i actually like stealing/cropping shit from the rulebooks. my fighter/rogue/cleric was literally just a shitty "totally not strahd btw" for years in that campaign

If you have physical books do you notate the books at all? Do you use tabs? If you do how do you use them? I just feel like I could organize my books a bit better but I never did anything like that in school.

>still no actual way to play a cool samurai, ninja, yamabushi or onmyoji in 5e
This edition failed the weebs.

When making a character, I have some idea of how I want them to look like so I need some way of getting that. Finding art doesn't quite cut it.
I don't want to invest money in a character just for a game to be cut short, so I start out with AI and if the game goes on long enough, I look for an artist to commission. Although it takes a while for me to find an artist who's style I'll be happy with (at a reasonable price).

amd that's a good thing

I honestly think using AI for character portraits is whatever. If you used it for backstory, if the DM used it for text or for all images, I think it would be more annoying. But these days character portraits are probably just for tokens more than anything, who cares?

I haven't watched the video because I don't need to. Their group has already removed "that guy".

Just look up any D&D horror stories channel, like that Crab. Watch one of those videos and see how it compares to your game and then judge hopw bad you are. I'm not linking you one because I don't want to flood my algorithm with that shit.


also, I don't put much stock in professional opinions for casual hobies.

Ninja and samurai both got their own class in 3.5. Yes yes we all know you can just pretend your rogue or fighter or whatever the fuck is a Jap.

The real reason they won't make any Asian themed classes is because of the DREADED fear of being called racists, or bigots, or culturally appropriating. WoTC despise the old book. They have in gigantic bold letters the following on the Oriental Adventure page of DTRPG

>We (Wizards) recognize that some of the legacy content available on this website does not reflect the values of the Dungeons & Dragons franchise today. Some older content may reflect ethnic, racial, and gender prejudice that were commonplace in American society at that time. These depictions were wrong then and are wrong today. This content is presented as it was originally created, because to do otherwise would be the same as claiming these prejudices never existed. Dungeons & Dragons teaches that diversity is a strength, and we strive to make our D&D products as welcoming and inclusive as possible. This part of our work will never end.

Jesus Christ, how horrifying. I have no idea when this DEI woke mind virus will end but I'm grateful that third party developers can at least continue to develop stuff that's not complete trash.

It's not a bad effect, but in what way do you think this is remotely cracked?

>>98209292
if you're that dark sun spear and shield guy i just want you to know that i genuinely think about you and your character all the time. it's so fucking cool yet so simple

The real reason is that they're allergic to making any new classes in 5e. They made a Samurai subclass, but all that did was highlight how pointless the whole concept is.

avg 3 tHP per turn for free, actionlessly

I'm not him, but he surely appreciates your comment.

Yes that too, to be honest I just assumed we were all talking about them doing it as subclasses. I have no idea why they don't make more classes. It would improve the game considerably. Prestige classes in particular were great. Now the equivalent is to go 2-3 different classes to get the subclass bonuses and call it a day while spamming cantrips because they scale off level instead of class level.

They did an interview recently that effectively said if they can’t figure out how to easily describe the class in a few words to a stranger and they don’t know it, they’ll pass. They’ll also pass if they can’t figure out how to make a bunch of subclasses off of it.

Like, fighter makes sense, has a lot of space inside to inspire things like a fighter-samurai or fighter-Jedi, but how many different iterations of the samurai could they do? If the new class can’t inspire a bunch of subclasses theyre not interested in it

I wouldn't turn it down but it's not going to drastically affect a creature's survivability. You remember temp hp doesn't stack, right?
Also, 3 is not the average of 1d4 or 2d4.

>>98209649
(2.5(2))0.65 = 3.35, or 3 rounded down

>>98209826
typo. should be 3.25. accidentally fubbed my key

Wow, somebody call the police
