forgot to mention there's like 77 playable races and 30-something classes

Would you say you're high-functioning or low-functioning autistic?

>30 classes
Why not just go classless and be done with it?

Opposing sides add up to 7

>>46797223
opposite sides sum to 7.

choose an arbitrary side as the 6 (opposite is 1)

The choice for 5 (and thus 2) is similarly arbitrary due to radial symmetry

The first and only choice is whether to have 4-3, or 3-4, a choice no one would even notice, and it itself is a reflection.

it's a bit more complex on larger dice, because choices are non-trivial to distribute values evenly.

Opposing sides always add up to 7.

After that, there only ends up two orientations you can put the dice faces in. The two formats are called clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on how the 1-2-3 faces are oriented. The two are mirror-images of each other, and there are no other ways to orient the die while still following the first sentence.

Please elaborate or gtfo.

sounds mary Sue.

Why is he offended? Is it just obvious to everyone and he's resentful, or did someone point it out?

My current character is LE, but loyal to his allies. He considers them good friends. Hell he met his wife because of one of them.

>>46796680
Say no, obviously. Material wealth is pretty low on my character's list of priorities.

>>46796680
Nah. If we kill him, his riches will be ours anyway.

Consider the birds!

>>46796298

Consider the puppy!

Consider sudoku.

I'm disappointed that they went for a generic dungeon crawler, but I kinda love the minis.

>>46795250

>It's a shame other video game series don't release board game versions, I would love a bioshock or fallout board game.

Halo just released a 15mm wargame with some great minis. Spartan Games is handling it, so the rules will be pretty decent. They've also already got a fleet game out as well.

>>46795250
Me and a friend both want a copy, so I'm thinking of scraping together the extra $58 now, giving it all to my LGS in advance, and making a deal with them for 4 copies. (using their vendor licence)

>>46795240
Oh no, azhdarchid pterosaurs! Whether on land or in the sky, they're faster than you. Guess we can't run, just have to stand our ground and fight.

Does that mean I was the BBEG's ship? Or out of game the DM's been shipping the BBEG and me? Is the literal narrative vehicle ship a metaphor for the figurative narrative relationship shipping? Is this the DM's way of telling me something, or am I overanalyzing the situation and the DM's just shit and doesn't know what the fuck he's doing?

>The ship was inside you the entire time. The campaign just gave you the confidence you needed to believe in yourself.

They're still bad, just not as bad. Really, at this point, don't even worry about something being OP and instead try to look at tiers. Yes, a psion is weaker than a wizard. But they're still a few tiers higher than the rogue, so if somebody wants to play a martial in the group with a psion, he should play a martial of the same tier.

The psion power list is broad enough to replace wizards pretty easily, but you'll have to adjust for the lack of divine spells/casters.

Closest thing I have done is take out a list of spells and either removed them or made them rituals of some sort.

WAs a lot of work and was never satisfied with the results. Had to accept the fact to either ban some spells, classes or options , move on to another system or accept the janky mess and do the best a dm could do to mediate the disaster.

Are there any good story times of an all caster party? Or is it just s.s. nofun because casters can do anything they want anywhere at any time?

Why does radiation in sci-fi give you superpowers instead of cancer

Why does magic make your eyes glow

Why does a kingdom with a dragon problem build castles designed to only protect against grounded opponents

Why does OP make pointless threads instead of contributing to improving the board

What kind of newfag question is this?

A rhetorical question like all the other ones, dumbo.

Literally, why?

why yes, yes I have.

Flattery will get you everywhere.

It's possible that one or both of us might have died, but it's impossible to be sure, since we avoided the encounter.
We were a party of two, and it was my character's watch. The other party member was asleep.
During my watch I saw a troll begin to rise from the water.
Neither me nor my one fellow party member were capable of acid or fire damage at the time, so we would have had no way to cancel it's regeneration if we had fought it.
My character being so not okay with this shit, raised her finger to point at the troll, telling it, in a dismissive tone, "No."
My DM was so impressed by this unexpected reaction to the troll that he allowed me to make an intimidation roll, which I succeeded. The troll fled back into the water and didn't bother us anymore.

I would say that D&D (any edition) is on the extreme end of the power ramp up scale. IME most other game systems do not default to PCs gaining so much power (relative to their expected challenges) so quickly.

>>46793291
I know Birthright has some great stuff for when you get that far if you don't want to switch systems.

Other than that, the only system I've had that doesn't suffer from a power creep of epic proportions would be GURPS. There are def others, I just probably haven't played them. You get like 4-6 points a session and gaining skills and abilities requires in character work that justifies it.

This is more of a problem in D&D than in any other system. Most systems don't even use levels; levels are ubiquitous in video games, but pretty much obsolete for tabletop.

I'm running a D&D 5e game right now, and I've been having a lot of fun with it. It's definitely my favorite version of D&D. But I'm running into the same problem you are; the power ramp is too damn steep. I've got level 12 PCs; pretty much everything in the monster manual is either "trivial and tedious" or "lethal." It's not as bad as it was in 3.5, but I'm definitely switching the group to something non-D&D after this campaign.

>>46792797
It's a second chance, fresh slate, so yeah

Depends on how much my brain makeup/"soul" changes.

>>46792797
Of course not, if it was an accident it was a mistake, if I made a mistake I must correct it.

I'll just find a way to become the shota and find a group of women who think they're older than me.

Or I'll not be a faggot and just turn back to normal and take notes so I can throw grenades that turn my enemies into children so murdering them gets easier.
