Hey, just wanting to let all know that I haven't been getting online as much as I'd like to. Phone's dying and with it my internet connection, and don't know how much longer it will be before I can get a new one. True_believer, Trappedslider, sorry for the absence and not finishing the games.

Maybe sometime in the future can continue them. Don't know what the future will bring though.

it's all good

Can someone run Princes of the Apocalypse for me to play.

How's everyone been?

Do you have a pdf? I wouldn't mind running a game that doesn't require coming up with custom stuff.

Sir, that would be illegal.

Of course, of course. Silly me.

On the other hand, should I purchase the book for this express purpose, I am woefully uneducated in 5E. Would you be willing to assist me in the rules as I run it?

Ja

Also, I have an idea for a surfer dude druid, brah.

Both amusing and disturbing.

Significantly less then I imagined. Which I suppose is a good thing. Shame they didn't address the two naggling issues I had but hey what what ya going to do?

I guess the change on the unarmed strike is the biggest one? Although it doesn't change anything for Lee, since the monk gets to use the original rule. Too bad he can't use Water Whip and still attack in the same turn, though

The unarmed strike one is interesting. I wonder if unarmed strikes are supposed to be a thing then? If it's removed from the list then outside of monks unarmed strikes have no rules (that I recall). Unless you treat them as improvised weapons in which case whoo everyone gets a damage buff.

For the record the two things I expected to see changed were;
1) Monk Marital Arts bonus attacks (specifically losing to +Str/Dex mod on damage to bring it in line with the TWF rules)
2) Mountain Dwarves changed to CON +2, STR +1 to bring them in line with every other race

Unarmed Strike now has its own rule and it's in the errata:



Everyone follows this rule except the Monk class (he rolls 1d4 bludgeoning damage + mod + prof and it increases with levels) and the Aarakocra race (he always rolls 1d4 slashing damage + mod + prof).




You really embraced this house rule, eh?

Well I'm officially blind. Good to see there is at least a rule about it. Guess they just didn't want people enchanting there fists and things again like back in 3.5 ed. Makes sense.


I wouldn't call it a house rule so much as 'the book says nothing on the matter and there is in fact evidence to the contrary'. So yeah I consider it to be a legit rule.

Edit: Oh I see what you talking about now. Very funny. Rocks fall. You die.

Of all the RPGs going on, everything is 5E. That's kinda sad, I was hoping for more diversity.

It's the new system. Everyone wants to play with it. What ya gonna do?

Plus there is a 3.5 game currently in set up so that's something.

Someone should run a Gamma World game. I've never played, personally, but I have heard that the system is built to be really silly.
