I’m into more listening to game. I’ve never actually laid one. Wouldn’t what you’re describing be pretty pointless. Like super inflation. Okay you’re a millionaire but bread is 1000 so does it really matter? A game where every character is doing 1500… how is that different from every character doing 15 damage gameplay wise? You can add as many zeros as you want but if we all have those extra zeros isn’t it essentially the same?

Nope, it was based on one of the, I think, 3.5 one shots?

If you're playing d&d for the combat alone, you're doing it wrong

But I worked so hard on writing up the flatumancer subclass!

If you're playing D&D for not-the-combat you're doing it wrong, basically every other RPG system handles that better

Somewhat similarly, as a character with a good variety of options available in combat, I worry somewhat about the Ranger and Warlock whose turns are pretty much always "I shoot the [x]", but everyone seems to be having a good time so I guess combat gameplay isn't really their bag, idk.

Someone found the middle ground between the extremes

It is a very strong class when you have a fire mage in your team

Genuine GenV character

If anyone wants to do a dr. Farts style campaign let me know. I would love to ref a zany to the max campaign. Be warned that dr. Farts may have to contend with the likes of Detective Vague.

I’m sworn to carry your burdens

MFW ex quipped that out in *that* moment when my mind was fumbling to think of complex math problems, baseball commentary, "Margaret Thatcher on a cold day", etc. *for their benefit*. Oh, the sparkle in their eyes was certainly telling, but I'm not sure if they expected it to work *quite* so well, or so immediately. FAFO, I guess?

My dm never let me play as a terrasque

Dear DMs: if you take yourself too seriously, I will murder you.

I've had a lot of DND players, often people that exclusively play DND, tell me they like it that way. They like that there's basically no rules for conflict outside of combat. "Just talk it out" and "we're here to *role play* stop looking at your sheet". Personally, not my taste. If we're just going to "talk it out" I feel like we should write a book instead. That or actually rip out the stunted social rules in DND. That would help the annoying thing where the real life Sales Guy brings his whole personality into his 8 Cha Fighter. But I also think a lot of those people have never really played anything else, and like dnd's "barely any rules" better than whatever fantasy they're imagining. I like that games with working social rules can let someone who's shy or quiet play someone socially powerful, just like a physically weak person can play a strong barbarian.

Rogue is worse. I played a rogue for a while and it didn't really deliver a great experience. Every combat was "I shoot, move, cunning action hide". Scouting was largely outclassed by the wizard's familiar, and even more so the pact of the chain familiar. Splitting the party is tedious and risky. One GM tried to make a system to abstract scouting- you'd make some checks and get information and maybe trouble. But that guy liked PbtA way more than me, and it clearly influenced his design, because pretty much every time you used this system something bad would happen. I don't play these games to be a fuck up. I want to be exceedingly competent in my niche. I guess some of that is up to individual GM style, but I think some of it is on the system itself.

What are you going to do, fart on them?

I would let you, but only as a lawful good peace cleric

Suggestion can be twinned if need be

The people who want to do 1500 dmg/turn probably want to be playing 3.5
