It always boils down to this

  • She's supporting the Ukrainians tho.

    Are you actually saying that they did all this to themselves? That's what the Russian state has been saying without credible proof.

    Edit: I'd like to see where you got your info.

    • A Pathfinder 2e mechanic that I will henceforth always use in 5e

    Jump

  • While this is all well and good, I think the OneD&D playtest provided a great fix on the biggest issue I've had with the mechanic: Remembering it exists.

    Simply stating that on an unmodified 20 or 1 that Inspiration is granted is a fantastic way to remind the GM that they should give this out more often. It's gotten to the point that in cases where I would have previously given ad-hoc advantage, I now give inspiration where the player can make use of it if they feel like they want or not.

    Also I have adopted those rules for both hero points in PF2e, and my regular D&D5e game. I mean both of them.

    How it works....

    A player rolls a Natural 1 - They get inspiration to use on a future roll. A player rolls a Natural 20 - They choose another player at the table who gets inspiration.

    These two together more or less ensures that there's an amount of inspiration floating around all the time. But this also solves an issue where a hot-streak gets hotter, and someone with luck early on will get more of a spotlight later. By making success something that gives a boon to someone else, you build espirt de corps as everyone celebrates eachothers' successes more, and the spotlight be more likely to move to another player.

    As I said before, this system works fantastic in both Pathfinder and D&D. The only downside is that it feels like PCs have an extra layer of plot armor, but that is mitigated by the fact that it wasn't my decision that I made capriciously. Also it makes math rocks a little more 'WEEE'!

    • Ancients Paladin -7th Lvl Feature Issue

    Jump

  • I think this mismatch will likely be fixed in OneD&D, as the Ancients Paladin is revised to have a more broadly applicable feature.

    My suggested fix would be to make it resistance to all the common draconic damage types. Fire, Cold, Lightning, Poison, and Acid.
