    (IC) Quickleaf's Rime of the Frostmaiden

    GM POST Lumrolur, creeps forward with his crossbow, to attack one of the zombies while hidden. Regardless whether this hits or misses, the twang of the string and clatter of the bolt is sure to attract their attention! As soon as he retreats back, Aric's bonfire springs to life in the center...

    [OOC] Quickleaf's Rime of the Frostmaiden [closed for now]

    Gotcha, no worries. I have that mobile typing issue all the time. Big fingers. I'll post in the IC now – even though not everyone had a chance to chime in, I'll interpolate your intent as best I can – just to keep us moving and not get bogged down.

    What makes something "classic feel with modern design"?

    My mind was blown when I heard two players discuss 3rd edition mechanics like prestige classes as "classic." So I agree that it's a very personal question that is a moving target. What makes something "classic feel with modern design"? Answering your question focused on design – as opposed to...

    D&D 5E Homebrew: Fighter hacking notes

    Could be that it's just easier. Or could be PF2 players (if that's a distinct subset from D&D players) have a higher appetite for mechanical complexity? Thanks Cap'n! Yeah, there's a couple new fighting styles – Versatile, First Blood, Quickdraw – that need improvement. Bulwark has been a...

    Oh, no, no, they are milling about in one area and haven’t noticed your party yet

    [OOC] Quickleaf's Rime of the Frostmaiden [closed for now]

    Ah, so it sounds like you're saying someone else will go lure the zombies back to where Lumrolur and company are hiding? Could I get clarification on who is volunteering to advance forward and act as the lure?

    D&D 5E Homebrew: Fighter hacking notes

    I really love the elegance of the +/-5, at least in concept, and even have my own fantasy heartbreaker built around it. But I've really struggled getting it to work in my D&D games. My players usually don't keep track of monster AC, even when I try different tricks to display it, it just slips...

    D&D 5E Homebrew: Fighter hacking notes

    I would not use 2024 weapon masteries with this - they’re designed to INCREASE rolls with greater complexity, while my design is to reduce rolls and maintain complexity roughly the same level. Edit: I am also still ironing out interactions with Battle Master maneuvers. Weapon Expertise is one...

    D&D 5E Homebrew: Fighter hacking notes

    Hey Dave ☺️ Yes, that's my intent, though I think my hack may be more in line with the power upgrade across the 2024 classes, which - as best I can tell from playtests - are very roughly ~1 level higher in power from 2014 versions.

    D&D 5E Homebrew: Fighter hacking notes

    I've been hacking the fighter class for a...uh...a while, and have a rough draft I'm starting to playtest. I welcome specific feedback on my take – but, knowing that can feel a bit tedious – I also invite general thoughts about goals/reasons for hacking the fighter, criticisms, or your own...

    [OOC] Quickleaf's Rime of the Frostmaiden [closed for now]

    I'm a little confused on the party's strategy, and could use clarification. It sounds like @Neurotic (Lumrolur) and @Necropolitan (Zeth) have rolled Stealth checks to ambush the zombies (i.e. ambush meaning to strike first)... But then Lumrolur is describing a "lure them & hold the line and...

    D&D 5E Bigger monsters do more damage

    One fun way of implementing your idea is adding a large forced movement effect with additional 1d6 damage per 10 feet pushed (where you have Large push 10 feet, Huge push 20 feet, Gargantuan push 40 feet, or something like that). For example: Make a DC 22 Strength save vs. adult red dragon's...

    [OOC] Quickleaf's Rime of the Frostmaiden [closed for now]

    Ok! I'll give other folks a couple days to chime in. If I don't hear otherwise by Friday night/Saturday morning (Pacific Time) – depends on how beat I am Friday – I'll assume you're doing the "lure them in, burn the zombies, hold the line" tactic, and post my post.
