This would have been avoided if the painting had been generated by AI

Just surfing the inclusion wave.

Mechanics should support roleplay, not the opposite. This suggestion forces a change in the dynamics of the storytelling.

This is a really good idea. Have you implemented?

Made my point on How would I nerf the Wizard. Not gonna spend more time on Why would I nerf the Wizard. There's a lot of threads on this matter and I'm here to get some good ideas on How to nerf the Wizard. Have already seen some really good ones.

Did it. Not everything, but for spellcasting (except cantrip). Then it is possible to interrupt a spell being cast. You can still cast cantrips while concentrating. The goal is to make spellcasting interruptable. Other suggestions, like increase casting time, need a lot of changes and/or more...

Well, some of these I also applied in my homebrew. You would be surprised by the strength of the argument "if you don't like these changes maybe it's your turn to be the DM". :LOL:

Cantrips not scaling. Wizard HD d4. Learning 1.5 spell per level (1 in odd levels, 2 in even levels). No Arcane Recovery. Casting spells with somatic component triggers AoO (except cantrips). Casting a spell requires concentration (except cantrips). Subclasses have 2 prohibited spell schools...

That's because it is the tittle of this thread.

Good point, but what if the Thief has low Int? Would you allow it, require a test or just say the character is not clever enough to come up with this solution?

Maybe, just for curiosity, you should read 4e books. No need to learn the system, to play or even to create a character, just to see a different approach on how rules were writen. The 4e, besides all controversy, did a great job on the way the system mechanics were writen to avoid...

It's not necessary to try to cover everything (it's impossible), but what they cover should have cohesion. They tried to make a simple system but instead of understanding simple as the opposite of complex, they understood simple as simpleton. Some rules are still complex but described with a...

Not just lazy, it is broken. Just to give a simple example: Absorb elements. First sentence states you store the energy for your next melee attack, but third sentence states the bonus from that stored energy is used only on your next turn. What happens if you walk through a bonfire? Do you have...

I made my own version of the PHB with all the changes needed to fix this systemic problem, but its a neverending work. After reading the answers here I made a lot of changes into it. After literally years working on it, the changes I made were directed toward: 1-removing auto-success or...

I strongly agree with you IF you are talking about 5e, but the OP is not only about 5e (or the author forgot to state it). 4e for example supports tatical style of play.

It seems completely illogical to me the wizard being able to be the best in spellcasting and the fighter not being able to be the best in fighting. Next step is the Cleric not being able to be the best in healing and rogue not being able to be the best in stealth, because the wizard can't feel...

A lot of discussion regarding fighters and spellcasters and I just would like to point it is frustrating to play high level martials in 5e. I like to play non-spellcasting fighters and barbarians and the moment when they should excel, which is in combat, they are shadowed by the spellcasters...

1-Consistent description, using keywords, frames, structure, avoiding misinterpretations 2-Class balance 3-Options and customization 4-The way they made different attributes relevant, like Wisdom for Fighter or Strength for Sorcerer. 5-Swordmage 6-Three saves 7-Bloodied condition 8-Paragon paths

For me, if it is compatible it is not a new version. That's my understanding regarding version, be it a software, a system, a document or anything that can have new iterations. One D&D is not a major change since it does not break compatibility, and it is not just a patch that fixes some bugs or...

Are they available somewhere? Could you share? I'm always interested in tweaking the system and creating new ones.
