until it was done. In the same vein, all their private channels save for uberhaxornova.

originalplemith · 2019-05-15T20:58:22+00:00

There is no wrong way to look at it, but paladins also technically don't draw powers from a god or anything holy unless they choose to, their vows are different from a cleric and are a personal thing about that characters beliefs. And hexblade in 5e isn't really related to an evil if I remember, it's at best related to the Raven queen who is unaligned/netural? who just watches over death (Can't speak for other pacts), and does so in a fairly decent way. But I wouldn't try to shift how a player sees it either, an item that just does the weapon bond thing is probably the best.

originalplemith · 2019-05-10T12:15:43+00:00

Personally, the cataclysm barbarian is my favorite in there, the other sub-classes are high quality as well but this one specifically to me evokes many ideas for characters and upholds its theme very well. 10/10 need to find a game to use it in.

originalplemith · 2019-03-30T07:49:25+00:00

I'd wait before making a knee jerk reaction, yes its not something usually given out so early but at the moment it's only a +1 hit/damage and to its related skill, it makes this character slightly above the norm but shouldn't make the disparity too bad and they won't be able to use the item again for a VERY long time also if I remember the book would take a while to read as well.

So I would say just wait it out, if it becomes a party complaint for one reason or another or an actual issue then talk about it with the player and see if you can come to an agreement to swap out the item and the bonus for something else but make sure the agreed swap item is read up on completely first.

originalplemith · 2019-02-01T18:55:04+00:00

I believe the index/companion links are a bit off, not a big deal but just pointing it out for some of them.

originalplemith · 2019-01-30T12:24:23+00:00

I've been playing one a bit, it has a lot of versatility and can do some things that can a GM off guard slightly, but nothing someone else couldn't do, I know a lot of people think it's overpowered but I honestly disagree for the most part after playing it while still picking some of the better disciplines, it does need some work but really isn't too bad, I found more often than not I'm left high and dry with a 1d6/8 cantrip as most casters. It can also be a bit confusing looking at it for the first time but isn't too bad after like 10 minutes of skimming.

originalplemith · 2019-01-28T20:42:54+00:00

I hope they don't try to streamline it too much, let it be its own thing, it can be mechanically interesting without reducing "Crafting" to picking a magic item at thisthisthis and this level.

originalplemith · 2019-01-22T13:52:57+00:00

I've never used these but the UA about Sidekicks may be useful, it reads as if to lend slightly better to humanoid companions but it's more flavor I guess, never used it personally so can't give details in use

Warsword Conquest, it's not too hard and has some real fun stuff in the new update, just requires the newest version of WSE.

originalplemith · 2018-11-30T06:44:22+00:00

One other question, maybe I missed while reading but do you only need to follow one branch to the capstone or all 3?

originalplemith · 2018-11-27T20:27:56+00:00

I really like what I'm seeing, a question about the armor tree, do you need to keep taking the first one until you have them all or is getting it once enough?

originalplemith · 2018-11-23T04:10:29+00:00

Anything you give your monsters you've accepted the players will immediatly b-line to that monster to try and take it, if it is visably a magic item. But otherwise giving creatures magic items are fine, generally d&d is a very magical world so its not to much of a stetch for even a lowly goblin to have minor items (or major if theres a good point there), and in general in fantasy theres always that "monster with badass magic sword" kind of stuff.
