Why bell curve dice probabilities?
If you want to make modifiers matter more, use a flat probability and use larger modifiers.
Bell curves make judging the value of a modifier more difficult, which makes designing game elements that grant modifiers more difficult, and which also makes assigning conditional modifiers mid-game a much more ambiguous and fiddly process.
Has anyone considered a 1d12+modifiers system in place of 2d6+modifiers?

Modifiers on bell curves are just shift-right shift-left no?

So Im running a 5E campaign and about to introduce a new group, The Sunfire Knights. An order of Paladins, Fighters and just about anyone who wants to take the fight to the undead and dark powers. I have most of the ranking done on the knights except for the 4 general type figures and their leader. I was thinking Archon but that sounds way to angelic to me. I just need a title/rank befiting the theme that is the Sunfire Knights.

The Knights believe that all arcane magic is inherently evil, with warlocks, necromancers and cultists being the worse. They go around cataloging mages in their lands and they regularly cremate their dead and exhume the dead in conquered lands, and cremate them to prevent necromantic tampering.

>>44050247
Candle's Thrush: A title for the newly initiated. One who has sworn their vows, and begun the training required to become a Sunfire Knight.
Morning's Robin: A title for knights who have completed their training, and are now fully initiated into the order. These are knights whom have yet to actually defend their vows -- they have the skills necessary to do so, but have not been sent to quell any threat.
Noon's Falcon: A senior knight, whom has always been sent on at least one deployment to obtain this rank. Often times, knights choose to retire/exit the order at this rank.
Sun's Eagle: Similar to staff ncos of American military, those who choose to obtain this rank are placed in high-leadership positions. Oftentimes, an Eagle controls a group of at least Robins, and many are assigned to train Thrushes into Robins.
I hope some of this jives with you OP. I thought using birds as symbols would be cool. The head knight or whatever could be called the Phoenix or something as well, I suppose.

Phoenix is a perfect fit.

Hey /tg/,
I'd like to try a class paradigm in D&D where clerics represent more the robed miracle worker, less holy warrior, at least cosmetically. For 5e, considering simply creating a variant that does away with armour proficencies, and instead, adds Wis modifier as a divine magic armour (call it Holy Protection or something like that) to AC, in the same a monk does.
Domains that grant armour proficencies, instead grant an additional armour bonus. Thoughts?

Boring, because at the end of the day it doesn't really change anything besides saying "but I'm not ACTUALLY wearing armor!" I can already describe away the armor as being divine protection, there doesn't need to be an additional rule about it. It's not an interesting decision to make, mechanically. Give them an actually interesting offset for being armorless.
>>
>>44050531
>I can already describe away the armor as being divine protection
Not by RAW. Armor matters a lot. It has weight, Strength prerequisites, proficiencies, can't sleep in it, gets affected by metal-affecting spells, etc.
>>
>>44050531
Its not meant to entertain (though maybe it should). The decision is mainly because I'd just like to just run a setting for once where priestly healers aren't armoured. Perhaps they can discharge the magic bonus for additional spell(s), and don't get it back until a short rest has been completed, something like that.

One day, a few months after you've heard that the army was marching with tens of thousands of warriors, knights and dragon riders through you get an unexpected visit. A bunch strange self propelled vehicles, out of which come a dozen strange fellows in green clothes and armor carrying odd things. Both the vehicles and the clothes people have a red circle for their insignia. They seem friendly even if they don't know more than a few words of your language.
What do you do?

Rolled 6 (1d6)
It is planting season, and the farmers of the colony sew their first crop into virgin soil. Newly cleared roads see their first trampling by the hoofed feet of cows following owners to market.
It has been eight months since man first set foot in these lands, by your best records. What was once a wild expanse of evergreen trees and rocky covered hills has settled into domestication.
Originally billed as an expedition, the founding of your frontier village is just now feeling completed. Women stoke cook-fires in stone fireplaces and men proudly roll stones to mark new property lines.
The first planting season is the deadline for naming the village, and a contest is being held during the crop festival to decide. Also, votes are cast for leader of the village.
>Roll 1d6 with name idea, feel free to reroll. First name to have a roll matching the one on this post is chosen.
Leadership ballot:
Joras The Wise - Elder Farmer
Murdas The Strong - Young Bull Warrior
Silius The Sly - Craftsman Guildmaster
Each leader will always lean a certain way in village decisions, and will predispose the village to certain actions. It will also remove and create new options in some situations. First to get a second is chosen.
More rules will be explained as things progress.

It's a mix between Magic/Yugioh and Hearthstone. Instead of having your mana in your deck, you have a Mana deck so you are sure to draw a mana card every turn.

Can I get suggestions (or links) to good fantasy music or soundtracks? Particularly of the instrumental variety.

Post the most humorous player deaths you can recall.
For me, it was in my very first game. DM had us chasing this bullshit wizard whos special gimmick was creating portals. He could create a few portals at will, but most of the time where the portal ended up was decided by a D20.
We eventually corner the wizard in a castle. Rogue wants to hit him with a special poisoned arrow so even if he gets away, he'll still be messed up.
Holy Paladin decides rushing in blindly and fighting him 1 on 1 would be smarter.
Wizard ends up in the dungeon, and hides in a cell. Paladin bursts in and enters the same cell.
Wizard opens a portal, and GM rolls the D20. Ends up that the portal opened to the Elemental Plane of Water, and infinite ocean begins flooding the castle, starting from the dungeon.
The wizard portals away, and myself and the other players escape, but the Paladin in his full plate armor drowns. Inside a castle. Miles away from any major source of water.
Best part was, the rogue ended up killing the wizard with the same poisoned arrow he offered to use earlier.
Many keks were had

I once played a game of Magical Burst where a player tried to protect themselves from a boss monster by putting up a barrier around their space.
Said boss-monster was one of those types who was literally merged with the environment and flooded the barrier with acid while the player were trapped inside.
I wasn't even being a jackass GM, I made it clear the other players could have helped her break the barrier in time if they wanted... but apparently abandoning their friend to avoid taking a few extra hits themselves was the better option.

A robot character player bought a ton of remote detonation C4 and had planned to use it.
Without letting him know, we filled his backpack up with the stuff and he went to negotiate with some nasty people. Unfortunately the BBEG showed their face and with lackeys at the meeting, and surrounded our guy and were basically going to just curb stomp and kill him. Right before that though the BBEG gloated and asked him if he had anything to say about the situation.
Our guy said something along the lines of "Man, I wish I'd gotten a self-destruct mechanism."
It was a bit OOC but the rest of us looked at one another and without another moment's hesitation triggered the detonator and brought the building down killing everyone there. The DM was pissed as hell but all of us, even the blown up guy who hadn't known anything of what we'd done, were laughing for like 5 minutes straight.
Either that, or the character that hit a tunnel roof while fighting on top of a train.

This is both terrifyingly depressing and funny to imagine. I'm picturing someone like slamming on the side of a fish tank as they're melting/drowning and the rest of the party being like "Nah, she'll be fine."

"What the fuck?" Tammy says "We better be fucking getting paid for this shit."
